Love this place. I usually get the hibachi shrimp and my husband gets sashimi. The salad with ginger dressing is delicious. And both soups, onion and miso, are really good. Always hard to choose. Service has always been prompt for us but we do try to go at non-peak times.

First off I was an out-of-town guest… and after Thanksgiving my family and I decided on some hibachi! Ummmm bad choice. First off, they didn’t have the actual grill where they cook in front of you. They still did offer hibachi but let me tell you, for the price they were charging wasn’t sure worth it! We asked for fried rice with each entree. (Chinese fried rice actually tasted better than their rice)! Their rice actually looked like it was left over with a mixture of brown and white rice! We had a table for 9. Every meal was coming out separately. Omg! Talk about watching some of your party eat before you!!! Smh! I asked when food would be out. Once again, everything brought out separately. My frozen Daiquiri wasn’t good. You can taste more ice than alcohol. Rarely anyone was at this restaurant and getting that drink alone, took about 15mins. Smh! Anywho back to the food! Once we got our food, food was at lukewarm temperature. Chicken was overcooked. Yum Yum sauce tasted like Bum Bum sauce! I was so disgusted in the food. But the waitress was amazing and very patient with us! This location need more help in the kitchen! Serving lukewarm food should never be an option. I will never ever visit this location again! Not worth what I paid . Make this place your last resort! Beware!!!

Our favorite place for sushi, they are great at making the rolls that we ask for with special alterations with no problems, it's quiet, and usually good

Both my girlfriend and my best friend both got food poisoning from their sushi, my gf got a rainbow roll, and my buddy got a smoky mountain. Service was okay and my food was good, ruined the double date though. Not to mention the food is mediocre at best, I ordered a new York strip hibachi and what I got was like half a steak worth of meat, fried rice with no egg and some veggies wich were mostly onions

First there is NO HIBACHI GRILL! Second the food that they cook from the back is very obviously old and reheated.. I worry this place is going to make someone sick. I ordered chicken and steak because I am allergic to shrimp. What's on my plate? Shrimp.. I know they do this as a bonus however it is dangerous to do. Finally, it is WAY overpriced.. If you're going to pay $100 for hibachi, Philly Roll and 2 kids chicken nuggets, you're better off somewhere else. I hate leaving a poor review on what appears to be a family business however we will never return here because of the misleading appearance of having a hibachi experience and further the food is extremely poor quality. Avoid

Hibachi grill is not even open! How is this restaurant even still in business?

Absolutely THE BEST sushi and hibachi place I’ve been too. It’s hard to find good quality sushi and I have only found one other place in Longview Tx if that tells you anything. HIGHLY recommend the smokey mountain roll, Vegas roll and monster roll. Also recommend the ribeye steak hibachi ?

I was only disappointed with the fact that they didn't make my food in front of us like the one in Little Rock does. I wanted my sons to have that fun experience. Otherwise the service was exceptional and the food was great.

Excellent food and very good Sushi. Much better than others in the surrounding area. Wish they would open up the hibachi back

While visiting Benton, I was recommended to try samurai. While I pulled up to the location previously occupied by a discount pharmacy I was a little skeptical of what the experience would be like. However, the interior although dimly lit (probably for ambient reasons) was very nicely modeled. I was happy to see the bar area, sushi bar area, dining room and private dining rooms off to the side. We arrived around 545 and there was only one other table occupied so I still felt a little skeptical. However, taking a look at the menu I had a very good impression due to the selection of sushi rolls, sushi and hibachi dishes. I dined with another adult and three elementary aged children. The portions were plentiful and everything with the service was seamless, from the drink orders to the timing for the soups, salad, sushi and entrées. To finish up, the sliced orange was also a refreshing and light finish. Note this isn't a true hibachi experience but most of the entrées are called hibachi. While the fried rice, steamed rice and meat/vegetable dishes were delicious, when I think of hibachi, I think of the chef cooking at the table.
