Will definitely be going here again, the hot Saki was great and the food and dishes were great. the staff is very friendly and accommodating. the 3 of went and ordered a different dish, so we could try each others, but we all had the same desert, and it was like watching art being performed, it was awesome

One of the most accessible japanese restaurant for me. I love their makis, spicy tuna and the tuna tartare salad. Both are worth the price around 12 dollars each.. But dont order miso soup. It is surprisingly small bowl with some tofu but costs you 3 dollars.. I think that. Its expensive.

We have only ordered delivery sushi from here. It is AWESOME! I think this is our 5th or 6th time ordering. Everything is so fresh and the hot dishes are HOT! (temperature wise) They are also speedy. We wait no longer than an hour. Best delivery sushi we have ever had!

The location is good, the service is awesome, and the food is great. A lot of different dishes, not only sushi, everything tastes good, great flavor. The teppanyaki menu is OK, but the guy that preparing dishes should’ve shown more empathy. Quality/price? Very reasonable.

I have been here many times and have considered Samurai to be the best sushi in Costa Rica. However, they have gotten more and more popular and unfortuatly they continue to raise there prices and the portion sizes and quility have gone down. I will still go back but not as often and I will now try other places. Too... More

Too much rice in the nigiri, but the fish was good and fresh, and they have some good creative rolls with local flavors. In an area with limited sushi choices, this will satisfy your craving.

We stopped here late before heading up to our hotel and was delighted at the experience. We had several interesting rolls served and presented in a little wooden boat. Charming.
