Sam Woo Cerritos

Had lunch with my boyfriend and parents. It was on Saturday around 12:30pm. It was pretty crowded although we were happy to be seated quickly. Their food is always delicious. I did order some dim sum items which are my favorite. I love their Chinese Broccoli too. We tried a tofu hot pot which was very tasty. The staff was very busy. It took them a while at the end to get us some to go boxes. We asked 3 different staff for assistance. Totally understandable that they were slammed. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food. We had plenty of leftovers to feed us for 2 more days. Great experience overall. We will be back again.

The food was excellent and very delicious and that's the reason we go to Sam Woo but the service and attitude of the Host/Manager was very negative. Very cold and rude personality and made it a little uncomfortable to enjoy the main reason we were there for, which was to enjoy their delicious food. The Experience can be better if they have somebody that welcomes you with a smile and makes you feel like they really want you to be there to enjoy and that they're not there to take your money. The waiter was excellent, unfortunately the host even ruined the opportunity to enjoy the great service of the waiter. Thats all I have and hope that your experience is better than mine because their food is very delicious.

Roast duck was dense, gray-brown, crumbly, slightly dry, and has tasted closer to liver than meat. The entire duck was like this. It was either frozen or reheated multiple times. The other food was average Chinese dining. We ordered nine dishes, nothing really notable. Place is slightly cleaner than a high school cafeteria. Staff was largely uninterested but had enough manners.

The roast duck was fantastic, and I really enjoyed the stir-fried green beans. Portions were generous too. The roasted pork, though, had way too much meat and the pieces were too big, which wasn’t very appetizing. The wonton soup was also too salty and lacked depth. I’d definitely come back for the roast duck and green beans!

It's nice and cozy the food is healthy the tea is good we like it plain on going back soon.
