Samurai Sam’s

Was not impressed at all. I had not been in years and was curious to try it out again, and I could have bought what I ordered in he freezer section of the grocery store.

I just wasted 10 minutes of my life waiting for someone to take our order!
The restaurant was completely empty. Felt like the zombie apocalypse! I heard someone cooking in the back so my sister and I decided to wait a little. Feeling like Adele we were yelling… «hello?!?»
No one ever came out. We got tired of waiting and decided to eat at Teriyaki Madness across the street.

Well that was weird.
Sat for about 10 min waiting for someone to greet us and take our order. I think they had one person working all positions cashier and cook. :(
Ended up leaving since no one came out and eating at the teriyaki place across the street.

I’m here for the first time and this place is pretty good. They sell healthy Asian food. Tasty & fast. The price is ok. Would I come back here? Yes, but not one of my favorite healthy Asain food places.

$ 9 for their «large» yakisoba bowl. Ridiculous small portions. Their large size is more like small size at other teriyaki places.

Took a friend here visiting Vegas, and she &I really liked it. I had not been here in a long time, but it was pretty clear there were new people & management taking care of things now.
We each had the steak rice bowl, and split the sesame garden toss.
Good stuff! I’ll be back I am sure!

Place was empty when I came in. I ordered the chicken breast bowl with brown rice and veggies to go. The 2 people working there were alright. Customer service was nothing special just got me In And out. Food was served quick with no problems. The bowl was good nothing special just a quick lunch.

Tiny salads, small portions. Used to give much bigger portions, not any more. Food in picture attached cost $ 23. Much larger portions if you go to Teriyaki Madness.

I’ll start out by saying I used to love this place. I haven’t been there in about 8 months or so and I remember it being just ok. My wife and I went in there today. I sat in the car with the kids. She placed my order, grabbed it and we drove home. I got the sumo bowl with white rice and all veggies. The bowl I opened at home was a sumo bowl with brown rice and carrots and broccoli. That’s it. My wife got a normal chicken bowl with cabbage. She opened hers. No cabbage. Just broccoli. I’m livid because it’s quite a ways away and I am never going back there. I never write reviews. I had to download the Unilocal app just so I can rant on how much I hate this place and I am never going back. And my word of mouth about this place is going to be horrible.

I’ve been to several Samurai Sam’s. The food is great & healthy. The greeting was kind of cold when I got to the register. When I asked for a small bowl, she responded, «We don’t have small bowls.» Uh… okay, I thought. So I looked back at the menu on the wall, found where it says ‘Regular’ and ‘Large’, so then I corrected myself and order a REGULAR-​sized bowl. LOL. My mistake.
When my order was ready, I asked for extra teriyaki sauce to which the cook explained that I would have to pay $ 0.25 exrtra. Now I’ve never been charged for extra sauce at ANY teriyaki places including the other SSs in town. One of my biggest pet peeves is being nickel-​and-​dimed. I can’t stand that. So, I don’t want to say that I won’t be back, because I’ve had better experiences at this location in the past. I may just strategically avoid this particular location for now.

I had dinner at Samurai Sams tonight and it was good. I had the Teriyaki Steak rice bowl and the meat was very good. The Vegetables were excellent and the rice also good. I will go back again.

I see other reviews on here and complaints about the back area and bathroom. This is a smaller business and if someone rides a bike to work and keeps it in the back to prevent theft that doesn’t bother me. As gas as the bathroom being out of soap, it happens… Just let someone know about it!
Food is great, prices are fair.

Disappointing…
My first time to this business. I have eaten a few times at another S. S and had a great experience but this unfortunately was not know one of them.
So walked in and they were packing up around maybe 2hrs early, I had to look online to see if they were open.
The lady who served me was nice, I explained that I had not been to this location and she went through the menu ok.
Ordered mixture of both rice and noodle bowls.
Got them home and the meats were dry and the vegetables were not cooked well.
As i walked out one of the employees was smoking at the front door! Bit of a shame

I usually write out some lengthy reviews…
Today is not that day.
The food quality, quantity and price — horrendous.
Save your money… please go elsewhere for your teriyaki.

This food was horrendous. I’m not even joking and not that you thought I was. Please save your time and do not stop here. Gummy noodles and raw veggies… ugh
I even asked for veggies well done. They better shape up or they won’t be open much longer. Just my thoughts.

I’m here at least once a week.
My normal order:
Large Chicken Bowl (white meat), extra Chicken, brown rice, and broccoli. 10oz of tasty chicken breast!!!
If I’m here 1 to 2 times per week, obviously I recommend this place. Staff has always been good. This place is not incredibly busy so you may find associates doing nothing. I don’t mind it.
Biggest perk is a discount I get because I go to the gym.
See you guys Sunday!!!

Let me tell you a true story about this location…
I needed to use the restroom before I ordered and ate. I walked down a hallway and passed kitchen supplies and a bicycle. The bathroom was a horrible mess and immediately I noticed there was no soap. One bathroom, employees and guests… no soap… hmmmm. I immediately turned around and got out of there… sickness waiting to happen.

The service is really fast here. The food smelled really good. Taco Tuesday got me 3 tacos for 3 bucks (That’s an amazing deal). They come in chicken white meat, chicken dark meat, or steak and it comes with rice. That alone was enough to fill me up for lunch.
The eating area is small but clean. I like eating outside and their seating here is really clean outside. There’s enough space for about 10 folks to hangout if your party is that large.

CLOSED?! Wow, this must have just happened because I was just there 2 weeks ago.
But, regardless, it was terrible. The service was flat out BAD — I was ignored for 5 minutes while 4 employees dicked around by the fryers.
We ordered two chicken bowls and an order of potstickers to share.
The potstickers looked like deep fried testes. We asked them to redo them when they initially served us these shriveled little balls that had melted wax paper stuck to them because they put them in the bag when it was covered in hot grease. They brought them back raw, but dripping in grease. I actually said to the girl behind the counter, «You’ve got to be kidding me.»
The rice was mushy, the teriyaki sauce was ICE cold, the chicken was dry, and the mixed vegetables were just a bunch of greasy bok choy and limp carrots.
This was a favorite place to go in San Diego and the first one we’d tried in Vegas since moving here last year.
Totally, inexcusably awful. If it really is closed, it’s good riddance.

Wow… Even with my BOGO coupon, this food was horrendous. I’m not even joking and not that you thought I was. Please save your time and do not stop here. The chicken was dry and their rice tasted like hard white pellets. The veggies were okay. They do give you extra teriyaki sauce and now I know why, so the chicken would have some sort of taste!
There might be other Samurai Sam’s locations that are good, but this specific store is a no go!
