Samurai Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar

This is a nice place to eat, and has the added bonus of not having long wait times. So if you were going to eat at Miyabi's and the wait was too long, you can come here instead. The ambiance is kind of cheap in comparison, the cooks aren't as fun, and the quality of the chicken isn't as good, but I can live with that.
We've eaten both at a table and at the grill. The grill cooks didn't perform many tricks, but they were efficient. On the plus side, you can order food from the hibachi grill even when you're just sitting at a table, although the table service we had was awful.
The third time I ate here I had some bites of chicken that were bad enough that I had to spit them into my napkin, but that's the first time that's ever happened to me. Maybe it was an off night? No one I ate with had this problem.
So overall, A-OK. The problem is that most places in Fayetteville outright suck, so in comparison, this is actually a great place to eat.

This was the first restaurant that my wife and I went to upon arriving in Fayetteville. Our first visit the food was good, the service was decent and the prices were reasonable considering that it is Hibachi. Several months later we returned for my wife's birthday with a few friends. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was very busy. Instead of waiting for a grill to open up we chose to sit at one of the tables in order to have some privacy and in order to get our food somewhat quicker as apposed to waiting for room at a table to open up. We waited 2 AND A HALF HOURS for some of our food! I asked for the manager after about an hour and talked with her. She told me "Your food will be right out please be patient." Being understanding and noticing how busy they were I took it at face value and sat back down. 30 minutes later I asked for the manager again and ended up having to confront her that my table still did not have any of our food. She said she would take one of the meals off of my ticket and that she would make sure that the food was out soon. 30 minutes later I brought it up again and at this point the manager started to get irritated with me and said "I have already agreed to take one of your meals off of your ticket what more do you want me to do?" In the end we got some of our food 2 hours and 30 minutes after we ordered it.



I ordered the Steak with no vegetables other than onion and noodles. The plate I received was quite literally HALF A PLATE of onions and half a plate of steak. Several other orders at our table were wrong. The food came out at all different times. The waitress was not capable of refilling drinks, or even getting the items that my table requested after our food arrived. In the end myself my wife and our friends ended up getting to-go boxes and leaving. We will not be returning EVER. If you are looking for good Hibachi then i would suggest that you dont bother looking in the Fayetteville area. ALL are well below par. Go to Carry or Raleigh and eat there!

very nice place to eat and affordable for the amount of food you end up with......my daughter loves the fire and the chefs...they are very nice.
