About Samurai Kitchen

Samurai Kitchen is a Brisbane-based Japanese street-food business and mobile food truck specialising in karaage (Japanese fried chicken) as well as burgers, rice bowls, and bento-style meals. They regularly trade at local markets, festivals, and pop-up events across Brisbane and wider Queensland, and may also provide private catering for parties, corporate functions, and community events. Instead of a standalone website, Samurai Kitchen typically shares menus, locations, and trading times through their Facebook page and event listings, so many customers first encounter them at an event and then pay on the spot via EFTPOS or a mobile card terminal.

A Samurai Kitchen charge may appear on your bank or card statement after you purchase food or drinks from their food truck or stall. Transactions are usually one‑time charges for individual meals or catering orders, but you may also see preauthorisation holds if they use a mobile payment processor (for example, the charge might display as “SQ* SAMURAI KITCHEN” or under the name of their EFTPOS provider). The amount will typically match what you spent at a market, festival, or event—often in the range of a single meal, multiple meals, or a group catering order. There are no subscription or recurring billing plans associated with Samurai Kitchen, so repeated charges usually reflect multiple visits or multiple transactions on different dates.

To verify a Samurai Kitchen charge, compare the transaction date, location, and amount with when you last visited a Brisbane or Queensland event where they were trading, and check any SMS/email receipts from the mobile EFTPOS terminal. You can also review your Facebook event history or messages if you arranged private catering through their Facebook page. If you still have questions, contact Samurai Kitchen via Facebook Messenger or through contact details listed on their Facebook profile, provide the date, exact amount, and the reference shown on your bank statement, and ask them to confirm the transaction. For issues such as an incorrect amount or a duplicate charge, you can request an adjustment or refund from Samurai Kitchen directly; if you cannot resolve it with them, follow up with your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Samurai Kitchen on my statement if I only bought food once?

Samurai Kitchen operates mainly as a food truck and market stall, so most people are charged once for each visit. If you see multiple charges, it may be because separate orders were processed individually (for example, if you went back to the stall for extra items) or because multiple people in your group used the same card. Review the timestamps and amounts for each transaction and compare them with your visit to see if they match separate orders.

What amounts does Samurai Kitchen typically charge?

Samurai Kitchen’s prices generally fall within a casual street-food range, with individual dishes like karaage bowls or burgers often in the AUD $15–$25 range, and combo meals or multiple items in the AUD $25–$50 range. Larger catering orders or group meals may be higher, depending on headcount and menu selection. If the charge on your statement is within this range and matches a recent market or event visit, it is likely for your food order.

Why does the Samurai Kitchen charge show up as SQ* or with a payment provider name?

Samurai Kitchen may use mobile payment systems such as Square, Zeller, or another EFTPOS provider when trading at markets and events. Because of this, your statement might display a description like “SQ* SAMURAI KITCHEN,” “SAMURAI KITCHEN EFTPOS,” or a similar variation that includes the payment processor’s name. This is normal for food trucks and stalls using portable card terminals and does not indicate a separate fee.

Does Samurai Kitchen offer subscriptions or recurring charges?

Samurai Kitchen does not offer subscription meal plans or recurring billing; their charges are for one‑time food purchases or catering services. If you see repeated Samurai Kitchen transactions, each one should correspond to a separate visit, event, or catering payment. If you notice automatic repeat charges on the same day each month, contact your bank immediately, as this is not part of their normal billing practice.

How can I get a receipt or invoice for my Samurai Kitchen purchase or catering order?

When paying at the food truck, you can usually request a printed receipt or have a digital receipt sent by SMS or email from the card terminal at the time of purchase. For catering deposits or balances, Samurai Kitchen may provide an invoice or payment confirmation via email or Facebook Messenger. If you need a copy after the fact, message them through their Facebook page with the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can locate the record.

How do I resolve an incorrect or duplicate charge from Samurai Kitchen?

First, compare the charge with your receipts or phone records to confirm it isn’t a second order you may have forgotten (such as an extra round of food or drinks). If the amount appears incorrect or you see a clear duplicate charge with identical time and amount, contact Samurai Kitchen via Facebook Messenger or the contact details listed on their page and provide screenshots of your statement. They can check their payment logs and, if an error occurred, process a partial refund or full reversal through their payment provider; if you cannot reach them or disagree with the outcome, you can then file a dispute with your bank or card issuer.

Why do I see a small pending Samurai Kitchen charge that later disappeared or changed?

Some mobile payment systems place a temporary authorisation hold on your card to confirm it is valid before finalising the actual charge. This may show as a small or slightly different amount from your final bill while it is pending, then either disappear or be replaced by the correct settled transaction within a few business days. If a pending authorisation does not clear or you see both the hold and the final charge posted as completed, contact Samurai Kitchen or your bank to investigate.
