I wanna start by saying the last thing I want to do is shame a business in such a small town. But these reviews are Rigged. They may offer a free egg roll or something. My first day I got a general Tso lunch special, I wanna start by saying the chicken is indeed, fresh and solid. The rice is extremely bland (lunch special, plain) I needed about four packs of soy sauce. The chicken portions were counted on my finger. (5) with a drink $14.23. (LUNCH SPECIAL) yeah right. The next day I went in and ordered a pineapple chicken with shrimp fried rice. They cannot add any shrimp to the lunch special to get it. I would have to pay for a full large fried rice, which cost about $13. I was unable to speak to the manager or the owner, even though I asked. So my opinion, this place is extremely overrated. In total for me to enjoy one meal the way I want $23!!!For the price you can buy all the materials and cook it yourself at home. Do yourself a favor and move on, places, like this, have the potential to be great, but are fine with just being OK

I was craving for some Chinese food, so decided to try Sam s China inn. I told the lady at the front desk I would like something sweet, so she recommended the dish call creamy shrimp. TRUST ME this is the best sweet dish you will find in the area. Thank you China inn for the delicious dinner.

Food was mid. I got the sesame chicken lunch special & fried rice with an egg roll. The chicken was okay, and the fried rice was so light it was almost yellow. It had no flavor and just looked like soy sauce and eggs. The egg roll tasted freezer burnt and off. For the price I paid ($12) I wasn t too annoyed but I definitely wouldn t be coming back anytime soon. Definitely a let down especially since there were so many good reviews.

The eggrolls today taste freezer burnt. And as a chef myself, the awareness of freezer burn is obvious before you cook the food. So instead of getting fresh eggrolls, they fried the freezer burnt ones. The fried rice also was not as fresh tasting. I once loved this restaurant. It has changed and not for the better.

We always order through take out and they always get our order right. Food is always nice and hot. For those complaining about prices going up, it s not their fault. Prices have gone up for food so of course they re going to raise their prices. They are still a good price in my opinion especially since everything is made fresh.

Not sure if the service or the food was worse this place used to be so good not sure what happened but chicken was so tough you can even cut it much less chew it ...egg rolls were frozen on the inside and the Rangoons tasted like soap...server NEVER checked on us and the one time she did she laughed when we told her how bad the food was I had to ask twice while she was standing here for a refill on my drink and my wifes drink has been empty and she didnt refill it at all...will never be back here again and I used to come here atleast once a week...you lost a (former) loyal customer

Still the best egg rolls in the area. The food is always great dining in or carrying out. The service is usually pretty good and they have great lunch specials. Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options, however I have no idea what they taste like. Parking: Its a parking lot. Im not sure what else to say about it.

Today I wanted to some Chinese food so I ordered from Sams China Inn and if I could give them an 11 star rating I would. The dumplings are fantastic. The sweet & sour chicken is wonderful. The wonton soup is simply divine. The black pepper trio is heavenly. I dont care how much I have to pay in delivery fees for this. Thank you. Thank you so very much. This place is a must. 11/10 will be dining from here again. Today I ordered from Sams again & Im delighted to say the quality is still fantastic. The mushu pork is wonderful & I enjoyed their special wonton soup. 12/10. Will keep ordering from there. I order from Sams every two weeks now and I have to say their consistency is amazing. I order my favorite menu items which are the pan-fried dumplings and the special wonton soup every time. Then I try to get a different menu item for myself. I like to try new things. So far, Sams has never let me down. 12/10. Thank you. Sams China Inn remains delightful as ever. Theyve never given me bland, bad, or under season food. I have and continue to be fan of this fantastic restaurant. Hats off for consistency. If you ever go, I strongly recommend the pinapple chicken, sesame chicken, and the special wonton soup. 14/10.

Horrible, for the price paid the food was not worth it. I assume because it was almost time to close, I received the bare minimum. The white rice container was half (not even half) full and the General Tso had no sauce. I guess the sauce is supposed to match the white rice served. Very poor service .
