Samurai Hibachi & Ramen — Restaurant in Ocala

TL;DR- Great atmosphere, great service, and good food!

The atmosphere in this place is killer!

When you walk in, you're greeted by merch, figures (that you can also buy), and quarter machines! When you're seated, you can see that they have a wall of anime figures, a giant Goku statue, and a whole wall mural (sprinkle in a couple wall decorations here and there).

Even their to-go cups were branded and had their mascot on them, it was a really nice touch!

The staff was super nice, answered all the questions we had, and when one of them forgot to answer, they came back later to apologize about it and filled us in on what we needed to know, which was much appreciated!

The food was good, too! The house soup, steak hibachi, and yum yum sauce were all delicious! Not everything was absolutely amazing, like the chicken katsu and veggie tempura did not taste seasoned. But the chicken tempura being used in the ramen was enjoyable, and using the sauces available helped, as well.

I think the portion sizes are good for the price, and I would happily come here again! They also give you a card at the end of your visit that has a scratch-off, so that you can get a mystery discount upon your next visit!! We thought that...

This place is amazing! Went here for my husband's birthday dinner and we were all extremely impressed with our meals! I had the spicy tonkatsu ramen with chicken. The broth was SOOO flavorful! The perfect amount of spice! My mouth is still watering thinking about it... Best spicy tonkatsu broth in all of Ocala! My husband had the Japanese curry with pork katsu- another super flavorful dish! And my dad had combo hibachi- came out with a ton of food and so cool you get to pick your own sides here! No longer are you forced to slurp on soup and eat salad before your meal arrives; you can have items like spring rolls instead! Lots to choose from!!! No matter what you get, you can't go wrong here! It was so good we went back a couple days later and my husband and I both got the ramen this time...! And if you let them know when it's your birthday, if you choose to come for that occasion, you get a free dessert - which we had no idea but was an awesome added bonus to a wonderful meal! We don't eat out often, but when we do we will definitely be returning here! Definitely...

My family and I had the pleasure of dining here. The service was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and fresh. The sake and wine selection were nice. The portion sizes were larger than expected for the price which was a nice surprise. The food tasted authentic. It reminded my wife and me of our time in Japan. The food came out quickly. I highly recommend the ramen and the agedashi tofu. The portion of sake and wine we received were generous. I enjoyed the flavor and aroma of the hot sake. The restaurant is filled with cool anime figures. They are for sale depending on their availability. The manager was willing to sell their last Goku Black figure for a good price, even though it wasn't for sale. I really appreciated that as it was a gift for my wife. We enjoyed talking to the staff. They were very kind and attentive. Service was fast and professional. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time at Samurai. A big thank you to the staff for making our visit enjoyable. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and...
