Sam Woo BBQ is an institution in Southern California. I don't even know how many locations there are. Probably a dozen. I've eaten at four of them. These photos are from a visit to the San Gabriel restaurant in the 99 Ranch Plaza (140 W. Valley Boulevard).
I've loved roasted hanging meat since I was a child. Is that weird?
House special pork with preserved vegetable ($6.50).
This is the OG pork belly, people. Nom nom nom!
Sam Woo Combination Platter ($16.95).
Not a fan of the chicken and the large intestines, but everything else on the plate is great.
Beef chow fun with tender greens ($5.75), ong choy with bean curd sauce ($7.95), and tofu with spicy pepper and salt ($6.95).
All quite tasty.
Reliable. Good prices. Fast. Winner.
I want the combination platter in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteThere is one of these about a block away from our new house...
ReplyDeleteyeah, I don't think I'd be a fan of large intestines either. oh well, more for someone else!
ReplyDeleteI know where meat comes from, but I don't think I could see it like that.
ReplyDeleteI love Sam Woo!
