Woe is Me, San Francisco's Sam Wo Restaurant is Closed

When I moved from Texas to San Francisco yeeeeeeeeears ago, my first day at work translated to lunch (even then) at  a legendary but tiny eatery, Sam Wo's.  Located just off Chinatown's Grant Avenue on Washington, you walked through the kitchen, up to the 2nd and 3rd levels, and had to bring in your own drinks. We usually ran nearby to a small grocery. Then, you sat at old, painted but chipped picnic tables to be served by waiters who were rudely dismissive.  Most apt description I've read: "They made the Soup Nazi seem like the Dalai Lama." Best part: It was very cheap. Worse part: It closed Saturday.
