" I seldom write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience at Sam Woo. While the food has great potential with its traditional offerings, my last visit wasn't the best. The BBQ duck was tasty, but the service left much to be desired, with a long wait for our drinks. Nevertheless, I love this place for the nostalgia and authentic flavors. I think it's still worth another try given the generally positive experience throughout the years! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family loves Sam Woo! We've been coming here for ages. The BBQ pork and duck never disappoint, but I'd love if they could do something about the seating arrangement as it gets cramped. Fast service but could be faster. Ultimately, the quality of food is what makes us return again and again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sam Woo is a cute little spot that encapsulates the charm of an authentic Chinese BBQ! I had their fried rice, which was delightful, although the soy sauce chicken could use a little more flavor. Prices are reasonable, and I appreciate their quick service! " (*Curated Review*)

" For a no-frills dining experience, you can't beat Sam Woo Barbeque. The food tastes as if it's been brought straight from the streets of Hong Kong. Don't let the cash-only policy deter you; the bang for your buck is incredible especially during their lunch specials. I did have an instance of less than stellar service once, but the food more than makes up for it. Come hungry! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for fantastic Chinese BBQ, this is it! I enjoyed the soy sauce chicken with rice, and it was tender and juicy. The prices are hard to beat, but I did experience a delay in service. Even so, I will return for the amazing flavors and generous portions. " (*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*)
