Sam Woo BBQ

My favorite Sam woo for wonton noodle!!!each Sam woo is different.. came here for the first time for their breakfast special. I love my Cantonese special with seafood porridge then came with the appetizer.. just the right amount and with a cup of Hong Kong milk tea. Good until 1:30 pm . Food is so expensive now so this is a good choice. My wife took the western special.. chicken steak with black sauce is good as well..

What happened between the pandemic, and when they finally re-opened the dining-in area? Last time I was here, and got the 雙拼盤 with the 燒肉 & 燒鴨. The 燒鴨 was OK, but what was up with the unevenly cut 燒肉? Chop it uniformly! Either big enough for you to enjoy that giant slab of pork belly, or thin enough for me to enjoy the crispiness of that skin! But no, the pieces were all diagonal, and all over the place, AND some of the skin on it wasn't all that crispy. 燒臘 is what you guys are supposed to specialize in! Aside from that, just make sure you're not going there around 5pm, and sitting by the window, when their suppliers are dropping in a delivery straight from the street, with the product hanging from the car, and the guy having trouble trying to put the hook on the item to bring it in.

As a Hong Konger, the Chu Su 叉燒and the BbQ 燒肉here is terrible. Too dry and taste not right. You can see the meet is way too thinly cut and very dry inside. The 魚肚羹 is also wrongly made. The served with crab meet but we want it with corn soap. Anyway, it is tasteless like water. Don’t order it here. Overall it is disappointing and no wonder the dine in here is not full.

This place is CLEAN. Servers are very attentive. I've never thought chinese food could be very expensive. I ordered 2 delicacy bbq pork with pork belly and it is $20 for a small plate. The chow mein noodles are ok but on the salty side. I remember when on a tight budget that Sam Woo used to be my go to place but not anymore. There are no cheap budget chinese place anymore here due to inflation. when we let our evil governor and government dictate, this happen and it will still get worse.

as a Chinese over sea student, this is one of the best in town.
