| - We ventured into Sam Woo, lured in by the sight of luscious Hong Kong style bbq meats hanging near the window, and the plethora of Asian families eating here on a weekend for dinner. We walked in, and immediately saw the "Cash Only" sign. Luckily, we had enough cash to cover our charges for 4 people. Once seated, we placed our orders, and were struck by how expensive everything was, especially for an establishment that is cash only. The meal itself, was adequate. We ordered a 3 bbq meat combo (Approx. $14) and I was expecting to see 3 dishes filled with 3 separate meats. But, instead we were served a small plate with thinly sliced, smallish pieces of meat. We also had wintermelon soup, which hit the spot to warm us up on that chilly night. We shared some snow pea tips and braised tofu as well, which were OK.
At the end of the meal we received our check, and did a double take when we saw that they added in tip automatically for our party of 4. While we were somewhat annoyed that they had already added tip for a party that I wouldn't consider large, we were also amused that their additional tip was only 10%. I guess they don't think much of their own service if they only give out 10% to the automatic tips!
