Reviews
Korean version Pho. I was really concerned at first with the red color of this pho, but was pleasantly surprised by the aha! The aha is that red for me registers I’m going to have acid reflux eating this, but in fact it’s kimchi that’s giving it this color. But with a earthy deep korean spice that is not burning your mouth out. Lol. Your just going to have to take my word for it. I asked for two kinds of meat and I only saw one type. Hence 4 stars
Service – Waitress was overloaded and wasn’t able to attend to everyone in a timely way, but she was a trooper and was super focused.
Atmosphere – 4 star = tight seating being that is an older restaurant and they’re trying to fit more people.
Quick and cheerful service was another bonus, thank you to Lexi for being a great host!
Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu, don’t hesitate to give Sam City a shot.
The prices for pho are higher than other pho places we have gone- $15-$16 for a bowl of pho. We ordered two different bowls of pho and a $19 dish with steamed rice, ribs, shrimp, pork and garnished with shredded cabbage & lettuce. Food tasted great.
Really nice decor and there are booths and a nice dining side with tables. Everyone there is super-friendly and accommodating.
I had the Chicken Pho which was wonderful. The flavors all worked together to make for a great dish.
My friend had the Chicken Katsu which I had a chance to try. And that is phenomenal: just the right amount of crispness on the outside, with super-tasty sauce, and extremely tender chicken on the inside.
I’ll definitely be returning.
Edit: June 2022
I think like most restaurants the quality of ingredients had dipped while prices steadily increased. we ordered Chicken Pho, fried mushroom, and Christians Choice (noodles, beef, and supposedly vegetables), the prices on the website indicated this order should have been around 28$ before tip, it ended up 38$ before tip for pickup. The broth is always great in the pho, however the noodle to meat/vegetable ratio was underwhelming.
As someone with a gluten allergy, it’s not easy finding restaurants that will cater to my dietary needs. Luckily, Sam City has many gluten free options available and absolutely delicious.
