    Seaweed salad
    Texas P.

    Got seabass sashimi, takioki, seaweed salad , then ordered shrimp and scallops with veggies and shrimp fried rice. Service was excellent and so was the food. Especially the sea bass. So fresh tasting . For sure will be back

    Salad and soup
    Rosy P.

    We've been here a couple of times now and I really like it here. We usually go to the other Samurai location but this one seems to have faster service. Once we're seated, someone comes and takes our drink order. Then we're ready to order and a short time later, our soup and salad are here. I love the dressing on their salad. It's sweet but not too sweet. I'm not a fan of that ginger dressing at other hibachi restaurants. We usually start off with their temptation roll. Today we arrived within their happy hour so we also ordered their edamame and rock-n-roll off the happy hour menu. I got my usual hibachi shrimp and filet mignon with the upgraded chicken fried rice. I love their temptation rolls! Soooo good!! We've been to hibachi many times and the "show" gets kinda old because they all tell similar jokes and such. I'm just here for the food! I don't really pay attention to the show anymore. I just enjoy the freshly cooked food. We got a good chef tonight. I think it's the same one we got last time we were here. He makes the fried rice very tasty. Everything was good and we left with full, satisfied bellies. I think we'll probably stick to this location from now on since the service is much quicker here. We don't have to wait so long for a chef to show up at our table and the servers are always around or easy to flag down. Atmosphere was great. I like that they don't try to cram a bunch of people in one table. We have enough space to eat our dinner without worrying about being too close to other diners. It's nice here. We had a great dinner.

    Delicious!! I love hibachi and tried Samurai for the first time with high expectations. Food was delicious, fresh and well-seasoned. Price was right and portions were abundant. Service was friendly and speedy.

    I frequent at this restaurant since it is located near my neighborhood. Each time it has been a pleasant experience. Today, I just had to write a review on how awesome this place is compared to the many other hibachi places in the area. We usually opt for the hibachi area but today we decided to sit at the sushi bar. I am so glad we did. The sushi chef was such a pleasure to talk to. He was so informative about the menu and cracked jokes with us. Special shout out to Mike for being the real deal! I will continue to come just to hang out with Mike and drink Lychee Sake bombs.

    The lunch special!

    I been going here for years it's great. The service is friendly and also their food is great! It's also fun to look at when they do the BIG Fire and the train !

    Best Hibachi around hands down. I love the appetizers and from what I hear the sushi is pretty good too. (Never had it personally)

    Food: 4.6/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.5/5 Even after being to (almost) all of the big AYCE sushi places in this area, Ohayo Sushi is probably still my favorite. Overall, it maintains the best quality from dish to dish and rarely fails to disappoint quality wise (obviously it won't be like a la carte quality, but it is lowkey close). I think their weakest aspect in restaurant quality is actually the service. I do like the use of the iPads to order, but sometimes there are just times where we won't get entire rounds of food until like 30 minutes later. Another issue I have is their soy sauce bottles, which have like a 50% chance to be sticky whenever you pick them up. Lastly, and this is with all the AYCEs, their fish is either a hit or miss on that particular day (personally, I like ordering just a few of each to try for fish quality before ordering like 30 the second round). Enough of the negatives, this is still really great. I love their steak hibachi, which is usually perfectly cooked and tender, offsetting the flavor of sushi after a few rounds. The salmon and fish roe are so addicting and I like enjoying them with the squid, seaweed, and crab salads. The soups are all pretty good and none of them have an off-putting flavor. All of their specialty rolls are so plump and filled. Another thing I like about this place is the ratios of ingredients in their specialty rolls. Other than the fried rolls, I feel as though there's always the perfect amount of rice and wrapper compared to the other ingredients, which is often hard to find in AYCE. This place just has their flavors down really well and is definitely the most well balanced and flushed out AYCE in this area.

    While I'm no stranger to Ohayo, this was my first visit since they introduced iPads for ordering…read more My dad and I arrived around 6:00 p.m. and were not surprised to see the restaurant completely packed. We were initially told the wait would be about 20 minutes, but it ended up being closer to an hour. Once we were finally seated, ordering through the iPad was simple and convenient. The sashimi and hibachi dishes arrived quickly, while the specialty rolls and fried items took considerably longer because of how busy the restaurant was. To get the most value out of an all-you-can-eat experience, I usually focus on ordering sashimi. My favorites were the salmon, yellowtail, and eel, all of which were fresh and enjoyable. The spicy scallop sushi was the standout of the entire meal and easily my favorite bite of the night. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, and that was the one I kept going back to. The steak hibachi was solid, with well-seasoned meat and generous portions. The fried oysters and crab rangoons were both crispy and cooked well without feeling overly greasy. The specialty rolls were good too. While none of them particularly stood out, they were all enjoyable and well made. Overall, there was not a single dish that I disliked. Even with the much longer-than-expected wait, the quality and variety of the food made for a satisfying all-you-can-eat experience. If you plan on visiting during peak dinner hours, I would recommend expecting a wait, but once you're seated, there are plenty of options to make the meal worthwhile.

To summarize my review before it begins, Masa is now my destination if I am craving sushi and Japanese food. The atmosphere was elegant, which makes it stand out from other surrounding sushi restaurants. We started off with cold sake and Ahi Poké Nachos, which were crispy and delicious. My friend and I split Sushi Combo C, which features 20 pieces of assorted sushi with California and Spicy Tuna rolls. The sushi was very fresh and skillfully made. The Tamago was freshly made with the traditional chopstick method. This was the best sushi I have had since I dined at Nobu in Las Vegas. Our companions had the chicken katsu Bento Boxes because they wanted an assortment of things to try. The tempura battered shrimp and vegetables were lightly crunchy and delicate. After dinner, the four of us had a round of Ninja Drop martinis, which were tangy and sweet. The owner, Michael Zhou (pronounced "zjoe"), came over to say hi. He encouraged us to try one of his favorite items, the Ahi Tuna Tartare, which was spectacular. To finish, we had a couple of bottles of hot sake alongside some yummy mochi ice cream. Our experience was amazing. Our server, Jordan, took great care of us, and we all had a great time. I was looking for an elevated experience, and I got exactly what I was looking for and more. I can't wait to eat here again and try other things on the amazing menu!

    I enjoyed the food. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice! I will be back to try…read moremore dishes!
