We just spent the better part of the week skiing at Lake Tahoe. The first night at Tahoe we all felt like Sushi. We heard that the best Sushi restaurant in Tahoe is the Samurai. We sampled the seaweed salad--excellent, and over the course of three days almost everything on the menu! We have all travelled extensively and are familiar with Sushi. ...

Well this place has great Sushi and even better Sake. We took the advice of the friendly owner and purchased not one but two bottles of his new Sayuri Sake. In hindsight maybe one bottle would have been enough. But now I know that if I want to lose my memory, insult everyone I meet, have my friends randomly kick strangers, start fights with hot ...

THE BEST JAPANESE RESTAURANT IN TAHOE!!!!!! Excellent food, excellent ambience and excellent comraderie. Personal attention from the owner, Chef, caps the evening off. Don't miss it if Japanese food is on your list.

Six years ago we stopped by Samurai by chance, and kept going back for all 3 days we stayed in Tahoe. The food were amazingly fresh , unique, and authentic! Tonight we had the chance skiing in Tahoe, and stopping by at Samurai again..after 6 years...the food is even better. We love jellyfish salad with Talaiko and Quail egg, baked baby octopus, ...

We have eaten alot of sushi and the Samurai ranks at the top. The sushi was fresh and cut in large pieces per order. The uni, hamachi, salmon belly, and toro was like butter...amazing! The jelly fish salad was very good served with flying fish eggs. You could tell the sushi chefs have been doing this for a long time and have great ...

My wife and I have eaten at Samurai for many years and the sushi has always been fresh and we have never had a bad meal. Along with great sushi, they have a great selection of other Japanese dishes and a great selection of sake. To me, there is no better place for Japanese food in Lake Tahoe than at the Samurai. You just can't beat great food and great service at the Samurai!

We recently had a marvelous dining experience at the Samurai Restaurant featuring some of its innovative sushi dishes, including J Lo Roll, Y2K Roll, and Crabby Craberton Roll. The ingredients were moist and fresh; the flavor combinations novel; and the textures of the vegetables crisp. Even for the diner among us with little affinity for sushi, ...

Please read - If you like good sushi - don't go here......We ordered take-out since we have a 2 year old and dining can be a challenge. We ordered nearly $100.00 of sushi, appetizers, etc. It was the worst sushi we have ever had. The fish looked days old and the cucumber in the tako sunomono looked like it was cut 4 days ago. The only thing ...

What a wonderful dining experience we had at the Samurai last week. Our family of four craves Sushi wherever we travel across the nation and we must place this dining experience as one of those special favorites. Not only was the food simply fresh and outstanding, the personal touch of the host and hostess made our visit feel like guests in their ...
