Feedback
Reviews praise Samsi's sushi, presentation and warm service but note inconsistent ramen and mid-to-high pricing; many recommend it for special occasions.
Recommended. You need to try this restaurant. Staff are friendly. Food cooked very fresh and serve very quick! The restaurant is a massive building, so you have a space between the tables.
Ordered the sushi and sashimi rather disappointing. smelt strong when it arrived at the table and we all know the freshest fish (which this should have been) does not. 2 pieces of the sashimi were cooked and didn’t taste very good and only one sushi was really nice. the veg tempura was nice and the chicken katsu; however, we had requested the tempura be served as a starter and the fish came first, followed by the tempura and the chicken, at almost the same time. the waiter whispered and the requested water never arrived. the japanese green tea was incredibly weak. service was definitely not worth the 10% they automatically added to the bill
Not worth it. I had a ramen bowl. The noodles were literally spaghetti. I ask the staff about it. They even pretended to be “ramen noodles”. The broth was thin and definitely not properly cooked. Expensive and disappointing to experience. Not recommended!
A really nice meal to celebrate my sons 21st birthday. Thank you for making it special.
We visited here for a birthday meal and it was our first time eating here. The food was incredible! The portions were generous and everything tasted so fresh and had so much flavour. We ordered a mix of ramen and sushi dishes and it was all amazing. The chicken skewers were especially delicious. The staff were also really welcoming. I’ve never experienced such warm and attentive service. We will definitely be coming back!!
