If you haven’t heard of Sam Bo Chinese Food, you’re in for a treat. Or a mistake, depending on how hungry you are right now—because after this, you’re gonna be craving crispy egg rolls and saucy noodles like your life depends on it.
I stumbled upon Sam Bo Chinese Food on a desperate Tuesday night when my fridge contained exactly three sad grapes and an expired yogurt. A quick search led me there, and let’s just say I’ve been back more times than I’d care to admit. Their menu? Stacked. Their portions? Big enough to make me question my ability to “just save some for later” (spoiler: I never do).
Anyway, let’s talk about the dishes you have to try. Because while everything at Sam Bo Chinese Food is good, some of it is so ridiculously good that you’ll wonder why you ever settled for that sad mall food court lo mein.
First Things First: Appetizers You Can’t Skip
Appetizers are supposed to “warm up your appetite.” I say they’re a test of willpower. Because if you think I can stop at one crab rangoon, you don’t know me.
1. Egg Rolls
Crispy. Golden. Stuffed with a mix of meat and veggies. Dip it in the tangy sauce, and suddenly, all is right in the world. (Or at least on your plate.)
2. Crab Rangoon
Listen. I’ve had bad crab rangoon before—greasy, soggy, weirdly sweet. The ones at Sam Bo Chinese Food? Perfectly crispy little pockets of crabby, creamy goodness. If loving them is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
3. Wonton Soup
It’s warm, it’s comforting, and it’s basically a hug in a bowl. Those delicate pork-filled dumplings floating in flavorful broth? Yeah, they’re magic.
The Heavy Hitters: Sam Bo Chinese Food’s Best Entrees
Now we’re getting to the real deal. The dishes that make you unbutton your jeans halfway through but keep eating anyway.
4. General Tso’s Chicken
Sweet. Savory. Spicy. Crunchy. Basically, all the best words in one dish. I tried making this at home once—let’s just say the fire department now knows my name. Better to leave it to the pros at Sam Bo Chinese Food.
5. Mongolian Beef
Tender slices of beef stir-fried with scallions and a sauce that makes you wanna lick the plate (no judgment if you do). Pro tip: Get extra rice because you’re gonna want to soak up every last drop of that sauce.
6. Orange Chicken
Not the sad, dry kind from a heat lamp at some questionable buffet. This is crispy, juicy chicken coated in a citrusy, tangy sauce that actually tastes like real oranges.
7. Kung Pao Shrimp
A little spicy, a little nutty, a whole lotta flavor. The shrimp are plump, the sauce has that perfect kick, and the peanuts add the crunch you didn’t know you needed.
Noodles & Rice: The Unsung Heroes of Sam Bo Chinese Food
Some people think of rice and noodles as a side dish. Those people are wrong.
8. Chicken Lo Mein
Thick, chewy noodles tangled up with juicy chicken and crisp veggies. Slurpable, savory, and way too easy to eat in one sitting.
9. Beef Chow Fun
Flat rice noodles stir-fried to perfection with tender beef. Slightly smoky, super satisfying. And way more fun to eat than the name suggests.
10. Shrimp Fried Rice
If your idea of fried rice is the sad, pale stuff from a drive-thru, prepare to have your mind blown. This is golden, fluffy, packed with plump shrimp and little bursts of flavor in every bite.
Vegetarian? No Problem.
Even if you’re skipping meat, Sam Bo Chinese Food has plenty of options that’ll make you forget you’re eating healthy.
11. Buddha’s Delight
Tofu, mushrooms, and a mix of veggies stir-fried in a light but flavorful sauce. My attempt to make this at home resulted in me setting off my smoke alarm. So now I just order it from here.
12. Szechuan Tofu
Crispy tofu, spicy Szechuan sauce, and enough flavor to make you not miss meat at all. If you like a little heat, this one’s for you.
So, Why Sam Bo Chinese Food?
Honestly? Because it’s good. And not just “yeah, this is fine” good—like, text-your-friends-immediately good.
- Authentic flavors – Nothing watered down, nothing bland. Just real-deal Chinese food that tastes like it should.
- Fresh ingredients – Because no one likes limp veggies or rubbery chicken.

Final Thoughts (AKA My Last Attempt to Convince You)
Look, if you made it this far and still haven’t pulled up Sam Bo Chinese Food’s menu, I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you like being hungry? Maybe you enjoy depriving yourself of perfectly crispy egg rolls and saucy noodles?
But if you do decide to check them out, just know you’re in for something special. And if you see someone in the corner going ham on a plate of General Tso’s Chicken… yeah, that’s probably me.
