rev:text	The theory is that a Big Mac should taste the same in any McDonalds. Well I can't say that is true but if you want to set your watch to the consistency of a restaurant - Sam Woo BBQ would be the one. I have been a customer of this place since I started dating my future wife back in 1990. At least three people in the restaurant and take out today have been here all that time. In 23 years not ONE dish's flavor has changed by even the slightest bit. From noodles to rice to half roasted duck to canned pop to watermelon in the summer and oranges all other times ... consistency rules! Over the years we have tried other Chinese restaurants similar to Sam Woo - they are either meh or if they are half decent, you go there one day and either the place is under new management or the doors are locked for not paying rent the past six months. The Five Star Caveat - I have been to far more expensive restaurants -- shark fin soup, fine linen, two sets of colored chopsticks. But for pure value, freshness, taste and consistency - nothing comes close to Sam Woo. And yes sometimes you do want something different and we do go elsewhere. But when you get the craving - and want those signature dishes you've had for over two decades - this is the place. Originally we always ate in, then had kids and shifted mostly to takeout - int he past few years as a family we have ate in again. The restaurant isn't big - but there are various table sizes - so never let the line up at 7-8pm fool you - party of 4 or less get the small tables - many are waiting for the larger tables. The tables have plastic table clothes for quick removal and for pop they bring a can and a glass which I prefer but they also bring tea. At the end of the meal you are treated with free orange or watermelon/cantaloupe slices depending on the season * The Regulars we recommend: #27 Hot and sour soup (spicy) "bowl" we haven't found any other version out there that tastes as nice as here. #145 Shredded chicken fried rice - though in the past few years we have shifted to just plain rice. A fav of mine - just the right amount of salt and it NEVER has that "fried rice" burnt flavor. #76 Beef w/Green Pepper and Black Bean Sauce #61 Steamed (ranch) chicken with Vegetables - typically with bok choy and comes with a lovely ginger/green onion in oil sauce #62 Deep Fried Chicken (though we tend to get the former) #113 Cantonese Style Fried Noodles. (Alternative #121 BBQ Fried Noodle for take out). #58 Deep fried squid with chili and spicy salt - my all time favorite - once I had this years ago I was hooked for life and anytime I see a "deep fried squid" in any Chinese restaurant I have to see if it compares to Sam Woo's -- none do. Without a doubt one of the best fried squid dishes I have ever tasted. Check out my tip on re-heating. For special occasions get #32 Sauteed Lobster with Ginger & Green Onion (seasonal price). They bring the lobster to show you then cook it up (~1.5LB) - they automatically chop it into smaller pieces and it tastes amazing. * The Meats Most places don't have this take out component ... on the restaurant menu: #3 Roasted Duck "half" though I see now a 3rd "regular" pricing. (I always ask for "the neck" .. one time they included the beak as a joke I guess - I laughed). #12 BBQ Pork (in the restaurant it comes with peanuts) - they chop it up into thin slices - normally we ask for no sauce (okay without it) #11 Roasted Pig (I tend to get "regular" v. lean) - comes with hoisin sauce (this is the pig that is hanging and they just shave off a couple of LBs for takeout) #14 BBQ Wings (couple of times) * Take out noodles & rice alternatives From 11-5pm they offer smaller noodle and rice combos - great for lunches. In the past couple of years we started buying these dishes due to the lower price and I we can get two different kinds of noodles. See my tip on noodle sizes. Regular noodles include: Singapore; spareribs (a new favorite) and a satay chicken (not in full menu?). * Wings anyone? Not sure when (see pictures) they offer wings various counts. Weird flavor choices but tried the Sam Woo; Satay and Sweet and Sour - I liked the Satay the least but all in all - great wings and flavor throughout. They include the tips too (not part of the count). Great value - and we were surprised. A dry/non-saucy wing. I am sure if Yelp was available in the 90s I would have had more than 100 check ins by now. Currently non-existent due to myself only recently starting the check in process - we'll get there eventually. Finally ... so it is 8pm on Christmas Eve and you were planning to eat at Red Lobster and they won't let you in because they want to close early for the staff - now what? Well you know 100% Sam Woo BBQ is open and ... away we go!!!!!! Regular since 1990.
