Sam's Chinese Kitchen - Kitchener

We love coming back to this restaurant for its delicious authentic Chinese cuisine. It is head and shoulders above the mediocre "Chinese food" found in many other places. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

This hidden gem is a great find. I frequent this restaurant at least twice a month because they serve dim sum all day and the food is consistently good. The traditional dim sum options such as Har Gow, Shu Mai, and shrimp rolls are made with fresh ingredients. The spring rolls and Jar do Chicken wings are also delicious. I usually complete my meal with either the salt and pepper squid or Shanghai noodles. It's best to arrive early if dining in, as the restaurant tends to get busy after 5pm. I often opt for takeout by phoning ahead to avoid long waits during peak hours. Overall, I would give this restaurant 3 out of 5 stars.

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

Shortly after, another car pulled up on the other side of ours. Assuming it was an early customer, I was pleasantly surprised when the young woman approached the car simply to ensure we were okay and had been assisted. By 3:30, our order was ready, we paid, and by 3:32 we were on our way. The customer service was exceptional, and the food was as delicious as ever. I had the opportunity to speak with the person processing our payment, who mentioned that they treat their customers like family. I was truly impressed by the outstanding service provided by three different staff members. Thank you, Camerons, for this incredible experience. I will definitely be back for dinner soon.
