Sam Woo BBQ

The OG Chinese BBQ spot in the GTA. Every time I visit my mom, this is a must. Half a BBQ duck and 1lb of BBQ pork (fatty). The atmosphere screams 1990s. A very happy period in my life so atmosphere gets 5 stars ... not for everyone lol. Superb flavours! Go visit your parents and bring them some BBQ!

My first time back to this place in 25 yrs. And it’s better than ever. The ginger and green onion lobster was divine, very fresh, beautifully done. And the beef tenderloin was equally amazing. The service is not warm and fuzzy, I like that. I hate pretentious service. They are efficient, polite and are 100% focused on getting fresh, high quality food to your table. That’s their goal.

Really og Chinese resto that's been around foreverrrr Where they lack in decor they make for in reasonably priced dishes with good portion sizes and tasty bbq Whether you choose to eat in or take out their famous Chinese BBQ pork and duck is a must to try. Their chicken wings are surprisingly good and even come with the tips! Service is good and personal, as mentioned atmosphere is dated and clientele is mostly Chinese aunties and uncles but that really shouldn't matter Definitely somewhere to try if in the area.

My first visit to this place was in 1990 and famous for BBQ pork and others. After 30+ years, Sam Woo still stands strong in Scarborough and must have a reason. We ordered two kinds BBQ meat platter (BBQ pork and roasted ducks), 2 deep fried soft-shell crabs, and vegetables in garlic sauce. The BBQ meat platter was very tasty and roasted just right. Soft-shell crabs came hot but delicious. Vegetables were also spot on. They also served hot soup before meal and fruits after the meal. Sam Woo has impressed with their fine food standard for so many years. We arrived at 6:30pm and still have table for us. By 7pm, all tables were taken. So be sure you come early or book in advance. The waiters can greet a lot of customers by their last name, and definitely very popular for repeated customers. There also have BBQ meat for take-out. However, the decor just needs refurbishment.

I was out with my aunt and uncle, assisting them with an errand and grabbing some lunch. We went to Sam Woo BBQ, a place I haven't been to in a very long time. Of course, we had a BBQ platter, consisting of BBQ Duck, Roast Pork, and Soya Chicken. We also had Cantonese Chow Mein, and Sticky Rice. It was all pretty good! Their food has always been decent, well above average, but their service has been hit or miss. You never know how it's going to be. This time it was pretty good. We finished the BBQ meats and I took home the balance of chow mein and rice to enjoy later.
