" Came here during a busy lunch and was pleasantly surprised with how fast we got our orders. Though there was a wait, it was worth it as the food was incredible. I got the special fried rice and the flavor was on point. A cozy place, it felt really authentic. I think this will be my regular stop for Chinese BBQ! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was not impressed with my meal here. The fried rice was a bit bland, and the sweet and sour chicken was heavily breaded and just not great. I understand this place has a reputation, but I didn’t find the food memorable. It was busy, sure, and the servers were nice, but I wouldn’t say I'm enthusiastic about coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been coming to Sam Woo for years, and it never disappoints. The food is perfect every time! We always get the BBQ combination; their roast duck and some mixed vegetables. They also have some amazing wontons! It's great to see a family-run spot thriving in the valley. A definite must-visit for others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time we come to Sam Woo, the food tastes like home to me. The flavor profiles are always authentic and spot on! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is busy yet welcoming. I can never resist getting the roast duck and fried rice! Portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable for quality food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Living in the valley, I’ve been to my fair share of Chinese restaurants, but Sam Woo hits differently. The flavors remind me of meals I had during my time in China. The BBQ pork is a hit! Service was friendly and accommodating, though there were a few hiccups with our order, it overall didn’t detract from our experience. Will return to try more dishes for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here can’t be beaten. It takes me back to my childhood in China. The roast duck is crispy and full of flavor. The portions are huge for a decent price, perfect for families. The only critique I have is the service can be a little slower when it gets super busy. Nevertheless, I would not hesitate to recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has had authentic Chinese barbecue in various parts of Asia, I was pleasantly surprised by Sam Woo Village BBQ. The barbecue pork was flavorful, and the wonton noodle soup was rich and comforting. The dishes came out quickly and hot, which I appreciated. It was busy, but the staff handled the rush well. I will definitely return to explore more of their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)
