Samurai Sam’s

This place is awesome. It’s inexpensive, short wait for food, and absolutely delicious and healthy!
Standard chicken teriyaki bowls is their claim to fame. But wait, there’s more. I get the Quinoa brown rice bowl, and add avocado. There’s perfectly cooked chicken, steamed veggies, and I get no sauce. It’s filling, it’s yummy, and it’s consistent. Punch cards avail for frequent customers.
Service is very friendly. I’m recovering from an injury and have been here a few times in the past 2 months and the staff even noticed when I didn’t bring my walker in.
I look forward to returning and trying a yakisoba bowl with shrimp or salmon. I
Also like the grilled egg rolls.
China mist tea, 1 original and 1 flavor is available, one of my restaurant favorites.

Not coming here again. Ordered dark chicken wrap and it was mostly rice. Like over a cup of rice, with a few ver thin slivers of chicken and green pepper pieces. Not worth it.

Gross. Food was bland. Rice was over cooked. Vegetables soggy and to top it all off I found a hair in my bowl

Big fan. Quality food.

Love the food and love the service. I recommend the Quinoa Teriyaki Chicken. So good! This is the only location I have found it at. Please try and you will enjoy.

Everytime I come In this place I get greeted by the same people, that’s a nice thing and means the workers are friendly And love their job, the food is always great and never had a bad experience. You must try the Yaki soba bowl, it is my favorite!

I am dropping my rating from five stars to two since the last three times I ate here, the white rice was severely overcooked. This last time, half of the bowl was complete mush and very hard to finish. I probably would have said something had I dined in, but since I took the food home, I didn’t really feel like calling in a complaint. I think this franchise is already in trouble due to it never being busy, so repeated fails like this are inexcusable. I will probably start going to Yogi’s Grill from now on (unless the owner of Sam’s wants to contact me and assure me the food quality is back on par).

The is food good and they have fast service. The staff is always friendly to all the customers. Dinning in is always an option for us since it is clean place and well kept.
They have good prices especially if you are in their texting program you get even better deals on a regular basis.

This place is decent however lacks cleanliness which is concern for me when I want to dine in. Food is good I had their teriyaki rice bowl and their ultimate meat bowl which was also pretty good. I think Yogis on Camelback j’s the best rice bowl place in the valley though.

This place is disgusting .went here starving and left starving ! Couldn’t bare to eat food that looked unappetizing, we got the teriyaki bowls. Veggies were soggy and looked microwaved, they were a dull color, kinda rubbery too. Meat looked like thawed frozen chicken (not fresh) rice was drenched in sauce. Place was dingy inside, not very clean. I don’t expect much from fast food places but when your starving and STILL can’t bring yourself to eat the food that’s a bad sign (usually everything looks and taste better !) just gross all the way around. If you want a yummy chicken bowl go to Yogis ! They r delish and fresh !! ;)

I went here for lunch with the coworker. I would prefer this over Panda Express any day. Got the teriyaki chicken bowl with the fried rice with white meat. It was pretty good. The chicken actually taste like real chicken and not all mushy like Panda Express

Restaurant seems kinda dingey inside, and some of the surfaces did not look like they had been cleaned in a long, long time. Samurai Sam’s, I wanted to love you, as I miss good Teriyaki places in Phoenix (they are everywhere in Seattle, literally 30 within 5 miles of my old house). But no such luck, the steak teriyaki is chewy and has a funky taste, and the chicken is nothing special, fairly dry, in an overly-​sweet teriyaki sauce. Nothing seemed fresh at all, and based on the speed with which it was served, I doubt it was. For what you pay, you don’t get a lot of chicken/​steak, and mostly it’s just a bowl of rice. Won’t be back– The lack of cleanliness I could accept, but subpar teriyaki for a high price I simply cannot abide.

Ok food for lunch. Smells funny in there thou.

Great place. Clean, nice employees and the prices are perfect!

My hubby likes it here for some reason. I prefer Tokyo Express for a chicken teriyaki bowl any day! Not that the bowls we got here last Saturday afternoon were bad, they just weren’t very good.

They have a special for a chicken and vegetable teriyaki bowl and a drink for 3.99 which is a steal. I always ask for no carrots because I hate those little buggers, and they never have a problem accomodating my wishes. I don’t ever crave this place, but its an ok place to grab a quick bite to eat when you don’t feel like cooking after a long day.

The restaurant was pretty clean overall. There was only one person working and he came off a little short (verbally, not physically) when he was taking our order. He almost seemed to be a little annoyed that we were taking up his time by placing an order.
The yakisoba bowl with steak was both good and bad. All of the ingredients seemed like very good quality but it was doused in teriyaki sauce. I think if we had gotten the sauce on the side we would have been very pleased. The grilled eggroll was OK. It was a little soggy but the flavor was good.

Sam is da man.
I was very impressed with the fare here. I had a bowl with noodles and chicken on my first outing, and it was awesome. Another time I came I felt way hungry, so I ordered the SUMO bowl. Whoa. The bowl is a 32 oz bowl, I could have had it all chicken though. The beef is meh. I agree with another Unilocaler that the eggrolls are subpar. They are grilled I guess? I dunno, lame. At another location they had these «carnival» cookies that were awesome. Another variety of cookies were the butterscotch. OMG. Amazin. So yes… Sam is da man.

Im a fan. Been to this location only a few times but always good. Never tried the egg rolla or crab puffs so cant comment but love love love the spicy veggie bowl. For a fast food stir fry/​teriaki place this is where id choose… well here or kyoto bowl but sams has more locations

Ok
Don’t have their «grilled» eggrolls or crabpuffs
They’re soggy and floppy and just soooooooooo gross.
Seriously. Don’t.
Their chicken bowls are pretty good though! I would prefer their spicy teriyaki sauce to be less sugary… but it was definitely edible.
