Samurai Sam’s

For the rice bowls, they only give five pieces of chicken and three little pieces of broccoli with a shit load of rice. Not to mention I asked for brown rice for my to go order & they gave me white. This place is not worth trying. Teriyaki madness on Durango is way better!

You can’t complain of you don’t get the best.
However for $ 5.00 you get a bowl of chicken rice and vegetables.
I wish we could review others reviews. Some people just take themselves too serious.

I love this place. The food is what it’s supposed to be, teriyaki chicken, steak or veggies. The large chicken bowl is $ 5. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, if you’re nearby and want teriyaki this place is great

We got there at 830 and they didn’t want to cook anything because they were «almost closed»
Obnoxious. I ordered smoothie and they «didn’t have enough people «event though there were five people there.
They didn’t want to wash their machine again.
Rude don’t go here

The food was okay. I had a combination teri chix and beef bowl with rice. It was nothing I’d make a special trip for. The menu at this location is kind of confusing. The menu looks like there’s so many options but they are essentially just variations of the same offerings. I’d much prefer eating at Fuwa Grill. It’s in the same area except it’s inside of the mall. Less convenient but worth it for me.

So, I’ve ate here a few times since it’s around the corner from work. Food is good, I usually get the chicken breast Yakisoba bowl. It’s pretty tasty. The food is cheap and fast, and portion size is decent. But something here ALWAYS upsets my stomach. Not sure what it is, but this place may have you running to the bathroom after lunch!

I can’t honestly understand why Teriyaki Madness seems to be more popular than this place. Samurai Sam’s is cheaper, faster, and tastes better. They’re priced reasonably even with the extra charges ($.25 here and there for white meat chicken instead of dark, brown rice instead of white, etc). If you like TM, you will probably like SS; and I would like to hope you’ll like it better.
The staff is above average. They great you politely, take your order, and that’s about it; professional and minimal conversation is a nice plus for an introverted soul such as myself who doesn’t need customer service chit-​chat with every transaction I make. I keep it simple every time: large white meat chicken teriyaki bowl with brown rice and a little bit of both sauces (spicy and regular) has yet to disappoint in any way. For about $ 8 for a full meal with drink and grilled egg roll you’ll leave satisfied.

Great people that work here. The always try there best and the take extra care of me lol because I’m a regular. We small business stick together and help each other out. Food was great today :)

This was my first visit here. When I walked in I was confused by the décor. At first is looks like a chain with cute wall paper and great marketing. After closer look there are paper signs taped up everywhere. Including a copy of Kcups that they proudly announce they now serve. The food was delicious! Ordered the Steak and veggie bowl. Steak was very tender and the sauce was yummy and not over salted. The staff was okay. Not rude but not very friendly either. One of the guys behind the counter had a sleeveless tshirt on. GROSS! They were closing early for floor maintenance and although they did not ask us to leave the mopping and loudly banding chairs and tables drove us out again. We will stop again but most likely get it to go.

Great and fast Asian bowls. I got spicy beef and broccoli. It’s spicy and the steak is REAL! A must try. Far better than Panda Express!

I eat here about 3 days a week for lunch. The staff is friendly. The food is healthy, delicious and most important, IT IS CONSISTENT. The prices are reasonable. AND they have free WIFI, so I can pull out my laptop & hang out for an hour and get some uninterrupted work done.
A few recommendations…
— The large bowl is only $ 5. (it comes with rice AND veggies)
— Go for double meat. It’s not much more and it lowers your carb-​to-​protein ratio.
— Brown rice is worth a few extra cents.
— Upgrade to a combo which gets you a drink & a side. I get the crab puffs. YUMMY!
— If you get all veggies and no rice, they tack on several dollars. I think they over charge for this. Just my humble opinion. ;)

So, the food was fresh and fast. The service was great, the woman working was very polite. That said, the sauce had spice to it. Like I mean HEAT! I love Teriyaki but have never had it spiced for me. Traditionally, it is suppose to be a glaze made with soy and sugar?! Too hot, nothing worse than someone making the «too spicy» decision for you. That’s the whole reason for offering packets of Siracha?! Likely not to return.

Food is ok here but the spicy is way too spicy for my taste. I usually really like spicy stuff but this made my mouth fire up. I do think that the chicken and beef items are really good here and the sauce isn’t too sweet. I’m also not a big fan of veggies but they taste good here because they are very soft.
This place is good for a quick stop and it’s always filling. Just be careful with the spicy sauce!

The Asian clown behind the counter is a condescending a-​hole. The dude has a bad attitude and seems like he not only hates his job but hates life itself. Everything he says is forced. Perhaps he shouldn’t take his anger issues out on paying customers. He also made it a point to give customers their orders first who clearly ordered after me. Dude mad dogging everybody just isn’t good for business.

I just want to say thank you to the young man working today. I work in the mall and had an employee call out so I was unable to pick up my lunch. Not only did this young man take my phone order but he brought it over to me free of charge and was so nice and quick, thank you for your great food and service !!! I will be back soon it was great

I suffered from Unilocaler’s remorse on this visit, rule #1 look it up on Unilocal and read the damn reviews first.
I was out and about looking for a lite bite for lunch and came across this joint. I said to myself, ok well they have a chicken bowl advertised on an outside banner so I am sure they have vegetable bowls as well.
I mean seriously how can you screw up on a bowl of rice and veggies? Well they proved my theory wrong!
I ordered a veggie bowl with brown rice. I paid my $ 5 (small bowl) and took it to go to later unwrap a bowl of soggy and wilted broccoli all (2) tiny pieces and cucumber slices galore. The brown rice was ok what there was of it. The teriyaki sauce was ok that was lightly glazed covering the veggies.
I was disappointed to say the least, they should rename it the «2 pieces of broccoli and cucumber slices wilted to perfection bowl».
SS, you bent me over for my $ 5 this time, but I will stand tall and pull my panties up and walk away and forget you exist.
Not the happy ending I was looking for :(

I don’t know why there are so many bad reviews, the food was great! I love the spicy chicken yaki soba bowl! And the woman the woman who took my order, Marivic was absolutely amazing! She was very sweet and made sure everyone’s order was up to their standards!

I went in there one evening and was at the register ordering my food. Once my order was taken the lady brought the money to the cook he counted it and stuffed it in his pants. After that he never change his gloves and continued to cook people’s food. I asked the register lady to have him change his gloves and she dismissed me like a child. So then I took it upon myself to tell him to change his gloves after handling money. He got all pissy and slowly changed them after was told twice. Gross! Food is good but the service sucks at this location!

This place didn’t quite, cut it. Get it, Samurai swords and they cut stuff… and…um, oh boy.
Anyway, this place was option three on my quest to get some type of Teriyaki food in my belly. Sadly, the first two places were jam packed and this third option was on the way to some of my errands. First red flag, the place is empty on a Saturday afternoon during snacking time and they’re right next door to a major shopping area. Second red flag, three stars on Unilocal.«Hmmm, let’s eat», my stomach took over my brain at this point and the next thing I know I was at the counter ordering.
«I’ll have the Spicy Steak and Broccoli Bowl w/​an egg roll.» What seemed like three seconds later, «order up!» and boom my plate had arrived. This dish visually was not super appealing and did not even come close to the picture on the menu; it also looked very dark and almost burnt. That old saying looks can be deceiving, well in this case they weren’t, the steak was over-​cooked and the rice tasted like it had been sitting for awhile. This dish got better once I smothered it in Sriracha and some extra teriyaki sauce. The broccoli was actually cooked well and tasted fresh, which besides the extra sauces, is what probably saved this dish.
The egg rolls here are very interesting. Normally egg rolls are filled with veggies or meat or both and fried. Theses were stuffed, fried and then toasted? I’m not sure if they did this to heat them up or keep them crispy, but they just came out burnt and tasting bitter. The Samurai food gods would be displeased with such disrespect for the egg roll.
This was almost a two star rating, but this place is very clean and the customer service here is quick and helpful. I might give another location a second chance.

This place is ok for lunch. You can get a «large» chicken teriyaki bowl for about 5 bucks and some change. 50 cent extra for white meat and 25 cents extra for brown rice. The bowls come with chicken and mixed vegetables on a bed of rice. Everything looks like it’s steamed with a little bit of teriyaki sauce on top. The large bowl was a joke, came out not even completely full and there wasn’t much meat, but hey it was only 5 bucks. The food was decent overall but I was hungry again in about 3 hrs before I even got off work. I would only come here again if I needed a light snack and not an actual lunch.
