What ariston77 doesn't like about Sam Mol Orinetal:

Utter chance visit due to the sea front steak house being fully booked. The food in this place is without doubt the FINEST Far Eastern cuisine I have EVER tasted! May not have been fast, maybe a refresh on the decor…none of which count a jot when taken in the context of the amazing flavours and great service.

The restaurant had mixed reviews with some customers expressing disappointment in the small portions, poor ambiance, and lack of cleanliness. Others praised the delicious food and attentive service, despite minor issues like flat drinks and limited menu choices. The buffet-style option was popular for those who enjoy smaller portions. Overall, the restaurant seemed to have potential but was not consistent in its quality and customer experience. For those looking for a friendly family-run buffet restaurant, it may be worth exploring other options.
