Mr. Sam Asian Bistro is all about a contemporary take on Japanese cuisine, with room for broader Asian influences. The menu features modern interpretations of sushi and noodle-based dishes, combined with other Asian-inspired bistro plates.

Around 2025, the restaurant was completely revamped and the concept was sharpened toward a more approachable evening restaurant with cocktails as a second pillar alongside the kitchen.<\/p>\n
