Sam Wo

When we heard that Sam Wo, a hundred year old San Francisco institution, might be shutting its doors for good, we stood in line right away! Unfortunately it was Ella's first and last time...

Although we got there pretty early, we still had to wait about 45 mins to get seated. We ended up sharing the table with this nice mother and daughter duo. The Mom have been a patron of Sam Wo's for 45 years and started taking her daughter there since she was Ella's age!

 

We ordered the usual tomato and beef chow mein and their famous BBQ park wrapped in rice noodle sheet.

It definitely brought back some memories of us eating there late at night after going drinking. Those days are gone for sure, and life goes on as so appropriately depicted by a color pencil drawing hanging in the restaurant's second floor dinning room.
