The Scene
Bringing to light the harmonious appeal of Japanese sushi and Latin seviche, along with a shared taste for brisk, fragrant drinks, Sushi Samba offers a meeting of cultures that is bright, simple and energetic. Inside the colorful geometric exterior, a full crowd of downtown trendies, international fashion types and unassuming professionals gather in fuzzy red booths and around the central sushi bar.
The Food
The tantalizing selection of sushi and even finer marinated seviche includes basics like yellowtail, salmon and fresh crab, and a variety of special rolls. Drink selections encompass over 34 sakes (most by the bottle) and Latin cocktails like the mojito, periodista and special "sambatini," which changes each night according to the fresh fruit and garnishes in the house.

Despite some of the negative reviews, my boyfriend & I loved the food & thought that it was priced accordingly. Although a little on the pricy side- when taken into account that most of the menu is composed of easily spoiled seafood & that it is located in the Gramercy area on Park- I thought it was comparable to other similar restaurants. We LOVED the asian-latin flair. We loved the sea bass & sashimi. We had never has peruvian corn before & thought it was good. The drinks were good & we thought the service was good too. We went for an early dinner on a Saturday so it wasn't very crowded. We will definitely be going back.

I went out to eat with 10 friends for my best friends birthday, Saturday night November 1, 2008. He called in advance to make a reservation, and they took his credit card to charge a $25 cancellation fee if anyone less than 10 didn't show up. They would not seat us until all 10 people showed up, which meant that he had to wait 35 minutes to sit down. After that they then told him there would be a $50 minimum for dinner, and were trying to push a "prefixed menu" on us. Finally, fed up we pushed to get an a la carte order, but they still placed a minimum $50 dollars per person. The host was very rude, and incredibly unhelpful. Additionally, he had a very slimy appearance. The bill ended up being horrendous, which was probably the hosts plan. The food itself was ok, but I have eaten far superior sushi, with MUCH better service for literally a third of the price. Unless you are very desperate, I would not recommend Sushi Samba to my worst enemy.

I made a reservation for 8:00 Friday night and arrived early and jumped to the bar to wait for our table. my boyfriend was running a little late and the hostess said it was alright and sat us without him as he was on his way. after we ordered a few appetizers and a round of drinks the waitress kept eyeing us rudely. Around 8:20 the hostess came back to inform us that we had better order dinner because they need us to finish up so they can seat the next table for the 9:00 reservation. she was nasty and rude and i could not believe that a hostess of this type restaurant ($$$$) would be so ridiculous after she sat us knowing we were an incomplete table. We had ordered drinks and within 15 minutes already had a $40 tab. I have never been treated so poorly and in such classless taste. i understand that is was a friday night and the restaurant was busy, however i have NEVER been given a time limit on my meal. never again. the hype is just that hype for miserable service, overpriced food and watered down drinks. save your money.
