Sam Wo Restaurant, San Francisco

It s too bad they closed. Hopefully you ll reopen soon. I ve always enjoyed every meal I ve had here. I do remember Edsel I was here when he was. I ve been coming here off and on for a better part of 20 to 25 years. Reopen soonn you have my support.

Holly Cow! I used to take the trolly car there for $40 cents and have a plate of food for less than $3. I went there, maybe twice while in college at S.F.S.U. in the mid-seventies. I never knew it was famous at the time. 106 years! Yikes. What a shame. Blame communist S.F. and it s central planners. I m not surprised, just saddened.

Best and hottest Chinese Food I have ever had. I visit every year, for the past 22. They will cook to order just about any thing.

Conan O'Brien hasn't said enough! I often jet over room DC for their great noodles. Best to you Mr. and Ms. Wo!

Sam Wo is a must see on any trip to The City. Dirt cheap, delicious, hearty portions are just a few of the reasons to visit. Sam Wo was also a favorite of poets Allen Ginsberg and Michael McClure.

Sam Wo's is for me a favorite place for a few very special dishes The must for me is an order of the Roast Pork Rice Noodle Rolls with Asian hot mustard . What makes this different is that you need to walk through the Kitchen so that you can climb the stairs to the upper floor dinning areas. Things I stay away from are the Chicken. But for the soups , noodle roll and a few interesting dishes its a great experience. Just go in with the understanding that this is not going to be like any dinning experience you might be used to in the US . Its more like eating in the crowded upstairs hallway of a small crowded apartment.

i thought i was on fear factor. couldn't decide whether the place, the help or the food was worse. prices are cheap and should be.

family members went there 35 years ago and the food, service and decor is still the same. Its GREAT. The wait staff is very friendly, funny and the first to suggest whats good. I love it and we go there at least twice a month when we come into the city. I recommend it highly.
