I have been at this location multiple times (BBQ take out side) and the service has always been awful. A little disclosure, this restaurant has two sides, one a sit down area restaurant and in the back there is a separate take out section, same kitchen for both sides. This review is for the take out section only. Here's the most recent experience. The lunch items were minimal, hardly any of the steam trays have any food in them. The deli side is ok, I've seen better selection in Westminster and Garden Grove. I ordered one of the lunch special combos, the serving was plentiful because they were emptying the steam trays, so I got the leftovers. Time to pay, mind you the two Chinese guys in front of me paid by credit card, I was told cash only when I handed mine. On the way out, there was a piece of roasted pork that caught my attention so I asked how much is it for the piece, the person behind the counter said, minimum 1 pound. I left. The food was mediocre at best. The fried rice was mushy (you'd think they will have this perfected.) The dish was bland. The free egg drop soup was borderline 3rd graders' homemade adhesive glue, too much cornstarch slurry not enough eggs dropping. If you're in the area, this place is great because the only competition is the 99 Ranch Market for some quick Chinese deli. As for me, coming from The OC, there are plenty of options.

Food is amazing! Everything always tastes delicious and the service is fast. I've been going there with my family for 15 years now and I've never had a bad experience. Each ala carte plate ranges from $10 -$13 during their luncheon special. Dinner is almost double though. Also don't expect them to speak perfect English as they are an authentic Chinese restaurant but their menu is in both English and Chinese. Also, they don't make small conversation nor do they check on you every 15 mins to see if you need anything as the restaurant is run at a fast pace. They get you seated fast and served fast which is always a plus for me. They could do better with the cleanliness of their bathroom though. It needs a bit of updating.

Food is good, service is hit or miss, a little pricey, and the venue is in desperate need of a remodel. Been eating here for a long time(15+ yrs). Not a go to spot but if you are craving family style Chinese food it'll do. Recommend House Special Beef and Fried Tofu w/ XO sauce.

A long time standing restaurant in the Artesia/Norwalk/Cerritos area where you can sit down with family to enjoy the spinning lazy susan with all your Chinese favorites. Egg drop soup, roast duck, chow mein, etc. When the meal is done, the servers bring you your warm tapioca dessert and cookies to cleanse your pallette of all the savory dishes you order. Sam Woo, your typical gathering place for when you're in the mood for Chinese comforts in a sit down restaurant.
