I have eaten at many hole-in-the-wall restaurants and have never been disappointed. Typically the employees are down home and pleasant. The price points are right and the food is tasty. But Sam Woo, they are feedling off the reputations of the many Sam Woo's and other hole-in-the-wall Chinese eateries scattered in the Chinatowns' of San Francisco, LA, NY, and elsewhere.... more

The absolute worse place to go to eat. Terrible service with even worse prices that are not justified. We went there with two other families and we all feel the same. Take your money somewhere else to be happy. I have only bad things to say about this place more

We, my family and I did visit the restaurant in the past years on several occasions and found the food as reasonable but very tasty. Yesterday after waiting for 45 Minutes I came to the conclusion that this would be my last time as we where very disappointed from the service, the quality of food as well as cleanliness. We... more

Any time you go to this place to buy the roasted Duck or BBQ Pork...to take-out. Watch out !!!...the food in the box before you pay.Because some CROOKS can cheat on you easily ! ( they are employees at the food station...always turn their back in front the customer when they server the orders...) We were the victims of these... more

I went to Sam Woo on 9/4/07 around 5PM. We had 2 orders of the "Triple barbecue with rice" dish for ~ $13 each. The duck was all dark meat. The BBQ pork was all dark meat and very dry. The only thing that saved the dish was the chicken. Watch out for the bits of bones in the meat,... more

I know Sam Woo had to close for a couple of months in 2006 due to failure of multiple health inspections. When they finally opened back up, seemed like the quality of service went down as well as the foods. Here is a list of foods that definitely still taste goods- Won Ton (the best in town), orange beef, fried... more

Being from Southern California, I'm familiar with the Sam Woo brand of restaurants. If you're looking for fine-dining with corresponding service, this isn't the place. The most you should expect is decent/good Chinese food. We ate twice at the Vegas Sam Woo. Both times we had the same waiter who provided the same service. He wasn't rude but very impatient.... more

If you're looking for Fortune Cookies, this is not the place! Fortune cookies aren't even CHINESE!!! They were invented by a Japanese American Man...well I digress. Food is great and cheap. Cheaper than anything found on the strip. If you want a break from all the slots and noise...Sam Woo will provide a good meal at a great price. more

Three of us dined at Sam Woo's on Saturday, November 12, 2005. The noise level is pretty bad and the overall atmosphere is one of chaos. The waiter was brusque and impatient while we were giving our order. I wondered if he actually understood what we requested and found out that he did not! We ordered a combo plate of... more
