The sour and Spicy shredded potato was just so-so. The flavor was plain. I would not recommend it. The Chicken intestines and hunan stir fried pork are really spicy. They are good along with white rice. BUT they are BOTH SALTY. Really salty. You have to drink lots of water. Many people have recommended this Chinese restaurant and they think this is the best Chinese restaurant in San Diego. If so, I would say maybe Chinese restaurants here are less competitive than I expected. Or maybe three dishes is a small sample size. We need to try more dishes to have a fair review

I had 4 dishes all very salty. I’ll not plan to come back again ever. Only shrimp fry rice that we can eat not too much salty.

Just wow experience! I try to locate the authentic chinese halal places across the US and this was a hit. The location sign is dimly lit and hard to find but once you enter the restaurant they welcome you with a smile. Great Hospitality, helped me out with menu options. Here is the item specific feedback Pan Fried Dumplings were great. Goes well with the soy sauce Triple fried curry rice - More on the spicy side and I really liked it Jalapeno Sliced Chicken - The sauces in this was amazing. Highly recommended Noodle Soup - First time trying noodle soup and the broth was awesome Garlic Chicken with Jalapenos - Fried variation of the sliced chicken. Again Awesome. The sauce is spicy and tangy

Found this gem when I was trying to find halal spots in SD. The food was so gooood! Like besides being halal, this was one of the best Chinese spots I've tried. I'll definitely be going again. Also prices were great for the portions.

Super fresh, great dumplings with traditional fillings. The staff really loves what they do. The pork and shrimp Xiao loong bao has big chunks of fresh shrimp. The chicken and mushroom bao were plump and juicy. The boiled pork and garlic chive dumplings had lovely chewy skins and lots of juicy meat and plenty of garlic chives in them. They served them to us fresh from the pot. So very good. There is red chili oil, black vinegar, and soy sauce available. We were lucky enough to get to see the staff at their lunch, too.

Hell yeah Having a bad day? Coming here So good So chill Eat here, then do your groceries Get a box of 9 egg n chives Then order more, go home and freeze egg n chives Pig ears are rather tasty as well

This is a no fuss, no influencer gimmicks, just good food type of Chinese restaurant. I mean really good food. I used to live in the Clairemont area 5 years ago and would eat here frequently, but I moved away and had it again this weekend. And let me tell you--I ate the best duck wonton soup ever. It was everything I remembered Sam Woo to be. Too many restaurants have fallen to changing their menu and interior decoration to follow trends and losing out on good flavors. I'll go to Sam Woo for life if they don't change a thing!!

I ordered delivery from Hungry Panda, and this is my first time to try this restaurant out. It was beyond my expectations. The roasted duck is so delicious and flavorful!! Highly recommend this dish. I also loved a daikon beef tendon dish it was super larger portion, with a reasonable price. The fried rice is very large optioned and yummy too, I loved the sweet sausage inside. The red bean & mung bean drink is tasty as well.

Ordered a few mochi. They are okay not great the fillings are too little. The concept of this place is confusing: It sells desserts, drinks and also savory old dishes. probably better focus on making one type of food great rather than making and selling all types of food.

Terrific durian roll!!

We went there today to get Whole Roasted Duck. We had them chop up and box. When we got home, open the box, almost half of the duck were missing. What in the box was not the “whole” duck! Where’re the rest of it?!? We can only assume, while we distracted, they chopped and boxed up in the back, their people didnt put all our duck meat in the box. For over $35+tax and tip, this place Really suck! We got ripped off in the end….

Meats are cold As a Asian tasted really Cantonese cuisine, Roasted duck is ok, roasted belly is bad.

Stopped in for a bite to eat on the way home from San Diego Airport- after dropping off the family I needed some comfort food that wouldn’t be totally unhealthy. What a great find! This is really authentic Chinese food and I was so pleased with the quality and layered flavors. The service was outstanding. The lunchtime diners were also friendly. My server was great and giving me suggestions because this isn’t American-Chinese fare, so no sweet & sour pork combos. Don’t let that stop you because the place packs a tasty punch! I had some of the best sautéed cabbage ever and I am of heritages that have an international monopoly on cabbage cuisines. I followed with a spicy 🌶️ dumpling dish and steamed rice. 🍚 I left full and satisfied. The fact that the owner was wearing a Tshirt in honor of veterans made the whole, impromptu stop even better. So glad Google maps helped me find the place. I definitely recommend this lovely spot for a yummy meal.

This is an excellent spot for Sichuan comfort foods. Whenever I crave that numbing spice flavor, I come here and eat Chongqing noodles. The restaurant is very meticulous with the details and it shows in all the enhancements of flavor and texture. It's a family-owned restaurant and the owner is very involved and also just so personable. And parking is easy here. Good spot overall.

I ordered the Black Pepper Angus Beef bowl with lomein. Although there was no mention of an extra charge on the menu, or notification from the serving employee that there would be an extra charge for the Black Pepper Angus Beef selection, I was charged an extra $1.25. There was very little beef in the bowl and everything was very oily. All I could taste was oil and black pepper. I would not recommend this selection. Definitely not worth the price. Luckily there are nearby mom & pop Chinese restaurants that serve quality food with fair portions and prices. Update: Got 2 Beijing Beef bowls, one with Fried Rice and one with Lo Mein noodles. The beef was oily and so heavily breaded to the point you could only taste the sauce. The fried rice was ok, but the Lo Mein noodles were oily. I would not order Beijing Beef again. Update: Got the new Hot Orange chicken bowls, one over Lo Mein and the other over Fried Rice. Both were good.

The best panda express location! They are quick and the food is always fresh and tasty. Of course the portions they give will always be tracked (shrimp count, etc.) But as far as the quality goes, the food is the best quality compared to other Panda locations in San Diego.

That good 90's style American Chinese food. Definitely the best in San Diego, if not in so cal. If we use panda Express as a benchmark, with panda receiving a B- these guys get a solid A. The server was very friendly and they were open to modifications. I've been trying to find a place that makes green bean chicken with black bean sauce and noticed they had green bean chicken and they had a dish that was green beans with black bean sauce. They combined it into one dish for me and it was delectable.

Authentic food & service. Ladies helping us were so kind, took time to go over the menu with us. Affordable place to eat & delicious. Nice little spot. I got phili roll & tried their bagel roll. Plenty to eat & had left over!

Ive been eating here for some years now and the experience has always been good. From the food to the workers its been a positive experience that I would recommend for anyone. I really enjoy their soup!!!

Steer away from this place I’ll get five stars for the service I was helped and acknowledged immediately I’ll give the food 2 stars and 1 stare for the food portion asian restaurants like this the portions are usually big not here. I will give zero stars for the sanitary of this establishment. Place is extremely dirty and rundown in need of a real good deep cleaning. I would not recommend this place At all till the place gets cleaned up good. Also, the only reason they are busy because the special they have.(not good at allllll) run the other way.
