View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Shishin Samurai:
Although there was one set of samurai armor and some recipes that reportedly dated to samurai times, we expected more samurai ambience. The food was good but not really special. Although online comments indicated the prices would be relatively inexpensive, we thought the prices were high for what we received, in comparison to other restaurants with similar quality/quantity food we visited in Japan.
