JAPAN SAMURAI REVIEWS
First time to visit this restaurant. Absolutely delicious and entertaining. We are a family of 3, prices are abit up there, but they serve you ALOT of delish food. We brought home 3 leftover containers. Michelle was our waitress and she was very attentive, even while there was customer issue happening at the table next to us. Thanks, Michelle. We will be back.
I have went here on several occasions and have never been dissatisfied, or disappointed. Staff is amazing, large portions and a great price! Will continue to come here for sushi to hibachi and everything in between.
The wait staff was very friendly, our chef was so nice and entertaining, and our food couldn’t have been better. An absolutely perfect experience.

TANPOPO RAMEN REVIEWS
Went here with my friend and tried this delicious ramen. The food here was very good and I enjoyed myself with the anime music in the background and pics all over. They also had little toys on the wall as well with masks. Good atmosphere and great service. I would definitely recommend and will be back along my travels.
My son introduced me to this place and we love it! The customer service is great and they're pretty fast. The food is great and you can also customize your Ramen to your liking. They have chili oil and pureed garlic on the table that you can add to your dish or sauces. I added both to my edamame tonight and it was delicious.
This was the best meal I have had in a long time, and I eat a lot of food. The atmosphere here is wonderful, it's like stepping into a different country to eat a meal. Such friendly staff and incredibly quick service. I was in an out in under an hour, had a full meal, and never felt rushed to finish, it could not have been a better experience.

HIBACHI EXPRESS REVIEWS
Great little place. Stopped in on a whim and was surprised by how much there was on the menu. Noodles, teriyaki, hibachi, and even sushi? Yes please! I had the steak hibachi, dragon roll, and a spicy tuna roll and it was every bit as good as the more expensive places around town. The lady who took my order was very polite and patient, the prices and portions were very reasonable, and the place was so clean and open. Very happy. I will def be back soon.
I saw this place driving by! there use to be one In Hampton but it burned down. I stopped in to asked if they were the same restaurant he said yes! This use to be our spot! So glad I drove past it definitely cured my Hibachi fix. For 4 meals and for only 40 dollars to feed a family of 5 I will take it any day.
Always fast, friendly, and the food is so good!!! I love the shrimp habachi noodle. And the spicy kami salad has a great kick! If you aren't a seafood fan, check out their steak and chicken habachi combo.
