    Crunchy roll, Japanese style cucumber roll, miso soup, pot of hot green tea, & not shown was green tea mochi ice cream, very delicious...
    Ken L.

    when I 1st walked in, I loved the ambiance, space seemed limited in size but has a nice open room setting & relaxing dark color scheme, although not comfortable seeing the large glowing red floor heater by one table setting near the restroom exit, it was gone after the couple sitting there left so I'm sure it was there for them. Realizing since post covid business costs have jumped dramatically & labor limited, I expected prices to be a little higher than is used to be dining & service taking a bit longer. In this case, overall the service was good, considering there were only 2 servers & 1 chef that I could see with I think the owner running around in the back, but everyone was spot on friendly, even the chef that delivered my meal. I had the crunchy roll with miso soup & hot green tea with a cucumber roll as a fresh closer to my meal and green tea mochi ice cream for desert. The miso soup was perfectly delicious, something I always love to start my meal with, a whole pot of hot green tea that perfectly complimented my whole meal, and the crunchy roll with tempura shrimp, avocado, & such was very very tasty, although the rice with the slices was not very firm to hold with chopsticks & dip into the wasabi & soy sauce, ended up eating them carefully by hand, and the waitress was kind enough to check with the chef who complied with making the cucumber roll in the more traditional way rolled with the nori on the outside. I was a little disappointed in not really getting to try out my new pair of SnowPeak chopsticks I got as a gift, should have asked for a tempura shrimp roll without the crunchy specialty, rice might have been firmer, but overall the meal was delicious, a little spendy at about $28 for all of it not counting tip which was more than adequate, but the chef did do a little extra with the cucumber roll, I had plenty of nice hot green tea, and every one there were very friendly & attentive with me. Might have been more economical with other menu choices, but that is what I typically order for sushi which usually comes in a combo with 2 rolls not counting the added cucumber roll. I had a hard time navigating thru the menu, which had so many choices, but was not clear if the miso soup & tea went with the meal or what, I couldn't find just a tempura shrimp roll, & don't like having to ask so many questions of the menu although the cucumber roll thing is somewhat of a deal with me, being a favorite my mom does for me when I visit, and she once told me while dining out that the cucumber roll is a nice refreshing course at the end of a sushi meal to "cleanse your palate", especially done the more authentic Japanese way, although I didn't ask to have the cucumber sliced in thicker spears like she does. Really others should try it, see my picture to get the idea... Overall score was more around 4 of 5 stars for food & service with minor room for improvement, & I feel bad but I had to be brutally honest & give it a 3 not feeling the value was there for a meal I consider more casual than big treat & fancy dinner fare. I still liked the place, might drop in again when I'm passing thru, hope they grow & be successful....

    Best restaurant in Grays Harbor, hands down! The Westport roll has to be the best sushi I've ever had.

    The food was great, service was excellent. The ambiance was nice. The servers had everything you asked for.

    I had to come to this town for work, and as a Texas transplant to this area I was very open minded about food. I checked Yelp and this places did a decent enough review business to give it a try. The ambiance was average. Very much what Americans expect of an Asian style restaurant. I have not spent a lot of time up here, so is a space heater next to a table an average thing? I will say that walking in, I stood there for a while in front of their "wait to be seated sign." Similarly when I was finally seated, it was about ten minutes before my waiter/waitress came. The menu is simple. Sushi, ramen, udon noodles etc. I took a Quick Look, found a local brewery on draft (Steam Donkey), gyoza (I'm fond of them), and an advertised spicy roll, vampire roll. When my waitress eventually arrived, I order my appetizer, main course and drink at once. My gyoza were probably the best I have ever had. Crisp outer shell, well seasoned inside, infused with matcha for veggie and left crisp and brown for pork. Seriously, loved this. And the miso soup, delicious. My sushi roll, was disappointing. Especially at their price point. Imagine a California roll with imitation crab, that they added sriracha rice to the top and up charge you almost 20 for, what you get is a mediocre dish, you pay through the nose for. Just didn't think the quality matched their price point. Service 2/5 - they were friendly and polite, but I waited a long time for a table and to make my order. Food: 3/5* - gyoza and the miso were good(5/5) , sushi was average (3/5). Menu needs some dish diversity but might try again for the gyoza.

    Sorry! We didn't take the time to photograph the sushi until it was too late!

    Even on a busy end-of-summer holiday weekend Saturday evening, we had absolutely superb service and food at Samurai. After a day at the beach, we were driving back through Aberdeen and found Samurai using Yelp. In the mood for sushi, the reviews indicated a promising possibility. Our server, a very pleasant young man, took our order and started bringing food. We had ordered five items, miso soup, a side of rice, and tea. The soup, rice, and tea came immediately. Our server notified us that one of the items was out of stock, but when the sushi came, it had been substituted with smoked salmon sushi. The quality of the fish was absolutely tip-top. We were very impressed with everything, but were particularly impressed with the unagi (fresh water eel), the yellowtail, and the smoked salmon. Both the smoked salmon and the "regular" salmon were extremely fine-grained, just melting on the tongue. The pieces of fish used in the sushi were very generous. Wow. My wife and I have had the opportunity to have sushi in many places around the world, including at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. We've been eating sushi for decades. Our selections at Samurai were among the very best we've ever had.

    Spicy tuna roll forgot the official name.

    Excellent Service!!! We had a great time and the Sashimi/Hamachi was delicious!!! Melted in my mouth and tasted like it just came out of the ocean. The Sushi Alaska was yummy and we enjoyed their Udon too. We love stopping of here on our way to Ocean Shores, and it's our go to in Grays Harbor. We will be back! BTW, try their lemon-aid it's bottom-less and it's real. Thank you for sharing your delicious food. We love driving through Aberdeen to see this Oasis at the end of the boulevard as we dream of the day of this city's revival.

    Samurai sushi is our favorite spot to go for sushi. It's better than all the sushi places that we've tried from aberdeen to Olympia so far. I've always gotta order the westport, vampire roll and Philadelphia. Other good ones are the tiger roll, Alaskan roll, and volcano roll. The avacado boat and calamari is delicious. I always order masago and/or tobiko I'm obsessed with those tiny fish eggs. Crazy good!!!

    Tried items from each Asian ethnic section. Found I prefer Chinese Honey wings to Korean. SB makes…read morethe BEST spring rolls with LARGE shrimp and cilantro! Many places skimp on these. Huge selection of Bubble teas. Husb. loves their fried rice, no leftovers. Took 3 takeout meals to enjoy over W/E. Whenever we drive into town we stop in for either a bubble tea and/or takeout to take home for dinner. Try it, you'll find several good things on their menu, friendly staff and neighbors.

    Very good. Vietnamese leaning teriyaki, pho, wok, boba tea spot in west Hoquiam. We'd never been…read morebefore and my sister, who is a local Hoquiamese, had not mentioned this place. We'd been to another teriyaki joint in town and were split on that one, so we decided to give this one a try on the way back from Forks area. We're glad we did because we found our new favorite spot in Hoquiam. The food, service, and restaurant were are really good. The variety of delicious items on the menu is a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. Like, if I were to grub out while living in Hoquiam, I'd be going to Speed Bowl all the time. Their teriyaki is true to Seattle-style - very tasty. My daughter really enjoyed the Philadelphia roll, which is a win any time it's on the menu. Next time I'll try the Thai or Boba tea (no boba, don't bully) options for sure - they looked amazing. The place was clean, there's a fair amount of parking, and service was nice. The girl who was working the register and lobby was very kind and served well. Seemed like a younger crowd inside than most other restaurants in town that aren't bar and grills. We all enjoyed our meals here and will return again next time in town, even if it's a little far from where we usually stay. Only gripe is it's a slightly higher priced joint but I'd say it was worth it!
