TL:DR: Amazing restaurant, try the made to order all you can eat, it's the cheeper option and you'll get to try some amazing new things! We have always been a fan of ocean samurai in Blacksburg. They opened a new location here in Christiansburg awhile back and we loved that too! Recently they decided to differentiate the two restaurants by having a all you can eat made to order buffet! This was a bit strange at first but since we gave it a chance we love it! You get a menu with everything they have always had on it, you can pick any four items at a time from the menu and they make it fresh, then once you are done with those four items you can order another four, you can continue this until you are satisfied or one hundred minutes have passed. Thanks to this new option my family has tried so many delicious dishes we never would have tried otherwise, and the best part is it is cheeper than ordering the items individually! Perviously my five member family would order an appetizer and five meal items and we would expect to pay around 40 dollars a person, now with the all you can eat option we only pay around 30 each! So not only do we get to try new delicious dishes that we would never have ordered before but it actually saves us money! Wonderful restaurant, wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere, and wonderful service! Easily one of my favorite places to take my family in the Christiansburg area!

Phenomenal place to eat. Completely blew my expectations out of the water! I will definitely be going back regularly.

This place is it!! We went on Mother's Day and returned a few days later. Service the first time was just a tad bit "inexperienced", for lack of a better term. However, the owner or Manager was running the floor and immediately rectified the issue. He even suggested some of the most fresh, delicious sashimi we have ever had (we actually ordered it the second visit, tip for the restaurant: The first time it was covered in black row caviar style, this smoked white tuna was absolutely amazing and each little bite of this row burst with flavors of the ocean mixed with the smoked tuna. It was perfect. However, the second time we ordered there was no row on top. So please keep that it made the dish!!!). The drinks were phenomenal the second time with a great selection and our waiter this time actually seemed to know what he was doing. Given the electronic payment and ordering at the table with tablets, takes away a bit from the atmospheric experience, but the food is to die for!! Everything we had from the hibachi fillet (which was cooked a perfect mid-rare and melted in your mouth), to all the sashimi we ordered (we actually ordered three of the white smoked tuna dishes on our first visit. It was so good). Not only was this some of the best sashimi that we have had in Christiansburg Blacksburg, but some of the best sashimi and dining we have experienced in Virginia. On our first visit, the owner really made it an experience for us that we won't forget. His knowledge of the menu and service made for one of the best Mother's Day's dinners we have ever had and my partner was absolutely over the moon we left with full bellies and full hearts. Thanks to this amazing attention to detail. Thank you so much for what a wonderful experience we've had and we certainly will be back time and time again.
