Food was delicious and service was friendly & timely. The only thing is there was only one other table when we arrived since we were in early for dinner. A group of 4 came & they sat them right next to us. So, all 3 of the tables were sat next to each other when the dining room was empty. A little better spacing would have been appreciated. Will definitely be back tho, as the food was great.

Me and my significant other dine here at least once a month and never leave here disappointed. You will not find better sushi in Erie. If you do find yourself dining here I recommend trying any of the special rolls as they are truly amazing. The only thing I find myself wishing for at the end of the dining experience is more. Again I cannot recommend this establishment more.

1st time there. Seemed a little disorganized. Dish was well prepard but was supposed to have mussels (only had one) but had razorback clams whose shells broke; leaving very small pieces. Seemed well staffed but took some time to encounter server. Will give them another try.

Our waitress saw that it was my husband’s birthday and brought out birthday ice cream without requesting it. The service was great and our waitress was kind. The tables are close to each other but the overall atmosphere is comfortable. We chose this place to celebrate because their food is so good and one of our Erie favorites!

Made reservations online for four. When we arrived, they acted like we had not made reservations, but did seat us rather quickly after clearing a table. Food was outstanding and our waitress was very good. Thought prices were a little steep for Erie, but things are more expensive lately. The one negative is how loud it is inside of the restaurant. Definitely would return for a special occasion.

Food was delicious, as usual, at Samurai Sushi. Very happy they now have a license for wine. The only detraction was that a large party came in and the room became quite loud, too loud for my friend with hearing aids. Fortunately we were almost done and could wrap it up and head out. I had the Chirashi Sushi and it was excellent. My friend had the salmon from the hibachi and quite enjoyed it.

excellent quality of food with appropriate portions and beautiful preparation - service was badly lacking in comparison - multiple tables were sat after we were, and received meals and drinks before us - understandable if this was due to being packed, but there were more open tables inside than occupied. will order takeout in the future because the fish and food was just that good!

Our experiences here have always been great. However, we didn't see anywhere online that the Ramen Tuesday was ONLY in the winter. We showed up for Ramen and were told it's seasonal. But other than that, the food and service is always exceptional :)

The food was good, would have been much better if we all got our food at the same time. We received 2 entrees while our 3rd guest had to wait 30 min for there’s. We respectfully waited for our guest to receive there food for us to start as well. The atmosphere was really nice, but overall experience wasn’t the best.
