La Quinta – Check it out . . . if you love sushi, and it seems you either love it or you don’t, there’s no in between . . . but if you LOVE sushi, then have you eaten at Sam’s Sushi right here in La Quinta?
The owner is Sam Kwon, who came to the U.S. from Korea and was involved with restaurants before moving to California in 1999. He moved here to the desert in 2002 and has had his La Quinta restaurant open for four years now. Sam’s was expanded last year from a 35 seat sushi bar to a 92 seat restaurant. Obviously, Sam’s Sushi has been well received here on the east end of the valley.
Sam’s Sushi has a contemporary vibe with spacious high ceilings and soothing colors and woods. A wide variety of Nigiri sushi and sashimi is offered, along with a long list of specialty rolls – which includes baked lobster, a neighborhood favorite. Also offered are lunch and dinner specials.
It wouldn’t be sushi without sake to accompany it. Sam’s offers a variety of premium cold sakes and hot sake is also available. Popular Japanese beers are available as well.
Sam also owns Sam’s Korean BBQ & Teriyaki Grill, which is just around the corner in the same La Quinta complex. A third restaurant, also Sam’s Sushi, is located at The River in Rancho Mirage.
