| - If I could give more than 5 stars, I would ! We went to the Samurai to celebrate my adult son's birthday. It was Amazing !! I've been to other Hibachi-style Japanese restaurants in the past, but this one is THE
BEST ! From the hostesses at the welcoming station, to the server and the chef, everyone was friendly, enthusiastic and genuinely seemed to enjoy their job. They have an impressive array of Sushi. They have a nice alcoholic beverage selection - Japanese beers and wine and other exotic cocktails. I started with a Sex on the Beach (it was a celebration, after all.) There are three parts to this hibachi - the bar, the dining room and the hibachi. You can skip "the show" and eat in the dining room (I personally wouldn't miss the show - it's the best one of its kind I've ever seen.)
The chefs were entertaining and engaging - not just the usual onion-fire volcano and juggling cooking utensils. The extra touch with the Saki was cool. It was great to have a couple of children at our table. Watching their amazement made the meal even more special.
I really like the seating at this restaurant as well. At a lot of hibachi restaurants, seating is arranged in twos around the cooking area. Not so here - grills and seating are arranged in larger numbers (so if you have an odd number in your party, as we did, no one is odd-man out.)
They are very efficient, and know how to treat customers right. There was no feeling of being rushed, and server and chef were very attentive.
We started with the clear soup and salad with ginger dressing (which comes with the meal.)
I splurged and had the "Samurai Special" - filet mignon, scallops and lobster. My son and his girlfriend had scallops and salmon, and filet with scallops. They also serve noodles (lo mein style) along with rice ! It was great ! We all agreed that their yum-yum dipping sauce for seafood was the best we had ever tasted. I also had a glass of plum wine with my dinner.
Their special way of celebrating birthdays capped off our experience - they have disco balls and a recorded birthday song. They serve the birthday person a very unique serving of ice cream with a surprising topper - the server, using a lighter, touches the topper (an unfolding plastic lily, and the heat makes the flower petals open with mini candles lit for the birthday person to blow out. It also played Happy Birthday ! It was very impressive and cool ! It was one of the most awesome birthday meals we have ever had.
