Sams Chinese Express

Restaurant got my order and when I said it was wrong the chef yells at me and tells them to give me my money back. So embarrassing

Had the duck fried rice and mixed fried rice, and were very happy about it. The duck was perfectly tender and crispy and the overall dish very fresh. Highly recommended

I ordered the Kung Pao prawns with egg fried rice for lunch and was pleased with the portion size for the price. If you're in the mood for a quick Chinese meal for lunch, this is the place to go. Speisekarte ansehen

Came early evening by which point the prices reduce to £6.50 for a main with rice (boiled or fried) or noodles, with a soft drink and four spring rolls. Its a casual wipe-down bench sort of place and the food was tasty enough. Not high quality cuisine by any means but an honest well priced casual feed. The menu is a bit limited, no noodle soups for example.

Came here for my dinner to take back to the office whilst at work. The best beef curry I've had in a long time, asked for extra hot and that's what I got! Cooked fresh in front of me and served with lovely rice. No frills place, quick and easy. Tasty and delicious food freshly cooked. I was never really a fan of Chinese food, this place is fantastic. Superb value for money. 10/10, highly recommend..

Unbelievable value for money for a quick lunch. £7 for freshly cooked classic Chinese beef dish on rice with 1 drink, eating in!!! Easily my top choice for meals on the road, ideal for tourists or backpackers, who appreciate a plate of hearty warm food in a cold day. The sitting space is limited, and the menu is simple, but the taste is excellent, easily rivaling any of the big restaurants in China town. Speisekarte ansehen

I stopped at this restaurant because the Chinese restaurant across the road told me I had to wait since I was alone, even though there were plenty of tables available. Feeling annoyed, I decided to go to this place instead. It's actually a takeaway with seating, not fancy at all, but it offers good, affordable food. It was a chilly night and the constant opening and closing of the door made it a bit cold and drafty. However, my Kung Pao Beef and Fried Rice were quite tasty. It may not be a top dining destination, but it's a decent place to enjoy a meal.

I ordered the duck in black bean sauce with fried rice, which came with 4 spring rolls (in a separate bag) and sweet chilli dip, as well as a drink, all for £7.50. The portion size was generous with plenty of duck and chunky vegetables. The dish tasted fresh and the fried rice was not greasy. There are a few tables available for dining in, but since I was alone, I opted to take my meal back to my room. The staff were friendly and the meal was prepared quickly in front of me. This restaurant is perfect for a quick, affordable, and delicious meal in London. I will definitely remember it for my next visit!

It can be quite hard to find a quick, inexpensive hot meal in central London, unless you want a burger or fried chicken. Sam's Express, situated 3 minutes walk North of High Holborn could be the answer. They have a very short menu basically chicken, beef, king prawn, duck or veggies prepared in a small number of ways. Nothing costs more than £7.50 (or £6.50 after 4pm they are open until 8pm weekdays, but closed at weekends), and the price includes 4 spring rolls and a cold non alcoholic drink. There are two communal tables and a small high stool area on one side. I had the chicken with spring onion and ginger with steamed rice you can opt instead for noodles or egg fried rice. It was quickly... Speisekarte ansehen
