"I had come to Samurai a few times before the pandemic and it was a great experience. I wanted to try again since I had time and wanted to have great food and experience. Man, I was wrong! When I came to the restaurant, it was about 6:00 and it wasn't busy. I give him two stars because the food was good. When we entered, it seemed like there was a waitress who is inexperienced or new. She sat me and my wife downstairs and then we asked after her drink menu she said they had Saki or beer. I asked her if she was still making cocktails and she informed me that they didn't do that anymore. This waitress was rude when she said it. We told her we were stuck with water and she left. It took 15 minutes to come back and take our order, we ordered the food and at this point the restaurant began to fill. We ordered 4 rolls and sashimi and it took about 35 minutes until the food finally comes. The waitress did not know which roles where and what were missing 2 roles. We started eating our food and about 20 minutes later we got our other 2 reels I understand it was busy. The waitress wasn't aware how we didn't get soy sauce when we asked and forgot them. I had to ask the bus for some and she didn't see us. The other waitress came and checked us instead. We had asked her for the bill so we could go. Our waitress had us wait for about 15 minutes and another 15 minutes until she was picked up after 15 minutes. I signed it with additional tip because we know that tips are important. The food and the other waitress was helpful. The waitress who served us must get a proper training and know how to treat customers, at least be kind. The food was okay, like I didn't say anything special, like it was. This place used to a city favorite now it is a disappointment. I'm gonna go somewhere else for sushi from now on."
