Samurai Sushi is a god damn horror story. Why anyone likes that place is beyond me, but I'm really open to listening.

From the moment you walk in, you notice a sickly smell of rotten sushi permeating the air. Smells like sweat mixed with Nigiri Sushi. Eating in is not a comfortable experience with the Vietnamese ladies taking your order like they've done the same job for 40 years. If you do sit at the bar then you see the insane amount of pre-made rolls just chilling on the table.

It's even worse when you order take out. If you do decide to order takeout, make sure its something you pick up right away.

The pre-made rolls that sit there with no refrigeration is what gets me. (Even the rolls that have uncooked elements to it, like the Alaska Roll)

If you like massive portions of low-grade salmon sashimi, then by all means, go for it. Their California Roll isn't bad, very large with lots of flavor. I had their chopped scallop roll, fishly as hell...food poisoning much?

Bottom line, if you want really low quality, large portioned sushi with reasonable prices that has a chance that it might get you sick, then go for it. If you want to feed some people you don't care about, then order a party tray and be done with it. Otherwise, there are many other sushi joints in town that are of much higher quality. People that like this place haven't tried other sushi.
