Only decent one I've had is the roast pork in Lunasia. Sam Woo has been generally disappointing, 888 has acceptable Char Siu. My biggest pet peeve, is their inability of properly de-feathering poultry, i.e bits of the calamus still embedded in the skin.

Look in the kitchen and they have dozens of ducks hanging to dry. I think their char sui, roast pork and chicken is as good as any place. They probably do more in take out business than they do people dining in. Tue Oct 27 07:52:36 -0700 2009 5133440 11914 monku 1 5134853 Which Sam Woo has been disappointing?

I don't eat meat, but Lu Ding Ji (鹿鼎记) aka Duck House is pretty famous for this style of food. Tue Oct 27 11:28:25 -0700 2009 5133440 59830 will47
