Samurai Japanese Cafe

My first time at Samurai, Balmain was pretty great!My boyfriend I feasted on salmon sashimi, age gyoza, their infamous crispy salmon roll their chicken teriyaki roll.The stand outs for me were definitely the crispy salmon roll the sashimi. The sashimi was very impressive it tasted super fresh melted in the mouth, I could've eaten it all night long.The crispy salmon roll seems like a must have at Samurai, it was also fresh, crunchy yet soft filled with wasabi mayo. Highly recommend!

My family and I love Samurai. A very extensive menu that caters for all taste buds and is incredibly good value. The staff are what you expect from any Japanese establishment, attentive an extremely polite. We have been going for years and also get take away regularly. The owner throws the odd gift (a surprise side dish) in there which is so touching. Really popular amongst us locals and for good reason. All staff and the owner are Japanese which is so refreshing. A Japanese venue actually ran and operated by Japanese the way it should be!!!

What amazing service what friendly people what flavours and what price!! Must go place. BYO only. Great menu with daily specials and one of the best Japanese deserts I have had.

Really great Japanese restaurant. Everything we ordered was delicious and presentation was fantastic too. The kakuni was my personal favourite dish of the night. Also, if you are a fan of eggplant the Nasumiso is definitely worth ordering! Will definitely eat here again soon!

So yum I really like this place. My favorite dishes were the crispy salmon roll and the chicken tacos. The sashimi was really fresh and delicious, we had the salmon sashimi. Beef asparagus was also very nice. Okonomiyaki wasn't great, it was too saucy so I probably wouldn't order again. Overall, great dinner and good price.
