" Sam Woo is like stepping back in time! The food is consistently delicious and true to its roots. I can't resist their duck rice and the fried rice is always flavorful. The staff might not have the best English, but if you're patient, you'll be rewarded with great food at a great price. It's the kind of place that feels like home to me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sam Woo Barbeque has been a staple for my family for years. The authentic Cantonese flavors remind me of my childhood visits to Hong Kong. The roast duck and BBQ pork are excellent, though sometimes the portions vary. The prices are reasonable, especially for the lunch specials. A must-visit if you're craving genuine Chinese BBQ! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although Sam Woo is well-known for its authentic Chinese BBQ, I found my last experience not as great. The roast duck skin could have been crispier, and the service was slow, which took away from the experience. Nonetheless, I'd still recommend the BBQ pork; it’s often a hit! I hope they can improve on service during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Probably one of the best spots for BBQ. The flavors scream authenticity, and it’s definitely worth the hype. The soy sauce chicken was epic! If you're not in a rush, this is a lovely place to enjoy a casual meal, as the service slows down amid the crowd. Overall, I'd highly recommend this restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Certainly a nostalgic visit to Sam Woo! The taste of their congee and duck rice warmed my heart, bringing back childhood memories. I will say the service can be a little abrupt, as there were busy times, but the food's token of flavor at an affordable price makes it worthwhile. It's not fine dining, but it's comfort food at its best! " (*Curated Review*)

" The roast duck I had at Sam Woo tonight was divine! It melted in my mouth, and the portions were so ample that I was stuffed by the end. The place has an authentic feel to it, and I enjoyed the hustle and bustle. Service varied, as sometimes it took longer to get attention, but once seated, I was quite happy with the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Sam Woo with family, and it was a wonderful experience. The BBQ items were fantastic, and everyone was impressed with how flavorful the dishes were. The service was delightful, however, we had to wait a bit longer than usual since it was busy. When it comes to authentic Cantonese BBQ, I definitely recommend Sam Woo! " (*Curated Review*)
