Description:
Sam Wo Restaurant, established in 1900, is one of San Francisco's oldest and most iconic Chinese restaurants. Located in Chinatown, it became famous for its late-night hours and its unique blend of traditional Cantonese dishes. The restaurant gained even more notoriety when restaurateur Edsel Ford Fung took over in the 1950s, bringing with him a distinctive, often no-nonsense service style that earned a loyal following. Despite facing challenges in recent decades, including a temporary closure in 2012, Sam Wo has remained a beloved landmark, symbolizing both the rich history and evolving nature of San Francisco's Chinatown.
