SAMURAI'S CUISINE REVIEWS

Really neat place! You can choose to dine in or eat at the Hibachi Grill, which is what we choose to do. Super awesome experience if you've not been to one before. My favorite was the fried rice. I don't think I've ever had fresh fried rice before, just regular. And they give you spoon much food! They just automatically bring to go boxes out for everyone. I could make 3 meals out of what I had left over.

Had a great experience here this evening. The whole family was craving sushi and our normal place was closed. Popped in here on a Monday night and enjoyed a wide variety of appetizers and a few sushi rolls. Our server claimed it was his 1st night serving and he normally works in the kitchen.. I thought it did an amazing job and and would have had no idea it was this 1st night. Good stuff great service.

Samurai’s Cuisine never disappoints! The food is consistently cooked to perfection, and the entertaining show makes the dining experience even better. The kids are always engaged, which makes it so much more enjoyable for everyone. If you've never tried Yum Yum sauce, be sure to add it to your bucket list—it's a must! Highly recommend this spot for a fun and delicious night out.

KOJI EXPRESS JAPANESE GRILL MEMORIAL REVIEWS

Returned a lost item to Jordan, and decided to grab some food. Was suggested the chicken and steak and it was absolutely amazing. Was given sriracha and it was absolutely nostalgic! The restaurant was clean, everything was well maintained, and the staff were very friendly. I highly suggest Koji, and it’s good/ good friendly service. It is good to be back in-town as well.

JoJo Express is a hidden gem in Murfreesboro. This was our first time here, but it won't be our last. The service was great, the food was excellent, and the prices are pretty decent by modern standards. The carrots and other veggies were amazing! The teriyaki beef was tender and delicious. I left satisfied and happy (but not broke). 10/10 would eat there again.

Koji is always super convient, fast, and delicious. Large amount of food always served and at a decent price. Everything is always consistent EVERY TIME. I've never had a bad experience :) Ordered the chicken hibachi with mushrooms and carrots and the other chicken hibachi with broccoli and carrots.

BROTHERS RAMEN REVIEWS

RAMEN!!!! OMG it was soooooo good!!!! I don't normally like Ramen but when I tell you I ate the whole bowl, you have to know it was delicious. Our server Christain was excellent!! He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, history, and future of the restaurant. If you are in the mood for Ramen, PLEASE GO TO BROTHER'S RAMEN!!! They did not disappoint. We will definitely be putting this spot in our restaurant rotation. Thanks for such a lovely meal.

Absolutely phenomenal little hole-in-the-wall ramen shop. We go almost every special occasion, and the staff is always very welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu. We usually have the same waiter, and he’s wonderful. Always letting us know about upcoming menu items and menu details. No other ramen shop in town quite like it.

My son and I swung through here on a road trip across country. We both enjoyed the food and atmosphere very much. Each of us had a bowl of ramen that we very much enjoyed. Service was very good. We were sat immediately and had a fun conversation with our server. Overall, a very good experience.
