Reviews


Located in a small yet inviting space, this restaurant offers a diverse menu with flavorful food and generous portions. While service can be a bit forgetful at times, the delicious curry dishes and combination specials have kept customers coming back for more. The establishment is not primarily a sushi restaurant, but rather focuses on traditional, homestyle Japanese cuisine. With a unique location in an abandoned shopping center, this spot has become a Tucson institution. Many patrons praise it as a hidden gem, offering high praise for their ramen bowls, sushi rolls, and overall dining experience. Recommended for those looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in Tucson, Samurai typically has an average rating of 4.1.
