Some of the BEST sushi I have ever eaten. The service is always excellent and they have great happy hour deals. My favorite is the Sexy Salmon Roku. No rice so it's low in carbs and absolutely delicious � �
Quality is outstanding! We have tried others, Samurai Sushi is the best in the area. Awesome Happy Hour BOGO 1/2 off, Mon - Thurs.!
Always good quality and absolutely the best sushi in the area
Food was excellent. Staff was professional and friendly. What's not to like. I'll be back!
This place has lots of great rolls and weekday discounts!
Delicious! I am from Ohio and will definitely come back here for dinner when I visit again.
My favorite local spot. Best sushi, friendly staff, great atmosphere.
If you want sushi in MV this is a great choice! Friendly staff, great sushi, and fun atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend! You get a warm welcome and goodbye when walking in and out. The fish on these rolls is amazing! Highly recommend grabbing the jalapeno poppers as well. Food doesn't take too long to come out either.
One of my favorite go to spots! The owners are great and really takes care of their customers. Sushi is as fresh and the rolls are great. They also have great happy hour offerings. I highly recommend this sushi spot in Mission Viejo
Overall the food wasn't super impressive from other sushi bars I've been to, but the service and the chef Brian was great. Ordered a few sushi rolls and beer. Not a bad spot to stop by.
The best edamame with garlic in town! I like Dynamite sushi very much.
A small spot to eat good sushi or other Japanese dishes. Kids were very happy with the selection, too. Some of our friends who don't eat sushi ordered dishes with cooked fish or a seaweed salad and they were also very pleased. Some of the portions are huge. You might want to ask the server about the dishes you are not familiar with. Everyone was very friendly.
Food is great and prices are reasonable. Most importantly, staff is super super nice. They are always smiling, thoughtful, and they treat you like family.
The spot was kicking. Everything was awesome including the staff. Really nice customer service skills and nice atmosphere. I enjoyed this place. Check it out. Props to my waiter.

We've gone to Samurai for years - pre-pandemic (dine-in), during the pandemic (takeout), and more recently now that restaurants are offering indoor dining again (takeout). Samurai is our go-to for fresh sashimi and delicious specialty rolls (Bingo roll is one of our favorites!).
This place has always been busy, especially with their "Buy one get one 50% off" happy hour special (Mon-Thurs). Takeout orders can take a long time - I called in my order on a Thursday around 5pm, and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes, but ended up waiting more than 30. Be ready for a wait!
Other than the wait, we love this place. If you dine-in, try sitting at the sushi bar. The sushi chefs are friendly and entertaining to chat with!
Unbelievably delicious sushi, with humongous portions too! We got six different rolls, and each one was better than the last. Great variety and absolutely delicious food.
I finally found my favorite sushi place in town. Simple and fresh. Lovely waitress Jina was very helpful and full of energy. Highly recommended!
This food was really good! We had at least 4-5 sushi rolls and everything was delectable, especially the baked muscles - They know how to make them just right. They’re very generous with their portions, even with the ginger - if you ask for more they’ll give you a VERY large serving. They also gave us a complimentary sushi roll which was nice! I highly recommend this place!
Never understand how this place isn't packed 24/7. Great deals on rolls and sake. Friendly staff, enough sushi chefs, big birthday celebrations.
This place is the best sushi restaurant I’ve ever been to. I used to live out here and never came . I’m so disappointed I missed out for years . The staff is so friendly and helpful and the chefs will accommodate any requests on a rolls . These folks are sushi genius with a knack for pure deliciousness. I will drive 2.5 hours to eat here and will bring all my family and out of town visitors here . I currently live in canyon lake and will bring my wife and kids here this weekend !!
Always a quaint sushi spot while we're near La Paz rd. Very popular as you can tell from all the fun pictures along the wall but without the long waits.
Great Happy Hour going on during the week. We enjoyed the Mission Roll.
1's time there. Very friendly and good staff. Food was real good. What u see is what I ate
I love the food and the atmosphere at this place. My favorite is the Rock and Roll! It's become a bit of a joke though when I order tempura on the side, we actually take bets on whether or not I will get it... I think it's a language barrier with one of the waitresses lol
Great Monday to Thursday buy 1 get 1 50% off Sushi rolls plus 1 beer full price, second one $1.
