Been going here since i was a kid, had a lot of memories here, the duck and the shrimp fried rice, always delicious authentic Chinese food, no credit card but they do take zelle or venmo
their chicken and mushroom over rice is fire. 10/10, portions are huge too.
Ordered 1 pound of roasted pork. The meat bland but the skin was crispy. Not recommended.

San Wo Chinese Restaurant is a popular spot in San Diego known for its authentic Chinese food and generous portions. Customers appreciate the fast service and reasonable prices, with most items around $20, often enough to feed two people. The menu features various dishes, including Shrimp w/ Green Pepper in Black Bean Sauce, BBQ Pork and Roast Duck on Rice, and Beef Stew Wonton Soup, all praised for their flavors. The restaurant also offers unique items like a secret menu for Cantonese speakers.
While the food generally receives positive reviews, some dishes have received mixed feedback. For instance, the roast duck is noted for its good flavor, but some complain about the amount of meat in certain items, such as the oil chicken and beef noodles. The deep-fried crispy intestines are highlighted as crispy and flavorful, while the spicy calamari fries lacked seasoning and were chewy.
San Wo Chinese Restaurant is cash-only and also offers complimentary hot tea, a rare find in many establishments. Although it can appear a bit dirty at times, the overall dining experience—especially before grocery shopping at the nearby Asian supermarket—is described as enjoyable and worth the visit.
