We waited nearly 1 and half hour to get our food. I thought maybe they went to the ocean to get the fish, but no. Mediocre sushi. Poorly managed. Lot of hangry people in the restaurant.

Really enjoyed this dinner stop on the long drive home. Sushi rolls were cut to small bites so it's easier to eat than most sushi places. Tempura was tasty. Central gas fireplace was a pleasant treat during winter. Service was friendly in spite of being busy.Parking: Had to park in the car wash next door, since there were only a few spaces at the restaurant and snow blocked most of the street parking.

My favorite place in town for sushi. I’ve lived here my whole life and no where else has ever even compared to the fresh, delicious taste of the sushi here. The chefs are so nice and interactive. 10/10 would recommend. My favorite dishes are the baked baby octopus and the amaebi and scallop

Great place for casual sushi fix.The appetizers are amazing, and the rolls are a great value.More of a local spot; those that are fussy should try naked fish if willing to pay 40% more

I go here at least every two weeks. My favorite items are the Japanese bbq ribs, the bbq albacore, bbq yellowtail collar, soft shell crab roll, J-Lo role, Crabby Craberton, and Grease Lightning roll. Its also alot cheaper than other sushi spots in town. I love Naked Fish too but its spendy.

It is amazing that there are so many menu options available. The BBQ yellowtail collar is delicious. The sushi rolls not only taste good, but also have beautiful colors. Although they are somewhat short handed, the waiting time and service are reasonably good. We will definitely come back again next time we visit South Lake Tahoe!

I wanted to love this place and the food was honestly good, and I’m picky about sushi. The service was just a lil crazy. The waitress was so sweet at first but when we had to split our bill it became a hugeeee deal. We tried to apologize and make it as easy as possible— it’s usually not a big deal to split a check two ways— but she struggled and made a bit of a show telling the rest of the staff about the situation and laughing about it loudly while we just kinda sat awkwardly. Lol it was weird and uncomfortable but I definitely recommend the food! Just maybe don’t try to split a bill there.

Dined in and ordered four dishes. Some ingredients were missing in three of the plates.Owner insisted the ingredients had been served and actually approached our table to see if we really did not get those.

I have never left a dinner so angry food was good but watched every person around us get their food while we waited a literal hour. Our server took our drink glasses away without asking us if we wanted another. I left my birthday dinner angry instead of happy I will not ever be back. Honestly I'm so angry. When I tried to leave and we were told we couldn't, and if we wanted faster service we should have sat at the bar. We weren't offered seats at the bar. Still while sitting we watched every other table get served before us. After an hour and 10 minutes our food came. It was good, however our server had a major attitude, and my birthday dinner was ruined. Again will not be back, this place has gone so far downhill.

Food is below frozen dinner quality. Poor presentation, tasteless, and just pure substandard. Only Sukiaki was acceptable quality. Do not understand how others gave higher then 2 stars rating!

One of the worst restaurant experiences ever..Do yourself a favor don’t eat at Samurai Restaurant South Lake Tahoe for any reason. To start the atmosphere was dark and the table was filthy. The waitress was a nightmare she definitely didn’t like cleaning the table or any table. Despite the bad start we decided to order, we were hungry. The waitress was cold and embarrassing rude but she finally took my order but she never took my wife’s order, I had to flag her down for that in an absolutely empty restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. Once the questionable food finally arrived it matched the service it was a cold tasteless and disgusting. If you’re looking for Sushi Restaurant this is not the place Samurai Restaurant is an insult to Sushi Restaurants everywhere save your money and your dignity…

Good food. Horrible service. Attitude from the server the second we sat down. Forgot items. No refills on drinks (water) should not go before 8pm if you don’t want to be told you’ll be waiting 45 minutes for food after sitting down to order.
