SAM - sushi and meat in München

The food is very good, but unfortunately the service is not at all under control, even if it is. the place is virtually empty. The “starters” come after (!) the main courses; it is also not possible for four people to get their food at the same time. And special requests like a glass with the bottle of Giesinger will only be fulfilled if you get it yourself.

Great fresh sushi and a very friendly staff that can speak English. Tyler was phenomenal!

such a nice team every time we come. Totally relaxed, lovely atmosphere and super delicious food!!

Everything we ate was delicious and beautifully decorated. The service was very nice and quick. We'll be back!

Solid food and friendly service

Very tasty, also the cocktails 🤩

Everything we tried, starters and main courses, tasted excellent. The dishes were freshly prepared, delicious, and beautifully presented. The portion of Japanese curry would have been enough for two, it was that big (see pictures) 😁 Unfortunately, the ambience in the restaurant doesn't quite do justice to the quality of the food, it looks a bit improvised. In addition, the ventilation overall is not that good, so the kitchen smells spread throughout the dining room.

Very tasty, huge portion of ramen!

Everything is fresh and delicious.

always nice. probably the best ramen in Munich

A great team and good sushi! We had a wonderful time

Great service and very tasty food. Even on a Friday evening when the restaurant was very full, the waiter was still able to organize a seat for us. Unfortunately, we were unlucky that a large group of 25 people came at the same time as us and the waitresses were a bit overwhelmed, but it was still managed well and we didn't have to wait long for the food. Prices are very high, but unfortunately that is now the case in Munich.

Everything is great! I (we) will definitely be back

Service was once friendly, currently rough.

We were there on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Service is quick and courteous. Food (sushi, ramen and dessert) very tasty and nicely presented. I currently only see one disadvantage: The premises are cool. I have to confess, I frozen. A rush of cold air came through the front door every time new guests came in. The seating furniture rather barren without a backrest. Unfortunately, the ambience doesn't invite you to linger for a longer period of time. A window was open in the toilet - it was bitterly cold. We've just arrived home: we're very full - but we need a hot water bottle first. We will definitely come back - with a thick sweater over it.

Full but cozy, shared a table and enjoyed the ramen

Very tasty sushi. And always nice people🌸

Fun shop, casual atmosphere, very youthful. Food was great!

Super fast and friendly service, very good sushi. I'm just not really getting used to the seats on the padded drinks crates...

Extravagant and creative sushi variants. Highly recommended! Very warm service.

It's absolutely disgusting how regular customers are treated here on a regular basis. I won't order here anymore. With these extremely high prices, you can expect that at least out of 5 orders the sauce won't be missing four times or the quality will fluctuate so much. It's a shame because it used to be much better and efforts were still being made.

Two people were there in November. The first course was a 5/10. But the frames tasted very strange. What we also noticed the next evening. They both sat in front of the bowl and puked everything out.

Great sushi, cool izakaya atmosphere! (Unfortunately ramen wasn't for me)

Very tasty food and well priced. Plus a nice atmosphere and service. Gladly again :)

Here we had our best dinner in München. Very nice personnel and very tasty food! We enjoyed here ramen and tapas

Simply cool location, friendly service and fair prices

Went there for the first time today. Gyoza, Ramen and Japanese Mule were very tasty and the service was top 😁

Incredibly tasty ramen, nice service and good atmosphere 10/10.

I can only recommend the Sam - sushi and meat! Super tasty 😋 The waitresses are very, very friendly! the best sushi in Munich. I would love to come back again and again!

Very unusual and extremely delicious food. The sushi is phenomenal and I think one of the best sushi restaurants in Munich! Friendly service and the truffle sushi is simply unique!

Ramen tastes sooo good. Highly recommended

Really high-quality lunch menu with a reasonable price. Vegetables and fillers are still crunchy and not overcooked.

The best ramen in Munich, very tasty and served quickly

Great place to eat in peace. The cocktails are good, i liked the japanese mule a lot. The service is great, they are attentive but they dont bother you.

Inventive cuisine, not the usual. We particularly liked the mango rolls. Otherwise we had Alaska rolls and a large bowl. The two salads: seaweed and spinach were also good. 0.75l seltzer is very expensive at 7.80. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and it was very nice to sit outside in the beautiful Westend.

Best authentic cuisine anywhere! Always delicious - now for almost 10 years.

The tempura into the tempura bowl should be more thoroughly described in the menu - creates disappointment and with the add ons to the bowl that seemed like a boring radom mix, it was not worth the price. We had a Ramen served at our table that was the better part of the visit. In general the heart lacked into the food.

This restaurant is really really slow even though it wasn’t as crowded (at least compared to other restaurants nearby). They bring the dishes out in random order and the first dishes delivered are cold by the time the last dish is served.

The sushi was fantastic, the service was attentive and caring and the atmosphere on the street was cozy. I highly recommend this place.

For whatever reason, it tastes different than before. Besides, it costs more & the portion seems smaller. Bring the old Sam Ramen back, pleeeeeeaz :(

I had dinner here one year ago, I still remember the cozy ambiance and tasty food. One thing I really didn't appreciate was that when I had to pay the waitress said "the tip isn't included" with an entitled tone. I mean, tips are not compulsory and it's not the customer's responsibility if the waitress is unhappy with the salary.

Really cozy ambience - it doesn't matter if you sit outside to see the beautiful neighborhood or inside with those fancy neon lights 🤩 Service was really friendly as well. Unfortunately I couldn't try the sushi so I can't make a judgement here but the curry was really nice. The veggie Ramen was nice but nothing too crazy in my opinion. To make the best of it, plan at least 30€ per person. Overall a place I'm happy to recommend 😋

Always delicious and great service. It's not really comfortable to sit on the stools inside, but it's fine for eating

The plate for 2 was very good, we were also able to customize it. Our favorites: Rolls with truffles and yellowtail sashimi. We know a lot of sushi in Munich, this one is very good value for money.

Didn't think we could have good yellow tail sashimi so far from the source, but we did.

Like the restaurant very much. The food is really great, especially the sushi. The staff is super friendly. I can only recommend Basil Spritz!

The food quality was below average, you can definitely find better sushi in Munich. As for the service we ordered sushi on fire, the changed the order to another more expensive sushi plate without telling us. As for the atmosphere they use bier boxes as seats. One star because it doesn't have zero star.

Highly recommend—everything tasted wonderful and excellent service!

Excellent sushi, great cocktails, super friendly service. We'll be back ☺️🤍🍣

Great cocktails even without alcohol. Food was great.

We were there for lunch. The selection on the lunch menu is quite manageable. We chose two different of the few sushi options. Unfortunately for me it's one of the worst sushis I've ever eaten and too expensive for this quality. We were there for the first time. When I asked my colleague what he thought of the sushi without saying anything about my impression, he shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head. ... unfortunately we will probably have been there for the last time. When “Sushi” appears as the first part of the restaurant name and the prices, the expectations were set accordingly.

Great food, incredibly nice boss! I really enjoyed it 😊

the veggie crispy bowl is so good

Very good Japanese kitchen, we really enjoyed the fresh ingredients and the tasty food. I can definitely recommend it.

The SAM restaurant is an outstanding address for Japanese fusion cuisine. The service is always extremely friendly and attentive, which rounds off the culinary experience perfectly. The food is simply top notch and the ramen is my personal favorite. The modern ambience completes the experience and makes SAM a must-visit place.

Good... but the ingredients of the bowl were dry....

We made a reservation today through Natascha. We received a very friendly welcome from Fabi. The food was very, very tasty and, above all, fresh. Quality simply sensational. Fabi gave us professional advice and service. It should be noted that as a guest you can see what a good concept is behind it. The calm manner of the waiter Fabi, even though he served many guests, gave everyone the feeling that they were alone and very important. It's crazy, I haven't eaten sushi as good as I did here in Ligsalzstr. 30 Conclusion: Thanks to the great team and Fabi who prepared us a great lunch. The food was simply fabulous. Sabine & Mina

Wow, the best sushi I've had in a long time, why wasn't I here sooner?? At first glance it seems rather simple, but I can only recommend the dishes! Phenomenal! Especially great in summer when you can sit outside!

Great food, ramen one of the best in Munich in my opinion. Sitting for long periods is rather uncomfortable, too deep and no backrest. But everything went great.

Ramen is delicious, service was quick and nice. But 2 double espressos for 12€?!? It puts a damper on lunch a bit.

The food was very good, service was courteous. What was extremely annoying was that the door closer didn't close the door correctly and kept pulling it out of place. No matter where you sat in the entrance area on the left. Implemented it twice and it didn't help. What you need to be aware of is that upside-down beverage crates with seat cushions act as seating here. Everyone has to judge for themselves whether they want to do this for longer. The room does not have soundproof ceilings, so of course the noise level is the same when the restaurant is full. On-site parking is a challenge, depending on the time of day.

Food was okay, ramen and staff weren't really authentic.

The food was very fresh and good. While sitting, you are sitting on top of the water caskets, but this supports the authenticity of the environment. The employees are polite and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend their sushi.

Service and quality of the food are very good, the price is high but the quality is also very high and fresh.

We recently had lunch here with a larger group. Even without a reservation we probably would have gotten a spot. The food was - as always - great. Bowls, sushi, ramen or daily special - everyone was very satisfied. The service was also friendly, attentive and quick: the latecomer in our group received his food almost at the same time as everyone else. The only small drawback: tables and chairs are relatively low and not that comfortable. But the food is more important. 😉

It was tasty sushi, but pricey. We ordered a platter for three people. Price for all three for the sushi platter 117€ (39€p.p).

A wide array of food options and excellent service too, our waiter was kind and considerate. We enjoyed a chicken ramen and seafood katsu curry, both fantastic. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner in Munich!

Very nice restaurant. We enjoyed our meal here

Prices out of control. €5.20 for a 0.4 juice spritzer is a disgrace. Food also bland and simply overpriced.

Great food and sushi. The service could have been a little faster and more coordinated, but it was good. Nice atmosphere, tends to be rather loud

Ramen used to be more and more varied. The trend is towards a fast food chain, this feeling was not conveyed two years ago, which is a shame.

The food is great and the service is also very good. Unfortunately it is very cold in the restaurant because the door doesn't close completely and there is no vestibule. Personally, I would have preferred a real chair to sit on.

So far I have ordered regularly from Sushi & Sam and the quality of the sushi delivered has always been impeccable. Today, however, I ventured to eat locally for the first time. Unfortunately, I and my friend discovered that it was so cold in the store that it didn't exactly invite you to linger for any longer. The positive side first: The sushi quality was, as usual, excellent. Fresh, delicious and well presented. I was already expecting this and was not disappointed. However, the cold in the restaurant significantly dampened our experience. We were forced to finish our meal quickly as the uncomfortable temperature range affected the enjoyment. It would be advisable for the restaurant to improve the heating or at least ensure that the indoor environment is more comfortable to encourage guests to stay longer. Even though the quality of the sushi remains first-class, the atmosphere plays an important role in an all-round successful experience. Hopefully this will be taken into account in the future to optimize the overall guest experience

Sehr leckeres Essen und sehr gutes Sushi. Der Service ist freundlich und kompetent. Sind hier bereits wiederholt gewesen aufgrund des leckeren Essens. Lediglich die Hocker sind etwas unbequem und es fehlt eine Geräuschdämmung.

Cooles, kompetentes Team und super gutes Essen.

Da schmeckt mir alles, noch nie was schlechtes gegessen!

We come here on a regular basis, our favourites are the gyoza, takoyakis and the sushi plate for two. Also don't miss out on the pork belly and Japanese potato salad!

Best sushi I’ve had in Munich by far. Super tasty, fresh, and full of flavor. My go to place when I want to impress someone who likes sushi. Service was also fantastic. Not your typical Bavarian angry-service. Sam and Natasha were attentive, informative, and I felt like they were genuinely happy to serve me; in case you’re new to Germany, this is not the norm for German service. Above and beyond my expectations every time I visit.

Das Essen war sehr gut, man sitzt nur wahnsinnig ungemütlich. Das Restaurant ist für eine schnelle Mahlzeit geeignet, zum längeren Verweilen und einem gemütlichen Ratsch eher nicht. Service war ok.

Un peut cher mais vraiment bon...belle expérience je recommande l endroit belle décos et service au top

Mein vegetarisches Sushi war ganz gut, aber nicht besonders hervorzuheben. Mein gewünschtes Getränk von der Karte war leider ausverkauft, somit habe ich zum Standard-Sushi ein Standard-Getränk zu mir genommen. Mein Essen kam leider erst auf Nachfrage und kam dann erst nachdem mein Gegenüber schon fast mit seinem Essen fertig war. Es gibt keine normale Bestuhlung, sondern man sitzt auf Hockern, die aus Getränke-Kisten gebastelt sind. Wir wurden (trotz Reservierung) an eine große Tafel in mitten von anderen Gruppen gehockt. Die Tischbeine sind ebenfalls aus Getränke Kisten, wodurch wenig Beinfreiheit bleibt. Service, Atmosphäre und Ausstattungsniveau entspricht eher einem Stundencafé, wobei die Preise durchaus gehoben sind. Summa sumarum würde ich auf Grund des Preis -/Leistungsverhältnis das Lokal weder weiter empfehlen, noch ein weiteres Mal besuchen. Es war allerdings sehr voll mit ständig wechselnden Gästen - es scheint also bei entsprechender Zielgruppe durchaus beliebt zu sein, halt nur nicht mein Geschmack.

In Zeiten von Corona lohnt es sich umso mehr mal was extrem Leckeres und ein bisschen Exotisches zu essen. Wir lieben die japanischen Tapas und sind froh, dass wir das alles in gerade zur Zeit noch bekommen. Extrem pünktlich und genauso gut wie im Restaurant. Support your local Restaurant. Damit wir nach Corona wieder bei Euch auf der Straße sitzen können. Danke, dass Ihr weitermacht.

Super nettes freundlichen und zuvorkommendes Personal, wir wurden komplett über Speisen und deren Zubereitung aufgeklärt, auf Nachfrage veganer Optionen. Das Essen kam schnell, es war heiß und lecker. Vorteile: Freundlich, Lecker, Schnell

The most amazing sushi experience in Munich (or, probably, in all Europe) 🤤🥹👏

Leckeres Restaurant, sensationelles Essen in gediegener Atmosphäre. Mittagstisch ist zu empfehlen.

Ich war schon öfter im Sam und mag eigentlich das Konzept ganz gerne - die langen Tische, die Wände mit Zeitungen beklebt (hübsch). Aber leider ist das Essen nicht (mehr?) so das Wahre. Der Algensalat war süß, aber fad und die Rice Bowl zum Hauptgericht hatte leider wenig mit einer Bowl zu tun, geschweige denn einer japanischen. Im Grunde war es Reis mit Salat, etwas Edamame, Röstzwiebeln (?) und darauf im dichten Raster Majonaise?! Letztere findet sich auf einigen Gerichten, uff uff. War das schon immer so? Soll die Bowl so sein oder war das heute ein Ausrutscher? Ich weiß nicht. Ich bilde mir ein das Essen war Mal authentischer und liebevoller.. heute hat es mich eher an verdammt teuren Imbiss erinnert..

Wir hatten einen schönen Abend in nettem Ambiente. Das Essen war lecker. Die Cocktails ebenfalls.

Das Sushi war lecker aber wir hatten leider eine Kakerlake im Essen

Great service. Food was amazing. The online thing was the chair that was a bit unconfortable. But I would recommend it 10/10 again.

Love this place! Great service, atmosphere, and food! 🌟

Excelentes Sushi in einer urbanen, sehr gemütlichen Umgebung. Die Sushi-Platten sind absolut zu empfehlen! Kein Schickimicki-Laden! 😊 Love IT!

Das Ambiente ist wirklich nicht gut. Die Bestuhlung eine Katastrophe - sieht vielleicht hip aus, aber es sieht weder einladend/ansprechend aus noch ist es bequem. Der Service war in gut, das Essen durchschnittlich, aber teuer. Ich würde nicht wieder kommen.

Sehr leckeres Rahmen! Gyozo sind nicht so gut, aber ok

Sehr gutes Essen und netter Service. Das Essen kam zwar zu spät, dafür wurde sich aber aufrichtig entschuldigt und die Kosten für unsere Drinks übernommen.

Das Essen war ganz gut, die Preise sind zum Teil aber unverschämt teuer. Ramen mit ein bisschen Gemüse 16€, ein 0,3 Bier über 4€, eine Flasche stilles Wasser über 7€!! Sorry aber es gibt immer noch einen Unterschied zwischen höheren Preise für gute Zutaten und „schauen wir mal wie weit wir es mit ner guten Lage treiben können“

Speisen einwandfrei. Service freundlich. Ambiente in Ordnung!

Restaurant does appear too elegant but food and service are very good.

Toller Service!! Es wird auf jeden Wunsch eingegangen! Das Servicepersonal reagiert sofort auf Änderungswünsche und kann zu allen Gerichten Rückfragen sofort beantworten! Somit sind auch alle Allergiker und mit anderen Unverträglichkeiten beaufschlagte Gäste bestens aufgehoben!

Food is decent, service is lovely. Food was served quickly.
