Sam Woo is practically a household name in Southern California, much like Panda Express would be in most cities. There are dozens of them all over Southern California, from Monterey Park to Orange County. I used to go to the one in Irvine quite often, and loved that they had \"on-demand\" Peking Duck. Most Chinese restaurants make you order it 24 hours ahead of time, but here you can get it whenever you want. Some of the Sam Woo's are BBQ, some are seafood, but all of them serve traditional Hong Kong style Chinese food. \n\nThe Sam Woo in Las Vegas is a BBQ restaurant, which means they have the Peking Duck on-demand. This is my favorite part about this Sam Woo. They also have a lot of other BBQ items, such as BBQ spare rib and Chickens. These can be either bought at the sit-down restaurant, or at the counter at the front of the restaurant. \n\nThe restaurant is always pretty busy, but they handle the crowd well, and always have room for new tables. I really enjoy their Hong Kong style crispy noodles, and their Honey Walnut Shrimp. I also like the Pork Chop with Salt & Pepper. \n\nThe reason I give Sam Woo's in Las Vegas a 3-star review is because it does not live up to the hype of the southern California restaurants. I have found that the one out here in Las Vegas is hit or miss, having had very mediocre food on several occasions, while also having the typical great Sam Woo cuisine on severl other occasions. This is what left me at 3 stars. If they were consistent, it would be a 4-5 star, but until I consistently get the Sam Woo quality, they will never earn the other stars. \n\nThis being said, I would suggest Sam Woo for anyone looking for great Peking Duck or Chinese BBQ. There are not many other places in town that do it as well as them.
