JAPAN SAMURAI REVIEWS
This place was fantastic! The rolls came out beautiful and were as expertly made as they were delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxing, light enough to see but dim enough to be private. There was a gorgeous rock garden in the centre and I could see the hibachi grill flare up every now and then. I really like this place and wish I was local because I'd become a regular very quickly.
We had an awesome evening! The food was delicious, cooked right in front of you. Even my picky eater gobbled the entire plate. And portions there are huge!The cook was a real fun - very entertaining! He talked to guests and cooked the meat to our liking. Also, since it was my birthday, I've got a song and a whole birthday cake.
It was an amazing experience and food. The gentle and young lady that served us was very politely and friendly. The food was so good, everything perfectly seasoned and tender, the sushi was amazing and fresh! Totally worth ever cent.

TANPOPO RAMEN REVIEWS
My husband has been craving ramen for like 2 weeks now. And he found this place online and it had good reviews so we went. They opened at 11, and we got there at around 1130, and surprisingly we were the 1st ones there. So I got to take pictures of the place empty, which was awesome because the artwork and polaroid pictures of customers on the walls were super cool! As appetizers we got Edamame and Takoyaki. My husband got the Shoyu ramen, I got the Chicken Katsu ramen. Then when the waiter brought the check, he gave us 2 complementary bite size pieces of cheesecake. Everything was so good! I highly recommend this place to anyone craving some ramen. We'll definitely be going back.
I have visited this place twice, each time being beyond pleasant. It’s the kind of food and experience that leaves you feeling warm and bubbly inside, ready for a good night’s sleep. The decor will take you far away from Newport News into a little town in Japan; It feels literally like a scene out of a Hayao Miyazaki movie. The icing on the cake is the service, humble, responsive, and generous. They also treat my toddlers so well, which is another way to my heart. I can’t say enough good things about this gem. They are just so giving in little touches, and that is exactly how you make a lifelong guest. I am really surprised I hadn’t heard of this place by word of mouth before I got the craving for some good ramen. Thank you for all you do.
I was watching a food show on TV and it was about authentic Ramen. It inspired me to find a place to go and try it. So I found Tanpopo Ramen. I got some friends together and we went. First of all this place is located in like a strip mall setting so you wouldn't think much of it. However the ratings tell a different story! Walk in and it's a fairly small place but highly decorated with people there who obviously enjoy being there. We were seated immediately and the staff was very tentative. The menu is easy to understand and categorized well. We needed up getting two Grilled Chicken Ramen with one Miso Ramen. And an appetizer of Pork Dumplings. If you don't know how to use chop sticks, don't worry, you can either ask for a fork or use these little plastic helpers that attach to the sticks. The food was absolutely delicious and arrived pretty quickly. We can't wait to go back and try other things! I would highly recommend this place.

HIBACHI EXPRESS REVIEWS
WOW! Saw this on Yelp and the reviews looked really good so I thought I'd give a try for a Friday night takeout. The food is amazing, tasty and fresh. The veggies are so tasty! I ordered chicken and shrimp with white rice and extra zucchini and a lot of yum yum sauce! My new favorite stop for Hibachi. The restaurant is so clean and there's a huge glass for you to watch them cook (great for kiddos). I'm coming back for sure.
So far the best hibachi grill/sushi in the area. Food is made to order and fresh. Portions are great and the prices are way lower than all the other Hibachi places in the area including Williamsburg. The staff isn't too friendly but the clean atmosphere and tasty food somewhat male up for it. We ordered the steak hibachi terryaki style. Large portion, lots of lovely rice (tasted like brown rice) and fresh veggies. We did not like the calamares. Although it was crispy the pieces were not cut in your typical rings but large pieces, making it not so easy to eat. The salmon boy something was wonderful. We missed the yum yum sauce offered at other hibachi grills, but hey you can't have it all.
I love this place! I don't have any complaints. This is the same hibachi grill that was originally located in Hampton off of Mercury Blvd. I visited the new location in Newport News and the quality of food has not changed. I ordered the Hibachi chicken and shrimp and it was really good. The shrimp could have been larger but they were seasoned well. The portion size was decent and filling. I can't speak on any of the other dishes however, I have had every variation of the hibachi entrees (except squid) and each taste really good.
