I called a week in advance to reserve a havachi table for my son’s birthday dinner … I asked then if I could decorate the table bring some balloons and a cake they agree to all of it… once I decorated they asked me to not do too much because it is an inconvenience for them to clean after. As we were eating there was a waiter who keeps coming by to collect our plates while we were still eating… after that we light up the cake sing happy birthday and we start cutting the cake and immediately after that; we were asked to move from our hibachi table that I had reserved for this occasion. They moved us to a common table to finish celebrating my son‘s birthday… I sure did not appreciated this treatment ; our meal six adults one child including tip was $300 and I was asked to move from our table… The owner try to make up by buying us a rum of drink to try to make up. However this was a 18 year old boy celebration; we left unhappy and we are never go back… now we all this said the food was great the chef was great, but the...
Read moreI really do like this restaurant. The food is good and fresh, as sushi should be. Beautiful presentation. The rolls are creative and large -- I am working my way through the special rolls and haven't had a bad one yet. They also offer some excellent soups and appetizers. Service is prompt. I've never tried the teppanyaki side of the restaurant, although it seems people have a good time gathered around the tabletop show. The only drawback is that the good times can get loud. Still, this is a favorite in Croton, a required stop when I am in the area!
Another visit to Samurai: Saturday night, very busy! Lots of kids and lots of excitement when the chefs do their routines on the grills. But I am a sushi person, and that menu did not disappoint. The servers were hurried this time -- it was quite busy. The food was prompt, though. And yummy, as usual. I still stand behind my top rating for this restaurant, and I hope they will have an opportunity to remodel and expand the restaurant...
Read moreThe food is always delicious and high quality. The place is clean, has very friendly and helpful staff, and the prices are pretty good. I'm actually not a huge fan of sushi, but the hibachi chicken and the chicken katsu are a couple of my favorite menu items. For someone who doesn't really like sushi, I've tried it, and the sushi I can tell is very good quality! I just prefer other things from their menu. I LOVE the dressing they use on the green salad, I could drink that stuff straight. The appetizers are really good, too. Some of my favorites are the gyoza and the asparagus wrapped in beef (though I forget what that's called on the menu.) I often order delivery and it always arrives quickly and still hot (if the food is meant to be hot, anyway. Sushi is served cold!) I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice place to go for a date, with their family, or to plain ol' just have...
