"A Japanese spot focusing mainly on udon (they also serve some sushi), Samurai Mama is a good place to know about when you’re looking for a casual spot to warm up your frostbitten self in Williamsburg. The vibe feels like a Japanese maze/hideout, with four different rooms, and would be good for an early in the game date. If it’s not winter, the probability that you’ll end up here is dependent on your appreciation for udon. Get the curry one." - Katherine Lewin

"Chef-owner of Bozu, the fusion Japanese small-plates spot known for its orb-like “sushi bombs” (dome-shaped nigiri with a range of sauces and crunchy toppings), is also behind this nearby udon joint. At Makoto Suzuki’s sophomore venture in the area, strands are served chilled or in soup form; the noodles are handmade daily using specially filtered Kaiaki water and a distinctive flour blend from California. There’s an impressive plethora of choices, from a hot seafood curry version to a chilled plum, shiso, and daikon radish-strewn option." - Alexandra Ilyashov

Hidden Gem for Authentic Japanese! This Japanese restaurant was a delightful surprise! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The chef's attention to detail truly shone through. He even recommended a special cold ramen dish, perfect for a scorching NYC day - it was a visually stunning and refreshing combination of chilled noodles, crisp and colorful vegetables, and a perfectly cooked slice of chashu pork. I paired it with a refreshing Japanese IPA, and the flavors were incredible. Service was top-notch, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout my meal. Highly recommend this place - I'll definitely be back!

Came in for an impromptu dinner date and eating at Samurai Mama was perfect! The dishes were all playfully vibrant in both presentation and taste. We ordered the Fried Shishito Peppers & Brussels Sprouts and the Squash which both tasted delicious. For our entree we got the Kinoko Tsukeji Udon and their special Cold Ramen. The Kinoko Tsukeji udon tasted savory and deep with the dipping aspect making for the perfectly textured bite every time. The special Cold Ramen was refreshing and zesty. For a dad’s night, these two dishes felt balanced and delicious. Can’t wait until next time!

Was not a fan of the dump style udon, the texture and flavor profile were mediocre. The gyudon was not good, the meat was not tender and hard to chew. The fried chicken was ok and so were the vegetable tempera. Cute restaurant but overall mediocre food.

Delicious. The service was great. The atmosphere was fantastic. When asking for advice on an order they were happy to give it. We really enjoyed the gyoza. Crispy and flavorful, the condiments on top was amazing with it. The sukiyaki udon? Phenomenal. Highly recommend. Don't sleep on this place!!!

If you have Ramen, Sushi, good music, good drinks and good service all under one roof…well I’m there. Really wanted to give 5 star review for Samurai Mama however the only minor detail holding back is the broth on their original Ramen is a bit thin and lacking that rich deep flavor. Maybe it was just a one time fluke but overall I was very content. Definitely coming back soon to try their own house made Udon.

Communal and cozy restaurant with incredible cuisine. Great quality fish and proteins and homemade udon. Will dine here again and again. Only complaint is minor, restaurant gets cold with the front door opening and closing. Recommend heating element or improve door system. Front of house staff is attentive and detailed. Kudos

Ramen and soba were perfect for a cold winter day! Also cozy vibes inside the restaurant
