All expectations that I could have were beaten with their delicious dishes and their incredibly kind customer service. In that place you could feel extraordinary good vibes in the staff making any meal into a comfortable experience. The price is also well balanced with the quality of the food
Awesome place

Service was lovely and super efficient! I had the honey salmon as a main. The salmon fillet itself was well cooked, tender and soft. The honey sauce was nice but better balanced when I added some soy sauce to balance the intense sweetness of it. The lemon pieces were slightly cooked and its tartness went perfectly with the honey salmon - I recommend trying a small piece of lemon in the same mouthful as a piece of the salmon! Not too sure about the potato mash and green mash though, they definitely tasted pre cooked as they were lukewarm while the salmon was hot. The green one looked like pesto bit tasted a bit vague and more on the sweet side.

I tried Mad Samurai upon venturing through Snickel Lane so developed an urge for sashimi. Staff was super friendly and hospitable you would expect of Japanese restaurants, and I was warmly greeted and seated. The attentiveness of my waitress was impressive.

Given all the exciting items on this atypical Japanese lunch menu, I decided to try the vegetarian fresh spring rolls with sesame dressing, the tuna tataki with miso jello and the chicken katsu with kimchi mayo and konkatsu sauce on Japanese salad. I also enjoyed a glass of plum wine which was heavenly.

I thoroughly enjoyed the spring rolls and tataki. The salad with the katsu was fantastic to mask that the meat was slightly over fried and beyond golden. Overall, Mad Samurai was lovely and worth another visit.

A very boutique and intimate restaurant. The food prices are on the high side but we were very happy with the food. We had chicken karage, pork dumplings, chicken, prawn sushi rolls and chicken katsu. Everything were delicious but our fav were the sushi rolls and dumpling. Simply tasty. Highly recommend.
