3 stars is generous for our experience. They are entirely for the grill. The non grill food and service is awful. For example, the Monkey brains shown here is a ton of mayo on uncooked mushroom with fake crab inside. I’m talking about midwestern amountsof Mayo. When the server asked if everything was alright I had brought it up for her to tell me ‘That’s how it is, unlessyou order it with no ‘sauce’. Sushi was not great and had to flag down a different server for ginger since she stoppedchecking in with us after not liking the mushrooms. I could’ve let a good amount of that roll off except she kept acting likeI wasn’t there after that. She hands my partner the check, I pay, I hand it to her,...
It's very rare that I get to come to Albuquerque but when I do, I always try and eat at Samurai. I was very disappointed in everything. I brought a first timer to experience the atmosphere of the whole habachi experience and boy it was nothing like howI first experience my first time at Samurai. No tricks from the chief, food was not the greatest. I ordered the New York Steakand shrimp. And both items were both rubbery. It may be awhile before I return to Albuquerque but I think Samurai just lost meas a customer.
I have been going to Samurai for many years now, and while it is not as good as it was in my childhood, it is still a great restaurant. One of the things that makes it so great is the ratio of food quantity to price. So you are easily getting yourmoneys worth for good food, and if you are on the Tappan side you are also getting a show to go with it. I think this is a greatdate spot or a nice place to have an evening with the family.
I’ve eaten here pre and post Covid, so I can say that the food quality is the same every time you get it. It’s great for the price. The sushi rolls always taste fresh, the hibachi chefs always give great service and make everything to ur specifications.Waiters are always fast and helpful, great service all around. It’s not like gourmet or anything, but why would you expectthat from a restaurant in NM? The ocean is like 17 hrs away

Sushi isn't super authentic but some of the rolls were tasty. I must admit, I was taken back by the New Mexico roll, which is served with a tortilla instead of rice...clearly that would not have been found in Japan...but the sushi with the tempura shrimp is yummy
Good Teppan, Okay Sushi. The teppan grill food is equivalent to that served at Japanese Kitchen. It is good and the teppan chefs have fun with their clientele. The sushi is good, but I prefer a few other places in town slightly more.
Love the food from grill, good egg rolls, soup and salad. One of my favs and am a regular, prices are almost in half for lunch. i dont eat eat sushi so can't rate it
love sushi! If you want to find good sushi, this is a great place to find it. The sushi chef(s) make sure that what you receive is good-quality.

The grill is entertaining and the food is ok. The prices are high. The sushi is just really ok. It's not the best but not worse place to go to.
Service was so great! Our waitress was very nice and thoughtful! They just added ramen to their menu and it was delicious!!
