Samurai Mama - Reserva de mesa

Went for my son 's birthday with a party of five. This place is cool if you are sitting communal, otherwise tables are kind of tight. They have happy hour, but there is nothing remotely happy hour about their happy hour specials. But we went for dinner so it didn 't even matter. Food is ok. The sushi tacos are definitely the highlight. They are fresh and rice is cooked perfect and well seasoned. Should say, daughter asked for a touch of the spicy mayo on side for one of the salmon tacos and they charged us a buck fifty, which was tacky and petty. Edamame are cold, which is totally odd, but tasted okay. All other appetizers are totally stingy on portion size with the exceptions of the gyoza,...

Atmosphere was great; aged dash tofu and mama mojito were extremely delicious; but sushi tacos were VERY mid. I got uni, salmon avocado, and toro. Uni was pretty fresh but slightly bitter; salmon was very ordinary and boarderline mushy/not fresh; toro was very disappointing it was the driest toro I have had. Sushi rice was pretty good but could use a tad less vinegar. Service was pretty nice. I did not try their famous udon noodles, so this review is mostly based on sushi tacos. All in all, I would recommend here for casual Japanese food but not for their fish/sushi quality.

Really bad experience here tonight. Makes me sad. We were patrons of this place for many years. Edamame ice cold and brown. Squash freezing cold and like desert. The ramen used to be full of broth. Tonight we ordered ramen and we were served a bowl of noodles with a side of broth. Inside the bowl, the noodles and garnishes were cold. We sent our food back and left. Service always amazing here but I don’t know why they are trying to fix something that wasn’t broken. Server said “yes I think the presentation has changed.” Indeed…

Great ambiance, good food. Got the cold tempura udon. Tempura was cooked extremely well but the udon could have used a bit more flavor and texture. Needed more crunchy/flavorful garnishes to counteract the mild and smooth noodles/seaweed. Perhaps a side of chili oil and a moderate amount of tempura crumbs could have really helped!

Perfect spot for a cozy date or a rainy day. They have separate tables for 3+ groups, but usually you seat in a big common table.Great service, very attentive and fast. I find the food top-notch. One of my favorite neighborhood spots.My recos: pork gyoza, any hot udon or ramen. You can’t get it wrong.

We got the shrimp tempura udon and the chicken rice bowl. the udon did not taste hand made as advertised, seemingly over cooked and like frozen noodles made at home. The broth was good and the tempura was nice too. The chicken rice bowl was very tasty, although some rice was undercooked.

The sushi tacos are AMAZING. The quality of the food is phenomenal, and the communal table is the perfect setting. Cannot rate this place high enough. Excited to come back many times!
