This was my first time eating at Phat Sammys. Be warned that this restaurant requires the use of stairs!!!Service was very good, they were helpful and attentive. Kitchen and dining area looked pretty clean, but its sooo dark in there, that someone like me with vision issues had a little bit of a hard time making out some of the decor in there.Food: both the kimchi slaw (wasnt even sour btw) on my sandwich and cucumber kimchi (a side order) were Very, very bland- like they salted it to begin the pickling process but they completely skipped the garlic and onion to put pepper flakes on it.. big ❌ for me, as im a kimchi enthusiast. literally tasted like spicy cucumber seltzer water.Appetizers: We got Enoki Frites and Crab Rangoons, both pretty damn good. Enoki Frites were easily my favorite, fried to perfection and the sauce is a perfect match. I wouldve gotten a double order of the frites alone if i had known theyd be so good.overall the KFC Sandwich (the one w kimchi slaw) was alright. Flavor wasnt bad but it was nothing to write home about. It was also.. very wet and messy. The cook on my dishes was very good, however!Overall, this seems like a fun place to drink but i wouldnt spend money on the food again unless it was a shareable appetizer type of dish maybe, those seemed to be the best out of the plates we gotWheelchair accessibility: I dont know if they have an alternative entrance but this place has stairs that you use to enter and exit- like a flight and a half.

The atmosphere of the place is great, but our food and drinks weren't. The food was... okay, but for the price, it should be more than "...okay." We spent $100 on two people. For this kind of place, I think that's high, but forgivable if the food is good; it is not. Would love to see it succeed, but a lot will have to change first.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair inaccessible; located underground and you have to walk downstairs.

Some of the WORST service I’ve ever had…

Honestly this place is not worth the hype nor the food. I ordered the beef bulgogi and it was extremely too salty. Also we ordered the seafood punch bowl which only tasted like expired watered down alcohol and fruit peels for $45. NOT RECOMMEND. Phat Sammy’s could use better staff and proper cleanliness especially in the bathrooms. Regardless I’m never going back or recommending people there again.

Service by MaKenzie was some of the worst I've ever had. They also charged 20% gratuity on people without telling them or written on the menu. They said they were also out of Ramen but then saw the cook eating Ramen at the bar. Drinks took 25 minutes to come out. Food took even longer. It's like it was her first job, and didn't care about it. Toilet also for whatever reason, didn't flush.

The food and drinks were absolutely fantastic! We loved the bulgogi and the fantastic voyage however.. our server Zoe really didn't meet expectations for the cost of the meal.

This place has gone downhill within the last couple months. I came for dinner and food was mediocre. No flavor. Drinks overpriced. Food overpriced. Staff just okay. Would not recommend or go again. Spend your money elsewhere.

We were a bit hesitant as they have a big menu like other restaurants but the foods were surprisingly good. The wings and ribs were so tasty, crunchy outside and moist inside. The fried rice was not overly seasoned and salty like others.

What to say. Sammy's was fantastic when they first opened, but my how times have changed. Tiny bugs swirling around everywhere, and even ended up on our food and in our drinks. Twice we received drink glasses with lipstick stains on them. Servers never checked on us and we had to wave them over for anything (they were all very nice and accommodating). Food was still great, but if the dining room had that many bugs I shudder to think what the kitchen looks like. Sammy's, I'm begging you, get your act together.

I was very disappointed by this place. The cocktails are the price of a full meal first of all. The ambience is amazing and the restaurant is super cool. I ordered the pork katsu sandwich but the waitress came back and told me that they couldn't make it so I got the beef bulgogi instead. The beef was tough, and the rice was undercooked, which felt like a waste of $18. My husband got the beef lomein and it was pretty good but same issue with the beef. We got the bao buns for an appetizer and they had a sort of rubbing alcohol aftertaste. Could have been wasabi? There was only one waitress for the entire restaurant on MARDI GRAS which was a bad decision. The owner should have come to help out if they knew they were so short staffed. We weren't given napkins or silverware, and it took awhile for them to refill our water. I was really excited for the restaurant but was left sorely disappointed. We will not be back.
