" Sam's Restaurant left much to be desired during my visit. While the service was friendly, the food was far from authentic. I ordered sesame chicken expecting a flavorful dish, but it was bland and dry. The rice was overcooked and stuck together, practically a mushy mess. I won't be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm very picky with my Chinese food, and Sam's did not meet my criteria. The sweet and sour chicken was the worst I've ever tasted, rubbery and lacked any traditional flavor. The service was decent, but the food just didn't cut it. I cannot recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perhaps it was an off day, but my experience at Sam's was disheartening. The food was bland, certainly not reflective of authentic Chinese cuisine. The sweet and sour pork lacked any real tang, and the fried rice was tasteless. I do not feel inclined to try again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner with friends at Sam's last week, and it was surprisingly disappointing. I expected fresh and flavorful dishes but was served overcooked and soggy noodles among other issues. To make matters worse, we were hastily served, which made us feel rushed and uncomfortable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don't waste your time or money. I ordered delivery from Sam's, and it was a disappointing mess. The containers leaked, and the food was cold by the time it arrived. What I did eat was lackluster at best: mushy noodles and flavorless chicken. A waste, to say the least. " (*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*)
