fun night out

The food was nicely presented and the restaurant is decorated nicely. However, the food did not taste as good as it looks. The ""4"" assortment dish of sashimi was not as good as ...

Increase the volume for raw fish 9/27/2002

Great place to hang out with friends while talking loudly. Very crowded. Food was good - not great. Very trendy. Not good for dates or small children. Good raspberry mohito. Pros: good location Cons: loud, crowded more

Just Do It 8/24/2002

I have gone to this place more than 6 times in the past 3 months. The drinks are AMAZING. The savichi dishes are the beauty of this place and are eaten by people who don't really eat sushi. Also, they have specials that add to the menu of excellent dishes. Finally the deserts are excellent and keep up with the unique style of the other dishes on the menu. Overall, I recommend that this restaurant is worth the cost for the experience! Pros: Drinks, Great Special Dishes, Deserts Cons: Crowded, A bit pricey more

Great Food & Service! -at least at lunch 8/7/2002

I was hesitant to go here...after reading all of the complaints on service. However walking past at 12:30, the sushi bar looked fairly open, so I stopped in, and in a time period of 45 minutes had a great lunch at a good price....not sure how dinner would be, but can't do much better for sushi at lunch. more

Good food, lousy service 7/31/2002

I love this place, frankly; the food is great and the mojitos are the best I've had outside of Havana. However, the service is horrible. Sushi Samba has a problem honoring reservations (we waited 45 minutes for a table the last time we were there, even though we'd booked the reservation a couple weeks previously), the waiters have too many tables so the service is not very ""personal"", and the hostess staff has a haughty attitude that I could do without. more

Another one to love... 7/25/2002

I can't decide if I love this one better than its sister restaurant downtown but either way I love the restaurants. The food is good and the drinks even better... If you love caipirinhas, this is the place to have them. more

if you can tolerate the crowd 7/10/2002

If you have the stomach for the ""hosts"" who basically act like they're manning the velvet rope at some oversubscribed ny club, then you have to stomach the crowd. You'll be perfectly happy if you're a twenty-something corporate wannabe hoping to meet a ""babe"", but if that type gives you hives then stay away. If you're not angry and revolted by the time you get a table, then you'll have decent (nothing to brag about) food that is incredibly overpriced (even for sushi). The best thing this place has going for it is the roof deck, though after 5 minutes in this place, you may want to jump off. more

Horrible! 6/26/2002

My friends and I went for a quick afternoon lunch break, and we were seated very quickly. However, it was all downhill from there. We had to wait 30 min. in between courses, and then they brought out our desserts before bringing out the main courses! Our waiter never even came over to let us know what was going on! Only when I called him over, did he tell us the computers were down. Gee, thanks for letting us know. And when one of my friends had to leave early b/c our lunch was already taking over 2 hours before our main courses, they apparently gave her the wrong dish to take with her. On top of that, the manager never came over to apologize... There's more to write, but can't fit it all in. An absolute fiasco. Never going back! Sushi Samba 7, however, is a lot better. Pros: Nice lighting Cons: Service more

Overrated Oriental 5/28/2002

If this is the 8th best sushi place is the city, then I am going to start making my own sushi. The sushi was subpar at best and rather bland. The service was okay because no one was in there around lunch time. I wouldn't venture back to Sushi Samba unless someone paid me. Cons: Sushi more

Samba Snooty 5/27/2002

The food was acceptable, the portions small, and the waiter was into himself way more than his customers. Some of the greatest iced tea, but don't assume the refills are free. When the check came, we were shocked at the $21 total. Pros: ambience Cons: snooty waiter, Small, crowded bar more

not for the food 5/21/2002

Go here for drinks (mojitos and martinis) and the scene, if you're into that. But the food? Overpriced and tiny portions. For example, sushi rolls, many of which run about $12-13, are of equal size and quality as Japanese places that would only charge half that much. I remember spending about $25 for about 3 oz. of decent sea bass. Desserts, however, are very good and creative. Decor is very trendy and chic. It's better for a night out with a few friends--it gets a little too loud if you're looking for a place to take a date for a quiet dinner. Overall, it's one of those places that I would recommend going to just to see what it's like, but not for return visit. more

cheesy sushi? 5/20/2002

I was taken aback by the inclusion of cheese in one of the sushi combos; turned out to be a pleasant surprise. more
