Their Japanese food is characterised by light, simple flavours, simple preparations and artful presentation.

This enables people to eat ‘authentic Japanese ramen and curry’ with the menu’s ‘healthy ramen’ promising to be within 500 calories. The restaurants meat and vegetables will be sourced from local suppliers, with food made fresh in the kitchen.
Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup dish made from broth and a variety of ingredients and flavours to satisfy your hungry soul. Ramen is a hearty, healthy, fresh meal eaten every day. Anyone who is into Japanese food knows that Katsu curry is wickedly wonderful. One of the most popular dishes in Japan, it is so widely eaten it could be called a national dish. Happy Samurai also offers Fried Noodles – perhaps one of Japan’s best known street foods, fried noodles can be found sizzling away in stalls everywhere from baseball stadiums to traditional omatsuri (festivals). Side dishes include a range of colourful and tasty side dishes to make your meal much more appetizing. Some side dishes can be enjoyed by themselves and some complement the main dishes on offer.
Fresh dishes are fantastic value for money with the restaurant offering free Tokyo tea with your meal. A wide range of soft and alcoholic drinks are also available to suit all tastes. Sake, a Japanese rice wine, Japanese beers with rich flavours and heritage, cocktails and a selection of non alcoholic drinks are all available.
