Fast, Greasy and tasty!

by Rathy83

Sam Woo is a nice restaurant that caters to an Asian crowd.

The waitstaff is not trained to give the all American Customer Service. You kind of have to be demanding when you want a refill on water or drinks. Don't worry, you won't offend the waitstaff, just don't expect them to notice that you need a refill.

They focus on getting you food, hot and flavorful.

They have a bbq, this is not the type of BBQ like Lucilles, this is Asian style market BBQ, you can get your duck, your pig, and you can get it chopped up right before you. It's popular because this is the way asians like it. Fast, quick, large enough portions to share with the family. It's also cheap.

• Pros: fast food, lots of flavor, large menu (variety), duck
• Cons: no one really speaks english (fluently)

Scary BBQ-Heads in the window

by scottdavislasvegas

I live in the Chinatown neighborhood and Sam Woo has been a stand out establishment with several Zagat awards and other raves so I had to give it a try.

a small diner in chinatown-a few boothes-small & crowded-kinda dirty-tea kettle was rusty & stained

from the person that seated me, to the busboy, to the waiter, to the cashier-nobody spoke any english-i ordered #13 & food came instantly-had to find cashier to get check to pay & leave

no attentive or friendly at all-seemed a little challenged if you know what i mean!!

worse service than a buffett

this place has a wall full of zagat & best of... awards?? how??

well i think i got what i ordered the menu said #13 bbq pork spare ribs

i got them intantly-before my drink!!

they were chopped int bits with lots of bone & grissle clearly visible

it was hard & bony -no bbq flavor-very greasy & salty

my jaw started hurting from having to chew so much after just a few pieces-i had to get the last piece out of my mouth fast!!

i have had 10x better ribs off the worst buffet

truly disappointing!! i noticed a lot of people were getting soup & noodles??! not your typical bbq i'd say

what is a chinese dessert?? anybody.

from the strange things hanging in the window to the terrible food & service. don't waste your time & money.

$10 buffet anywhere is better

• Pros: Service was fast so I gotta outta there quick
• Cons: whole animals in the window, gristly meat,rusty tea kettle,n

worst place to go

by cowboysamo

for those of you who want "bad" service and poor value, this is the place to go. I have never seen worse service from a restaurant in my life. And I have been to a few.

There was not one staff member that had a smile. We were greeted by a pathetically motivated lady. Then to be ignored by the waiters.

I "DO NOT" recommend anyone to this place.

Take your money somewhere else where you will be much much happier.

• Pros: none
• Cons: everything was bad, do not go to this place
