A good place for Cantonese food and yellow chicken. I like the take out options! Get the tomato and beef it tastes like ketchup and beef.
You know this place is good when the service is slow and the table cloth is disposable and plastic.
The meal for 4 can feed an army.

Sam Woo has been around for as long as I could remember.
I used to get takeout from them 20+ years ago for those big Chinese family gatherings.
These days, I usually go there for lunch with my mom, who almost only eat Cantonese food. The food at Sam Woo is authentic Cantonese, very consistent, very yummy, and reasonably priced.
The staffs are also friendly and have all have this “traditional waiter look”, all dressed in black and white.
I enjoy every visit to Sam Woo and hope they will continue to stay in business in the years to come. I can tell they have a lot of frequent customers, whom they know personally.
I’d recommend this place.
We especially love their pan-fried vermicelli 😀

This is one of my favorite HK-style restaurants.
Service is good, like the old traditional HK way.
They have a big menu, the food is very good and authentic!

You can get authentic Cantonese food, also expect the 'authentic' level of service quality - not me being stereotyping but HK diners service style is known as being 'direct'.
Wasn't quite a pleasant experience but their BBQ pork was really good. Only in the end they refused to offer an extra chili oil sauce while paying for the bill.
Homey ambiance. You could see many families coming here so that speaks to the food. Just don't hold high expectation for their service and you'd probably enjoy much more.

A delicious dinner at Sam Woo. It's my first time visited this restaurant, they look like BBQ special place, their dishes surprised me! Very high standard n fresh ingredients. Especially the garoupa fish fry with assorted mushrooms, excellent! The fish fillets r good quality n fresh. The roasted penguin were so juicy n tasty, must order in advance. Service is excellent. My friend ordered the special dishes in advance, not the set menu. I saw many tables ordered steamed fish, I believe their fish are the top choice. Must order!
Excellent service - attentive, kind and helpful.
Delicious authentic food - their BBQ items are tasty. We ordered the fried pork loin with spicy garlic, yeung chow fried rice, crunchy sweet & sour pork, fish fillet with sweet corn, young snow pea leaf with garlic. The whole meal was cooked very well. They do a great job. Wasn’t able to take photos of the other food items, we ate them too quickly.
Vibe - simple but we felt very welcome and the wait staff were accommodating. They didn’t rush us when we had finished. It seems like the customers are regular old timers, people knew each other.
Highly recommend.

Classic chinese restaurant franchise located in many North American cities. Good food and good portion sizes at affordable prices. My only request is that they renovate the restaurant to be a little more modern. They are usually busy, but you can get a table without reservations. I will return.
Neighbourhood staple known for their excellent Chinese BBQ, but don’t sleep on their other menu items either! Through the many years my family has been coming here, their food has been consistently tasty, service friendly and prices affordable. A must-go whenever we’re in the area.
