| - I was really impressed with our first visit to this Samurai Sam's.
We came here on a Wednesday night and were originally going to go to Panda Express next door, but it was packed to the gills and we were on somewhat of a schedule. Samurai Sam's was near empty, but we were greeted promptly by the young kid who was working. Initially, we were going to order just two teriyaki bowls and two drinks, but the nice kid working there told us of the special they had going on; 2 teriyaki bowls, 2 side salads, and 2 regular drinks for $10.99. In my opinion this was a slammin' deal because just the two teriyaki bowls by themselves would have been around $14 after tax. I was really grateful, because all in all, he saved us a relatively large amount of money considering what we were getting- plus we got two side salads!
Anyhow, the food came out in maybe five minutes which was nice. They have a variety of condiment packets (both regular and low sodium soy sauce, which was a plus), spicy mustard, and even sweet and sour, which was nice as well. The salads were fresh and served with sides of a sesame-style dressing which was lite and good. The teriyaki chicken was similar to that of any other teriyaki place. It wasn't charred nor was it unbearably chewy. The veggies served with the bowl were okay. The mix was mostly composed of steamed zucchini, which is probably why I didn't really care for it. I would prefer if it had more cabbage or broccoli, but honestly it wasn't that big of a deal. The rice was good as well. It was typical of what you would find at other teriyaki places. I would most definitely return, especially because of the customer service. The young kid, I think his name was Kobi from the receipt, was really nice, saved us some money, and was professional.
