Sam Ramen

Came here for lunch on a cool day with a friend. This place was clean and quiet on a weekday. Our waitress was attentive and gave us great recommendations. They have a lunch special with sushi rolls but I wanted to give their ramen a try this go around. Their spicy miso is a fan favorite but I wanted something with seafood so I went for the spicy seafood Korean style ramen. It was definitely spicy but not overbearing. I enjoyed the shrimp and scallops that came with the ramen and loved how much fresh veggies came with it! The egg was probably my favorite part, it was so flavorful and cooked just right. I definitely recommend this place - you won't be disappointed!!

If you love your stomach don't eat here! I ordered today a ramen and it made me sick. I had to vomit while I was driving. I have a very strong stomach and this is the second time in my whole life that I get food poisoning. I managed to vomit on my polo shirt but unfortunately my car got messed up. I'll post more pictures once I arrive home. I called the manager and explain the situation. She did not seem to be apologetic and she said she couldn't do anything. Please, eat somewhere else. The place is expensive for this to happen!

Love coming here , but we came at 9:15 pm...they close at 10:05 and they said they were doing to go orders only. So thought it would be important to share. No sign posted anywhere, but if that's going to be their business practice then they need to post it somewhere. Other than that never have an issue coming here. Food is delicious, it's kept clean, and staff is normally very nice.

Amazing ramen place to go too! Staff is always super friendly and the food is freshly made ready hot! My go-to ramen is Garlic Black Bean Ramen with extra egg added in. Favorite appetizer: cheese wontons & gyoza (pan fried dumplings). Bathrooms are always clean and smell like flowers, so they are good about their work environment being clean too. Cute little detail that I noticed is that they have a flower on each table. Glad to have a really good ramen place on 242 that is easy to stop by and grab a bite!

Delicious food and great service. The edamame and gyoza are always a nice addition if you want an appetizer, and the tonkatsu and spicy miso ramens are delicious. I've come back a handful of times and always enjoy it!

Good service and clean place. This is my second time trying ramen and it's just not my thing, so I don't put that on them. My lady had the sushi and enjoyed it.

I had already reviewed this place, I mentioned I would come back and I did.I ordered the spicy curry ramen, I never thought it would be 10 out of 10 spicy! I could not eat it, the person in charge was very accommodating, they even brought more broth to help tone down the spiciness. Unfortunately it didn't help. I know next time to not order anything spicy at Sam Ramen. I have no issues with the spice levels at other restaurants. The waitress and the manager were both super helpful, polite, friendly, and available to help in any way. This is why I keep coming back to this place, and I will come back and try a different ramen soup. I am on a mission to be in love with the food at this place, I already love their service!

Since it was a cold and gloomy day, I wanted something nice and warm. Something like a nice big bowl of soup, better yet...a bowl of ramen! My husband isn't as big a fan of ramen as my son and I are but he acquiesced and off we went. First, I love the vibe of this place! Really clean, bright and great seating. We ordered way too much food but hey LEFTOVERS! By the time we left my husband had pronounced this his favorite bowl of ramen yet! We will definitely be back, again and again!

The curry ramen was so yummy, the broth was very flavorful. I enjoyed the bao bun as well. Will return! The waitress was also very kind, I started coughing because I drank to much water and she got so concerned it was cute. She was also very kind to my 2 year old son. Very warm environment.

Why 5 stars? Because this was the best ramen I've had in the area. --- --- ---I think I bookmarked Sam Ramen about 2 years ago. Every time it gets cold outside since then, I've thought, "I should check out that Sam Ramen place," but then I don't, and next thing you know, it's summer and I don't want ramen anymore. But finally, I was determined to come check it out, despite it being a pretty warm February day. I was a bit congested and just like all doctors advise, I thought ramen would be the best medicine.Since moving to the area about 2.5 years ago, I've had ramen at a few different places and have been disappointed each time. I'm not sure if it's just the nature of living in the suburbs or that too many places are attempting to master a concept that requires more work than they're willing to admit, but either way, the subpar experiences have almost ruined ramen for me. Almost.Sam Ramen, thankfully, was anything but subpar. Was the tonkotsu the best ramen I've ever had in my life? I can't say that, but I've also had ramen in Tokyo aka the mecca. But this was definitely my favorite to-date in the Houston area and it hit the spot perfectly. Probably the one nitpick is that I like a thicker noodle, but the flavor of everything was pretty perfect. My wife ordered some edamame and some sushi, which I also indulged on. Edamame would never be my choice, but did I eat like 100 of them? Absolutely. She also let me have some of her Shaggy Dog roll, which was solid, but not as great as the ramen. Our service was also prompt and friendly. Kudos to Sam Ramen and sorry it took me so long to visit!
