The Return of Sam Wo's in SFO

I ate there a few times, 30 years ago, and my SFO friends have been down in the mouth ever since it closed.

Loved this review. A bit over-wrought, but savagely funny.

LOL… funny review and spot on. Even in the late 80’s, the last time I spent any lengthy quality time in SF, it was a much different place than today. Once you got away from the touristy places like Fisherman’s Wharf, the Golden Gate or Union Square it was pretty gritty. Not so much anymore.

I liked this comment…

For no longer was it fashionable for bright young things to break laws and contract STDs. Instead they spent their unbillable time building their personal brands, and staying on-brand, with impeccably “curated” West Elm simulacra of their lives. Here’s a top-performing influencer moodily perusing a persimmon farm at dusk, and here’s a well-lit tight-crop #nomnom of aspirational avocado dipping toast and Bosnian fondue—by all measurements, a winner at 300 Likes.

saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walkin’ through the streets of SFO in the sun
He was lookin’ for the place called Old Sam Wo’s
Gonna get a big dish of lightly oiled chow fun
