What People Are Saying About Sam Woo Chinese Restaurant

The Scene
Walk by and you'll see roast ducks and pigs hanging in the window. Despite the uninspired interior, Sam Woo's draws crowds with good value, big servings and succulent Chinese-style barbecue.
The Food
Solid Cantonese cuisine is the backbone of Sam Woo BBQ, which has perhaps a dozen branches in greater Los Angeles. For its price, you can't beat the succulent duck, scented with star anise, but the roasted pork is even better. Seafood is excellent, especially the live fish, huge crabs and delectable baby lobsters swimming in tanks along the wall. For a hangover, nothing beats the congee, a thick rice soup with any number of additions like pork, duck or preserved egg.

I usually end up with roast duck or char siu wonton noodle soup or chow fun. There is a take out counter where you can buy the roast meats. Parking can be frantically hard to find on the weekends as are most places in the area. Be prepared with that in mind. Good food and cheap.

This is nothing really special. The food is okay..the service is below that. If you are looking for good tasting chinese food then this is not the place. Especially for the price, there are other places to go. Unless you really want a family style eating that will not break your wallet.

All I can say is this place is just a WONDERFUL place to have dim sum, if you are not wanting to venture to China Town, in L.A. The dim sum is delish, and comes out plenty, you never have to worry about flagging a cart runner down. I never had a bad meal of Dim Sum here. I never had their dinners, but I do know their dim sum! LOL
