Samurai Japanese BBQ and Grill

First class experience all the way around. Service from Uta went above and beyond. This is the real deal. I MUST return.

Service was great Meat selection was great Dessert was delicious We reserved the private area, and it was great Prices were okay, and I don't think I would come back here because there are so many BBQ places around here with better pricing and selections.

This may be a very unpopular opinion but I just thought it was okay-Service was excellent-Quality of meat was pretty good, but I wasn't wowed like I have been at other Japanese and/or Korean bbq spots and the sides were just okay to me as well.-I loved that they labeled the meats though! I found that to be very helpful lol.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas back when it first opened as I was amazed by the quality of the meat and loved the meat boat presentation. However over the years I've noticed the quality of the meat has gone down while the prices have gone up. Also not a huge fan of their reservation system, you can't make same day reservations. I tried to go as a walk-in and arrived 15min before lunch, they only let the first party in and refused to seat anyone else even though the place was empty. The employee checking people in was also pretty rude.

Samurai BBQ was one of the best yakiniku experiences I've had. It was great getting the sampler as we got to try some cuts we haven't had before. The culotte, short rib, thick cut beef tongue, rib finger, and hanger strip were the best. I don't recommend getting the uni bibimbap because the uni gets overcooked and the flavor basically disappears. I absolutely recommend getting the liver sashimi and slightly searing it for more texture and flavor. The service was fantastic on top of it all.

Really good! Always maintains fresh ingredients so you could never go wrong. Cooking food this way always tastes good when the ingredients are good . Their Yakiniku-don is really tasty as well, be sure to order when it's available. The restaurant is small and cozy. The service is nice and friendly. Will come back anytime! Will need reservations on weekends, I believe.

It was a doubnightte night and our original plans fell through. I had this on mu lost of spots to try so gsve them a call, but just got a recording saying they do reservations only online. Went online and it said they dont do them after a certain time lol so we just chanced it and drove there as we were 5 min away. I popped in amd they just Happened to have one table available for us. It was a much smaller whole in the wall joint than I expected and While their ac was working...it was still a bit warm with how small it was and all the burners going at tables. I was down to try it though and starving at this point. We got their highest tier meat platter for 4. They have us an option to switch out the tongue, and if I realized how thick cut it was I probably would have. It just ended up a bit chewy. I think about half the cuts in there really were like wow this is awesome. We also got an extra order of the a5 wagyu to try as well and that was amazing. They had two dips ththat were a bit different than I have had before. I enjoyed both of them. The guys have a thing for sesame oil and salt and they accomidated them as well.A highlight for me was their spicy tofu. Super custardy and the topping was so flavorful. We also got the garlic fried rice that was maybe more exciting to look at the execution of it rather than the taste being mindblowing. We also got several kimchi sides as well and those were nice, pretty standard. I appreciated their non alcoholic drink options. I got a peach tea that was delightful. Not to sweet and didn't taste artificial. The others shared a bottle of sake which was pretty pricey. It was a slightly larger bottle though, but their bottles seemed to run higher than other spots. The dessert was a creme brule parfait. Its lighter than it looks, and honestly I could have had one to myself because of it. Overall it was a nice new experience. I had some special items I really enjoyed, but not sure if was 100 percent the hype I was prepared for.

Great quality beef and super nice staff!I had made a reservation after reading that the place could get packed due to its small and cozy size so no problem getting seated immediately. The place stayed about half full until later in the night so make a reservation if you can but I think walk-in would be fine as well. Food - - our party of three ordered the 8 Kinds Premium Cuts for 3 plus some add-ons such as beef tartare, pumpkin, and Miyazaki Wagyu A5 sirloin and rib-cap. - premium cuts were a great way to sample all the different cuts and find your favorite. Everyone has their own preference but I love the beef tongue and rib finger most. 5/5- beef tartare - this was my first time having it Japanese style. It was ok/good but not my favorite way for tartare. 3.5/5- Miyazaki Wagyu A5 sirloin and rib-cap - the staff take so much care in prepping this. Since we had the premium cuts too, they came to tell us that our wagyu A5 cuts were prepped but would stay cooked in the fridge to preserve the integrity of it while we ate the rest of our food. When we were ready, they changed our grill to make sure we get the full experience. And of course, when they brought out the cuts, it comes with a certificate. Really enjoyed their pride in their food and attention to detail. Overall, I had an amazing experience here. The food was great and the staff were so nice and caring, always checking on us and making sure to give us recommendations.

Tucked away in a plaza on Decatur, this place's outer image and what they offer are polar opposites; I'm glad we found this place and gave it a try. Honestly, I was expecting a spacious place with a grand entrance and bright lights when I saw the food photos on Yelp and Google, but instead they had a very humble sign out front and a quaint little space inside. When we checked for reservations, there were none available so we bravely decided to do a walk-in and hope for the best! HAHHA Luckily, there was no wait and we got seated right away. The wait staff were very friendly and very attentive. We were waiting on a friend so we got started with a couple drinks. Mint beer* it's weirdly addicting but very sweet-- I don't see myself ordering more than two glasses MAX; nonetheless delicious! We ordered the beef combo for 3 and decided to order some a la carte items to share. The quality of the meat was excellent! It's been some time since we've had outstanding quality meat ... or it's been a challenge to find a place with exceptional quality since many places are more quantity than quality near us (AYCE). At first glance, I was not impressed with the quantity or so I thought but to my surprise I was very full by the end of the meal and everyone at the table agreed that it was enough food. The garlic friend rice was a great addition to the meal and I highly recommend to have some balance of carbs incorporated into the high protein meal. We also tried the cold noodles and I give a thumbs up, some of you may know, I am a cold noodle devotee and can be very critical of the dish, and they were solid! It was great palate cleanser after the barbeque. Undeniably, I'll be back.

Great service and the meats are good quality. The place is relatively small so tables are limited. Recommended to make reservations before coming.
