The location isn’t fancy but the owners are delightful, friendly and kind. They are from Laos, and have been in Iowa for 45 years. They have been in business for 23 years. The food is fresh and delicious, and made to order. My husband and I are visiting from Kansas and we were looking for delicious Chinese food and we found it at Sam’s! The egg rolls were hand made, crispy with a flavorful crunchy cabbage filling. My husband said his Mongolian Beef was perfect (and he’s a picky eater!). My garlic chicken with mushrooms and water chestnuts was tender and tasty. Their fried rice was full of flavor and not just salty soy sauce. All portions were large, so there’s leftovers for lunch tomorrow! There are 2 tables if you want to dine in, and the owner’s wife served us with a smile. They seem to do a brisk take-out service as well. I HIGHLY recommend a visit. I would like to try their Laos special dishes next time.

Went for takeout on a weeknight. They have a decent menu. We ordered fried spring rolls, crab rangoon, sesame chicken, yu hsiang chicken, and soups. The soups were messy and under-seasoned. The crab rangoon are good. The filling is nice. The fillling-crust ratio is a little low, however. The spring rolls are way too greasy, but the flavor is solid. They are large with a well-seasoned cabbage/thread noodle filling. The sesame chicken was good, but without sauce or batter, the chicken was bland. The yu siang chicken was good, a little too sweet, not enough savory. The dish used large slices of breast meat, zucchini, mushrooms, carrot, and onions. The fried rice was standard. I'll probably go back.

We were looking for aunthetic Chinese food and after asking a few friends for suggestions, more than a few people suggested Sam's. We arrived at 8:45pm, ordered food and sat down to eat. Little did we know they closed at 9pm. We were greeted with huge smiles, open arms and had the best service I've ever had. We kept adding food to the order, and they kept bringing food and joking with us. I had the best egg rolls, crab ragoons, and pot stickers ive ever had. Serving of 4 pot stickers is enough for 4 people. Mangolian beef was awesome, hot and sour soup was fresh and great. I'm in love, and I can't wait to have Sam cook for us again! I'd leave 6 stars if I could.

Sam's Fine Egg Roll is a tiny place. There are a handful of tables inside and one outside. Sam is the cook, and he greeted me with a cheery "hello" as soon as I stepped inside. The woman at the counter (I didn't get her name) was friendly. I placed my order and paid, sat down and she brought out my Pepsi. In more of an iced tea drinker but they only serve cans of pop or water, which was fine. She brought me a cup of ice, too, which I appreciated. The egg roll was the best I've had, and the Mongolian beef was delicious. They were generous with the beef. I was checked on a couple times, and there was a steady stream of customers. Definitely worth the trip.

I found my new favorite close to home. I am happy to say the visit today was my first with many to come. I ordered the combo pud thai. It was a great choice to try all the meats. Sam is a skilled veteran of the wok. It surely shows. I was happy that egg roll came with because I read they were the best ever...and it was! The flavors and cooked tender meats, as well as presentation were spot on! I cannot say enough, but wow! Pictures are nice , but go visit and taste. You will see the past reviews, and your co-workers talking, were right!

New in town and feeling crummy with a cold, I found myself craving soup and something with a little spice. I looked for local options and saw great reviews for Sam's. The egg drop hit the spot and the kung bao chicken had the little bit of spice I was looking for with plenty leftover for lunch tomorrow. After seeing the reviews for the egg rolls, I got an order of those too. They are delightfully crisp and didn't taste oily. Give this small family business a shot. It was worth the little drive.
