First time here but loos like this will be a good experience

Christian P.

Great place with really nice people! All the food here is actually good, but the pho is especially amazing--packed with great flavor. This has become our go-to lunch spot. If you've never tried this place, you're definitely missing out. Highly recommend!

5 Stars - Better Than Panda Express, Hidden Gem! When you leave with empty plates, that's always a good sign--and that's exactly what happened here! We ordered the Orange Chicken and it was amazing--crispy even after 15 minutes. Definitely better than Panda Express. The Spicy Beef was packed with flavor, and the Pho my wife ordered had a rich, comforting broth with super fresh ingredients. On top of the great food, the lady who helped us was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The place is a little hidden, but totally worth finding. Big menu, great flavors, awesome service--we'll definitely be back!

Walking in you get sketchy; but we are glad we decided to just go all in. We order vegetable spring rolls, as you can taste it's homemade even to tasting the ginger. The orange chicken was more a 9 out of 10 as it lacked garnish and peppers. We had the full combination for the rice, and it was Amazing !

Very yummy food! Food came out fast , and service was friendly. Inside is small and cozy and neat, wish music was playing tho lol

Fried shrimp. Crunchy on the outside, pure goodness on the inside.

Wife came here with friends from work and loved it. She suggested I try it out. Very happy that I did. Freshly made food, excellent service, generous portions and best of all, it was very cheap. SUPPORT your local business. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

Deep within the plaza lies a gem. Tucked away from the gaze of casual eyes, there is Sam Hut. The food and service here is consistently great! The variety of Pho options all delicious. My favorite is the beef pho. The broth is rich and has that "je ne sais quoi" texture to it. This place has easily become my favorite Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant within the area. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Sam Hut Vietnamese ,Chinese and Boba Restaurant in Calimesa,California is a must try "hidden gem"! Sam Hut prepares everything fresh but is very prompt. They have a a large menu featuring delicious pho noodle soups,I had their signature house combination pho and it was terrific! They have delicious fried rice,chow mein,steamed rice dishes and a great selection of BOBA! They also feature delicious appetizers-I had their crispy fried shrimp and really tasted great! Just FYI their home made chile oil is hot,crunchy and delicious! The portions are good sized and prices are very fair for the quality.The restaurant is sparkling clean. Plenty of free parking open Mon-Sat 11AM to 8 PM closed Sundays. You'll have a terrific Pho,Chinese food and BOBA experience at Sam Hut Restaurant. read more

Little shop nestled up in a corner shopping strip. Super clean, little dive joint but upscale cleanliness. I can here for the advertised Vietnamese but there was hardly a Vietnamese dish on the menu besides a selection (hardly) of pho. So my craving for spring rolls almost had me leave but the staff was so nice & I wanted to support this family business. So I swollen my craving & tried out a couple items. All of it was clean & fresh and had Chinese been my desire it would have been a dead bang winner. I don't want to knock off stars bc I didn't look at the menu to see the limited Vietnamese entrees. So I caution you if that is your desire it will not be here. Chinese is excellent though. A bit of a language barrier but nothing we couldn't work thru with kindness & patience. read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Its hard to see it since it is in the corner of the plaza in between 2 other businesses that overlap the entrance of the place. I wish I had known of it before since there is not too many options that I enjoy around my neighborhood. The owner was very attentive with us and made sure everything was good. The food was sooooo good. I had the war wonton soup and my son had orange chicken with fried rice. He loved the fried rice and enjoyed the chicken as well. They also have Boba!

My partner and I decided to try after I had seen someone's review on a Facebook page. It was a rainy day, so some comfort food sounded perfect! The person manning all stations (server, cook, phone operator, etc.) greeted us and let us know it was only him that night. The rain had caused lower demand, and less labor. He worked tirelessly to keep everything afloat! Even with all that, the food was absolutely fantastic. Worth the small wait and we will absolutely be back!! The veg egg rolls and spicy basil chicken are must tries!! True hole in the wall shop, and limited seating (only 5 tables in dining area). read more

Four days ago, in late afternoon I went inside and ordered take-out dinner for myself and my wife from Sam Hut. The ambiance was quite simple and the interior was clean. Service was fast and polite. My wife had orange chicken with fried rice and I had Mongolian beef with chow mein. There was only one other couple dining while I waited for the food. I think the cost was probably three to five dollars more expensive than in other nearby Chinese restaurants. When I got home we ate our meals and they were tasty. My wife did not eat any of my meal, but I ate several pieces of her orange chicken. Later that evening we both developed extreme intestinal cramps and diarrhea until approximately 4:00 AM the following morning. It was an extremely unpleasant experience for both of us. Based on this, I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

This place is over-hyped. I guess not having much competition around skews people's perceptions. Pretty underwhelmed by our meals. Orange chicken Full order dosn't even come with rice or any kind of side at all and the shrimp in the Pho are the smallest I've ever been served anywhere. :/ I'll stick with Ocean Pho from now on, as it's much better for Pho dishes, with more generous sizes and better quality proteins. read more

This is literally a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I honestly thought this was going to be like a another "meh" restaurant and I was wrong!

For a Saturday at 4:30pm, we were seated and waited on immediately. The menu was expansive and I was surprised with the amount of vegetarian options for a Chinese restaurant. Our server was helpful in suggesting various fish options and knew their wait times. Some notable dishes were the sizzling beef with black pepper, beef scallion rolls, honey walnut chicken, mapo tofu, and fried chicken. The dishes that could be improved for flavor were the vegetarian steamed dumplings, steamed whole fish, and beef chow fun. We probably ordered around 8-10 plates (all dishes came with rice) and many arrived at the same time. The prices were very reasonable for the portions and it was just enough for everyone. Since we had a birthday celebrant, they were able to put our personal cake in the fridge. Our server provided a complimentary matcha cheesecake and candle towards the end of our meal. His robot server sidekick also sang happy birthday! I did feel like they were understaffed because the lobby hostess had to find the server for me several times when I asked for our cake and the check.

When we arrived, the hostess attempted to seat us at a table that would not have comfortably accommodated our group. I politely asked if we could be seated at a nearby table that had more space. In response, she rolled her eyes and let out an audible sigh, which felt unprofessional and dismissive. When we were eventually seated at the requested table, she placed the menus down abruptly and did not hand one to me directly, instead leaving it at the end of the table. The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude and, frankly, not in line with the level of service I would expect from a hostess. That said, I want to note that the rest of our experience was positive. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food itself was also very good (I would not recommend the orange chicken though) and something I would return for. I hope management takes the opportunity to address the front-of-house experience, as first impressions matter and can significantly impact a guest's overall perception.

If you're looking for a place that delivers both fantastic taste and great value, Sam Hut is a must-visit. The food here is outstanding--each dish is packed with flavor, and you can tell they use fresh, quality ingredients. Whether you're going for their signature dishes or trying something new, you won't be disappointed. What's even better is the portion size for the price--definitely worth every penny. It's the perfect balance of flavor, quality, and affordability. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Very nice hole in the wall Asian cuisine. I ordered the Chow Mein with Kung Pao shrimp, very delicious and tasteful. Everything here is made to order which makes the food coming out very FRESH! They also have Boba which looks delicious but didn't get to try it at this time. The young Asian lady working the cashier is very nice and attentive. I will definitely be back to try all the delicious foods they have to offer and will recommend all my family and friends. read more

This newly opened restaurant is great. The chef is sweet. He comes out and greets his customers. I had the combination pho, it was great. My nephews had beef fried rice and Orange Chicken, these boys are pretty picky and they enjoyed the food. read more
