Samurai Sam's — Restaurant in Phoenix

When you enter this dimly lit establishment, it is probably because the BBQ place nextdoor is too expensive and you just don't want another soggy sub from the only other option for about a mile.

When she brought it back out, she handed me a bottle of red pepper flakes. Well, I didn't need the flakes since they added spicy sauce to it.... Right? There was still exactly zero spicy flavor or bite. Again it had straight teriyaki sauce on it. But now it was totally swimming in it. I gave up, ate what I could, and put the...
