Love this place! Way better than sake hands down. Everyone is really nice and helpful and makes you feel like family. You should try the Yokitori chicken!!! My favorite.

It’s ok. The first couple times I went there right after they opened was very good, but since then the rice was all mushy and gross. Sake is much better and literally 2 seconds up the road

This place looks very suspect from the outside and even from the inside to be honest. But a lot of tasty hole in the wall joints will look that way. Service was friendly and attentive and we received our food quickly. Nothing too special, but everything was pretty good all around. I had the egg rolls and the chicken, steak, and shrimp hibachi combo. They got an extra star for their extra friendly service, for not being stingy with the white sauce, and for letting us hang out a bit after our meal to finish our meeting.

Nope. the service was strange and the writing on the bill was not legible or correct. The carrots were shockingly horrible and the«fried rice» was sour. Will not ever eat there again.

Service was good, but I would not return for the food. The sushi was pretty meh, and the teriyaki chicken and brown rice left me with a bit of a weird aftertaste. No alcohol either. Won’t see me back there.

This is the first time I have ever came to this restaurant and I am very unhappy already. I didn’t even eat here yet. I gave them a bad rating because today I came through drive thru, there was a car in front of me that was pulled up and nobody even came to the window to help, the open sign was off– so I figured they were closed but wait why are there people walking in and dining in? Why does your website say you close at 10pm on Thursday? I pulled out of line at 9:44pm After I got to Sake Express I called this restaurant and asked what time they close and the lady said«we close at 9:30 everyday» I then asked«why does your website say 10pm» she changed the subject and said«what did you want» I ONLYWANTED4 cream roll! She said«ok come back and come in and get it» I most definitely DIDNOTCOMEBACK! Stop acting like Sake because they will put their customers first before their closing hour!

Tasteless swill, basically a Chinese take out place with a dining room. Sweet carrots are disgusting, overcooked and so sweet they made my teeth hurt. We asked for the hot yellow mustard packets and she brought us a ton that were all a weird color and had separated in the packets. My BF opened one and tasted it, it was sour. Gross. Waitress was nice but completely in the weeds once people started coming in(no siracha for us). Wall next to our booth was dirty with old food. Urp… I’m sure I’ll pay for this later.

I love this place, good food, great service. the staff is nice, I disagree with the other review, I don’t think giving the check before customers finish their food is rushing them. i don’t mind that at all.

I have been a frequent customer of Sake Express for a long time. However, Lucky Samurai has won me over. The seasoning of the food is very good. My order was great I had a chicken dish with peppers and onions and other sorts of good tasting stuff. I tried this dish from the recommendation of the owner and I was pleased. They are always very friendly and at tentative to their guests. They always engage and try to get to know me as a customer. That’s why I keep going back.

Pleasantly surprised. Not a fancy place by far, but the food was delicious. Server was so nice and very attentive. Had the Hibachi low carb chicken. Highly recommend it.

Lucky has some of the best sushi I’ve had in a while. I recommend Lucky to people all the time and eat there on a regular basis.

Stopped here on our way from VA to GA for a quick late lunch, per Unilocal and Google reviews. The reviews didn’t lie; it was very slow in there mid-afternoon, extremely fast courteous service, and the food was served in minutes. We had chicken egg rolls, teriyaki beef, and teriyaki tofu. All very fresh and so good!!! Happy tummies here! :D OH, and they have a drive-through!!!

Great food, exactly how I ordered. Lo carb, light oil. Better habachi, atmosphere, and prices than Saki. Did not try sushi. One suggestion would be fresh carrots as an option instead of sweet carrots with lo carb meal.

I have eaten at Lucky Samurai many times. Each time is just as excellent. In many ways they are just like Sake except the quality of the food is better. The menu and price are about the same but the sushi is 10 times better! I also like their plate Niku Kare I think. The chicken that is cooked with the pineapples is delicious! There are also better combination meals available. Yes, it is not as crowded as Sake Express but don’t be deceived! I always choose Lucky Samarai when I want some sushi.

Very good and inexpensive. As good as some of the more expensive Japanese steakhouses I’ve been to. One thing though, they did rush us out. We had our check before we were done with our food. A big no-no when eating out.

Not bad, but it didn’t jump out at me. There are tons of hibachi style Japanese restaurants around the Gaston/Cleveland area and Lucky Samurai was pretty average. Better than Yamato’s but not as good as Japanese Express in Shelby, Sake Express, or the now closed Mizuki in Shelby. The food was pretty standard with not much differentiating it from anywhere else. Everyone was friendly and the service was quick. I also really like the design of the building and the decoration inside. I’d definitely be willing to give this place another chance, though.

I was a big fan of Sake Express when it was at this location, but this place is just as good if not better! I had the yakitori chicken with broccoli and it was cooked perfectly. There was enough for me to have leftovers afterwards and the cream cheese rolls are delicious! Service was fast, friendly, and the prices were not too high for what you get. I’ll definitely eat here again.
