Sometimes Fast Food Can Be Healthy and Tasty ! - Samurai Sams - Lodi, NJ !!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Bergen County, NJ - RE/MAX Real Estate Limited

Well I think many of us agree that we are working harder and harder, more hours, and have less spare time !

With that in mind, it is often necessary for me and many other Realtors to 'grab and go' some form of Fast Food for lunch !

Samurai Sams

 

The problem then arises that many of the traditional fast food joints dont have anything terribly appetizing in the 'healthy' section of the menu ! (if they have a healthy section at all !)

 

Enter Samurai Sams Teriyaki Grill !!!

 

We have a new Samurai Sams in Lodi NJ, and the place is FABULOUS !

 

 

 

Their chicken comes in FRESH every day, and they hand cut it, and add Samurai Sam's famous marinade. Only after the marinade has infused perfectly is it taken out and grilled to perfection !

Their vegetables are always FRESH and not frozen, including zucchini, peppers, carrots, snow peas, broccoli and cabbage - all washed and cut into bite size pieces ready to be 'steamed' in their woks to order !

Finally they always have two large rice steamers filled and ready for your choice of brown or white rice.

All of these ingredients come together for a deeeelicious Chicken Teriyaki Bowl !

 

As you can see, this was my choice for lunch today !!!

And as I mentioned up top, steamed veggies, steamed brown rice, marinaded chicken, and a zesty teriyaki sauce makes the Samurai Sams Chicken teriyaki bowl one of the tastiest, yet 'healthiest' items you can grab on the run !!!

Owner Warren Johnson (center) runs the restaurant with great emphasis on smiley customer service - so from the food to the overall experience, Samurai Sams is a great midday place to stop !

 

And they deliver and Cater too !!!!



If you are around the Lodi, NJ area, stop by Samurai Sams and say Hi to Warren, and enjoy their terrific healthy lunch options !

That looks very good and healthy, too... I love Japanese food.  Also, Chinese and almost anything Asian.

Hard to believe this is fast food.  Definitely looks like a great place to grab a quick bite.  Much better than standard fare.

Those "kinds" of restaurants are popping up here, too!  Delicious, "healthy" choices but quick and fast.  Wonder why restaurants didn't think of this earlier???

Sheldon:  YUM!  I've had a rough patch of digestive issues recently and have been scouting out healthier alternatives to fatty foods when I'm on the run.  I'll have to find something similar here.

Any type of Asian cuisine is good with me. If it's fast, then that's alright too, I just can't get enough of the stuff.
