Wow! This is a great little place. The Cambodian Stew is amazing: one of the best dishes I've had in recent years: bursting with favour. I highly recommend. My wife liked the Pad Thai I brought home as well. Thank you!

We discovered this hidden gem not too long ago. They have some really good food. I love the Thai cuisine which they do very well, my partner loves their burgers. They have a bit of everything. I also love how they keep updating their drink menu's. We really love the boba tea's! There are so many we are still working our way through the menu trying them all!

Very clean and well-renovated modern establishment with very friendly service. Went there for lunch on a Sunday: had a chicken quesadilla, crispy egg noodle stir fry with chicken, mild Pad Thai with chicken, beef skewers/fried egg/rice and a Sam’s specialty burger with fries. Food service was very quick and timely, waitress knew who ordered what. Asian cuisine is very well-valued and bubble tea is also delicious! We have also been for breakfast and it’s also great!

Been to this long time regular restaurant before, I noticed on the awning sign they advertised now served Thai, Cambodian and Vietnamese cuisine. The restaurant was subtlety changed inside. Tastefully done and the place was spotless. Very friendly server took our order. The pad Thai I ordered was delicious. I don't have to go to Toronto for Asian cuisine anymore. For those that like Asian food, I highly recommend you try Sam's Diner. For those that don't, they still serve good Regular western fare. Try them you won't regret itgmmmmmn

Excellent Thai food. Haven't tried their more "traditional" diner items but there's no need. The area needs a place like this with more diverse cuisine!

We stopped in at this place on our way to Erieau on Friday afternoon. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner (Ravi) and chatting about the biz. The menu is quite diverse with something for everyone including an all day breakfast. We ordered the Pad Thai and the green curry and rice. Both dishes were perfectly spiced (hot!) and very authentic. Everything is made from scratch with good ingredients. If you are in the area stop in for a delicious lunch/breakfast/dinner. Closed Mondays!

Wonderful spot! We have had pad thai takeout from here before but today was the first time eating in. Such a great variety of food! We had vegetarian egg rolls, beef skewers with garlic toast, chicken fried rice and tofu coconut curry noodle soup - all fantastic. The chef (and possibly owner?) was so kind and amazing. Definitely recommend
