Mr. Samurai specialises in Japanese-inspired pastas and rice bowls and it is fairly popular amongst the lunch crowd in the CBD! We ordered the Truffle salmon sashimi rice bowl, which contains freshly-prepared slices of salmon sashimi atop short-grained Japanese rice. These were served alongside carrots, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and pickles. The most distinctive feature of this dish, however, would be the strong aroma of truffle oil emanating from it!

We loved the rice bowl as it was really flavourful and it is a pretty good choice for those of us who are trying to avoid fried food! The serving size was just right and we think that the price of $17 was reasonable. Do be prepared to wait for a seat as the restaurant isn't particularly large; otherwise seize the opportunity if it is a rainy day as the lunch crowd at Circular Road will generally be less crowded on those days.
