Sam Woo Seafood & BBQ

We like a lot eating out. Last night we went to this delicious place which friends recommended to us. We spent a lovely experience there with great food and a well-trained crew and a professional chef. We put this restaurant in our phone list and we will certainly come back very soon. We highly recommend.

I stop here all the time for takeout, but I especially enjoy dinner. My favorite is the fish and eggplant hot pot.

Cantonese restaurant. Live seafood. Dim sum. This place is newer, cleaner, bigger than most. The price and portion is what would be expected. The quality of the food during was just OK. Parking is the other downside.

Nice very large restaurant serving Cantonese style food. The service was excellent and food was very good. Although we had to wait and they said 20 minutes, they actually took us in 10 which was great. There are quite a few people so don't be in a hurry when coming here. If you are in a rush, they have a take out side that serves your basic Chinese food at a less expensive price. Quality is just as good, $6.95 for two sides which is not bad a much better than some places. You can even order a whole duck or slab of Chasu (BBQ porch meat)! Great for small events at home.

Each Sam Woo location is quite different from one another. This location is a bit fancier than most in terms of atmosphere and some dishes. Still a good choice for some authentic food and reasonable prices.

The Sam Wood BBQ carry out was good, but nothing special. I used to LOVE this place, but now their char siu, roasted pig and Soya chicken was only as expected. It didn't stand out. I think there are many newer and better restaurants with new flavors and offerings, this old school place is standing still, thus falling behind. I'm sure my parents will still like this kind of food.

Got food from the take-out section. Nice stop for a quick, no-frills lunch at a reasonable price. Mapo tofu missing the ma and the la, but could be worse. Fried rice pretty good, especially if you grab a couple chili oil cups.

The food was okay with lunch special price. But they really need to improve their service. The server totally ignored us once the food delivered on the table. After we done our main courses, I asked server for an additional dessert. He was so mad, he even tell me, " can you see I am busy right now?"It's very disappointing their services went down. We have been to this restaurant for the past 16+years. Lately, I always feel the services not very nice.

One of my favorite places, Love their barbecue pork and black bean sauce chow fun.

Personally I love the BBQ express side more than the seafood restaurant. You really can't go wrong with anything you order. My personal favorite which doesn't have a picture here is their beef brisket wonton noodle soup!

Good dim sum. Can't go wrong with coming here during lunch. The lines aren't bad. Food is good. There's a good selection. Didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out. You need to order from the menu. I don't think there's a cart that rolls around, that's a bit unfortunate. Service was good, everyone was friendly. Would recommend.

Decent Chinese food. Service is efficient. The place is always full whenever I was there, but things move fast without being rushed. The restaurant has 3 different areas from fast food to cheap eats and a bit above average. However my favorite has been their noodle soup which is offered in the middle room.

Ok food. Service could be better. the short waiter was extremely rude and mean towards my family today. We started off to order the pork dumplings and was told to wait 30 minutes because the seafood side wasn't open yet. However we noticed the table next to ours had the pork dumplings served by another waitress. Then they made us the wrong type of chow fun. We ordered dry chow fun, it came out with the gravy style. The chicken was cold and had no taste to it. Boba milk was the only thing that was good here. Too bad because their la restaurants are way better than this one in OC.

This is a neighborhood gem, very popular and with good reason. I found the food to be fresh, well-prepared, nicely presented, and with generous portion sizes. Our servers were unobtrusive. They came to our table at just the right times during the meal. There are interesting daily specials featuring seafood of all kinds. Dim sum is also on the menu. You'll see big Asian families enjoying their meal here, business people, couples, people of all ages and all walks of life! The food, clean pleasant surroundings and convenient parking brings them back.

We had lunch on the sea food side, there are 2 restaurants, one is for bbq and one is for seafood, both served dim sum...I was craving fried rice - there was a long wait in seafood side. The food was pretty good.
