Made a pit stop on our way home and decided to eat before everywhere closed l. Don't be deceived by how the surrounding area looks. It's super sketchy, but this place is a hidden gem. We had the thai fried rice,pad kee mao, and imperial rolls. The pad kee mao wasn't the best I've had, but it was very flavorful compared to most places. The thai fried rice on the other hand was phenomenal me and the mrs couldn't get enough of them. Their imperial rolls are ok I wouldn't order them again they didn't fill the entire roll with shrimp just 1 on each end. The restaurant is family owned and operated and the service was great. Each of the staff was attentive and very kind and generous. The waiter kept topping us off on water because the pad kee mao was just a tad spicy for me. The restaurant itself is a bit cluttered but I wouldn't let it stop you from eating good food. Overall, I would recommend Sam's and will definitely stop by whenever we come through town.

Everything was perfect. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Food was great. Usually don't love too many onions in my food because they overpower a lot of other flavors and this place had the perfect amount of flavor in their food. Loved it and will definitely come back Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
