I brought a date here. The owner, who had been drinking, waited until I went to the bathroom and sat down and asked my date for her number, actually had her put her number in his phone. We both thought it was - strange decision! It was super awkward.

The kids had an absolute BLAST having the hibachi! Some of the best shrimp I've ever had as well! Top notch service and food and can't wait to go back!

We have been here a lot of times and have ordered take out. You know what to expect when you go there on a certain night. We have sat at the bar and have sat at the tables. The food is always what you would expect from a Japanese Chinese restaurant. My wife was very upset that they took off the Samba Seafood Pancakes. We will always keep this place as a regular spot to go.

We went there for hibachi with our kids midday on a Sat. Only 2 groups there so it wasn't busy. Waitresses were rude, rushed us and there were 4 different ones, all the same attitude. The hibachi chef was nice and food was really good. We added side dishes to our meals and were told one price and it ended up being more on the bill. They also charged us $10 for 2 cups of tea which is ridiculous. Felt the need to write the review based on the service, otherwise would consider going there again.

We returned to the "sit down" side of Samba after quite a hiatus. Our memory was that the food was quite good from the kitchen, and we were not disappointed. This non-Hibatchi seating is limited, so a reservation is definitely recommended. The place is on the louder side, but tolerable, with the dining area near the bar, music playing, and of course the hibatchi tables well within ear-shot. Overall, very good food.

Me and my friend went to have drinks. We were charged over 400 dollars when we only bought 200 dollars worth of drinks. They charged both cards double the amount we even purchased. This is not okay, people stay away this place is shady

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality from Ariella, one of the frequent hosts. The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and vibrant, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. We opted for the hibachi experience, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Our chef was not only incredibly skilled at his craft but also entertained us with impressive culinary theatrics throughout the meal. It was an interactive dining experience that left us mesmerized and thoroughly entertained. Now, onto the food - it was simply divine! The sushi was fresh and expertly prepared, with each bite bursting with flavor. The hibachi dishes were cooked to perfection, with the highest quality ingredients and exquisite attention to detail. Whether it was the succulent steak, tender chicken, or flavorful seafood, every dish exceeded our expectations. What truly set Samba was the outstanding service. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable dining experience. The entire staff worked seamlessly together to provide top-notch service, making us feel like valued guests from start to finish. Sambis a hidden gem that deserves all the praise and recognition it receives. Whether you're craving sushi, hibachi, or both, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you coming back for more. I can't recommend it highly enough - five stars all the way!
