My experience at Samurai Japan was the best dining experience I have had in Alabama! The sushi was so delicious and fresh, and the hibachi dinner was fantastic! This is definitely a place all can enjoy. Samurai Japan is my new go-to restaurant! I highly recommend their jalapeno yellowtail appetizer, and their chef sushi rolls! The servers were all very kind as well! Fantastic!

For years Samurai has always been a comfortable, consistent, and great place to eat. Often I dine alone and get lunch here and I always feel welcomed. I suggest getting the clear soup with your meal!

My three stars are for the sushi and veggies only. The service was not good. The two female waitresses had an attitude and were very impatient while we reviewed the menu from our phones. The rice that came with my hibachi lunch was a mix of cook and uncooked grains. The uncooked pieces got stuck in my tooth and were too hard to chew making the rice portion of my meal inedible. The sushi was fantastic and I would definitely go back for that. The vegetables were nice but I found a piece of metal in the sauce next to them. The tofu was fried silken tofu and it was horrible. Needless to say I would only go back for the sushi part. I also mentioned the uncooked rice and the metal to the waitress and she just nodded her head, took the plates full of food and walked away. She came back with the check like she did not care about the complaint. Good luck if you decide to go.

These people are our family! Especially sweet Sarah who is absolutely our friend and sincerely the best owner/manager/server there is, in birmingham or anywhere we have ever been!!! The consistency of the food quality is second to none and they never disappoint us! But even if they ever have an off day in the future we will always come back! They are wonderful and we love them!!

Once again, we had a great meal. One thing I love about Samurai Japan is that it is very consistent. They have a whole new menu with I think all the same favorites, but it looked like there may be some new dishes as well. Of course, like everything else, the prices have gone up some, but it is still a good value. I think it’s some of the best sushi in Birmingham!

Jai M

My husband and I love this place. Sushi is always good love the Hawaiian roll, the pink lady and the rainbow roll! Even the standard rolls are better than most we’ve had else where. I see why they stay busy! It’s worth the wait and the staff are very kind and helpful! I will sometimes bring my friends there on weekday nights just always had a good experience!
