The ramen was DISGUSTING! Overpriced, the egg was NOT marinated, barely any chicken, hardly any kimchi and I paid $23 dollars for spicy kimchi teriyaki ramen. You pay for a huge bowl of flavorless broth and instant noodles. Only good thing is the raw sushi here. The location causes of an overpriced menu. There’s better places around town for sure.

If it’s ramen season then that’s your reason to check out this gem in Lexington. Hands down the best ramen spot in town and anyone who says differently needs their taste buds checked out by a doctor. This is an authentic experience with ramen that hits the spot. The spicy kimchi ramen is a must try if you like heat. Everything is cooked to perfection and every bite you can tell that a lot of thought and care went into making the dish. The portions are wonderful. The best way I can put it is that it is ramen that fills your stomach and your soul.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at SAM Sushi and Ramen, and it was an experience like no other. The culinary journey began with their exceptional sushi. Each piece was an exquisite burst of flavor, fresh, and prepared to perfection, easily some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The ramen brimming with authentic, rich flavors and perfectly cooked noodles, took my taste buds on a delightful adventure.

I would not recommend this place, the food was mediocre at best. 20$ per person was a bit much for the quality of the food as well.

If you’re debating whether you should try this place or not, stop. Just go. They have excellent sushi. The staff is very friendly and it was pretty fast, all things considered. Sushi takes time to make.

I only had the ramen. The Flavor and noodles were just okay. The meat was just bad and toppings felt cold, and portions are small. I’ve definitely had worse, but not a great experience

We were very pleased with the quality of the food. Prices and selection were pretty standard for the sushi and everything was fresh. The staff were friendly and the place was very clean. We’ll definitely be back again when in the area.

The food is excellent here! Small operation so service is a bit self service like. Went through a lot of changes because of the pandemic and doesn’t seem to be going back to normal. Still, the food is good. Take out from here might be the most ideal option (as the food is served in takeout containers anyway).

Love this place. The owners are fast and efficient, and the food is creative and amazing. This is also one of the best places in town for ramen, udon and poke bowls.
