"Like the awning out front states, Sam Wo has been cooking for over 100 years, and is one of the oldest restaurants in SF's Chinatown."
"The two-story Cantonese restaurant-complete with a dumbwaiter-was famously home to "San Francisco's Worst Waiter" before closing and moving to a new location on Clay Street back in 2015."
"BBQ pork noodle rolls and youtiao are mainstays on practically every table, and you're just as likely to see multi-generational families doling out big portions of fried rice as you will a group of 20-somethings nursing hangovers over bowls of fish jook and wonton noodle soup."
Sam Wo has been operating for over 100 years and ranks among the oldest restaurants in San Francisco's Chinatown. The two-story Cantonese eatery features a dumbwaiter and moved to a new Clay Street location in 2015 after closing. The restaurant was once known for an infamous waiter, but service is now more polite and hours are shorter. Classic items like BBQ pork noodle rolls and youtiao remain ubiquitous on tables. The atmosphere attracts multi-generational families sharing large fried-rice portions as well as young groups enjoying fish jook and wonton noodle soup.
