Soowoo Japanese Steakhouse Reviews

A place I will recommend any one food is great the service the staffs excellent

The taste of the food is impressive, they prepare it in front of you at your table and it is an excellent experience

Food is always tasty but for this visit the server was amazing, Julius was attentive, friendly and on time with everything. Great job!

The food was great, but our server left a lot to be desired. She rarely spoke or felt the need to refill our waters. It was my first time here and everyone raved about how amazing it usually is. The table next to us, their chef put on a show and invited them to be a part of his cooking. Our chef just prepared our food as quickly and as quietly as he could.

Been coming to the Samurai since I was a kid and while the restaurant has changed its layout, the food has always remained consistent. Everything on the menu is delicious and the service is on point, your water will never be empty. Chef's are great and they always interact with the table. The later in the evening you arrive, the longer the wait will be. I have never been for lunch, but here the lunch specials are an amazing deal. Free valet parking

Since Covid-19, Samurai has went down. The prices have went up with smaller portion sizes. I ordered food from them last night and the shrimp still had the tails on them with very little steak, shrimp, and chicken portions (Samurai Treat). My dining experience has been great in the past but if we are left with their take-out option only, I don't see this restaurant staying in business.

They not good no more, you spend your money all year in samurai and they stop giving you your birthday gift card!!!! Don't e-mail corporate thier not answer. So I not going to keep going there it's not that serious.

The food was delicious and the servers were very on point. I think is one of those places were you get what you pay for.

Samurai was very good and they sing to you in Japanese for your birthday

The food was delicious. Unfortunately, I felt rushed. After the food was cooked and placed on our plates, the man came put and stacked the takeout containers in front of us. Also, they should change their way they accept a birthday certificate. They should accept the email on the phone. Not all of us have printers.

Very rich chef food with acrobatics and excellent recipe

One of the best Hibachi table restaurants in Miami-Dade County. Their red plum sangria is delicious and the chefs make your lunch or dinner more enjoyable. Best place to share with family and friends.

The nicest staff and the most amazing, affordable priced food. I love this place.

Been going to Samurai restaurant since Young when they used to have coupons on Sundays buy one get one free. Excellent fresh food fun place to go to with a family

great experience good food good fun we had to wait 30 min but it was worth it will go again

Everything thing as excellent. I would highly recommend. To everyone.

Food was super. Staff are excellent. Very clean place. I definitely recommend this place. Oh and free valet parking too!

very unique Japanese restaurant with great showmanship and tasty meals

Perfect as always. The only thing that would make it better is allowing reservations.

Loved going to this place years ago when we lived in miami so I decided to take my son for his birthday for a special treat. Service sucked, food was mediocre and prices were super high for what you get. The place is so cramped you can barely move around. The only good thing I can say is that they are quick to get you in and out. Definitely wont be going back here.

Nice experience and exquisite food. The first attention. I recommend this restaurant

I have been coming here for over 35 years. Never have I been sick. The BOMB

Visit Sonny at the bar for the best experience. They have an excellent cocktail menu that will make the dining experience much more enjoyable regardless of which stranger you are sat next to at the teppanyaki grill.

The food is superb. Service is excellent where they refilled my drink several times, so I didn't have to ask for one. The show is entertaining. Totally worth every penny.

Got this email about food curbside delivery. Well prepare to wait. I made the mistake of doing groceries before my pick up. I been waiting more than 30 minutes. If you are scheduling pick up time, they should be somehow accurate
If you are not going to be accurate you should disclaim this.

Very entertaining and their food was great. Its the only place I will eat fried rice. The steak is fresh and high quality. Fast seating and valet on a Sunday at 2pm.

Samurai never fails to please. The food is always great and cooked to order right at your table. The seafood is very good and the meats are fresh. You won't leave hungry.

The only real downside is parking. They offer valet parking, but even that is not a great solution.

Good food they'll cook infront of you.you leave smelling like a chef.

I like this restaurant very much. there is a nice mood. The food is tasty. the service is efficient and the waiters are trained. The pay is fair. I highly recommend.

Terrible experience. Ordered for takeout received raw uncooked vegetables not even edible. The steak was hard and the chicken was like playdoo. I didn t enjoy my experience with them last night. Usually their food is amazing but not yesterday. Rice barely had seasoning and no garlic butter. Won t be coming back.

This is one of the best restaurants I've been to. It has become one of my favorites.

The food is amazing the tricks are amazing and over the top overall

Food tastes very good . Most of the time the place is full , waiting time from 30 to 1hr.Itsn't cheap but at least 1 time you can try it.

This review Is absolutely not about the food or service. Is about the imposed valet parking. Why do you make patrons valet when there is plenty of space in the back of the building? It was not always like this. I m sure more people are bothered by this.

The Valet Parker stole a $250 gift card from car. ughhh

Always pack, good food but bring a jacket if you are planing to seat by the sushi bar, cold!!!

So to Start off my review i would like to bring up the way they are handling partys with covid still going on. My party would have filled 1 table but they said NO we had to be split in 2 that where were only 4 people allowed on a table and will be sitting across from each other. I seen 5 people at a table sitting right next to each other then 2 other tables with 2 different partys. They rather sit you with strangers then your own party. My waitress was a little out of it (maybe having a bad day which happens to everyone) and the manager that came to our table didn't seem to care much with the issues some of us were having with our drinks .Now the only good thing from that evening was Chef Alexander with his cooking skilled and interacting food came out great. (Very nice) And i enjoyed my food But service wasn't there.. my 2 stars are for the Chef.

Great facility, spent a good time there. Wait times were a bit long, but it was a good time all round.

I hate to sit with people I don t know on the table and to pretend that I m okay with it but that s how hibachi works I guess. I love the service.

Best restaurant in all of Florida. It might be a little pricey but it is definitely worth it. Chefs are amazing and are kind. Great place to go with family and friends for any occasion.

Chef Jayme (the tall one) was excellent. Everything on point, the seasoning and cooked as requested. Thank you Jayme, you made my birthday special.

This is a magical place very good attention and exquisite food CONGRATULATIONS to that Restaurant and all its workers

It is a place different from the others with its own characteristics, this makes it exotic and at the same time of the interest of many. The food in general spectacular .....

Una de las mejores comidas de la ciudad. Todo te lo hacen al momento, comida fresca y excelente servicio. The best.

The cook took about 30 minutes to show up. The food was not well seasoned. There was way too much time in between dishes he was preparing. The pictures they advertise in the front counter were nothing like what I received on my plate. I'm not coming back. Not recommendable at all.

I came in with my gf and was told the wait was going to be 1 to 1.5 hours. We decided to stay and were called in 20 minutes. The food was fresh, hot ( ), and the server was attentive.

The show was not good. The chef spent most of the time talking to a buddy seated at the end of the table. The food was good but we were not allowed to order from the lunch menu although it was lunch time and they are just a bit pricier than some of the other hibachi places which is real disappointing. If they were better, I would visit them more often than just once a year.

Hands down, the most dynamite duo I ve ever experienced in any restaurant setting has been our server Alex and chef Robert. Very attentive, very personable and socialize well, their service was amazing. It was truly an amazing experience!!!

Great place and Chefs are showmen ! Down side waut cn get up to 2hrs on weekends and holidays.

I had the work christmas dinner in this place was very nice , the little show while cooking the food was great , the food itself was very good , i had a good time .. cheers

An old and popular Miami favorite, wasn't really feeling the presentation of the salad - extremely old lettuce, not presented well at all. Still the food was great and full of flavor!

Wonderful Food along with Wonderful Service!!! It is also Family oriented!!! Come on out!!!

Ali our chef for today was amazing! Thank you guys!!!

We went to try their lunch specials and let me tell you, they have great deals on those.

For a little less than $30 my daughter and I had a fresh and delicious Tepanyaki lunch.

We each had a soup, chicken, and rice.

The device was extremely goo and they took care of my food allergies.

The chef was so much fun.

Great place for the entire family.

Simplemente......ESPECTACULAR
Maravillosa Atencion y la comida muy, pero muy rica.

Hibachi Grill. Good Food. Very Entertaining And Fun. Love Their Shrimp Sauce!!

Not sure how this restaurant has stayed in business for so long. The food is so-so, not cooked by Japanese chefs (.inimal show while preparing food) and the price is pricey. Two persons in my party got diarrhea before leaving the restaurant. Need I say more?

The food was good. The Chef was in a hurry and did not do a how like I am used to seeing. My lobster was over cooked. Over all it was ok. The people are very nice

Pickup service from here during the Covid pandemic has been horrendous, we placed our order and received a notification that it was ready for pick up. They then had us wait in the parking lot for 2 hours before bringing our order. When we asked for updates or an ETA, the two ladies working were extremely rude and just kept saying go back to your car and wait, it'll come when it comes. We had already prepaid or else we would have just left.

Dont know where to start but first an hour and so waiting to be seating. Then waiter busy on other table to start with drinks. Even soup and salad took time to arrive
And the worst the cook. Had to be a beginner told curly blond hair. White. Interactions poor. Anyhow all table was tire of waiting. Even the table that was seated after us finish before us
WhT the hell. Shrimp and scallops were dried and chewy . Management needs to pay attention to this. After this .not even the 30 dollars to celebrate my birthday there would make me comeback. Drove 35 minutes to come to samurai and maybe be last time. Need to hire more cooks. Has to wait for a cook . So just waiting was 2 hours. Horrible

Excellent Japanese style teppan yaki style grilled! The place is very welcoming and the attention is excellent. The only thing is that on weekends you have to wait a long time to sit down ... you should think about expanding the place or solving this in some way because sometimes you have to wait up to 1 hour to be able to eat.

Great food and place for lunch and dinner. Our chef was amazing

Fantastic food, great entertainment, big portions a bit pricey but worth it
