Great quality, very delicious and so many different options on the menu. My personal favorite is the hulk roll! Give it a try!(:

Our favorite place! It had the same owners for many years, now it is turned hands a couple times since they've sold! The food is always good. The ambience of the decor is still the same. One thing I can say the menu keeps getting better! read more

Great sushi, worth the 30 minutes drive. Wait times can be long, but just order ahead

This is the best sushi restaurant in turlock. They staff is so friendly and they are fun to be around. They always make sure you're taken care of. The ambiance is calm and warm. I try to come here at least 2 times a month when I can. They're food is absolutely delicious and they always have new rolls to try. read more

We love this place! It has always been our favorite. When it changed owners we worried it wouldn't be the same, but new owner has done a great job! He has even introduced us to new items. read more

The new owner is very time oriented. Food was ordered and out in a timely manner. Checked on by waiter multiple times very good service and great food! read more

We have made 3 ordered with them now waiting 1hr or more for each order then the restaurant cancels the order. This is bad business and not a good way to keep customers. We are done with this place now for sure!! read more

Deserves 5 stars! Delicious food, great vibes, and the cooks there are funny, kind and courteous. Service was impeccable.

Small and quaint and trying to be great, maybe Covid affected but could really use a little help. Set up more for take out, so even seated you get soy sauce in individual packs, wasabi and ginger in little cups to go. Sushi was fresh, small pieces with their nigiri and I ordered the Geisha roll which was good but again small. New waitress is friendly but not really sure how to wait on tables or handle orders. Really would like to give them a better rating but just can't at this time. I will try again in a few months to see if there's improvements. read more

This has to be the most disgusting sushi I have ever had. I have eaten at some of the best sushi restaurants in the Bay Area and since moving here I thought I would give this a try. The staff was very unprofessional and to top it off they didn't allow my son to enjoy and eat his Subway sandwich. Not only did they lose out on business but they also should work on customer service. Will not be returning ever. read more

Food and service is outstanding.The effort they put into their craft is unmatched in the valley. Great environment, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good sushi. read more

Samurai Sushi - Sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Turlock, California

So in the three days in a row I went back to get me sushi again from them I ordered me two caterpillar but instead of they give me California and charge me same because they were out of ingredients and they lie these people are ripoff and have no respect for customers when you go there make sure you check your food if it's correct ingredients. And the portion for what they're changing is really small. read more

My son and I have been coming here sense new ownership. Lucas is the 1st to great us every time we come in with a huge smile. The food is always amazing and the customer services is always on point. This is a must try places you won't regret it. read more

Stopped going because with the previous owners the service was horrible, I've tried it with the new owners a couple times and they're amazing, food is incredible good. Totally recommend this place read more

Insanely expensive ($5 for a soda, $4 for one scoop of rice?!), standard sushi, and a rude waitress. The chef was nice and explained things well, which is the only reason I left two stars instead of one. read more

Favorite Sushi Restaurant in the Valley!!! My family and I have been going here for years. We absolutely love it ! No other sushi place has reasonably compared to Samurai. For a low/middle range price for sushi you are absolutely getting high quality sushi. We've been to many many MAAAANY sushi places and it's never worth the $18-25 dollars a roll. Owners and staff are always friendly! read more

Wow! Amazing We ordered the Sex Bomb Roll and it's definitely the bomb! We also ordered the Philadelphia roll and the Chris's Roll all were very good. Love the new owner He's very nice. The menu is all the same but I recommend trying the specials you won't regret it! read more

The food here is really not that great. It is mostly lots of sauces and very little protein in the rolls, it is mostly rice. I have been here a total of two times. I want it to give it another try unfortunately it was the same disappointment with the food. They are nice and the service is okay but this review is based on the food. And for that I will have to unfortunately give them a 2 :( read more

I absolutely love this place! My parents have been going here since around 2003! All the spicy rolls are my personal favorite. I will never stop going here (: read more

The sushi here is a joke. The way the rolls were rolled up was hilarious. They started coming apart by the time our server put them down. If I was rolling my sushi with my feet I would've done better. Rice was hard and not sticky at all. The only reason this place survives is because its cheap and some patrons associate plenty of food as good value and hence good food. You dont even need to go there to believe me. Just take a look at the pics some of the other yelpers have posted. Sushi looks like Indian Biryani. read more

Lucas and Dinis are the best! I love coming to this place! Everyone should come here.

We love this place and the sushi is always so fresh and delicious. Moving from a different area I was worried I would not find good sushi. Five years later and this is my go to spot. Never disappoints. Love the family the runs it as well. Always so friendly and treat you like family. read more

Don't listen to the bad reviews at all. The only reason there is mistakes is because they are so busy. The quality is the best in Turlock by far. Peter (the owner) ensures that the quality of the food is up to par. read more

Had a wonderful meal today at Samurai Sushi. 5 stars. Everything we ordered was tasty from the sushi rolls to the cooked salmon. Their tempura was excellent as well. I'm looking fwd to going back here and try more things on the menu. Hope future experiences will be just as good as today's.. read more

Tried Samurai Sushi first time today and ordered Katsu Chicken and shrimp tempura dinner. It was yummy and would definitely go back again to try more stuff! read more

Samurai Sushi - Shrimp tempura and Katsu Chicken dinner. - Japanese Near Me - Turlock, California

This place is bad. Food was bad, service was bad. The rolls looked smashed and were falling apart on the plate before we even touched it. The worst part is when we told them the rolls were bad they didn't seem to care. The chicken for teriyaki and katsu were all nerves and very poor quality meat, only camouflaged by the sauce and batter. Even the shrimp tempura was badly battered and when you bit into it, it was more batter than meat. It was just all around gross. We paid $50 and barely touched our food. read more

Great sushi, honestly if you're in Turlock and you eat anywhere other than samurai sushi put down the chopsticks (fork if you're a child) and head to samurai read more

The sushi is good here but sometimes the customer service isn't great. I usually do phone orders and the last few times my food has not been ready in the time they tell me. read more

Outstanding service! Thank you for allowing my family and I to enjoy a quick meal. Super fast service and the food was good. We appreciate y'all! read more

Fireee great food, environment; and price! Staff is super friendly and answered all the questions I had

Server seems nice the little she interacted with us ... but service is slow (only one person working all the tables, it's a small place but needs more than one person serving). Food was very bland and poor quality. Ordered Edamame (4.95) and Spicy Roll Combo (14.95) appetizers, small house salad (2.50) a small miso soup (1.50) two beef bowls (9.95 each) and a chicken bowl (8.95), two sapparos (4.95 each) and a soda (1.50) ... total with tax was $66... My husbands chicken bowl came out before anything else (ton of sticky over cooked rice with cabbage little bit of broccoli and a little dry over cooked chicken) ... next edamame and spicy Roll combo came out (spicy roll was so poorly made of you tried to pick it up every thing feel out, so overly sauced you tasted nothing else). The house Salad came out it was a little bowl of lettuce with a big glob of dressing) finally the two beef bowls came out (bowl is actually a plate and two had huge chips out of the side)... same as chicken bowl ton of sticky over cooked rice and cabbage few pieces of broccoli and a hand full of beef the sauce was very sweet) .... after we where almost done the small bowl of miso soup finally arrive. No apologies for the delay or anything. I do understand the poor server was running around there where 3 other tables and they had all arrived a bit after us and a couple take out orders. Oh and what we ordered wasn't actually or first choice ... when we ordered we where told they didn't have the noodles for it. Guess they are special as I saw two other people order a soup that had noodles in it) ... This will most likely be our first and last time here. read more

See all

Chefs are amazing. I have enjoyed every dish I have eaten here. Staff is friendly, they answer all my questions.. very helpful. Just tried their ramen today and it was DELICIOUS. Great atmosphere. The owner is doing an awesome job with this place. I have tried many sushi restaurants in the area.. samurai is by far the best. read more

I heard about this sushi spot being good, so we thought we would try it out.. YOU GUYS this place is AMAZING! I often try different sushi spots from Fresno to Modesto and this place easily took my number 1 spot. I'm not too picky and like to try different things, so I just told the chef to make us whatever he wanted. We tried at least 5 different types of sushi and they were all so tasty--many different ingredients were used with awesome presentation on the plate. It reminded me of a high-end sushi restaurants in SF and Vegas. I think the only reason why they aren't rated 5 stars is because it is under new ownership with new chefs and they had to absorb any poor reviews from the previous owners.. If I lived in Turlock, I would be a regular here. Try it out!! read more

I love Samurai sushi! They new owners are awesome the rolls are amazing and they customize what ever you like! They are awesome and affordable! read more

We have liked Samurai Sushi for a while now. So we where a little apprehensive when we found out they where under new ownership. One word WOW! This is some of the best Sushi I have ever had anywhere. They can hold there own to any sushi in San Francisco. Fresh, clean great balance and the best of ingredients. So far we have had the Sex bomb roll, tiger, dragon, rock and roll, Ebi and Sunimono Salad - I would recommend all. Friendly service, great menu. Thank you Samurai Sushi! See you next week. read more

My favorite sushi spot ever. love all there rolls especially the josh's roll. every time i go they have really nice and friendly staff, never had a bad experience with them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone read more

Great service and cravings are always satisfied. Delicious food

Samurai Sushi is so good. I've had the 007, Highlander, The Elizabeth and The Macho. All tasty! Very friendly service too.

The server was polite and friendly it was our first time here and we weren't sure what to order he was sure to explain to us and was patient with taking our order the sushi rolls are amazing and the prices were really good we will be coming back read more

Had an amazing time at this restaurant with a group of my close friends. The staff was on top of everything and did their best to make sure everyone in the restaurant was getting great service. This would by far be my number one recommendation for sushi in Stanislaus county. read more
