Samurai Sam’s

Not horrible. Get the sauce on the side so you can meter it’s overuse.

Amazing rice and chicken ! And friendly employees !!! Although grant is rude occasionally. I do enjoy the large steak bowls!

Quick and Healthy. I don’t try to reinvent the wheel when I come to these types of establishments. Do yourself a favor and go simple. It’s always consistent when it’s simple. I always get white chicken bowl, veggies, spicy and brown rice with the occasional quinoa addition. I always get the Ginger salad. When I say always, I’m referring to the countless Samurai Sams around the valley. I come it at lunch, it’s quick and healthy. Some are managed better than others but I don’t strive for service when it’s made quickly.
That’s my take! I’ll be back.

Guys… Samurai Sam’s is freaking delicious. Give it a shot… or another, if you used to be a vegetarian and came once with your then-​boyfriend and got a veggie bowl and thought it was really bland and then refused to try it again until YEARS later when you moved literally across the street and now you eat meat and the riceless white chicken/​vegetable bowl with sauce on the side is your NEW BEST FRIEND. And then apologize to your now fiancé (who still proposed to you even though you were basically the catalyst for not going to one of his favorite casual places in forever) and rejoice that you get to feast on these ACTUALLY HEALTHY and tasty bowls whenever you feel like it.
Cheap. Quick. Healthy (if you want it to be.). Delicious. Done!

Very poor food not top quality. prices are the highest of all the stores. all the good reviews on here are from employees the owner forced us too I would know because I used to work here very poor ownership the owner takes the tips from the employees very sad that she’s that Greedy

The previous owners took so much pride in their food. It was always top quality and I never, ever found any gristle or bad meat. In the last year or more, We’ve been coming less because it’s just not that good, but we live in hope. I get gristle in my steak bowls and inedible pieces of chicken. It seems the ratio is more filler like rice or noodles than meat and vegetables. I used to crave it. Not it’s OK for a change. Franchise owners should be held more responsible.

If I lived closer, I would eat here multiple times per week! This place is the truth!
The chicken bowls are excellent, regardless of whether or not you do white or dark meat. HOWEVER, the steak dishes are THE BEST things on the menu… strictly because of the quality of the steak. Most teriyaki joint use reconstituted shoe leather for their steak dishes (or at least it seems that way based on how tough that «steak» usually is!). Samurai Sam’s uses true steak (flank steak if I had to wager a guess) and its honestly cooked to perfection! It’s thick cut and extremely flavorful.
Spicy Steak and Pepper Bowl is my go to but any combo of meat, veggies, rice and sauce is going to be a winner.
Pot stickers are great, egg rolls are not bad and price is definitely right.
The staff is almost always very friendly and the place is cleaned and maintained very well. Call ahead pick up orders are the way I usually do it and the buy 9 get one free punch card is a must.
ENJOY!

I went in and ate almost an entire bowl and then I looked at the chicken… I was served green chicken… Enough said

This is nothing but fast food that tastes like cardboard. Very salty and my chicken was burnt.

OVERPRICED — The noodles are OK — chicken and steak were marinated and tasted very good. It was very pricey for a bowl — well over $ 12. When I inquired about he roughly $ 8.50 price on the menu, then I was told «ok it is 90 cents extra for the brocolli» and something else for the carrots and tax and … And the other dish I ordered for my kid was so small for over $ 6.
For the price, there are many other choices around (e.g. Wok Box is so much better, much cheaper and much larger portions; Jade Palace is a little cheaper and excellent).

Solid healthy meal was enjoyed at this location. The large bowl was only $ 7 and the white meat chicken was very good quality and was plentiful. Needed an extra teriyaki sauce, but will get that next time. Could use more veggies, but overall a great choice.

I love this place, I lost so much weight by eating lunch here all the time, just order with no sauce and put on very little sauce yourself, kick it up with some chili pepper for extra kick in the metabolism.

Samurai Sam’s tries hard at creating some Asian inspired food
The three of us came here last week, each ordering something different. I had three chicken tacos which were good, but had virtually no meat. As you can see from the photos, it’s hard to find any. Lots of veggies though.
As for my friends, they each ordered different types of teriyaki bowls. Both came with a lot of rice, but again not much else.
Sadly, you can get nearly twice as much food at Panda Express. It’s hard to justify coming back, our bill came to $ 24.70, including two soft drinks and one water. So, Two Stars and yes, we have had better.
Sorry!

Pretty good food, tge vegetables are very crispy which I love! Shows they aren’t over cooked and drenched in sauce!
The only downside is the place is small so during the lunch rush there isn’t too much room and it gets awkward trying to eat while someone is standing next to you and watching you eat.
The staff is friendly and efficient. The food can be made healthy. I think its way better tasting than panda.

Love coming here. Usually get the spicy white meat chicken combo. The spring roll makes the meal for me. Friendly staff and owner (Marlene).

AMAZING service, food, home made sauce and atmosphere. The menu is a mix between vegetarian and meat dishes over rice or noodles. YUM! This place is a wonderful quick spot for healthy lunch. When they cook their veggies, they do not come out soggy or salty, they are still packed with their nutrients and have a great crunch. The food is prepared very well. The business hours vary, so make sure its open if you are in a hurry! They have home made sauces as well as a mix of hot sauces and the dreaded GHOST PEPPERS! Fantastic little stop and very affordable.

After reading Lindsey’s review, I had to think twice about my original review of this place. Yes, I had been back and gave it another shot.
Yes, perhaps, I was a bit douchy in my prior review.
This place is definitely a great spot if you need a quick lunch, and you are on the go. Its a fairly comfortable place to eat, and it’s better for you than a Baconator (although, that does sound delicious right about now).
They tend to water down their Sriracha, but it might be more of a heat thing rather than a cost cutting thing. Sriracha can be a bit spicy for some.
The spicy chicken bowl is the way to go. Try it. Don’t listen to my old review. I was probably having a bad day at work.

Come on folks! How can you go wrong with affordable, healthy and quick! Oh and let’s not forget to mention their addicting teriyaki sauce and low-​fat egg rolls! This is a healthy fast-​food shop and one that I would frequent much more if it was closer to my hood. But, I will say that it’s worth the drive in my eyes because it’s not everyday that you can find healthy food that fills you up and tastes unhealthy. It’s a win win situation! Get the chicken teriyaki bowl with spicy teriyaki sauce and brown rice and make it a meal because those egg rolls are tasty!

My boss’s current favorite. We eat here almost daily. Great tasting, affordable, healthy food. We both go for the brown rice. He prefers white meat, I prefer dark. We always load up on the chili sauce, chili powder, sesame seeds, etc.
Their reward card system (buy 10 get 1 free) is kind of cool. You leave it in a semi-​alphabetized tray there, rather than having it clutter up your wallet.
I’m not a fan of the wraps. I tried them and they’re too sickly sweet for me. Otherwise, great food.
