Terrible customer service and rude treatment from the owner! Food is mediocre at best. Save your money!

Please do not select this restaurant based on the menu posted on Trip Advisor....we did and we're disappointed as we'd "pre-selected" what we wanted. The staff swear they've tried to delete it with no luck. Regardless, the food was ok, nothing special but ok. Tempura...veggies we're overcooked......More

My fiance and I were eating at another local sushi place, but decided to try other places. We ended up loving Samurai Sushi much better! The atmosphere is so comfortable, service is good, and the food is delicious! The way they serve the food is...decorative as well. It is a little more pricey than the other sushi place, but I can see why.More

They have good sushi from authentic to new spins off the traditional. They've been in business in Turlock Ca. for 16 years. It is a all around grate place to spend your money for excellent food. I don't eat sushi anywhere else since discovering This...Sushi Gem in Turlock. The previous review posted was by a friend pulling a prank on me. Sorry for the misinformation.More

The restaurant itself is small with maybe 8 tables in all not including the five seat sushi bar. It is a family owned and operated business, and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. I have been going to this restaurant for many years and...always feel welcomed as do my wife and children. The menu is large with combo options, the standard Bento-Box array, and two pages of rolls for your choosing. My particular favorite is the spicy chirashi which is an assorment of sashimi sprinkled over lettuce on a bet of rice and topped with a couple of spicy yet flavorful sauces. I have been to all of the sushi places in Turlock and Modesto and many of them are outstanding as well, but Samurai will always get my vote because of the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere each time you go in. Try it, you will not be disappointed.More

This is another "Mom and Pop" in Turlock that serves great sushi and excellent combo dishes. The service is great, the food is always fresh and the prices are moderate.

Good food, but not the best in town,also the most expensive sushi in town. For the money I'd rather go to Sushi Cuisine instead.

I saw really good reviews for this Restaurant and decided to go. Nothing like that. Food quality was poor. Service was marginal at best. I had to ask for everything, even the obvious things. I was brought soup with no soup spoon, When I asked...for a spoon, I was handed a dirty old steel spoon. Yes, I know Japanese soup can be had directly from the cup, but I am not in Japan and that still does not justify the dirty steel spoon. I had to ask for everything... a spoon, chop sticks, a drink refill, napkins. Food was brought in the worng order. Also, the wasabi must have been mixed up with something else, because it had NO TASTE AT ALL. I go to a lot of Japanese restaurants. The decor is nice. There seem to be a lot of authentic Japanese items on display, but the server knew absolutely nothing about any of it. Avoid ths one.More

I've tried every sushi place in Turlock, and this is by far the best. The fish is always fresh, and the owners and staff are very friendly. The rolls are hand-made by true sushi masters and never disappoint. I've taken friends from the bay area...there who are accustom to the high-end authentic sushi available there, and even they were impressed. You're not going to find better sushi anywhere in the valley.More

Samurai Sushi is the best sushi restaurant in the valley. The food, service, and overall atmosphere are zero to none when it comes to sushi restaurants. With over 100 rolls on the menu, it's hard not to find something that you will like. Each sushi...roll has its own special taste, and the diversity is what makes this restaurant unique. If you're not the type of person that loves sushi, then there are many other affordable options that you can partake in. Some of these selections include Chicken and Beef Bowls, Chicken Katsu, Chicken and Beef Teriyaki, and Udon. Like I said, each of these selections are superb. The sushi in the restaurant does not necessarily have to be expensive either. For example, my favorite meal consists of a Chicken Bowl and a Spicy California Roll. While getting a lot of food, this meal is very inexpensive. The service is great, and each of the waiters do a really good job at keeping their customers happy. You can't replace the kindness of the owners, Jin San and Moon. These two people know almost everyone that walks in their doors, and many of the customers have personal relationships with them. Samurai Sushi is a great restaurant ran by great people! EAT AT SAMURAI SUSHI!More
