Very good food with polite staffs! They have a range of things you can order that can satisfy your love for Japanese food. Further more, it isn't expensive, very affordable instead.
Staffs are pretty friendly and polite...food is unexpectedly acceptable 😬😬😬 and the price is great!!! Love it...definitely considered a cheap eat in the city, cheap yet edible 👍👍👍
Had dinner at Samurai Bowl on a Monday evening. Fantastic place! It wasn’t crowded and the staffs were friendly. The serving size is generous and food is yummilicious!
Its a paradise for Japanese food lovers . The place was quite busy during lunchtime when we reached however we enjoyed their hospitality ,food and ambiance. Good work guys !
I love this place. The spicy miso ramen is to die for. Amazing service and great atmosphere
One of my favourite Japanese restaurant in Christchurch
yummy food but their ramen is a bit salty.. good price and people were very welcoming.. the service was fast too even though it gets busy. hoping they improve their ramen because it is one of the best i've had so far..
Pretty average flavor, nothing really exceptional. They are cheaper than other Japanese restaurants in ChCh so you can't expect fine dining like Kinji.
Great food, service and atmosphere. I'd eat here again if I was back in Christchurch. Scollops and curry don were great. You finish a good meal like this and you feel great.
Samurai bowl has been around for quite a long time and fairly well known for their good food.
The ramen and rice dishes are one of the best Japanese options around Christchurch.
The price is also decent, which is a plus. Can be very busy, reservation will be recommended
Easy cheap and probably one of the best quick eating Japanese places in Christchurch. The fried chicken was surprising nice! Tbh their ramen broth is pretty average apart from their spicy miso ramen and I was upset that my tamago was not half cooked in the centre!
Loved the Vegan Yakisoba. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Simplistic setting and service but delicious food. Embrace the simple and just enjoy the great food.
Friendly staff, had a spicy miso ramen with pork.

I am happy with this friendly environment. The Ramen soup is so delicious and tasty. The curry was what I was expecting to my limits. I came on Thursday for dinner and was getting treated with the most nicest staff. There were two girls working. And she was very kind to me, the person who served me. I would recommend for lunch and dinner 😇
One of the tastiest and affordable Japanese eateries in the city centre. I always try to dine here at least once everytime I visit Christchurch. Love their gyudon, karaage and spicy miso ramen.
My first ramen in Christchurch, it was yum and pleasant. Affordable price, pretty much quick service since order to get food ready. Might be need to change little bit of atmosphere inside the for dine in.
Just went here today with my daughter and I would just like to say that it’s absolutely amazing. First the service is great , my daughter and I had a rough day And our server made us feel happier and feel welcomed which was good and made our day much better. Oh and THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! I had a ramen soup bowl that was so yummy the ramen broth was so tasty with just the right amount of spice and I added this nice ramen egg which really pairs greatly with the dish. My daughter had this Crispy Karaage Chicken on Rice meal which looked really delicious. She described it as Really, Really, Really, Really Good which must mean it was pretty good HAHA she ate it all up. Anyways I just think I had to write this review because this restaurant deserves all the best recognition it should have. Highly recommend!!!!
Food was delicious and came quickly.
Prices were expensive for the portion size.
I’m happy regardless, I visited just after 1pm, there was only two tables occupied.
I got the unagi don with a ramen egg and the karaage chicken (because I was fully aware of how small Japanese portions are) and I was full just right and not in a food coma. Total came to about $34, which is way more expensive than Maccas, but at least I got to eat eel and didn’t have to queue up for ages.
Tasty food, friendly service and when i thought that deserves 5 stars itself - i had their dessert of mocha ice cream with Azuki donut. My family had been hungry for more since then...
i haven't been to town samurai bowl much since the wairakei rd one opened, but we did recently and were blown away! awesome rich broth, perfect eggs and chashu. tried the new mayu ramen which was delicious ☺️ and of course the classic tonkotsu. don't forget to get it all topping!
some of the best ramen i have had in a while!! 🥲
I’ve just moved over from Melbourne and honestly this is one of the best ramens I’ve had outside of Japan! It’s No frills, sure, but big on flavor and these people know what they are doing.. it feels very homely. 💕 I work around the corner and will be adding this to my lunch time rotation!
