Have you ever had a craving for Chinese food or noodles but didn’t feel like going downtown to Chinatown to get it? I know I do and sometimes, I just don’t have the time or the patience to go over there. Be advised that you must bring a fatter wallet than you normally do because Sammy’s is not only not located in Chinatown, but they also do not charge Chinatown prices. Think about that! Located in the West Village, Sammy’s is the sure quick solution for your my Chinese craving!

After walking though the entire Caesars Palace, Finechinaguy and I were famished! Do you know how big this Hotel/Casino is? Huge! They have this huge shopping center called “The Forum Shops” and there are just tons of stores that you can go shop. Anyways, I was craving for Japanese and decided to check out this restaurant before we went in. We looked at the menu which is conveniently located outside, see below, and saw how expensive a bowl of noodles are! Regardless, I was not in the mood to go anywhere else because I was so drained from all the walking so we settled down for this restaurant.

This little hidden gem of a Thai restaurant is on Centre St. right between Chinatown and Soho. FineChinaGirl’s friend recommended a get together here and it did not disappoint at all! The owner of the restaurant will make sure your food tastes great and you enjoy it. She even cooks the food as she started it originally by herself. Dishes ranged from $7-9 and Chef Specials at $12-15, it is fairly cheap and you won’t be regret. Now onto the pictures!
Saha-Thai Crispy Vegetable Dumpling (Fried) w/Sweet Soy Sauce
Doesn’t that look delicious? It tasted delicious too. I’ve never had dumplings that looked like this good. Lots more after the jump!
Las Vegas Caesar’s Palace – Hyakumi Japanese Restaurant Sushi Bar & Noodles
After walking around all day towards Caesar’s Palace, which simply amazed us, we were hungry of course. But we had to eat light! How else would we last for more buffets? We didn’t even eat breakfast just to save our appetite.

Just had to show this picture that came out great of the fountain inside the main entrance. Restaurant and more importantly, food after the jump!

My parents love to come here when they want good inexpensive Chinese food. I grew up eating the food here before they became a restaurant. Back then, it was a very small take out restaurant that made all sorts of tasty dishes. Now it’s a big restaurant that looks pretty nice. The same owners are still here and I can see that they worked very hard to where are they are now.
I used to come here for the noodles for their kick ass elbow macaroni in soup, rice noodles with beef, and green peas and minced meat over rice. Kick ass. Today I come here with my family to see if the food still taste as good.
I have to admit, despite that it changed and it became a restaurant, the place is still pretty dirty, especially the bathrooms. Oh, please don’t go to the bathroom because it’s soooo dirty. yuck! I was so traumatized. Let’s just say, stick to the upstairs bathroom. The table might be sticky, so be warned. If you can overlook that, you’ll have a good eating experience.
Lychee Ice, $2.25
This drink isn’t that great really. It can be better. What else can I say? It was flavorless and there was just too much ice. I was pretty disappointed in it.

Iced Milk Tea, $1.75
I had a sip of this and it’s bitter as hell. What the f—, where’s the sugar?? I actually don’t ask much in a ice milk tea, but this is really bitter to drink. Only my brother can chug this down.

Beef stew w/rice noodles, $3.75
Oh, this soup reminded me of the same soup that I had when I was a kid. Ahh, good memories. Now this a good soup! This soup goes really well with the rice noodles. I only had a bite of this since it wasn’t my dish, but it is very good!

Beef Tripe Medley w/turnip and rice noodles, $3.50
This is the thing that you have to order here! I’m sorry for not taking another picture, but underneath it there are your rice noodles. Yum, the meat is nice and tender and the soup goes so well with the rice noodle! I used to order a lot of this when I was a kid!

Wonton & Roasted Pork w/dry lo mein, Price: $6.25
Oh man, this is by far is the most unappetizing lo mein dish I have ever seen. At NYC Noodletown, their presentation is far better and it tastes better. I don’t like how they slice up my roasted pork like that and just about throw a bunch of food together.

Pan fried noodles w/chicken and mushroom, Price – $8.25
This is my brother’s dish and it tastes a little better than my dish, previous one, because this is pan fried. But other than that, I didn’t like this dish because it tastes like everything was thrown in last minute.

I would definitely recommend the soup noodles here. So come on down and give it a shot!
