This place has great authentic Chinese food, the reason we keep going back. It far surpasses the North American slop that normally passes for "Chinese food" in most other places. Can't wait to go back.
Great little undiscovered jewel. I eat here at least twice a month - primarily because they serve dim sum all day and the food is decent - the standard dim sum varieties here are good with fresh ingredients ( Har Gow, Shu Mai, shrimp roll etc.) but the spring rolls and Jar do Chicken wings are really good as well. I usually top this off with either the salt and pepper squid or shanghai noodles. If you go to the restaurant to eat in, go early because it fills after 5pm - I usually phone and pick up for take out to be sure I don't have a long wait dining in when they're busy.
3 stars out of 5 for this one
Lucky me! Although it took me longer than it should have to walk the few steps to this restaurant, I have finally discovered a hidden gem that is right around the corner from me. Granted, this particular incarnation has only existed for a short time, but I looked at the sign many times before when it was a bar and grill and never ventured inside. On this particular day we were taking our time getting up, after having had a big night the night before, neither of us was in the mood to drive and thus we found ourselves making our way down to Sam’s Chinese Kitchen . For being located in a tiny plaza, right next to a gas station, it was quite a surprise to walk in and find such a nicely decorated little restaurant. It was larger than I had expected though. There is a big crystal chandelier hanging in the centre of the dining room and lovely crystal sconces on the walls which are fascinatingly juxtaposed against the convenient plastic table cloths. After having a good peruse over the menu, w
4 stars for customer service because they’re really nice! But I asked for the sauce for my chicken balls on the side cause I didn’t want it to be soggy.. and they still put it on! The chicken balls sre edible they’re like mushy and soggy. The dim sum was good. The chop suey was just way tooo wet like a pool of liquid. Next time I think chop suey shouldn’t be in the same container as fried food.. they’re really pricey too. I will give it another shot though
On May 6th we were in town and decided to have supper. We didn't know that they opened at 3:30 but decided to wait 40 minutes for them to open. A vehicle pulled up about 3:10 and the woman (found out she was a manager) came to our car to see if we needed something. She took our order. 5 minutes later a young guy came to the car to verify (messy handwriting :-)) the order. Another car pulled up on the other side of our car. I thought it was an early customer. The young woman approached the car and just wanted to see if we were OK and if anyone helped us. At 3:30 our order was ready, we paid and left at 3:32.
AMAZING customer service and, as always, great food. I spoke with the person taking payment and he said, "we treat our customers like they are family". I was blown away by this excellent service from 3 separate staff.
Thank you, Camerons, for this wonderful experience and I will be *home* for dinner again soon.
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Coming from Toronto, I was mildly disappointed in the quality of food, especially having heard the high reviews. For a small city where Chinese cuisine options are limited, Cameron really is not bad. However, I would like the quality of sauce to improve, especially the choy (The sauce was so salty I was choking).
