I don't think I have ever seen such a hype of Thai food before in Hong Kong before Samsen! I noticed an incredible onslaught of pictures of the wagyu beef boat noodles on Instagram and knew I had to go try it out. It has been open for a few months now but the lines are still as long as ever! Samsen is opened by former Chachawan Chef Adam Cliff and aims to serve casual Thai street food favorites such as boat noodles and pad see ew. The restaurant is tiny and has a cute and hip decor. The wait time is always more than an hour even on weekdays so I would recommend getting a drink at Stone Nullah Tavern next door after you put your name down.
Pad See Ew YUM! I loveeee pad see ew and this was some of the best I've had! The noodles were sooo fat and chewy and the flavors were spot on. Must order! |
Overall the food at Samsen packed a serious flavor punch but I don't think I would be willing to wait for over an hour frequently to eat here. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes though.
