👍👍 It is the best Asian restaurant in Cyprus. They have very authentic sake and good selections of wine. The sashimi is fresh and crisp. The fried chicken had a huge portion. Wonderful meal. People often mention sushi,

    Quick delivery. However, my parents and I didn’t really like the food and unfortunately we couldn’t finish it (ordered sweet and sour chicken). The flavour was quite strange. Maybe this dish could have been better if the chicken was not seasoned with black pepper. Nonetheless, this restaurant has plenty of dishes to choose from and perhaps I’ll give it another try in the future.

    I ordered thinking it was gonna be a good idea , the reviews are pretty good so I said I’ll give it a chance. Boy was I wrong, the sushi was questionable , really tough to chew on. The duck had a strange taste to it, and the noodles had little metal rocks and got in my teeth.(what would have happened if I had swallows the rock?) It was a complete disaster. Gross food. Never ordering from there again. Response from the owner 4 hours ago Hello. We have read your review with great concern as it doesn't describe at all the quality of the meals we are offering. Saying that we want to assure you that all of our meals are fresh cooked and prepared with the finest ingredients of the market. Nevertheless we would be happy to assist you so you can contact us on the phone anytime to see with you what went wrong with your order. As you saying in your review our 5 star reviews make you give us a try. If we were serving the type of food you are writing in your review its obvious that we will not have five star reviews. Dear Samisen owner, Your message sounds like you don’t take honest reviews very lightly, you have a lot of audacity to talk like that to a customer who found small rocks in your beef noodles . If your standards were as high as you claim and your ingredients as fine then I wouldn’t have found metal rocks would I. Your answer makes me really not want to give a second chance or to call you

    There was plenty of seating, but we wanted to take the sushi platter to the beach and enjoy it there. We didn't order until we got there. Everything was fine - parking on the side street, fast and polite service, card payment. The sushi itself was super tasty and beautifully prepared. Highly recommended.

    Best sushi in Paphos! And not only sushi! Used products are very hight quality and portions are really big especially if you compare to other places in Paphos. Prices are very reasonable. The owner is very kind person and always recommends best option for you. I would highly recommend Samisen!

    Perfect asian restaurant. Beef and reef is amazing. Sahimi fresh and very tasty. Prices are very reasonable. The cuisine is very authentic

  • 5/5 Stanislav L. 4 years ago on Google
    Everything was fine, we took the asian combination for 2, it is exactly what a couple is needed, not more and not less. Crem brulee in asian style differs from what we are regular, but really very interesting and tasty.

  • 5/5 Markus L. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent, authentic Peking duck with pancakes. Vegetable steamed dim sum incredible and (by Chinese standards) also very authentic. All other dishes we tried really great. Not cheap, but good value for money.

  • 5/5 Juan P. 3 years ago on Google
    Real Asian food! We were amazingly surprised, with such a big variety of cuisines it is difficult to keep the quality standards. But seriously, it tastes like you are in Asia. We ordered dumplings, beef teriyaki, nasi goreng and yakisoba noodles, a mix of Asian cuisines. Beautifully handled by the chef. If you are looking for fake European flavor in Asian cuisine, stay away. For the ones enjoying real and genuine Asian food and flavors; you will love the experience as much as we did!

  • 1/5 Lars R. 3 years ago on Google
    A while ago we ordered and it was all good. But last time it was all wrong. Chicken chow Mein had no chicken, hardly any vegetables and the sauce a strange taste (cinnamon?), tuna salad was raw fish but not declared as such, chicken breast with green curry was breaded meat but not declared as such and sauce was very low quantity. Delivery was very quick but we would have preferred longer but better

    We ordered catering for a private party. The service from the time of booking until delivery was to the best standard and the food was amazing, with large portions and reasonable prices!! Totally recommended!!

😐 We ate here after all of the 5 star reviews, but left disappointed. The calamari was delicious, but the chicken was a little dry (with no sauce), as was the lamb. The moussaka was 75% aubergine, so could have done with a little more meat in my opinion. The drinks weren't the cheapest either, espec...
