Been to SAMA at Gough St many many times. One of the reasons is the close proximity to work, primarily of course, is the food.They offer a selection of hokkaido style soup curry with a good mix of toppings plus a standard set of vegetable. The highlight is one gets to choose the level of spiciness for the curry, ranging from 1 to 30. Personally, i like to ENJOY a meal so i tend to choose a milder taste. For those whom think they cannot handle the spiciness, stick to a number below 5. As the staf

Customers can choose to have rice, ramen or udon to go with the curry (rice is standard, the noodles at an extra cost). Topping-wise, my personal favourite is the patty. Pan fried, not over-cooked and generally taste good (it's a patty, not an A-grade steak what else can one ask for). Pork is not recommended, the cut they use has way too much fat attached. Chicken and seafood are decent choices as well.
SAMA is one of my favourite lunch places. I take friends there, challenge them to eat level 30, no one has fell for it so far...
It is not situated at an eye catching spot, accommodates around 20 people. It is typicallly full during lunch hours, go early to avoid the wait.
