Samurai Japan - Vestavia Hills

The food is incredible—it's consistently better than I expect, and I always leave feeling satisfied. I often recommend the lunch special available Monday to Saturday before 3 PM, as you can find some fantastic deals. My favorite is the three rolls of sushi lunch for just $16. However, the dinner options are definitely worth it as well!

The food was excellent! I had sushi and the tempura noodle bowl, both of which were outstanding. The service was also top-notch. I highly recommend this place!

One of my new favorite restaurants! It felt like a journey to a faraway place. I couldn't be happier with the staff, who were very knowledgeable about the menu, and the food was absolutely delicious. I also loved the decor!

The food was wonderful. The best rice. The best filet mignon hibachi. The best crab rangoons, but you only get 3. The least amount I’ve ever received at any restaurant. Was kinda disappointed in that. The service was consistent, but also annoying. Employees are standing around watching you as you eat. The owner/manager is on top of his game, and I appreciate that but, I didn’t understand them just standing guard against door ways and the bar, basically. I appreciate that they care and want to provide good service. But this is a turn off to me. Yes I want my drink refilled, but I don’t want to be watched constantly every bite I take. The atmosphere isn’t as clean, organized, or updated enough. It could use some work. The price was high. The food was great. Am I going to come back here regularly? Im not sure. Because I can pay less somewhere else, get great food, have a prettier atmosphere, and not be hovered over. The only reason I would come back is for the quality of the food.

Friendly service and food was great. Ordered sashimi and it came out in a decorative boat. Was not expecting that, especially on a Tuesday evening. Fatty tuna and yellowtail where really good. Tried a roll called Red Diamond Roll and the combo of mango, avocado and pepper tuna was delicious.
