Yeah. Not exactly a hole in the wall, as described, nor is it a big secret. For anyone who's read LA Weekly or the Times, it's a well-known chain in Chinatown (where there's also a Sam Woo) and the SGV.

While you're at Sam Woo on Valley Blvd in Alhambra, it's worth noting that one of LA's finest mexican stands is directly across the street. Key attractions on the Pepe's menu include the deep fried tacos, carnitas burrito, nachos (think lots of guacamole), and just about everything else on the menu.

Sam Woo is awesome, but for those of you not up for making the trek to Alhambra, there's one in Van Nuys too. Sam Woo BBQ Signature Plaza 6450 Sepulveda Boulevard Unit G Van Nuys CA 91411

Having married into a Chinese family I am exposed to all kinds of foods from Sam Woo's. By far my favorite is Cha Shu. Cha Shu is barbequed pork. They marinate the pork in a sweet red sauce and cook it a long time to melt the fat. The pork is then sliced thin and served over rice. I learned to love it in Singapore and am happy to get the real deal here in LA...
