The only Sambo's restaurant that was part of the original chain is in Santa Barbera. There are Sambo or similarly named restaurants elsewhere but apparently none of them were ever part of the chain (for example, Li'l Sambo's in Lincoln Beach, Oregon).
But if there's someone out there running an illicit Sambo's that would be cool.
My coolest memory of Sambo's (I think I've shared this before) was at the one in Newport Beach, Oregon. We were in there during a rainstorm and it was a decent one. But we were right on theedge of it. Big front wall of windows for the restaurant and halfway down the building it went from heavy rain to no rain at all in a very steady line.
The local Sambo's in our home town was turned into a Burgerville.
