We are locals and regularly go there.The food is very good and the service is excellent but the reason for going is, of course,the Tepenyaki. Don't miss the Tempura fried Veg or the Sushi/Shashimi.For Cyprus it is very reasonable value and the wine selection is fine. Also for cyprus,as usual,the music is too loud and "tinny",Just tell them to turn... More

Excellent service and entertainment from the chef who cooks your food in front of you. We didn't really know what to order and so had sushi, tempura and a main course each, which was too much. Sushi and tempura were excellent. Main meal was nice but simple. Couldn't really fault anything. Some people say it's a bit pricey but for... More

very interesting restaurant! the chef makes your food in front of you and does a little funny performance with knifes, eggs etc. This "act" also involves guests and is very entertaining The food is great, especially tuna is very fresh! The service is great also and prices are in range with other Paphos restaurants I recommend you go and try More

We are Cypriots and we live in Larnaca. I believe that Samisen is one of the best restaurants I've ever visited in my country (and I’ve visited Samisen many - many times!). Best in price, best in quality, best in service and finally (what my kids and I love) the best show!! Bravo!! Keep on! Constantinos and Panayiota More

We had a fantastic meal and time made very special by our fabulous chef who just made the evening for us and involved everyone in his antics. Would... More
