If Sam Wo closes, Lee said that the brand could potentially continue in a different form, as the rich history and legacy of the restaurant could inspire new culinary endeavors.
"We've always known that this day would come," Lee told SFGATE. "Mr. Ho wanted to keep going, and even when we tried to get him to retire, he wouldn't leave. He just loves the place. But now he's ready to go... His body can't handle it."
"Sam Wo is listed as a 'rare and special opportunity,' priced at $381,895. Interested buyers would also be trained by chef Ho, who will teach them how to make Sam Wo's signature dishes..."
"When it comes down to December and the lease expires ... we're going to shut it down. We're going to clean up the place in January and have an auction because we don't have storage for it," Lee said.
