    Drunken noodles with chicken - the bomb!
    Julie M.

    There is a lot to love about Thai Samurai in Bellevue which took over the former Lemongrass space. The moment you walk in, the bright open room feels familiar with plenty of booths so you can be seated quickly. The service is fast and extremely attentive, but the food is what really makes this place shine. Everything comes out fresh with a focus on presentation. Our curry arrived in a metal serving dish set over a small gas flame to keep it warm which was such a thoughtful touch. The drunken noodles were spicy, rich and deeply satisfying with those wide flat noodles cooked exactly the way you want them. They also offer brown rice in generous portions which I appreciated. Every dish was full of bold seasoning with just the right amount of red chili heat. They are open late for Bellevue, closing at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays which makes it a perfect spot to unwind with friends after a long work week. I am so glad Thai Samurai is in the neighborhood. A wonderful addition to the area.

    Panang curry
    Nicole D.

    My favorite Thai in Nashville! I've tried several others and all were bland and disappointing. Disclaimer: I like my Thai food hot. Sweating and nose runningly hot. You have to order it hot to get this result (it's Tennessee .. they don't really do spicy or exotic here) but this is the best I've found by far. I love the Panag curry, dumplings, and all the noodle dishes. I've only had takeout or delivery, both are fast!

    Lunch menu

    The place is nice and clean. Weird blue seating but that's no big deal. The waiter was awesome and sweet. The meal came with soup and salad. It was great ! Then I got the green curry chicken and it was excellent! One of the better ones in town! Happily surprised and it came out very quick. I had a water. The total with too was 21 dollars. Not bad really. I'll go back for sure. The decor is the only reason I can't give it a 5. It felt kind of like a diner. But that don't change the way it tastes in your mouth.

    Salad
    Lia M.

    Thai Samurai is fairly basic. I'd never usually choose a place that didn't focus on just one cuisine, though this was fine for lunch. I wanted the pad see ew, but though the menu states Chinese broccoli, pictures show otherwise, along with carrots. That's not pad see ew, so I passed. I went with a bento box, with a tofu vegetable stir fry, tempura, and gyoza. It hit the spot for lunch. Salad was unimpressive, but I liked the miso soup. Service was good. This place isn't fancy but it's not a bad choice when in the area.

    Pad see ew
    Andrea P.

    The food was delicious. To the reviews commenting on price--it's on par, if not slightly under, the expected cost for basic Thai food. And this place does have fantastic service as well as ambiance. While they have a large menu, it doesn't feel overwhelming. It was my first time here and the food came out fast. Next time I go, I'm getting hot tea afterwards!

    Massaman Chicken Curry with Rice Noodles
    Ashby F.

    Still a good spot for Thai food. As inflation has taken its toll, this place has definitely outpaced the rest of the economy. They recently changed their name and have raised their lunch prices by 50+% in the last few years. Not nearly the good deal it used to be, but still good food.

    Fried rice

    The food was INCREDIBLE. We got Pad kee Mao level 3 spice, fried rice for the kids and mango sticky rice for dessert. Portions were larger than expected, the food was full of flavor, perfect balance of spice and flavor (the only thing i would add to the pad kee mao are cherry tomatoes to give another texture and burst of flavor). The service was average, the people were kind but nothing really noteworthy. The inside is very clean and organized, comfortable and pleasant.

    Lard nar with the gravy I took out
    Anita M.

    After trying lemongrass again, I have completely changed my opinion. I am positive I had just experienced an off day. Now, I can say this is one of my favorite Thai spots. I have tried other Tom Khas and Chicken Larb in and around Nashville and none really compare to this place. They have perfected the flavors and there is a reason this place got a face lift. People love this spot. They serve their food with love and care. The servers here are all very sweet. I personally love and can recommend any of their noodle dishes along with the starters mentioned above. Anytime my friends order sushi they are also happy with their food.

    Delicious sushi roll! I can't remember the name, however it was great!
    Lillian K.

    Loved this place! My 1 year old was a bit fussy and the staff was so kind and offered her orange slices right away! The service was quick and food was good. My daughter got California rolls and potstickers- pretty straight forward and good. My husband got Drunken Noodles with Beef and loved it! The portion could feed 2 people easily. I forgot which sushi roll I got, however wanted ti say they are a good portion size for the price. Overall, the Japanese/Thai options are nice to have. I'd come here again to try more dishes.

    Tuna sushi
    Cheryl D.

    The service was outstanding! They were attentive and kind. I got the chicken teriyaki and my husband got the dumplings and tuna sushi. The teriyaki was ok. A little bland for my liking but good nonetheless. I have a very festive glass of Ameretto and sprite that was perfect. My husband loved the dumplings and sushi.

    my dear friend Dianne

We started off with a round of champagne and a bottle of red wine for dinner. We tried a variety of dishes since we were told that the set up is family style: Hamachi Crudo: 10/10 one of the best I've ever had! Super fresh and the sauce paired well with it. Bluefin Tune Crudo: 8/10 It was really fresh and well prepared, but I've had better elsewhere. I typically prefer bluefin tuna sashimi or nigiri anyway. Tuna Crispy Rice: 9/10 This was such a fun and delicious way to eat spicy tuna! All of the seasonings made it packed full of flavor. Tomahawk Ribeye 9/10: This was insanely tender, and well seasoned. Tip: ask for lemon wedges to sprinkle some lemon juice on it--thank me later. Broccolini 8/10: well prepared, and I loved the lemongrass garlic chili that topped it East Side Shrimp 7/10: These were well cooked and well seasoned. Loved the salad placed underneath it. Wagyu Tartare 8/10: It was well prepared and loved that it's paired with nori and rice. Wished it had a bit more punch to it in terms of seasoning. Crab Fried Rice 8/10: this was delicious but still say it's a solid 8. Beautifully prepared! Korean Hot Wings 2.5/10: I could tell that it was well cooked, but it was insanely salty; it was practically inedible. Hurricane Fries 9/10: These were so delicious! You are immediately hit with the smell of truffle, which made my mouth water. Packed with flavor! Brussels 7/10: These were well roasted, but the sauce was a tad too sweet for my liking. I highly recommend trying this place out!

You are ushered back through a curtain into a speakeasy style omekase that seats 14. You're taken to your spot at the bar and greeted with a drink menu. Chef already in place. I grabbed an Yuzu honey bee, which is made with Maker's Mark, honey syrup, yuzu, and pink peppercorn. As they are using a non-rye bourbon (Makers is 70% corn, 16% red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley), the peppercorn adds a bite of a bite you expect with a good rye. Thumbs up. The preparation, interaction and the atmosphere are all top notch. I can't say the same for the food. I am sure the cuts were high end, but many of the items tasted old, giving it a taste that was not much better than supermarket sushi on some of the bites. The artistry was top notch, but the fish was off. I had great engagement with the chef, who is orginally from South America. Andy, who I have known for a long time from Black Dynasty, came in for the next round (we only required 1 chef, as there were only 4 people doing the experience). I give a full thumbs up on the atmosphere and experience. If the sushi had rung the same bell, this could have easily been a 5 star. I imagine this is not the normal experience one has here as I am seeing a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews of the spot. Not sure if it was a slow weekend and they did not sell enough and figured they had one more day or something else, but I was thankful I did not add on and stuck with the special only. As they are now running the $55 special Sunday through Thursday, I have a feeling they either are not hitting with the tourist crowd or others have been in the same boat. It is a shame, as the experience is excellent.

There was plenty of seating to grab a drink and hang out before being sat for dinner, and the bartender/server were very attentive. My partner and I arrived early, and we ordered a couple of cocktails from the bar. I ordered the Lost in Tokyo which was delicious, but I thought it was a little odd that it was served over ice for a drink with a coconut milk base. It watered down the cocktail too quickly. My partner got the Can't be Tamed, and it was the perfect spicy marg. Once we were sat the courses were incredible. The flavors were complimentary of each other in every bite, and there was not a single course I didn't like! The best bites were probably the fatty tuna and the surf-n-turf. The chefs were fun and chatty and kept the upbeat vibes going. I also thought the sake toast was a fun addition. This meal was paced perfectly, and I'd definitely come again when they are running another special.

They book out 6 weeks in advance; with only 14 seats and 3 seatings per night, they are sold out in seconds when they go on sale at midnight. I have lucked out twice, once even getting a duo, so not impossible, but not easy. When you enter, you walk into a small bar area, where you can order a cocktail or two. I opted for the Shibuyu Nights, which had a slight coffee note on top of the whisky and bourbon. At the prescribed time, you are led into the omekase and the experience begins. Cue fanfare music now. This is nearly the definition of perfection. Each dish was both art and culinary genius. Pacing is perfect. Chefs interact with the patrons, enhancing the experience and the wait staff is well versed on which types of sake work best with different course. At the end of the meal you can add on extras, some from the menu and others off. If you are not full, I recommend considering the add ons.

I figured if I was going to try, it needed to be at a place that knew what they were doing. James our sushi chef, definitely knew what he was doing. The servings were one piece at a time, served at a comfortable pace. Each piece was a different sort of fish, or a piece of wagyu beef! I enjoyed myself. The flavors made up for my personal wariness of the textures. Each piece was filled with delicious flavors. We ended up super full and content, and happy with our time here. I highly recommend.
