“ Oh, how I love being a foodie. It's the friends you meet, the bar conversations, getting to know the owners and chefs, that's what gets you the off the cuff chefs tasting menu we splurged on tonight. My friend has been a friend of Samurai's owner Jerry for years and I have enjoyed so many meals here. Tonight Joel brought a tin of caviar and we told Jerry to give us his best, and damn sure he did. The evening was flowing of sake, caviar bumps and delicious bites. The first bite of the tempura nori, uni and caviar sent me out of the galaxy. All our eyes rolled back in unison when we tasted that delightful bite and we knew it was just the beginning. The A5 Wagyu tartar was so good I nearly had a tear fall from my face. My taste buds were on a roller coaster with the luxurious fat and umami flavors dancing on my tongue. The fried yellow tail and young yellowtail collars were so rich and unctuous. We didn't even know what to do when the sushi boat arrived. Some pieces were adorned with the caviar, prized toro and Wagyu nigiri. The rolls were indulgent. All served with FRESH grated wasabi, which is how you know you got it good, no dry horseradish paste to be found for this meal. None of this is on the menu, but it you ask, Jerry will treat you to a fine dining omakase experience. I highly recommend checking out all they have to offer at Samurai! Keep your eyes peeled because I think specialty omakase experiences are coming soon! ”

“ Service was friendly, Buddha roll and salad was fantastic. Bartender made a great saki recommendation. ”

“ This place wasn't bad. We were seated right away and service was fast. They had some more of the unique rolls I have seen in the capital district. All the rolls tasted fresh. My husband had a roll with steak which he liked. The drinks were just okay, a little inconsistent. My husband wasn't in love with his first drink so he got a Blackberry Margarita (which was my first) and it was good but it didn't match my drink at all. ”

“ I have been here 3 or 4 times before for sushi and all was tasty. This week I went with a group for hibachi for my son's birthday and they did not disappoint! Our hibachi chef really played into the hands of my 4 and 6 year olds. In addition to cooking a great meal and entertaining us with his skills, he made a balloon monkey for the birthday boy. They also brought an ice cream desert with mochi and a sprinkle with my little guy loved! I had a spicy jalapeño tuna and Philadelphia roll with an order or tuna and salmon sashimi, in addition to a lychee martini. Delicious and fresh! Highly recommended. ”

“ I really enjoyed this play. Nothing special with appearance but... the food was really good ”

“ We just got into town around dinner time and we were looking for a great place to eat. Samurai was open, it had some solid reviews and the photos of the food looked pretty good, so we decided to give it a go! We were seated immediately upon arrival. The waitress was very quick and professional with getting us drinks and taking our orders. All of the workers in fact seemed to have a pretty good attitude. I went with 3 kinds of sushi, the Firecracker roll which is spicy tuna & jalapeno pepper inside, pepper tuna & avocado on top along with spicy mayo, the Virginia roll which is spicy white tuna, jalapeno, scallion and cucumber and finally a Texas roll which is pepper tuna, cucumber and avocado. The rest of our party went with hibachi. My sushi was very good, way better than expected. The fish was fresh, each roll was beautifully made and the taste was amazing! I was so happy with my sushi that I'm already looking forward to checking out some more of their signature rolls if and when I go back. The hibachi show was corny but the kids liked it. The chef was nice and had some personality. There's lots of fire and razzle dazzle in the act, but if you've seen it once you've seen in a thousand times. As for the food, the hibachi proteins were great. I tried the filet mignon and loved it, it was cooked perfectly and was so well seasoned. Really delicious. Aside from meat or fish, the hibachi meal also comes with a mountain of noodles, rice, and veg. The meal is probably enough for 2 people, or even 3. It's insane. We ate so well and the price was pretty reaonable, about $25 a person when all was said and done. I gotta say, I really liked Samurai. Five stars. Check it out. ”
