Sam’s

This place gets the cops. Probably from the the police head quarters a few blocks away. It’s a small low cost deli with some Chinese food too. Strait up eggs rolls bagels etc. and at down town prices… Again, the cops eat here.

This is a very nice spot! I comes here atleast 3 or 4 times a week for lunch! Their rice dishes is one of my fav. Their cold cuts are good. If you want the steam rices~make sure to order earlier~it goes by quick.

Small deli with some Asian food as well. It’s a sometimes stop for me in the mornings when work takes me downtown. The place itself has been cleaned up quite a bit in the last few years. I used to go here back a few years ago and it wasn’t a nice spot at all.
It’s a place where you can get an egg sandwich and a coffee for less than $ 5. In that regard it is quite adequate. It’s not a place that is going to «wow» you, but you will get a decent meal on the cheap.
They have a few tables, as well as a television, so you can zone out while having breakfast. It is really clean looking these days, which is nice. Not much else to say.

Spot on chinese rice dish. I was walking past and saw that they had leaf wrapped rice so I popped on in. It takes 15 mins because they are made to order — so either call in early or just sit there and wait.
I ordered the Salted fish & Minced Pork w. rice. The meat was seasoned extremely well. It was a perfect mixture of meat to rice. The «ho yip» leaf was a nice touch on flavoring the rice. My grandma loved the salted fish and ask if I can get it for her next time.
What sucks is that they failed to tell the public that they don’t serve this on Sundays or Saturday after 2pm. Twice I was turned down, but it was really darn good that I’m going to get it again.
I haven’t tried anything else, but there’s also american sandwiches and etc too.

This is my permanent and favorite go to spot for breakfast. They have some really good and decently priced breakfast platters that are filling and satisfying. The boss lady makes some pretty good drinks like milk tea, lemon iced tea and coffee.

Awesome breakfast spot. Usually packed with people with funny stories. The food is good and fairly priced.

$ 4.75 Corned Beef Sandwich
ehhh it was kinda of dry. regular sandwich deli for a quick bite. Will be back to try out other sandwiches.

Pretty sweet place. I found nothing weird about the way the tables are lol. Hearty servings, to the point, and good for those big court dudes I always see around my ‘hood.
The people here are nice xD comfortable. It’s a place that can really grow on you. I had their corned beef with wasabe mayo. Well I didn’t taste the kick of the wasabe, it was really light so I would assume it is as healthy as possible. I enjoyed my lunch thank you. Solid place to eat at indeed.

The food is pretty good, and this is one of the only American deli’s in chinatown

Cash only!
Had lunch with half the NYPD at Sam’s. Didn’t feel like waiting in line at the Civic Deli and one of the courthouse security guards sent me over here. There are fewer options, but it’s cheaper and more relaxed. My iced coffee was decent and sandwich (ham, cheese, avocado, surprisingly spicy chipotle sauce) exceeded my admittedly low expectations. I noticed that they appear to have some ridiculous breakfast specials that I’m sure I’ll be trying soon.

Very solid breakfast/​lunch option in Chinatown area. Brisket, corned beef and pastrami are solid options.

This is a great, clean american deli in chinatown and is perfectly located right by the court houses. This is the place to go when you do not want to eat chinese food but there is nothing close by but chinatown. Try the philly cheesesteak with wasabi mayo. Pastrami over rice, or any of the sandwich combinations. Good pricing and good quality.

Food isn’t bad, such as the brisket and corned beef with rice.
But its somewhat dirty in here, so you might not feel too comfortable.
Very limited selection altogether. I certainly agree with the previous reviewer.

Subpar deli with a limited selection and a strangely large seating area to deli counter ratio; it’s set up more like a pizza place than your usual deli.
