One of the best deals on the island. Good food, decent price (compared to other restaurants). We get the family meal #1 and a side order of the Mochiko chicken.

Ordered on the phone and I don't have to wait long. Small shop but very efficient and easy for take out. Delicious and affordable!

My parents picked up Korean food for dinner and I decided to stick with Kimchee soup to be safe. My boyfriend got the Fish jun since he's never had it before. He really liked it since the inside was moist and the outside was a little crispy. He enjoyed the banchans as well! My kimchee soup was so yummy and had the perfect kick to it! Sometimes kimchee soup isn't spicy which makes me sad because I love my spicy flavors! This soup had the perfect ratio of tofu, kimchee and meat. My soup came with rice and banchans as well. There isn't too much parking so I recommend if doing take out, have one person driving and another person hop out to grab the food. The inside of the restaurant is giving old school, mom and pop shop. Kind of pricey but if you're really craving korean food and in the area, I'd give this place a try!

To preface, I've never been to Sam's in person, but have had their food catered a couple times. Their bentos are one of the best ones I've had and their fried chicken is also so insanely tender and flavorful, probably the best chicken I've ever had to be honest. I'll have to go again to see how their service is but the food itself has always been very tasty and solid.

Recently ordered bentos for a small party and everyone enjoyed it. The party platters are getting so expensive that I think the bentos were a better deal this time around. However, the mochiko chicken doesn't taste the same as it used to be, not sure if they changed the recipe but it's not the same mochiko chicken from a few years ago. The fried chicken wings is still excellent. I still like this place but just not as much as before.

It's not a fancy big establishment, located in Nuuanu where parking can be difficult to find, however there is quite a bit of good selection to choose from. I got the meat juhn/kal bi combo and added on the 4 pc mandoo for 1.89 xtra. (I think that was the price!). I haven't been here in a long time since I moved away from this area, but I thought the food was pretty tasty and reasonable. I remember that their chicken wings used to taste like the "old chicken Alice" chicken wings, however I haven't tasted it recently. I need to stop by on my next trip in town! Yummy!

I've been past Sam's countless times but never felt compelled to go in, mostly because the parking situation is not ideal. However, Frolic Hawaii published an article that listed Sam's as a favorite place for chicken wings. As someone who loves chicken wings, like literally crave it a few times a month, I just had to go see for myself. Like most small run shops, you might not always find the friendliest service, but doesn't bother me too much if I'm just looking to get my food and get out anyways. The lady rushed me a little bit but I knew what I wanted anyways: the chicken wing plate. The plate comes with 6 pieces and 4 sides but the ala carte comes with 8. It took roughly 10-15 mins, but the smell was mouthwatering and well worth the wait. The chicken was hot, amazingly crunchy, and undeniably juicy; literally perfection. And the pieces were huge! I was able to go turn my plate into two large meals for myself. The sides were alright, nothing amazing, but I will be dreaming of this chicken. I heard the kalbi and meat jun is amazing here too, I'll be braving the parking one day again soon.
