Restaurant Sam Sam in Saguenay

We ordered 4 combinations of three dishes. The dishes were quite generous. However, the food was lukewarm. The ribs were not edible because they were so dry and overcooked. The cherry sauce tasted chemical, disgusting... Conclusion .big disappointment .

The restaurant continues to fill up. You absolutely need to book.

Always a pleasure to go to this restaurant. Kindness of staff and the food is excellent

Good food and varied choices. On the other hand, some dishes, the rice in particular, were cold even if we went at the start of the service. Pickup of empty plates was slower than usual but service was good overall.

I am seated in a place with Normal shoes after that no more services liquor really bad Goue I asked for an exchange I only received at the end of the service very disappointed positive point food of very good Goue lots of varieties offered

Go eat there, Terrible food for the price, its no longer the quality of the past, finish this restaurant for us

First the waitress at our table picked up the plates and passed them over my 2 month old babys head, she got all the mold residue off her!!!! Bland food and empty dish in the buffet for 15-20 min. Really disappointed..

Very small frog leg and the dish was always empty

Parking: Faut être loin Food

Its not the first time Ive been to this restaurant but it seems to be the last. The food is dry and for a Buf-fett several dishes were always empty. The atmosphere is OK but nothing more. The price is WAY too high for the quality! $93 for two with 1 beer and 2 Buf-fett. For food dry and not very good. Luckily there was ice cream.

Everything was good and hot. All services were full. Parking: No comments

It was a pleasant evening, the people were friendly. Some dishes lacked seasoning.

2 stars because the sushi is not a success the rest is ok

The food is completely disgusting and disgusting, it has lost its feathers, it has leftovers from the day before in the buffet, the frogs legs taste sour and the rest is bland and tasteless

First time having dinner there because I was passing through. I really liked the refilled meals, there was never a lack of anything. The table service was exceptional. The waitresses are quick and I never ran out of water or liquor. The plates were changed very quickly... I liked the place and it was good.

The only big problem is the food, it looks like food from the day before, not recommended.

Dsl but you lost a lot

I gave it one last chance. I told myself since dinner is the leftovers from yesterdays supper. I went with my family for dinner. It wasnt better, the food was very salty, even disgusting. Especially mushrooms and broccoli. Not really any more options for dinner and its more expensive. Really disappointed.

I went twice in a row and they served us pig meats. Everything was super cooked and disgusting. Im going to find another restaurant

Its not bad, but not wow. I find that the price does not reflect the quality, if we compare to other buffets in Quebec. The service was okay, nothing more.

Everything was very good except that the dishes were not hot enough. Parking: Well placed

The cuisine and the price are perfect except that their paypass machine does not take all the cards and all the functions so I had to return my dish and order something else via skip

General Tao chicken excellent. Orange beans are delicious. Overcooked frog legs. Very good desserts. Parking: Shopping center parking

Its a good Chinese buffet. Lots of places. Not so expensive. Enough choice. Kid-friendliness: Family

Expensive for a buffet and a lot of people. General Tao chicken in puree, chicken is rare and cold at 5:30 a.m., tiny frog leg.

$70 a plate no but the price for the quality of the meal is really too expensive. $100 for 2 at that price will go elsewhere.

Food so much more what it was, really not good!

Overly salty mussels, lukewarm frog legs, the waiter didnt often pick up the empty plates.

Its a treat every time. Vegetarian options: On the menu there are several vegetarian choices; the same as the buffet, which also includes a salad and raw vegetables bar. Parking: Adequate and sufficient parking, spaces for disabled permit holders. Kid-friendliness: High chairs Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

I changed my rating! Order to take away Since the price increase of dinner for 2 the quality has dropped enormously The only ingredient in Chinese noodles and rice that I found is soy sauce It must have been 30 years since I called this dinner.... Its time to move on

Several flagship dishes were not up to par as often half of the buffet is disappointing.

Wonton soup with the taste of jonquiere water Quality of food has decreased a lot....choice still good. We had too high expectations for the asking price. result? We wont go back there again.

It is very unpleasant not to have buffet prices, neither at the entrance to the restaurant nor at the table!!!! but when I found out the price, it was unpleasant to leave. but indeed it is very expensive, no special beverage, two adults and a 6 year old child, $95 apart from the trash.

The food is not as good as I have experienced for the price.

The food is good in general, my spearibs were very dry my staff very very nice and pleasant

I didnt come across any employees named Sam.

In 3 times.. the food was not fresh on my plate. It was tough and not very tasty. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, for the lack of choice and the service, I ate again when I got home... no real good dessert

We went as a group and really liked everything

Great restaurant everything is good and the staff is very professional

I love going to this restaurant, its my favorite Kid-friendliness: I frequently take my 5 year old daughter for the buffet

Very bad food. Several dishes tasted bad and the others were tasteless. It looked like there was fish juice in the preparations. I had been a customer for several years. Its over. To avoid. At $33 per person, go elsewhere!!!

Very good service! Still plenty of choice. Very clean.

Jai commandé un chow mein cantonnais et jai reçu 3 petite crevettes aucun goût 4 morceaux genres de porc bizarre et 4 morceaux de poulet très dure tout ça tranché... jaurais même pas donné ça à mon chien... dsl mais ya un boute de rire du monde qui paye 55$ pour 2 chow mein et un mini rouleau de printemps... Moi terminer sam sam.....

Wow

Saturday June 15th not edible, nothing had any taste and we wont go back again.

Saturday June 15, 5:30 p.m., we pick up our order of more than $100, not edible, dry egg rolls, chicken with disgusting pineapple, its like rubber, unable to bite it, its reheated, rice dry and cold, cold noodles, in addition, when ordering I am told that with the amount of my purchase, I am entitled to a free one, I am offered shrimp rice which I accept willingly (I do not never had it) as far as Im concerned SAM SAM ITS DONE! NOT EATABLE

Very disappointed with the buffet, no big varieties and it didnt taste like before. For my boyfriend, who usually gives the runner a chance, to say that he was disappointed, thats not normal.

Good food but way too expensive 4 people: $157.67 Filter coffee: $3.50, it s filter coffee

I should have eaten there. As someone who loves spare ribs, I was very disappointed, overcooked and very dry, even after paying for extra sauce. However, the house special fried rice (varied vegetables and meats, including seafood) exceeded my expectations and the Singapore noodles were good but overcooked and a tad too spicy. The beef with broccoli was very rare in beef, I now understand the extra beef option. There was no sauce for the sooguy chicken (not plum, not cherry, nothing) and only one sauce for the three eggrolls. Forget the almonds and the chicken in the almond chicken...its raw peanuts, not roasted, not sautéed, not cooked, and very very little chicken but delicious vegetables (especially Chinese cabbage) . Special menu + separate dishes. Everything was hot, even from Jonquiere to Chicoutimi, almost on time with very friendly service for an order made online. A $100 relatively well invested (Ive already been much more disappointed elsewhere) Next try on site on a Sunday where children under 10 eat for free. Kid-friendliness: No attractive object for children within reach of their little hands

Its really not like before. I was unfortunately very, very disappointed with my dinner which was quite expensive (33.50!!?!?) I was thinking of having a good dinner with the family but the noodles were dry just as much for the meat the vegetables were bland and too cooked it was the last time for me. I recommend the kenwong or the royal panda instead for better value.

On my last visit I was very disappointed. Its really not like before. It was either too dry, overcooked or too cold. Dont waste your money here if you are looking for something good. The other competitors in Jonquière and Chicoutimi Nord are much better, everything is hot and good.

Good buffet but sometimes a lot of bad pieces. Good service! Price still quite high... I would have preferred around $30 (buffet only)

I took the trouble this Easter morning to realize that I didnt have any leftovers from yesterdays supper. I think the egg rolls were reheated because they were very dry and almost burnt. Additionally the chicken meatballs were very difficult to cut and the supposed chicken looked like a piece of plastic. Not so attractive to eat. The vegetable dish was almost creamy. The rice, noodles and ribs were good. It s a shame because I ve been a customer for a very long time but now I m going to use it twice. $85 for my order all the same!

$97 for two people... - The breaded chicken was ultra dry, difficult to cut. - The Chinese noodles were mushy and the meat was dry or even tough. - The shrimp were not peeled and still had the intestines and gonads. - The sushi was dry. - The meat in the Wonton soup was dry. - The churros were dry and cold and had a bit of a salty taste. To end on a good note: the onion rings werent so bad... For barely more money we have already eaten much better in much more inviting restaurants...

Above . Theres nothing like a Chinese buffet...

Remains of large volume, several dishes with questionable taste and textures.

Very long wait to receive the order and also not the right order. This isnt the first time this has happened. No refund either.

We took to bring! Honestly the quality and quantity is perfect. I highly recommend for Chinese food lovers.

Just okay...

The food was not hot enough. Its much better at Mets Chinois in St-Félicien. On the other hand, impeccable service Kid-friendliness: Yes

Very good service

Very expensive for the food offering. A surplus is charged if the waitress judges that there is wasted food. Most dishes were cold despite the hotplates. The grilled meats offered were prepared in advance and also cold. No sauce on the side. The temperature in the restaurant is freezing and Im not even talking about the temperature in the toilets. When billing, they charged 5 adults even though there were 2 children under 12 years old. However, at the start of the meal, the waitress had validated the ages. Additionally, we had reserved in advance, but had to queue with those waiting in reservation. The hall is very poorly designed and lacks space. Honestly for the price, move on, there are much better...

Waiting way too long Very high price for the quantities to go out

Buffets are excellent, varied, hot, very tasty. Beautiful atmosphere, very good service particularly by Ms. Tremblay (hahaha). Restaurant that deserves our trip.

First time in 20 years that Ive been there and I wont go back! The lunch buffet was probably what was in the buffet the day before! The chicken wings were very dry and the pasta was slimy and disgusting. I am really very disappointed! The only star is for the onion rings which were good!

Cold meal, its not fresh.

Great service, the lady was really nice, but the buffet was really mediocre, for sure I wont be returning, too expensive considering the quality of the food

REGARDER BIEN SE COMMENTAIRE. Jai était très déçu de se buffet chinois. Tout dabord il ny a aucun plat chinois a part des nouilles sans goüt et des rouleaux de printemps je tient à dire qu il était vraiment dégoûtant. Les plats sont secs et sans goûts et froid. Les dessert comme les beignets sont dure comme de la roche et sont sales. Garder votre argents

Today I went at 8:10 p.m. to eat with my family and I was informed that they no longer take people in the room after 7:30 p.m. and yet it is written on the site that the restaurant closes at 9:30 p.m. I am very disappointed, I traveled more than 20 minutes to go When leaving home I called the lady to find out the price and she didnt tell me anything about the closing times.

Hot meal and the flavors are there

Very good service and courteous as well. The food was very good.

The buffet is so good

This is the last time we leave Chicoutimi-north to eat at SAM SAM. I looked at the closing time before leaving... 9:00 p.m. We arrive there the old waitress refuses us it is 7:35 p.m. on a Thursday evening.... The buffet was full of food there were around ten customers from the restaurant.... After 7:30 p.m. we no longer take anyone.... OK Finished SAM SAM.....

Order for takeaway very ordinary to reheat from lunch separate ribs dry too cooked not man leg chickens Anna same things for 2 very disappointed I threw away 3/4

Buffet food is often too lukewarm. The quality is average.

All-you-can-eat buffet for 2 adults costing $70 and more. The food is not good either. There are about 18 dishes and a desert table and a salad table. Im disappointed that I wasted so much, but the food is not edible. In addition, the waiters collect the ice with the cocktail glasses (if the glass breaks, the broken glass will be camouflaged with ice) very dangerous The bar maid said that she didnt care how the place is, because its not important to her. In short, the food is not good, the service is not good and the quality of the work is very poor.

General Tao is excellent

Thats it.

Really disappointed, the dishes were empty, it was cold, sticky. The little sausages were white and dry, the pollock was so dry. The shop suey was greenish and a little purple, it really tasted Bizzard.. the wonton soup was dry (the pasta) but very very dry... I wont eat in this restaurant again, Im really disappointed. My waitress wasnt even able to talk to me and was so stupid that I didnt even dare to tell her.. Im still a civilized person so I left her a little $4 tip for two meals...

Everything is perfect, food, service and price.

Excellent service

Its closed

We were there yesterday for the opening, truly our worst dining experience, an endless line outside and no one to manage reservations, worst of all, once seated at our table we faced empty dishes and had to wait in line as some filled and emptied so quickly. The waitresses did their best to save the situation because their discomfort was palpable. A final bill of $120 (tip included) for what we were able to use with difficulty and misery is very expensive for us. We understand that it was the opening, but better planning in the kitchen should have been done knowing that their book was full.

The quality and taste of the food has really changed and its not for the better unfortunately I went to eat on Sunday around 7:45 p.m. (we arrived at 7 p.m. but there was a very long line until outside) and when I arrived to eat, about ten dishes were missing from the buffet.. everything was missing and we paid the same price as the others.. very disappointing.. and to say that it used to be my favorite restaurant..

We had a reservation and had to wait a good 25 minutes before being seated. The table service was correct. As for the food, I felt like I was in a canteen and not in a restaurant that had just undergone major renovations. The presentation of the food was poor, the taste of the foods displayed was not what it should have been and we had to wait for some foods because they only had one person to fill the containers. The price we had to pay was really too expensive. Finally, when the time came to pay the bill, we had to go through the main cash register because we could only pay in cash at the tables.

Very disappointed... the price is way too expensive for the quality of the food. The dishes were so salty that 4 out of 15 people in our group had digestive problems. The buffet is very small with more than half of the dishes unavailable for sometimes an hour or more. Several dishes were not identified. In short, $140 for two people for Chinese fast food without wong tong soup, chow mein and chop suey... I dont recommend it, total disappointment. Dietary restrictions: If you have high pressure problems or sensitive stomach, avoid due to the salinity of the dishes.

I am very disappointed who loves wonton soup, it was not edible. I dont understand, it seems to me that she was really good before. Vegetarian options: easy to find veggie dishes. Dietary restrictions: easy to find dishes on the vegetarian menu. Parking: too many people. lack of parking near the restaurant

Javais hâte de revenir, mais très déçu... Mauvais service, salle à manger sale, manque de nourriture dans les comptoir et mauvaise salubrité, le responsable a une attitude peu professionnelle voir pas du tout et on se grouille de nous faire quitter apres 1h00 seulement... pas prêt dy retourner malheureusement et je ne recommande vraiment pas

I had to wait 1h05 to get my meal in take out.. In addition to having errors in my choices, the food did not make me want to go back there

You should absolutely avoid this restaurant, the dishes are completely inedible. The dishes are cold and have rather questionable textures . Its very expensive for the quality of the food.

Very disappointed, almond shrimp no almonds, uncooked egg roll on one side arrived at my house cold an hour late, a very poorly invested 25 dollars.....finished for me...

I ordered and paid online to have a takeout meal supposedly ready for 6:19 p.m. and waited 45 minutes, very poor organization upon entry, no one to tell you their process. Ridiculous it has to be good but that wont change my opinion if you pay for another restaurant with service.

No less than 50 people waiting and according to them, everyone has reserved!! Restaurant overbooked, we were spoiling ourselves, when we saw that, there were 4 of us, we went to dinner elsewhere.

Two hours for delivery and he told us 3/4 hour. Ordinary. We canceled our order and on the phone endlessly before a response.

Really big noodles no chicken no onions very very ordinary...

Excellent very good thank you

Not hot enough

First experience since reopening and probably the last. Although we made a reservation, we faced a long line outside (of people in the same situation as us). No employee was present to manage reservations. Once seated at the table, after 45 minutes of delay, the dishes were almost all empty, impossible to find plates since the racks were also always empty. Same scenario for dessert. Basically: very poor management of reservations and dishes. The restaurant should take fewer reservations if it is unable to adequately meet demand. I will spare you my comments on the cleanliness of the bathrooms.

the worst employees ever seen dont go there

Everything has less taste than before. The barrel was much better

They have renovated and the buffet is still delicious the only downside is that I came last week I paid plainly pray it is your 6:30 p.m. and the buffet is empty your room I understand that the restaurant avoids wasting my money when you pay plainly price and you dont have all these a shame but it doesnt take away from this excellent restaurant

Very good service Plentiful food Very satisfied Parking: Very nice parking lot

Excellent service and the food was delicious, a little less choice than before but very good

The best Chinese Buffet in town. The best on Town!

Great service! The buffet is varied and everything is good!

Parking: Pas assez de place Food

Eggroll not crispy enough Sperib a little too dry

Very happy with the result we loved our dinner

Vegetarian options: Il y a des sushis Food

Excellent and extraordinary service

The big return of Samsam, excellent buffet, varied choices. Excellent service, slightly noisy atmosphere.

Excellent food, Caroline the best

Very good service from the waitresses!! And the food is delicious

Its cold Parking: Its good

For a long time I wanted to try the Sam Sam restaurant and I was not disappointed everything I tasted in the buffet was super good, I love the mussels and frog legs I enjoyed it, and the waitress and very jovial place very clean I will definitely return

Excellent buffet! Delicious staff! Comforting atmosphere! Perfect chocolate tart! Go ahead and enjoy!

Only positive things to say. The atmosphere and the Excellent service. Hot and delicious food. The price of the buffet is very affordable.

Its perfect! Excellent turnover, always fresh food, very professional waitresses.

I loved the food I consumed. The chicken rice is a little too dry but good. The service is second to none. Our waitress is very nice, gentle, polite and friendly. Ill come back!

A generous and varied buffet. Excellent service!

The chicken wings were a little dry and a lot of pasta and little chicken in the pineapple balls. Very good service, hot food.

It was very good, the buffet was always full and very good service from the employees.

The food is good. I would like other choices to be added to the buffet. That would make a change.

See you soon !

The rice tasted like an ashtray

Very good restaurant and the only one that offers an excellent buffet.

Very good place to eat

Disappointing buffet, in a restaurant, you couldnt order a la carte. Fries, small sausages have no place in a Chinese restaurant just as roll effects would have no place in fast food

good Chinese restaurant but there is no Italian (Pizza, pasta...) its Chinese...

Everything we ate was cold, the shrimp and frog legs were overcooked, not worth the price

Really very good lunch buffets and the very friendly waitress also impeccable service sometimes bad reviews bring improvements

Delicious and very good service. The taste on everything is excellent. Parking: Lots of places Kid-friendliness: Alright

Since the re-opening I have been going the 2nd week of October. Didnt like the food in general funny taste which is found in all the food. Frog leg overcooked, not to say charred. I had a little bit of everything and Im not picky but for 2 buffets $98.00. If it would be good I dont say but the yurk and Im not the only one who finds that it tastes like nothing or a weird taste in everything. Everything tastes like this weird. Its certain we wont go back there again. Value was better than this before the repairs.

delicious beautiful atmosphere and very good service super pleasant

Parking: Pas bcp de place a se stationner. Food

A little disappointed arrived around 7:00 p.m. and there was almost nothing left in the buffet

Really disgusting Seriously, Im outraged to have paid $77 for two people before tip!!! Its gibelotte that is served, the salad bar poor and not fresh. Ive made buffets and this is by far one of the worst. Too bad for the people of Jonquiere who dont have the chance to taste real good buffet food

We booked for 6.30am. When we arrived, it was a mess in the lobby. A crowd without a queue. No one took our name or number of people. People who wanted to leave were prevented by those waiting for their place. We waited 40 minutes before being asked if we had a reservation. There were only two of us and we were placed in the group rooms behind so it was impossible to chat. At a certain point, no more plates. You eat quickly and leave. However, the food was good and hot, thankfully but I wont go back. However, I was very eager

Excellent! Kid-friendliness: Convivial Food : 5/5 |

Excellent value for money. Very beautiful renovations and excellent service! We will definitely go back!

Excellent Chinese buffet

There isnt much choice but the lady who (manages the meats) is not friendly at all

Very good varied buffet. What can we say about homemade chicken balls, wow! a delight. An impressive choice with lots of meat. I recommend without hesitation. The lunch buffet is open Thursday to Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Cost 3 to 5 years - $7.50 6 to 10 years old - $12.50 11 to 15 years old - $15.50 16 years and over 21.50@

Only positive things to say. Beautiful atmosphere and Excellent service. Hot and delicious food.

So disappointed its been so long since I ordered from this restaurant but for 3 times in a row its cold and not good. Really sorry

Very good and hot buffet and meat, wow.

I completely hated my dinner, theres nothing interesting left, they took away the filet mignon, the skewers and lots of other things, the dishes are overcooked, and everything drips the same, its over Im putting it back never set foot there again,

Since the change of ownership and cooking it has become really bad. Today is the last time for me. The dishes are bland, tasteless and of poor quality. I am very disappointed because for me Sam Sam was the best Chinese buffet.

Not like before. Not sure Ill go back there. Missing a lot of food. However, we were during busy hours

If I could give myself zero stars I would. The food was disgusting, tasteless and would say it was a week old dish. (note the owner should do something to change this because the food has become unimaginable I know it has made it the worst restaurant I know seriously even the deserts are not edible if I would have been a gastronomic critic I know for sure that your restaurant would have closed on the field

Its very expensive and the buffet really wasnt great. We wont go back again.

A restaurant for big eaters

Arrive at the time mentioned to pick up my order, wait 15 minutes more because it is supposedly being prepared, arrive home 5 minutes later and realize that everything is cold, not lukewarm, but cold, very disappointing to be forced to put in the microwave
