Samurai 5317 Bissonnet Street, Bellaire, TX 77401

"We do we here on a busy Saturday night. Despite having reservations, we still had to wait 20 minutes past our time slot to be seated. The chef himself was wonderful, entertaining and prepared delicious food. Unfortunately, the noise level was quite high, so I couldn’t talk with anyone sitting more than 2 seats away from me without shouting. Unfortunately, our plates were not cleared after each course, so at one point, we had no room left on the table for the actual hibachi meal. We ended up stacking our own plates and placed them on the floor. I would only return on a non-busy weekday night."

"We had a great hibachi experience today. My son has an egg allergy and they were so mindful of that during food prep. They prepared the hibachi meats n veggies before the rice so there was no issues of cross contamination. The chef even skipped me during the rice throw fun because of the allergy, which I wasn't even thinking on. I hope to visit again on try the sushi and drinks. Great hostesses, waitstaff, and chefs."

"We enjoyed a tasty and uncrowded lunch at Samurai this afternoon. I believe our chef's name was Emmanuel and Kay was our server. Both were fantastic, fun, and on point. The chef used a perfect amount of butter and oil. Not too much, and not too little. The sauce was good, but not necessary to enjoy the flavor of the food."

"We went on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant wasn’t busy. We were seated immediately, the table was dirty, had to ask the waitress to clean the table. She did apologize for the table being obviously dirty and cleaned it with no problem. Three of us had the salad before my meal which was very watery like soaked with water. One person got the soup and had no complaints. I ordered the salmon and chicken. The salmon was seasoned really well but the chicken and sautéed vegetables was kind of bland. I liked our chef he was very entertaining and engaging. It was an okay experience."

"Quite pleasant experience overall. Very polite servers who were here to answer questions and bring extra sauces. My rolls: California and Philadelphia did not disappoint, and I especially recommend the Philadelphia as the salmon was quite unlike anything I have tasted previously. Nice service, nice food, would come back again. 8/10 Jaycee"
