Sam Wok is a great place for some late night food.
It's connected to the Roadrunner motel so it looks sketchy, but it is actually very good. They were actually shut down this summer for health code violations. But they have since reopened and are doing well.
I love Sam Wok's hot pots. They are so good and they come out to the table as soon as they are ready. I love food that doesn't sit under a eat lamp that dries it up.
I recommend sharing some dishes so that way, when the first dish arrives, everyone can start eating right away. It's just better that way.
Be aware that once you order and your food gets dropped off, you are on your own though. They have table service but not much of it. You'll more than likely have to go up to the counter if you need anything after you get your food. -

I''m pretty sure I have only go to this place after a night out and I'm pretty sure that's how many people have experienced it. This location is pretty nice, and it doesn't attract the usual drunk crowd is used to and that's a good thing.
The food is good and greasy, again perfect for a night of drinking. I don't ever think of going here at any other time and I don't think I ever will come here at any other time. For me it is all about the late night meal and the "after hours" spot for the hungry. -

Alright...this place use to be a favorite of mine when it was back at its old location across from the Blockbuster video. But due to health concerns, they had to close down and move to a new location.
So after a night of drinking and fun in the club. Coming to Sam Wok was always a good place to come with friends. The menu line up had so much good stuff to choose from: variety of soups, entrees, some quick chinese dishes, etc.
The one thing I always looked forward too was Long Donut wrapped in a rice roll with sweet soy sauce poured over it...this was the best thing. it was nice for texture of the soft rice roll and the crusty donut in the middle with the sweet taste of the soy sauce. This was the bomb-diggity. Unfortunately during their move, they have taken this off their menu.
Yes this place would have been a 5 star on the borad for me, but the new location and the removal of the 1 dish its a 3 out of 5. i know, I know I'm being to harsh but come on....Is it to much for a lil satisfaction, is it to much to have a Longdonut rice roll after a night of dancing? -

Previously located where Planet Organic now is in Old Strathcona, before an unfortunate fire, Sam Wok is now located further down the same street on 76th Avenue. It shares a building with the Roadrunner Motel, which makes it look seedier than the run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant, but it's still the same fantastically delicious and cheap food. I was sad to hear that the old location was no more, but this sadness was quickly dashed away when I learned it's just down the street (yay!). The service is still efficiently quick, and the food is still yummy, and the biggest bargain you will get for your buck, in terms of Chinese food in this city. There's nothing here I've tried that I haven't liked, so I'll just say I recommend everything!
