Samurai Hibachi Sushi Japanese Steakhouse 616 Shrewsbury Commons Avenue, Shrewsbury, PA 17361

"Our chef was friendly and very funny. Food was delicious"

"TLDR: Excellent hibachi and sushi right off I-83. Come for lunch to take advantage of their affordable lunch specials. Vibe: 4/5. Located right off I-83 in Shrewsbury, Samurai conveniently sits in the center of a large strip mall with ample parking. Inside, the restaurant is larger than one may suspect. In the front, there is a small sushi bar as well as non-hibachi table seating if you don't have time for the show. As you head towards the back of the restaurant, there are several hibachi tables situated in 2 adjacent rooms. Each table holds approximately 10-12 people, with everyone sitting in a U shape surrounding the grill. This allows everyone to have a front row seat to the show. The entire restaurant seems to be well maintained and very clean which is always a perk when shrimp are flying around the dining room. Service: 5/5. The staff at Samurai have always been great at providing a memorable experience. I have dined several times as well as ordered take out and they have always been friendly, professional and punctual. The hibachi chefs are also very talented, with the shows being very well choreographed and funny. Food: 5/5. Easily some of the best eats in Shrewsbury, PA. As mentioned, I have dined in for the hibachi as well as gotten sushi to go and everything has always been very tasty and generous in portion size. Budget hack: come for lunch during the weekdays and Saturday from 11-3pm. Samurai has a significantly reduced price menu for sushi and hibachi during these times, but offering the same portion sizes. This is easily the best deal in town if you are looking for Japanese food in Southern PA. As for the quality, both the sushi and hibachi are fantastic. Sushi rolls are always made fresh with generous amounts of fish, especially in the basic maki rolls (tuna, yellowtail and white tuna rolls). The hibachi is also extremely satisfying, with fan favorites being the diver scallops and the filet mignon (both available at lunch for less than $20). Overall, I highly recommend Samurai for your sushi and hibachi fix if in the area!"

"Always enjoy eating here. Never had a bad experience. Sometimes if I come at the right time, I'll get a couple sushi pieces for free to try out. The hibachi experience is also fun for the family or date night. Worth the money I spend here."

"For years I went here for my birthday dinner! I love watching them cook in front of me. This is a family friendly place too! My best experiences were with my friends and family because we were all laughing and having a good time. Here, you get to experience fire, top-tier skills from the cooks, pieces of food flung into your mouth and a visit from the peepee man, as seen in the video I posted with this. Anytime I have this place on my calendar I have something to look forward to! The cooks are very nice, funny and entertaining, again, be prepared to laugh! It's definitely a great place for a nice size party, make sure to make reservations so you get the time frame you want. So far, all I've seen are happy faces greeting me as I come and go and it feels like they all want to be there and enjoy their job! *If you're 21 and over, be prepared for Saké!!!*"

"I have no idea how this place has the rating it currently does (close to five stars). I ordered pickup over the phone. The person who took the order spoke quickly and demandingly. The order was ready exceptionally quickly (which I guess is a positive) but the whole thing was bland. Had the chirashi, hibachi chicken, and shrimp fried rice. On top of the general lack of flavor we found two hairs in our food. Shrewsbury, you deserve better than this."
