Stepping into Japan Samurai, you're welcomed by a warm, unpretentious vibe that hints at many shared meals and lively gatherings.

Whether you’re settling in for a casual dinner or a small celebration, the atmosphere feels alive but approachable, a space where the pace slows just enough to savor both flavors and moments.

The heart of Japan Samurai is undoubtedly its hibachi experience. Here, the interplay between guests and chefs unfolds like a quiet performance, with skillful knife work and playful tricks sparking smiles. The sizzling sound of steak or chicken on the grill mingles with the comforting aroma of perfectly cooked vegetables and the subtle lift of rice steamed just right. For sushi lovers, selections arrive fresh and vibrant, crafted with care that reflects genuine respect for the ingredients and tradition.

This local spot balances familiarity with a touch of excitement — the kind of place where the team behind the counter is known by name and where service feels like catching up with an old friend. The lighting and décor may not steal the show, but the warmth of genuine hospitality more than fills the room. It’s inviting for families, groups, and those who appreciate a lively shared experience over formal precision.

Whether it’s a weekday lunch or weekend dinner, Japan Samurai has a dependable rhythm that makes each visit feel like returning home. It’s a place that reminds you why comfort food and thoughtful company together create some of the most satisfying moments in dining out.

The food was really good and I had the hibachi steak and veggies and fried rice. The decor is old so don’t go if you’re trying to have a fancy date. They had amazing service and the chef did an awesome job! The downside is they don’t have noodles. At least that’s what the lady told me who took the order, that since they bought it a year ago they don’t have noodles, so that was disappointing bc noodles are my favorite part of the dish and their menus say they have noodles. They also dont have clear soup, just the miso and their vegetables are lame. Just cabbage and a few slices of carrots and that’s it. No zucchini no squash no mushrooms, they actually don’t have mushrooms there he said so I’m not sure but what food we did get was pretty good. I’d go back if someone asked me to go there but I wouldn’t go there on my own accord, but again just bc some of my favorite stuff they don’t seem to serve. We did go on a Wednesday morning when they first opened up for the day.

I celebrated my birthday here with 18 guests. The food was delicious and had great flavor. The chefs were entertaining. The prices were good. I will return.

I had the Sushi Deluxe and I had the best sushi I’ve ever had. They make food in front of you and do cool tricks while you wait. The sushi doesn’t include that tho. But the staff was amazing and super kind. So I fully recommend this place without hesitation

Food was great. Ordered over the phone. Order was correct and made fresh. No complaints and will be ordering again.

My wife and I LOVE Japan Samurai! The owners are amazing, the food is fantastic, service is fast, and the ambiance is nice and cozy. We have tried every hibachi restaurant in the Hampton Roads area and this one is by far our favorite! You won’t regret coming here!

Food was good, the chef has a great sense of humor. BEWARE. You are sat at a table (for Habachi) with total strangers and then charged an automatic 18% gratitude for being in a group. The sushi was delicious and the staff were very nice.
