It is a fairly small place and I disnt have high expectations walking in. I ordered a salmon nigiri x 2 for 3.4 and a tempura prawn udon for $10. Now I have never been to a place where you can get 3 tempura prawns and udon for 10 bucks! That is definitely value for money. The staff was friendly, you make your order on an iPad. There are many customers walking in for take away or eat-in, the ground floor was full by 12:30 and they have an upstairs. Many regulars come and they just go upstairs seeing that the bottom floor is full. The tempura prawns was crispy and wasn’t oily. The udon soup has a strong flavour, while the udon was chewy. Though it was not home-made udon (yes no home-made udon for $10 obvi). The salmon had a good proportion of fat and I have no complaints except I was expecting a little bit of wasabi on the side even though I wanted without wasabi, I thought that meant that wasabi wouldnt be inside the nigiri? But yes over all, it was a quite delightful meal for 13.4.
I’ve been coming here for years and the quality is still fairly the same.
My last visit was last week and I feel like their matcha shake has become a little bit more liquidy than it used to be (more ice cream than liquid).
Quality of the sushi is still high with the generous servings (I usually order the sushi and sashimi set). My other favourites are the chicken katsu don, takoyaki, tempura soba and salmon and avocado roll.
Cosy Japanese restaurant targeting the students around Swinburne. Theres lots on the menu….. possibly a bit too much. The agadashi tofu was not bad, sushi was ok. Staff are very friendly.
Not bad but not memorable either. Inside, the tables and seats are quite close to one another so it feels a little uncomfortable when crowded. The food tastes as one would expect, so thats a good thing if you just want to eat safe! The matcha milkshake was more like a thick shake… it was hard to suck through the straw. Service is good and staff are friendly.
A must try if you’re looking for delicious, well priced Japanese food. Always end up here at least once a week for lunch with friends. Faves are the bento boxes and the green tea milk shake. I dont think you can go wrong with anything you order though.
An absolute favourite for me and my girlfriends to catch up for dinner on a weeknight. The menu is extensive- there are so many items to choose from! The agedashi tofu is something we always order, along with the miso soup. The salmon nigiri is absolutely to die for. A cheap, cheerful and DELICIOUS feast is always on the cards at Samurai.
I’ve been coming to Samurai for years. If you’re looking for high quality, classic Japanese food without the fancy pricetag, this is the place to go. The Bento lunch options are great (not available for dinner), and the dinner menu is extensive, with options for everyone and generous serving sizes. I love the Katsu curry, although I can never quite work out why there’s so much curry, and not quite enough rice to eat the curry.
