Samurai Sam’s Teriyaki Grill

We operate Samurai Sam’s Teriyaki Grill restaurants serving Japanese quick-service food and beverages. Our menu focuses on teriyaki and other Japanese-style items such as rice bowls and noodle bowls. We serve guests in both traditional locations, like storefronts and shopping centers, and non-traditional locations such as airports, travel plazas, colleges, hospitals, and other high-traffic venues. Traditional restaurants typically offer our full menu, while non-traditional locations usually offer a more limited version. We serve the general public and provide a fast, convenient dining option for customers looking for Japanese-inspired meals.
