" I had a fantastic experience at Sam Woo! The food was bursting with flavors. Their beef chow fun was exceptionally good, and the servings were huge! The only downside was that the decor could use some refreshing. Nevertheless, I can look past it since the food is truly what matters. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week I came to Sam Woo to celebrate a friend's birthday. Although the food was good, I felt the service could have been friendlier given the occasion. The hot and sour soup was my favorite, while the chicken was good but not remarkable. Overall, good food but I might look for somewhere with a bit more atmosphere next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Sam Woo has become a staple in my family's dining choices! The duck is phenomenal and the portion sizes are generous, truly allowing you to indulge. My only complaint is that the decor feels quite outdated and could do with some sprucing up. Still, we keep coming back because the food is just that good! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Sam Woo! The food is always tasty and so satisfying. Their seafood specialties are particularly impressive, especially the crispy calamari. Although the service could use some softening, I’ve been coming here for years and they always remember my favorite dishes. A great place to catch up with family over some shared plates. I'll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have loved Sam Woo since childhood! The comfort of their dishes always takes me back. A favorite is the assorted hot pot, which is always fresh and full of flavor! It's got that homey feeling, and while the wait can be a bit long on busy nights, the food is worth it to me. Already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at Sam Woo last weekend. While the food was decent, it didn't live up to the hype I've heard. The sweet and sour chicken was just average, and the service was definitely lacking. On the bright side, the prices are fair and the portions were generous. I might give them another chance, but I expected more from what I've heard. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much buzz about Sam Woo, I decided to check it out. The food was certainly satisfying, especially their fried rice, but I didn't find it to be particularly special. Service was a bit curt, and the atmosphere felt a bit lacking. Still, a solid place for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)
