Sam's Fine Food & Egg Rolls

Good food. Freshly made. And egg rolls and pot stickers are enormous. Sam is also a good dude

I really like the empress chicken I got and, enjoyed seeing it was made fresh instead of sitting in a warmer. The meats texture was the best I've had in a long time. Definitely not just cheap tough meat. The hot and sour soup was so good. I'm happy to finally have some hot and sour soup that actually has a lot of stuff in it. The portions are pretty big.

The best Chinese I've had in Des Moines yet. Cooked fresh with natural ingredients. Very nice staff. I would highly recommend it.

Sam's Fine Egg Roll is a tiny place. There are a handful of tables inside and one outside. Sam is the cook, and he greeted me with a cheery "hello" as soon as I stepped inside. The woman at the counter (I didn't get her name) was friendly. I placed my order and paid, sat down and she brought out my Pepsi. In more of an iced tea drinker but they only serve cans of pop or water, which was fine. She brought me a cup of ice, too, which I appreciated. The egg roll was the best I've had, and the Mongolian beef was delicious. They were generous with the beef. I was checked on a couple times, and there was a steady stream of customers. Definitely worth the trip.

Delicious food, tastes home cooked. The battering and crust for egg rolls and ragoons was delicious and crunchy. Prices were very reasonable and large portions. Inside is TINY. Room for 3 tables so consider takeout. Dine in allows you to meet the host, Cookie Monster, which is quite an experience. Very friendly and polite guy
