Soowoo Japanese Steakhouse Reviews

Food is great! The wait time to get a table is insane!! They do not take reservations either..

By far my nephew's favorite place to go! Fortunately, the food is still 'fresh' as it is made right in front of you. It'd be nice if the cooks learned a few new tricks, as it's been years since something new was presented (the volcano trick is expected each time). We go there every so often, when we want really fresh food made to order.

Some of the chefs here completely bootleggers. They don't even follow the recipes right. I don't mind spending money on a great meal but definitely Samurai is overrated. I hate feeling ripped off.

This place is always pack, Thats how good the food is.. The shrip sauce is a must have

The best time to go is during lunch time price is reasonable. Food is good.

Doing a great job with take out curbside service while the inside is shut down for Covid restrictions. Orders are ready quickly and are accurate, portions are generous, and service is cheerful.

Their chefs do an amazing job at providing great food and service to guests by showing performance while they cook in front of their guests. They wait can be long depending on dinner time hours, but the food is amazing and tasteful

Food was cold.
Manager was rude.
Service horrible.

Gets really busy. The wait can be an hour to get a table. The food is delicious.

Awesome cooks and their mojito drinks are one of the best!

Delicious! I celebrated my sister's birthday dinner at this restaurant. We were seated pretty quickly despite there being a lot of people at the time we arrived! We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area. Overall, it was a great experience with family. Thank you!

2 hr wait on a Sunday and won t take reservation. NEVER AGAIN. No parking, long waits. Servers constantly get things wrong. Gone downhill over the past year. Going to another restaurant where their lunch crew works.

Disappointing with management. I went to bathroom and toilet was broken, clogged up and also paper towel dispenser broken too so I took the liberty and unplugged the disgusting toilet myself. I brought this to the manager's attention and he asked to go to bathroom and show him which I did then instead of handling it professinally all he said was "sorry battery was bad" the Manger was incompetent and did nothing. Far as food and service...it was mediocre. I wouldn't recommend it.

The food was good. One of my favorites places to eat in South Miami.

Have been coming here for years never disappoints. Food is absolutely top notch with great entertainment, perfect to celebrate birthdays and any other occasion , highly recommend this place.

Best place to eat for a special occasion or just a full meal for lunch or dinner

Love the food here. Wait time is always long but turns out to be worth it.

Good Food lunch menu was a little bit pricey other than that it is good place

My favorite hibachi restaurant great food and very clean and friendly place you get five stars

The samurai Japanese resturant needs improve cleaning the bathrooms were a mess and dirty. The food wasn't that great. The lady serving us was coughing in the bag our food was going . Costumer service was great just needs to fix some issues

Entertainment & Great food,
The wait was worth it.

Outstanding. Always cooked right. The chefs make it fun

Excellent in every way, the food was delicious and everybody enjoyed it (party of 7). The service was tops and the wait wasn t long.

Nice lunch specials and happy hour. Reservation suggested Friday-Sunday nights. Bring a coat! It's cold inside.

Good restaurant excellent food but I'm giving it a one start because of the ballet, they have the parking lot set up like an obstacle course, i ran over a few sticks and they all came out yealling at me, like im supposed to have their obstacle course figure out before showing up, good food, bad parking...

Great food and service. If only it wasn't always so packed!

Awesome! I've been coming here for years. Yes, the cooks are from Hialeah, not japan, but hey, they cook well.

It's cheaper, more food, and easier to get into than the alternative place.

Alex Carballo was beyond helpful!!! The food was delicious but the way Alex treat customer is OUTSTANDING!!!! I will definitely come back and ask for ALEX CARBALLO!!! Thank you!!!

My daughter and I always have special occasion celebrations here. As always they are great in every aspect. Last time they even called a cab for me. Had too many great drinks! Thanks guys

Great food, good drinks, awesome service, some feel they're a bit pricey but u get what u pay for which is good food

Excellent Service/ Excellent Food.. it's worth the wait time

Very good atmosphere, good service, good show and excellent food

It was my first time going out to that restaurant and I loved it.

Nothing compares to their shrimp sauce...soooo yummy!!

We had a 45 minute wait for a table, then another 30 minute wait for the cook, the restaurant was very busy. The filet, shrimp and chicken were cooked well and flavorful, as were the vegetables, but the rice was undercooked, hard and lacked flavor. Overall we can say the food experience was good. The other people sharing the table were loud and at times obnoxious so their behavior took away from the overall experience. Hopefully next time we'll enjoy it more!

I like this restaurant I go there quite often always crowded good food Hibachi is great

We waited over an hour for a table. Food wasnt as great as expected.

I LOVE THE AMBIENCE AND FOOD. THE PLUM WINE IS DELICIOUS TOO. AND I LOVE THE SUSHI. THEY COOK AND PREPARE THE FOOD RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. IT'S NICE....

Is never a disappointment coming here. I REALLY REALLY wish they had other locations! I live by North Miami SeaShore and I come all the way here because if my favorite restaurant. We ve celebrated many birthdays here and get together. The customer service the cooks is just all amazing!! Please open up other locations! Benihana is OK but nothing like Samurai!!!!

Even during this horrible time of COVID you can count on great food from Samurai. I called in my order and picked it up about 25 to 30 minutes later. As always, the customer service was fantastic!! The young lady who took my order was very patient and accommodating with my special order and the gentleman who brings out the food is just a really nice guy!! Of course, it's a bit pricey (for my family) but to get their great food and for a special meal, it's a wonderful option!!!

Most excellent meal experience. Incredible Staff and atmosphere.

Went their for my birthday and it was amazing. Love the food and the experience of having my food cooked in front of me by a chef.

Great place good food great atmosphere have eaten many a meals here kids loved it and there samurai sauce is the best .

It was my first time ever going to summer it and I loved it a lot never experienced someone cook in front of me in a restaurant but my honest opinion I loved it a lot.

My favorite restaurant, has been for 20+ years! Great food, friendly service. Nothing compares to their shrimp sauce!

A little pricey and very busy, so the wait is long but the food is worth the wait

The service here was excellent. Thanks Julia. And the food tasted good.

An unparalleled experience in the preparation of food and decent food and the person l

Pricey but the food is excellent. It's better than any of the competition.

Best place to enjoy entetainment in front of your eyes and amazing food

Delicious food, nice staff! we will come back soon!

Good food though my yakisoba noodles were too sweet. We all enjoyed our time at Samurai and Loo really entertained us while he cooked our food. Lose a star for being pricey even for lunch. Kids meal was about the same as an adult meal. I will go back though. They did give my daughter's friend an ice cream dessert since it was her birthday.

The wait was impossible on a Wednesday night, super slow service.
