Samurai Sam’s

If you want a straight up Teriyaki bowl, this is your place. Everything is cooked well. Fresh veggies and tasty meat. Their teriyaki sauce is on point, a bit on the sweet side which I like. The only reason I don’t give it a 5 is that the inside doesn’t appear very cleanly so not sure how carful they are with their food. Fact of the matter is this, if you want a teriyaki bowl, this place won’t disappoint.

Samurai Sam’s is the best! I’ve gotten addicted thanks to my coworkers. It’s located in a nondescript location mini mini mall close to my work, so we frequent at least 1−2x every few weeks. The owner (Sam?) is almost always at this location to greet your lunchtime palate. Each of the tables are «reserved» for certain persons, my guess is super-​repeating customers. Just shows you how much he values any customer.
If you think this is just a «local version» of a Panda, THINK WRONG. When you’re eating a dark meat chicken yakisoba bowl, you’re not stuffing your face with a month’s worth of sodium… wholesome & delish chicken, noodles & veggies instead! A bowl will run you $ 7 – 10 depending in what you order and size. If you’re feeling extra hungry, go for a grilled egg roll or the rangoons.

Don’t let the appearance fool you! It really hits spot for teriyaki! Text them and you get some pretty cool specials!

very bad compared to the one on via Linda. Grossing got a burnt egg roll and the rice was over cooked. The egg rolls must have been one of those 5 hr egg rolls. They sit there all day until they sell them. The microwave the things before they serve. I wish I could give them a 0.

Highly recommend the spicy white meat chicken bowl with veggies. The food is always fresh off the grill and bowls are made to order. Friendly staff and owner. This place is a regular stop for me anytime I’m in the Scottsdale Airpark area.
Next time you’re in the area stop in, you won’t be disappointed.

Steve and Alex are awesome. High quality customer service and even better food!
Get the steak bowl!

I’m giving this 3 stars because the quality and taste of food is good… I seriously don’t know why I keep going here because the owner is not nice. He is so rude and every time I leave there, I’m muttering under my breath at what a jerk he is

Small place, maybe room for a dozen sitting customers so i got mine to go. Food is good i think i dealt with the owner, he was really nice all his employees seemed to be in a good mood which made for a pleasant atmosphere the 3 minutes i waited for my food. To recap, good food, nice staff and good prices. 4 stars. Thanks!

Thank You Steve, you are the true definition of OWNER OPERATED, I am a fan for sure.
I have been eating here for 5 years, and you are there always making sure your customers are happy, You must know 10,000 people by name.
And this is one of my weekly lunch habits. original small bowl, dark meat chicken «veggies on the side» YEPPP! I love a good Teriyaki Bowl.

I have physically been in this location to order a meal, and my company uses them regularly to cater 200 chicken or steak teriyaki bowls. They always do a great job. The food is always fresh, hot and delicious. No complaints about Samurai Sam’s or their delicious eggrolls.

The teriyaki chicken bowl was full of flavor. Lots of fresh veggies and chicken, with rice cooked to perfection. This is a tiny place that seats about 15−20… Much more the lunch place when you’re looking for something quick, tasty, and good for you. I didn’t like the eggroll, though. It had lots of flavor but tasted freeezer burned. Ick. Definitely worth going to if you’re in the area.
