It was very great experience. I came here to treat my family and they loved the sushi! I'm not a fan of sushi so I ordered the beef teriyaki bento and holy wow it was fire?? The service was also 10/10 amazing.

No one was before us and 3 sushi rolls took 30mins to arrive. The worst part is that the rice was hard... or uncooked/burnt or overcooked... each bite of the roll had a couple piece of hard rice in it and it just completely ruined the texture of the meal. It would be great if they at the least know how to properly cook rice... In fact, it probably wasn't even the cooks fault but probably because of a cheap rice cooker or something.

I used to eat here back in college and it was a great place. Today’s visit left me not caring to to try again.
There are no lunch specials. A basic salmon / eel roll was $20, $4 for miso and $6 for a fountain drink.
I had to ask for wasabi and ginger after my food was delivered as none came with the roll.
They plopped a fist sized dollop of ginger and a pea sized helping of wasabi.
You have to pay at the counter when you’re done so the cost is not including service (which I mainly did myself).
Environment was decent, no music, but some sports on.
Place has potential, roll was par for the course considering.

The wait staff are clueless sometimes. Every time we come, tables are dirty, the staff is too busy talking and standing around and they have no concept how to efficiently assist people. I've gotten up and left before, i can't deal with the nonsense. But if you have the patience to stay, the food is decent. I like the selection of rolls and the miso soup is delish.

Samurai Sushi is awesome! The miso soup is super tasty, rich, and comforting. The rolls are packed with flavor and made with really fresh ingredients, which makes all the difference. The staff is super friendly and attentive, always making sure you have everything you need and that you're enjoying your meal. It's comparable to a lot of Bay Area spots, making it a true gem in Turlock and the valley. If you're into sushi or just want to give it a try, this place is a must-visit.

It was nice but, they cheated me on the billing at the end. The menu price for example was $18.95 for a meal that came with soup and salad but in the end, charged me a-la-cart for it. This was done to numerous items.I didn't make a fuss or anything and I still left a tip but, I noticed and felt the shade. Came to $90 but probably would have been maybe $60 as I had a meal that cost $18.95 plus a fountain drink, my son's meal was $9.95 plus a soda, my daughters meal was $13.95 plus a soda. I recall that it actually came to $63 then he suddenly added on things a-la-cart as mentioned. I left an 18% tip. If the bill would have remained honest, I would have spent roughly $70 +/- dollars. *Honesty and Integrity are values📜🌬️🌊💙

I order an Alaska roll (salmon and avocado) and nigiri at every sushi restaurant I go to. The fish and vegetables were fresh and delicious. Unfortunately the sushi rice was a bit lacking in flavor, could use more rice vinegar in the mixture. The miso soup was fantastic.

Sushi Experience №31

Me and my boyfriend LOVE coming here. We come here often and we will keep on doing so because…
1- The service, the people that work there are so nice so friendly and they are just the best. They work very hard and they do their very best in everything that they do. We love going in there because they are so nice and so welcoming they keep the place clean and to be honest when the place gets packed and there is a lot of people they still work very hard and fast to bring food and to catch up with everyone. So if your in those times when the place is full and it takes a while for them to come to you BE PATIENT BECAUSE YOU WONT REGRET IT their service is the absolute best and so is their food.
2- Their food, The first time me and my boyfriend went there we didn’t know what to get so we both chose something completely random. When they gave us the food we tried it and IT WAS THE BEST. So we kept coming back more and more and at this point our goal is to try every single thing in the menu. Many times we have ordered so much food we struggled to make space on the table. BUT THAT WAS JUST HOW GOOD THEIR FOOD IS. Sometimes we order too much food BUT ITS OK WE PUT IT IN A BOX AND EAT IT LATER. Even cold it’s good. We absolutely love their food and I’m not sure if we’re even half ways to the whole menu
3- The atmosphere. The first time we went there it was so welcoming so nice and even tho it was our first time we were already so comfortable. Yes shy at first because we were new but the whole place plus the workers made it so comfortable and it was the best ever. We love it when we enter and it has a dark setting in there it is very comforting. We love the decorations that they have a everywhere and we appreciate how clean the bathroom is and how neat they are matching with the theme and how it’s always so clean and so is the whole place. So that sushi restaurant really is our comfort place to go to and eat and chill. And we recommend it 100x♾️% We also loved seeing the place change and grow the more we went. And I’m pretty sure a worker spoke in Spanish for my boyfriend HE WAS SHOCKED AND SO WAS I SO THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! we love that place SO MUCH!!!🫶
(Also we absolutely loved that ringtone when the door opened what happened to it? 👀)

The best sushi spot in Turlock

Visited a year ago

Sushi Experience №49

First off, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. If this review comes off as negative, it's because of the dishware and not the staff. The staff were excellent.

On to the food. I asked what kind of tea was offered, and was told, "hot green tea". Imagine going into an American restaurant and asking about their soda selection, and being told "cold sodas", or a French restaurant with "chilled wine". It is just not particularly useful to know when considering food pairings. Is it a sencha? Genmaicha? Jasmine?

I didn't try the sushi, but ordered a bowl of udon. Flavor and composition-wise, I prefer my own homemade udon, being from an Asian background myself. But that's not important, I ordered the chef's udon, and that was his udon. I didn't order my udon. My problem was with the bowl. The edge of the bowl was slanted. It's hard to explain, and I've never seen anything like it, so I included a picture. Now, go and Google "slanted bowl". Do you see any pictures of the bowl containing soup? No. Because it's not a bowl you serve soup in. And again, the bowl is slanted. Where do you rest your chopsticks when you're not using them? The chopstick rest, which wasn't available at the restaurant. Otherwise, across the dish/bowl with your food. Except the bowl is slanted, so the chopsticks roll right off. Where am I supposed to be resting my chopsticks?

Seating was honestly fine, it wasn't a large area, but there was some single seats up front and a few larger tables. It's about what I'd expect from the establishment.

Sushi Experience №59

This place is an absolute hidden gem. The restaurant is small, but clean and well kept. The service was very quick and the employees were very attentive. The kitchen is visible from the dining area and from what I could see, it was clean and pretty well organized, with the line being continuously cleaned and restocked between orders. The staff were all well groomed and the place was well staffed, which means a lot to me, personally.
Now onto the food: 10s across the board!!! We tried a specialty roll and a deep fried roll. The specialty roll was so delicious; packed with flavor, texture, and layers upon layers of savory and spicy goodness. The deep fried roll was a surprising treat; the outer breading was perfectly golden and crisp, but the raw salmon inside hadn't been cooked through at all. On both of the rolls, the fish tasted delectably fresh. Both rolls were also served with a generous amount of spicy mayo and teriyaki, adding even more layers of sweet and savory flavor.
This is our new favorite sushi place. Clean, friendly staff, incredible food, and great prices. I cannot recommend it more.

I am extremely disappointed at this establishment. When hubby and I entered, first I see is there are three guys in the kitchen area. One was wearing a cowboy hat and another wearing a baseball cap. Seriously??? Then it too them time to seat us till the cook w/o a hat pointed us a table and said take any seat. I understand that this is a local business owner with limited staff but with the limited number of tables for customers, I would assume they try to clean the tables as fast as possible for new customers coming in. There was only one clean table for us when we entered. And last but importantly, they don’t have bento box on their menu. This is the first EVER in my years of eating at a “sushi restaurant” when they don’t have a bento box on the menu. Hubby and I walked out and decided to go someplace else to eat. I honestly don’t understand how this place got such rating. I HIGHLY recommend Sushi Cuisine next to Safeway off of Monte Vista if you are looking for authentic sushi. That place I know it’s good since hubby and I have been there twice but I thought to give this place a try.

Food is really good, been here several times before, but for some reason last two times I been walking in to place an order, they told me they weren’t taking order at the moment, I walk in a little before 6pm when they close at 8pm according with their sign. If they are only taking phone order because pandemic I will completely understand it if they have a sign at the door or say that to me, but walk in to order and have services denied when still a couple hrs for them to close with no reason make me feel unwelcome, great food a little pricy but is worthed. Maybe my luck who knows but to get services denied for a third time better look some other place. Thank you

I keep trying to give it a chance to this place, on a Wednesday afternoon, waiting time for pickup is 45 minutes.?, they don’t have a friendly website to do online ordering, neither a menu where you can place your order with at leas 2 hrs in advance to make sure it will be ready, i guess they should put delivery and dine in only because for take out is always 40 to 1 the estimated time they give you, they either want you to give up and walk away or they are that busy giving priority to deliveries and dine in. Maybe excellent food, who know I hasn’t be able to try it anymore, but terrible guess services.

This restaurant used to be my favorite until the new owners (Koreans) took over. The food quality has gone down hill. The portion became smaller. And the prices have gone up. In other words, the value is terrible. If the poor food quality doesn't turn you off, the service will. It takes a very long time to get your order. The dining area is very small and uncomfortable. So, overpriced menu plus poor service plus uncomfortable seating arrangement have earned this restaurant a negative 5-star rating. So, the one-star above is there only because negative 5-star isn't available.

This place has some of the best sushi that Turlock has to offer in my opinion. The number of specialty sushi rolls is sizeable, from fresh rolls, to baked, or deep fried there's something for everyone.

My wife went for a teriyaki chicken bento box and the three rolls we tried this visit were the caterpillar, the peter, and the kaisen. All three rolls delicious and fresh. Wasabi and ginger were on point.

We've found the best time to visit is during the lunch hour as in the evenings it can get quite busy, but always worth the wait. If we had to give one critique it's that the rice consistency is not as soft/sticky as we like it, but we understand there are different blends of rice and preference differs from person to person. Either way this place is worth a try.

Cheers! 🍣 🍚 🍱

The food quality isn't here any more. It looks like the new owner has cut corner too much. This restaurant is now run by a young Korean man with a very bad attitude. Poor customer service and low bang-for-buck ratio at this joint will keep me (and my friends) away. This restaurant used to be good. But now rudeness and Korean-styled Japanese foods make it an undesirable place.

First time at this place. A friend recommended this place, albeit, he hadn't been to this place for a long time! My mom and I went for lunch at 12:30. I ordered sushi, my mom ordered chicken teriyaki plate ( she can't eat sushi) and asked if they would substitute the California rolls for something else, the waitress went to ask and returned with a "no!"
So she changed her order to a chicken bowl, the waitress returns and tells us, "sorry but we don't have chicken, it's just marinating so we won't have any right now!" Are you kidding me?? The "karate kid" behind the counter was super sweet and nice, apologized but the other big guy that looked as if he had just rolled out of bed was most unfriendly.
We were trying the place out bcuz we were going to have them cater an event or just order food to go for this event. Whether they had chicken marinating at "12:30" lunch time or not is incredible to believe! First impressions count and we were stunned that they were unprepared. They lost out, we were prepared to pay a lot for our celebration so we decided to go elsewhere! Never returning!

Although the waiter was very kind and friendly, he could have been a lot more attentive. I watched him help the young girl's at the table next to us, but he never asked if our table was OK. I had to grab my own napkins and anything else I might have needed on my own. My table spent over a $150, the girls next to me each bought a cheap roll and made disgusting puke sounds while they ate it. Apparently I need to be under 24 yrs old to get any service from this particular waiter. On an positive note, the cook was was impeccable with his sushi rolls and the food was phenomenal. They accommodated weird requests made by my mother in law and child, and did not make us feel like we were being a burden. I will definitely go back, I will just be a lot more vocal about my displeasure with the waiter next time. Honestly I'll probably just get my food to go.

This is my go to place for sushi, and I don't even live in town. Really good food.

Edit: I have to say that ownership of Samurai has changed and so has the flavor profile/menu. This review is no longer accurate to the current style of food, and it seems that you can no longer get the rolls shown in my pictures. As such, I will probably not be making the drive over to Turlock anymore.

The food is still good and I liked it a lot, it just wasn't the food that I loved from the old menu. I wish the new owner well.

Wowed by Aurora’s great and attentive service, even during a busy lunch crowd. (Always a good sign) This was the most delicious boat we’ve had .

While the cream cheesed, avocado stuffed, deep fried rolls are great, it was tasty to enjoy all the different fish in a fresh dish. But next time I’m getting the (no name) A+

Not a bad place by any means but they just don't stand out. Unfortunately, they like to put the same sauces on every roll so they all end up tasting exactly the same despite being constructed with quite different ingredients. Maybe it's just me? I don't get it.

New owners but the sushi is still great !
Edit: The waiting time was longer than 40 minutes for a chicken teriyaki bowl. The sushi came out fast, but everyone in the table should be getting their food around the same time. Half of my table had finished eating by the time the other food came out. The sushi is still really good though.

It's an alright place, good for sushi but be careful about the "mama mia" I got it and didn't know there would be crunchy shrimp because they only offer one menu to look at when you walk in due to Covid restrictions ok restaurants, which made me only glance at the menu, but overall good price, great tasting

This is my go-to place for sushi 💜 even if there is a new owner, the energy is still consistent and the food is just as good!!! One of my favorites is the Elizabeth roll.

We were excited to eat here cause the vibe was cool. Sadly, the rice was over cooked and mushy on both sushi rolls. The wait was longer than 30. When I ordered the tempura fried roll it was pretty gross since the rice was mushy with the mushy tempura. The only good thing was the waiter, he was really nice and had good customer service.

I've been going here for quite a few years but when I went today I found out they're under new ownership. The new ownership and staff are really cool.

I decided to try something different today so I tried the Korean Chirashi and the Yasmoto's roll. Both were really really good. Whatever the sauce is on the Chirashi it's really good, I took some home. They have a new menu with some Korean dishes so I'll be trying more new things next time I go back.

They'll be updating the online and in store menu soon. I'm looking forward to trying some of the new menu items. They also have $1 & $2 sushi pieces every day so check them out.

My family and I have been coming here for years. The food was always great when the previous owners had it. My daughter and I recently went for the first time in a year. We Were told it was under new ownership, so decided to try it out. Our waitress was so sweet and helpful. Unfortunately it took way to long to get our food and the quality was not as good as it use to be. Hopefully things get better for them.

Restaurant management has gone down since Moon left. I checked the place out after Walmart shopping and noticed the different owners, new chefs.. only the same sauces. Very tacky roll name choices. My roll had low quality fish.

I am not a huge fan of this new 'to-go' place... :-( I miss the 1st owners, their food was made not to be showy or impress, just easily leave me and my kids feeling satisfied! Back then it was simple, original and delicious!! I am unable to find another place like the old Samurai. Miss the real food, miss dining in seeing their faces SO much! but we know that the restaurant was not their WHOLE life - they always had much to look forward to w/o us! I am sure that the new owners thank them for their long successful work years getting the new business where it is now... !!!

Samurai sushi has always been my husband and mine’s favorite place to go in Turlock. They recently have new owners and my husband and his family were close to the previous owners but we still wanted to keep supporting this business. The food is still amazing and the employees are always super nice and welcoming. This will continue to be our favorite sushi spot.

I have been skeptical about this restaurant for years... i have a personal favorite restaurant but my boyfriend loves Samurai Sushi. So being me, I’ve tried this place for the sole purpose of my boyfriend and let me please tell you this place is good. The atmosphere is great, very family oriented and friendly people and the food is great! I have continued coming here ever since and all I know and want is samurai sushi now!!!

Ask yourself. Should you really be eating sushi in Turlock? I was on the toilet for a very long time. It was good though. Very good. I actually dont think you can get better sushi unless you head up to Stockton. The people are way too nice for you to not give them your business too.

I don’t want to give this restaurant any stars but in order to write a review you need to give a star.

Me and my husband waisted 35 dollars on the lobster roll. It looked like they took one order and split it in half. I don’t know what happened but as soon as I got home I got sick like something didn’t go well when they prepared it. Who knows long story short food sucked and I wish I could get a refund

This was a really nice place to eat. It was our first time here. The server was nice and everyone that I interacted with was polite. As we were sitting there waiting for our food, we overhead a regular come in ( a couple) and the owner( I assume) and his wife were talking to the couple tand he was recommending sushi they should try since they knew what they liked. Seeing that interaction was little, but showed how the owners loved their work and care for the customer that comes in. They always said thank you to everyone that would leave. The food was really good. Will definitely go back.
