SLIDESHOW & VIDEO: Samba Thanks Loyal Customers With Luau

Joseph Zhang, the owner of Samba Steak & Sushi House, thanked his loyal customers with a luau Monday night, at his newly-renovated second restaurant in Framingham - Samba West.

For the fifth year, customers were invited to the invitation-only event, and encouraged to dress in a festive theme while enjoying free appetizers, sushi and pastries.

For the second year in a row, attendees also were asked to make a donation, as part of a fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

The event showcased the renovated Samba West.

The U2 cover band The Joshua Tree performed. Editor’s Note: A short video clip of The Joshua Tree is attached to this report.

Samba West recently started offering live musical acts for customers.
