Samurai Japanese Restaurant is a japanese in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is listed at 1420 Locust St, Philadelphia, PA 19102, which places it among the local businesses of Philadelphia that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Philadelphia peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

As first timer here was worried due to saw previous reviews was scared. But wasn't bad. The server was nice, she explained the AYCE deal. The price was good 27$ + 1 free soda drink per person for 90mins. Enjoyed 🙂 'Keep mind not all chef specials are in menu for AYCE but most of it is there so is good enough'. Also the regular rolls are 5-6 pieces and chef are 8 pieces be wisely about ordering too much, the rolls are fully loaded.

Ordered lunch from Samurai today via Uber Eats and it was delicious! I had the three sushi rolls lunch special and a chicken katsu cutlet special (I’m a hungry guy what can I say?). For the rolls I ordered the Striped Bass (YUM!), salmon (fresh and tasty and big ol chunks!) and boston (ay big and tasty shrimp!). The portion on the Chicken Katsu was large! Got to save most of that for dinner. Definitely want to stop by with a group and go for that AYCE sushi special and get a karaoke room! I’ll be stopping by in person sometime soon. Until then, I highly recommend ordering for lunch, especially if theres an Uber promotion going on. The Katsu was $12, and I had a 50% off lunch coupon that stacked. I will order again regardless of if there’s a promotion or not though, it was that good! Thank you Samurai! 🙏

Excellent downtown Rittenhouse area Japanese restaurant that has BENTO box dinners. Most places only have bento for lunch. The interior is super cool modern and exciting. Service was excellent. And the price... yes, the price for a bento was awesome! We enjoyed our bentos and got out of there without breaking the bank for dinner. Thank you!

Tried the all you can eat option. It’s only available Tuesday to Friday. The sushi we chose were good, just that the waiting was a bit long for the second order. I suggest ordering a lot at once if you’re sure you are able to finish all. There were only 2 servers while the tables were mostly occupied. I don’t really like the ambience since it’s not bright enough. Overall was satisfying.

Loved Samurai! We dined privately in our very own 360-degree video room. We were given a private room. Our table was surrounded by beautiful reef fish and sharks. It was something you might experience at Disney World. It was a very cool concept. Watch out! The Sushi chef will overfeed you with amazing sushi roll after amazing sushi roll. The sashimi was super fresh. We tried the steak too, and it was delicious. The owner is a sushi distributor who hand-picks whatever is served, which is the equivalent to Charlie from the Chocolate factory handing you just the right candy bar! This restaurant will end up being one of the next great places to eat in Center city, Philadelphia. Go before everybody finds out about it, or you won’t get in, and you will be waiting outside. Trust me, it’s that good!
