Samurai Sushi Garden

Fresh, creative, variety & bang for the buck. Rolls are filled with substance and not a lot of rice… «taste great, less rice filling» is what I look for, because I would be the first to pick off the extra rice and make a pile on my plate. Creative for AK, not compared to Nobu in NY or Raku Sushi in LA. Tried Sushi Sushi (decent/​pretty date setting) and I love Sushi (not good for what you get). Samurai Sushi beats them by price and taste for Anchorage. The quality has gone down since I been going there for the past several years.

Great Sushi. However, we’ve been here several times and the service is lacking. The waitresses always act as if they have better things to do than take your order. Getting a waitress back to your table for anything else takes a small miracle. If you don’t mind being treated like an inconvenience, this place is great.

This place is absolutely delicious! We ordered a variety of items on the menu. Everything we had was yummy!!! Our favorite item was the calamari tempura. It had just enough crisp and the calamari just melted in your mouth!

I’ve never felt so scammed by a restaurant before.
First off, my friend and I called in an order so my friend could pick it up on the way to work for us.
This restaurant somehow added extra things to my order and charged my card another $ 10.
On top of that, they’ve charged my friend’s card $ 5 more than what the menu online had said.
To make things worse, the food wasn’t even as good as some of my coworkers people claimed it to be. Sub-​par sushi at its finest.
Also, if you like customer service, this isn’t the place to go. The staff there are most definitely condescending.
I definitely do NOT recommend this place to anyone. There are much better sushi restaurants in town.

I’m not a sushi expert at all. I honestly am not even a sushi fan. But my wife makes me eat it on occasion. That being said, Samurai Sushi is decent but not great. I feel it’s overpriced for what you get. But the sushi we ordered was very flavorful. I had some problems though. The Miso soup was not very good and the Japanese waitress kind of mocked me when I initially asked for a spoon before realising you drink it straight from the bowl. I’m sorry I’m not Japanese and am unfamiliar with your customs! Lol!
I ordered a Sake and it came out with dried out peas? I was confused. Do you eat these with the Sake… they were inedible. I also noticed the fabric chairs were filthy. I didn’t even want to sit down.
Hard to rate this place. 3 stars? Sure. Probably won’t be back. Maybe if I learn Japanese I’ll fit in better smh

I love this sushi spot! The best creative and unique rolls in town. I usually get the Hot Night Roll, the Muldoon Roll, and the Alaska Orgasm Roll. Their fried rice is also phenomenal! The sushi chefs are always friendly and funny. This time they even made us a special desert. The presentation and preparation are always on point. I highly recommend you bring a friend and check out this gem of a place in the heart of Muldoon!

This place was the shit. It really took me back to feudal Japan with how delicious the food was. Millions of sushi rolls and combos, you’d be crazy not to experiment! Price seemed cheaper than what you’d expect from the portions and the waiting staff was extremely professional and attentative. ⁵⁄₅ would Unilocal again. They also gave us fried oreos on the house!

Had a great lunch, friendly staff, I had the volcano and a friend had the hot night both were excellent… I would recommend to anybody, I like the specialties they offer…

This is one of my absolute favorite sushi places in town. I love to go here for a spicy fix. The service is great, atmosphere is comfortable and the sushi is great and fresh. Prices are good for sushi.
I’ve never had a bad experience here and I have been often.

I got the japchae and samurai roll. Both were really delicious ! My friend got the beef box and the portion was big. She really enjoyed it as well. Will definitely come back if we’re in the mood for sushi!

Always got great service from this place. The food is amazing. Was one of my favorite places to go to back in Alaska.

Been eating here for a few years. Consistently very good food and service. Enjoy the sushi and other menu items. Highly recommend.

3.5 stars! Exceeded my expectations. Fresh ingredients and presentation won this sushi spot 3.5 stars. Still, it didn’t beat favorite sushi restaurant in terms of menu items, service and ambience.
As for the food…
My roll was good. It wasn’t as delicate as some varieties of the same till I’ve had in the past. I forget the name but it was the roll without sushi rice and wrapped in cucumber. I recommend this for anyone who loves the roll minus the rice!
My dad’s bulgogi was tasty but way too oily. If have to say the same for the tempura. It had a great crunch but too much batter and it was very oily.
The gyoza was delicious and so was the salmon skin salad.

Great food, awesome atmosphere, amazing service. Highly recommend this place if you’ve never been

My favorite place for sushi in my 3 years here. My favorites are probably the Hot Night Roll and the 007 Roll. We went here when my parents where up for a nice dinner out and they are always great. Friendly and helpful on helping choose the perfect roll. And of course tasty. Mmm Mmm Mmmm

Had lunch here and was delightedly surprised. I ordered the Hot Night roll, my friend got the Alaskan Orgasm roll.
It was a typical sushi lunch, started with miso soup and ended happily full.
I would suggest this place to friends, everything tastes fresh and the customer service was great.
Check it out!

I love this place. They have changed owners since I first began going there but the sushi is larger then most places, and consistently good. I always get the «Alaskan Orgasm Roll» it is so good, and comes with a small salad. I’m always full afterwards and never order anything else because I love that roll so much. Service is fast and polite. Be forwarned though, if you go close to closing and hang out, they will drop the heat in the building and turn up the music to drive you out. Still highly recommend this place though. They have a ton of special rolls, the «Hot nights roll» is very good too.

Samurai is a pretty fun spot. A good selection of traditional and locally-​inspired items. The service has always been pretty quick and attentive, and definitely very friendly. The food comes comes out fast and is always great. I’m a sucker for engaging marketing, so I’ve always tried the locally themed items and have never been disappointed. The Alaska, Alaska Orgasm, Elmendorf, and Sleeping Lady are all great.
It’s close to the base and I’ve spoken with a number of servicemen and women who insist that Samurai is their favorite in town. Considering the number of options available, that definitely says something.
Food prices are pretty standard for the area, but drinks are on the low end for sure. Sodas are $ 1.50 which is pretty much unheard of around here, beers start at 4.95, and sake at I believe 6.50. All pretty reasonable.
They have party trays which are decently priced and offer good selections, as well as children’s options, both of which aren’t always available at some of the competitors’ places.
Definitely worth a visit!

My friends and I have started coming here weekly it is that good. The service is soo friendly, and we’ve yet to order a roll that wasn’t exceptional. Easily my favorite sushi joint in Anchorage. My favorite rolls: potato, elmendorf, hot night, and Viagra.

Had I only had the sushi I would have given the full 5 stars, but I went and ordered from the kitchen as well…
Had the Kalbi combo lunch. Obviously the tempura here is shipped in and the vegetables were frozen… they made a decent attempt at heating then but failed…
The Kalbi was great!
Soup great!
All 3 rolls we ordered were excellent!
The sushi chef was an artist, comedian and all around knew what he was doing.
