Review Sam's Chinese Kitchen - Kitchener

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

Ordered a take out today hearing so many good things about this restaurant. My order came out to be around $80, i than asked if i was able to get extra hot sauce since i was ordering for four people, the lady told me that it would cost me an extra dollar for hot sauce. Really!!?? i understand that the price for everything has gone up but to take full advantage of the situation is terrible. Quite disappointed and would not be a returning customer

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.

Disappointingly, just had a bad experience at Cameron's. After years of favoring and recommending this restaurant, we will no longer return here, as our complaint was met with denial. The fried rice was no good, having a stale-like smell and taste, which was subtle but clearly noticeable, and unpleasant. When we called to complain, the lady "asked the kitchen", who said the rice is fine, and said no one has complained about it. Wrong, WE'RE complaining about it! And the kitchen staff isn't a customer, is it?! We're not making it up! A shame that this lady's poor handling of the issue will result in two less customers, and we'll have to find a new go-to restaurant for Chinese, who will hear if some of their regulars get some bad food. Shame.

Gone down hill. Ordered combo #5. Chicken balls and breaded shrimp were mush. They put it in with chicken chop Suey that had so much fluid it was like a soup. Called and complained and they didn't care! They put it in with chicken chop Suey that was like soup. I called and complained

Way over-priced! Paid over $100 for 2 mains, some rice and some chicken balls. Hardly any meat in main dishes just fillers, very oily and lacking flavour.

It was on e an iconic dim sum place for many members of the East Asian community. Unfortunatly time has changed, and Cameron has not only failed to cat his up, but they have regressed. Mostly good food but the quality has fallen since the original chef left town without notice. The food taste like they are using less fresh ingredients; some of the dimsum taste like they use low quality processed meat or spam. BEN Thanh has better dim sum than Cameron does now. For what it is currently, this place is over priced. They no longer care about quality.

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).

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.

First off, the service was terrible for mediocre dim sum. The price for 5dishes added up to around $35. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone out of town coming to Kitchener to eat... If you're coming to this place for dim sum, and you don't have a party of at least 4, expect to wait for a very long time regardless if you came before the party behind you and it doesn't matter if there's a large open table, they will wait until a small table opens up to seat you. Also, if you're not Chinese, they'll take the Asian party behind you in line also. And also, their chicken spring rolls was really gross, tasted more like a stuff potato spring roll, mushy and oily

These guys have no idea what they're doing. They have the worst 'system' for assigning people tables and do nothing to keep track of the customers enqueued. At the very least, they could have been assigning numbers to the people who are waiting. The dining experience was further lessened by the fact that diners could hear the staff being yelled at by management. Food was good, but the service didn't help the experience.

Worst Dim Sum in Ontario. Tasteless food, sticky rice with seven treasures lacked any treasure at all. Spring rolls were greasy and filled with some grey meat product , no flavour at all .The steamed garlic ribs in black bean sauce floated in a tasteless lake of oil <br/>not a hint of garlic and like little lumps of bone and rubber . The siu mei were gummy lumps , tasteless with a tough dough skin. <br/> We also ordered to combo plates to try the other menu. The sauce on the sweet and sour pork was good, but the meal was cold. The fried rice was typical with frozen peas and corn. The broccoli was the best part of the meal. My son said the black bean beef was excellent . However for $ 60.00 we could have had a far superior meal at the Cameron . We thought we would give Sam's a try, we came we saw we ordered. We tasted we paid we left, never to go back . I always say you have to pay for your education. We learned our lesson.

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.<br/><br/>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

Growing up in an Asian household, the concept of brunch does not include pancakes, french toasts, and obscene amounts of bacon. Instead, my family goes for Dim Sum almost every weekend. When we moved here several years ago, this weekly affair became a monthly treat given the rarity of good dim sum restaurants. Eventually, I just went cold turkey because no Dim Sum is better than bad dim sum. Dim sum refers to a style of Cantonese food prepared as small bite-sized or individual portions of food traditionally served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. Dim sum is also well known for the unique way it is served in some restaurants, whereby fully cooked and ready-to-serve dim sum dishes are carted around the restaurant for customers to choose their orders while seated at their tables. Eating dim sum at a restaurant is usually known in Cantonese as going to “drink tea” (yum cha), as tea is typically served with dim sum. Di
