Been here a few times before but will base my review on my most recent visit.
Had to pick up my parents on a Wednesday night from the airport and of course they were hungry! Sooo we ended up at Sam Woo at 9pm. Surprisingly they closed at 12:30 so it was nice not feeling the pressure to eat fast! It wasn't busy considering what time it was so we got seated right away. My parents come here often enough that a few employees know them so we were greeted kindly by someone that recognized them
They were very pleasant and reassured us not to rush since they close late anyway! We ordered 5 dishes (see pics). Everything came out at a reasonable time, it was hot, made fresh and delicious! They came back a couple times to see if everything was ok and even made small talk which was kinda nice.
We decided to order noodles (Cantonese chow mein) to-go. And without even asking they packed the sauce and noodle separately to avoid sogginess! Most restaurants I've been to would just put it together.
By the end, they served us warm sweet tofu for dessert 'on the house'. But let's be honest...they were probably just trying to get rid of it cuz it probably won't be good for the next day but hey! It was good and free!
