" My meal at Sam's was nothing to write home about. The menu suggested delicious Chinese food, but it ended up being bland and lackluster. I'd be hard pressed to suggest someone eat here as it met none of my expectations for good Chinese food. The service was just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Sam's but was ultimately disappointed. I know it's a local spot, but the fried rice tasted like it was microwaved. The sweet and sour chicken had more batter than chicken. This felt like a fast-food version of Chinese cuisine rather than an authentic experience. I can't recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciate a good local business, I have to be honest; I've had far better experiences at other Chinese restaurants. The food at Sam's was bland, and the flavors completely missed the mark. At best, it was average, and I won’t be in a hurry to return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Sam's on a whim since other places were busy. All I can say is I'll remember to make a reservation next time. The food was not up to par. Overcooked and lacking taste. I would rather wait for a table somewhere else. This place is not the answer if you're looking for good Chinese. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really dislike giving negative feedback, but the food was not close to what I would consider acceptable. I went in hoping for some quick takeout but left feeling frustrated by the bland and overly greasy food. I won’t be a returning customer. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had better food from a frozen dinner. The beef chow mein was chewy and bland, leaving me unsatisfied after a meal. The fried rice had no vegetables or even eggs, which was quite an unpleasant surprise. I could barely finish my meal and will not be recommending this place to anyone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The dishes I ordered were bland and lacked any freshness. It felt like the food had been sitting for a long time. Service was unremarkable at best; definitely not worth a second visit. " (*Curated Review*)
