About this restaurant

Romantic
Great for outdoor dining
Innovative

At Samurai Mama, Our udon soup is carefully prepared during a two-day process. The broth consists of an elaborate and balanced blend of konbu seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, flying fish, saba mackerel, katsuo bonito and maguro tuna, all of which are imported from Japan. Our udon noodles are freshly made in-house. In Japan, the preparation of udon varies from region to region, which results in distinct broth flavors and noodle textures, as well as the way the soup is put together and eaten. With this in mind, we are dedicated to creating udon that is unique and characteristic of where we are; to be enjoyed only here in Brooklyn. Since the texture of udon noodles is defined by the balance of protein and starch in the flour, we have thoughtfully sourced our original house blend from a mill in California. We use only freshly made and cut udon every day. We invite you to take a sip of the broth, taste the delicate flavors, and savor the aromas of the ocean.

Service was atrocious. Took 20 minutes from us being seated for anyone to come take appetizer orders, or even give us water. Then it was another 30 minutes to receive our food, with no check-ins during that time (we needed refills and drink orders). Food was fine, but I do not recommend based on the service.

The sushi taco set is delicious and a great appetizer for a table! The gyoza are some of the best I've ever had-- and all of the udon is delicious. Service here is always outstanding and very welcoming.

Samurai mama is such a Williamsburg classic and staple. Was reminiscing last night about the first time I came almost a decade ago. Still going strong! And just as delicious and chill vibes as ever.
