This restaurant is right in the heart of the city so lunchtimes are full of office workers. Evenings are best, food good.

Very noisy, very fast, but very good. Quick service, food always reliably the same and very tasty. They churn 'em thru but it's very popular.

Full of public servants talking shop and property prices. If Sammy's was in Sydney or Melbourne, no one would take notice.

If you're in Civic and looking for somewhere that's reliable and not too expensive, Sammy's is a safe choice. Apparently it's a Canberra institution, and while I wouldn't rave about it, if you're looking for Asian food it's a nice venue where you can get good food at a reasonable price.

Whilst Sammy's isn't the white linen table cloth style of restaurant, it has a certain panache, and is far from run of the mill in the selection of dishes it offers. A... More

Sammy's food is always good value, easy to share and tasty. It can get very busy so would definitly recommend bookings, especially for groups above 3 people.
