Small parking lot. All the barbecue food and Black bean sauce clams taste amazing. Staff speaks English, Chinese and Vietnamese. ### lrene — 5.0/5 · Oct 22, 2025 🥰🥰🥰 ### le_petit_prince — 5.0/5 · Oct 22, 2025 Chinese barbecue pork why not ### eatingood — 3.3/5 · Jun 5, 2025 Only came for a take out order of roasted Peking duck over rice. Forgot to take a photo of my order before it was eaten. Duck was good. Tasted like what I would expect a roasted duck to taste like. They gave a generous amount of rice. Didn't check out their dining section, but seemed small. Probably handful of tables. The place looked run down, a bit dirty, hole in the wall type eatery. Health code rated at a B. I probably wouldn't sit and eat there, but would consider ordering takeout. ### anitakk — 4.3/5 · Aug 22, 2025 Yummy😋 ### ksbb — 4.3/5 · Aug 24, 2025 Good ### zyzzyva — 4.3/5 · Nov 6, 2025 Sam Woo Barbecue in Alhambra delivers fast service and tasty Chinese BBQ classics. It’s a reliable spot for quick, satisfying meals. Unfortunately, they don’t accept credit cards, which means no Franki cash back or card perks. Bring cash and enjoy the flavors. ### lemontea — 4.3/5 · Nov 6, 2025 🍖 Sam Woo BBQ in Alhambra serves up tasty Chinese BBQ with solid flavors and generous portions. Just a heads-up—they only accept cash, so you won’t be able to use credit cards or get perks like Franki’s 5% cashback. Plan ahead and bring cash to enjoy the meal hassle-free. ### ateeats — 4.3/5 · Mar 27, 2026 #samwoobbq #dinnerwithfriends #cashonly 3/26/26 Family style dining with friends is always a welcome treat after a long work week. Our server, Johnson, was super pleasant, attentive & funny. Our food arrived very promptly-piping hot & flavorful. You know it’s authentic when you see the glistening roast ducks hanging for sale. Enjoyed our experience here. CASH ONLY, ATM on premises.
