Back in the days when I was an Executive Assistant, one of my jobs was picking up food from Samurai Sam's for one of my more health conscious execs - so I would occasionally pick something up for myself. I found the food fresh and tasty.
Years, and many jobs later, we found ourselves starving mid-day and were passing this area by. My husband had never been, so we popped in to grab something quick. I got the veggie bowl with brown rice. It was just OK - not as good as I remember. Kind of tasted "too healthy" with not enough deep sauce flavors.
I have to say - the best thing about this place was the staff. The girl that took our order was happily singing along to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and evangelizing about the greatness of Queen. The entire staff obviously got along and were enjoying working there together - not something I expect from a casual FF joint. That wins an additional star from me immediately.
