This is our favorite best kept secret sushi spot in Tahoe. It’s convenient when coming into or leaving town but worth the short drive even when staying near the casinos. The sushi is simple, fresh, delicious, consistent, and reasonably priced. The center of the room has a fireplace that is lovely to dine next to.

What a gem at Lake Tahoe. Their scallops melt in your mouth. Fish are fresh. The edemame appetizer just hits the spot with its spicy tangy kick. The yellowtail roll was fatty fishy goodness. I suggest getting the Spicy Raiders Temaki for its flavor bomb goodness. Service was superb. Will visit again.

This is a sushi review for those who are allergic to shellfish. While there are many rolls with shrimp or crab, we had the Sierra, the Caterpillar, the Salmon Skin, and the Unagi Rolls. All four of them were deliciously well flavored and my partner and I were excited to have them without worrying about shellfish allergies. In addition, while many sushi places in the bay area make big rolls that require 2-3 bites to eat without contorting your mouth, the specific pieces were small and that made every bite more impactful. We also had a seat at the bar section and the knife work was specifically impressive. If I had to compare this place to bay area sushi, I would say Samurai is a quintessential example of a "less is more" approach and it pays off. Incredible experience. I'll be back :)
