I did a lot of googling and was slightly skeptical of Sam's kitchen because of the reviews however I decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. When you first enter the establishment, it looks quaint and typical for a Chinese restaurant. There were maybe 12 tables and at noon on a Sunday, we did not have to wait. We were promptly seated and asked about what kind of tea we liked. They speak both Cantonese and mandarin - the ladies were the sweetest! Very attentive ( at least one of them was) and we got our food very quickly. Our order: Har gow - the skin was perfectly thin. When you pick it up, make sure you let it cool slightly or else you break the skin before you pick it up. The shrimp were amazing! They were juicy and had a very good bounce to it - a sign that it's perfectly fresh and cooked Siu mai - pork bases finished with fish row on top. Juicy. Soft. Meaty. Absolutely satisfying when you're craving for it. Shrimp spring rolls - it was served with a plum sauce? Didn't taste the sauce, but the shrimp was on point. My only complaint is that the spring roll wrapper was a bit too thick. Fried tentacles - fried, not pan fried like your typical dim sum places in toronto. It was tender and flavorful. Not too greasy. But rather the batter was light and squid was fried to a very nice golden brown. BBQ pork steamed buns - bread bun was sweet, fluffy and perfect. Not a lot of filling but it was good. Sweet bbq pork filling, not a lot of gravy. Slightly different from toronto dimsum places where the ratio of meat and bun is a little over half. But the bun was perfectly steamed. Chiu chow fun go - peanuts and meat wrapped up in a crystal shell. Typically served with chili oil, they gave me chili sauce when I asked for it. The skin was very thick... surprising because their skin on the har gow was perfect. Dough fritter rice roll - ok. I LOVED this. Dough fritters were freshly fried. It had an amazing crunch wrapped with the soft rice roll and covered in the sweet soy. They didn't give us the usual peanut sauce and hoisin, but I don't typically dip it anyway so not something I missed. Eat this when it comes to your table. If you leave it, the dough fritter, like all friend foods covered in sauce, will get soggy. Well done! Fried taro dumpling - I wasn't sure about this one when I ordered it. Everywhere I've gone it's never fresh / fried enough until the center is hot. However they do it pretty good. The center was hot. That's a plus. It was crisp and not greasy... another plus. But a lot more taro than meat filling and gravy inside. It is a little on the heavier side but I love taro. If you don't like taro, this would be like... a slightly more flavorful potato croquette with a pork filling. Lotus wrapped sticky rice * didn't eat.. we were too full Egg tart - umm. When it came, it looked good. The egg mixture was a nice deep yellow glossy color, a little different from regular egg tarts. The pastry is a flake pastry. I wouldn't necessarily order this again. The egg mixture is more gelatinous and deviates from the eggy light goodness that egg tarts are typically. But the pastry was good. We ate almost 10 dishes... had tea... and it came to about $50 with leftovers. Ok, we did order quite a bit but it's really so that we can figure out if we would be coming back or not. They do their shrimp right. Most of the food that came in were good. It's not Markham standards but pretty on par with Cameron's at a fraction of the price. Service was great! I would definitely go again as my go to dim sum place in kw to try everything else. They accept credit and cash - I had assumed it was cash only which is a plus. Parking is slightly limited.

There's a handful of parking spots outside, not much though. Great for family and friends, lots of seating inside. Good for groups of 2-8.

We came here with family who have been here over the years, although it was my first time. If you were to go back in one to your favourite Canadian Chinese restaurant experience, this restaurant would top it. The food is amazingly true to all of the best that I remember of the genre but less greasy and without that "I think I just ate a lot of bad stuff and now need to lie down" feeling. We had jar doo chicken wings, fried rice, amazing egg rolls and spring rolls, delicious chicken chop suey, sesame chicken, Singapore noodles, and their perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious chicken balls with the accompanying sweet and sour sauce. I have not enjoyed such tasty Canadian Chinese food since I was little. Apparently, I am not the only one that feels this way as their door opening chime did not stop ringing the whole time we were there. The service is delivered with efficiency, great care and plenty of smiles. And finally the price point is terrific. $70 bill for four people with enough to take home for at least another meal. Walk, bike, drive, or run, as long as you do make it to this amazing little gem of Canadian Chinese glory! Ps. Sorry I did not get all of the pictures as by the time I realized, and came down from the euphoria of the egg rolls, the food was half eaten. I think some of it by me too. All a magical blur, really.

Atmosphere: It was freezing when the door opened, but otherwise fine. There's limited seating, but enough. However, if you're seated near loud students, it's hard to have a conversation, which makes it less enjoyable for families or non-students. Service: I don't blame the servers; I blame management for not empowering them to handle issues. The host was pleasant, and we were seated quickly. We had to ask for a paper menu, but that wasn't a big deal. The problems started when a server brought our food and spilled sticky garlic sauce all over me. She seemed confused at first, and my wife had to point it out. Instead of helping, she brought back just a few napkins and a wet paper towel. The sauce soaked through my shirt, stained my jeans, and dripped onto the table and floor. I went to the washroom to clean up, but my shirt was ruined, and I had to wear my winter coat zipped up for the rest of the meal. When I returned, the mess was still on the table, bench, and floor. I had to clean most of it myself before asking staff to wipe it properly. By the time I could eat, my food was cold, and I was sticky and frustrated. The staff apologized and offered to waive the $11 appetizer, but the ruined shirt, stained jeans, and overall experience weren't addressed. When I asked for the bill, it took 15 minutes to arrive, and I had to remind them to bring a takeout container. I paid the bill without saying anything. But then they asked how they could make it right, and I told them the scope of the issue and what they could do, but they seemed clueless and offered nothing of real value. Final thoughts: My $50 shirt was trashed, I spent $6 on laundry, and my night was ruined. Management needs to train staff to handle mistakes properly--it would cost less than the damage to customer experience. The excuse that they are just part timers and don't know what to do isn't a valid excuse. Empower your employees to make a mistake right. And when they told me how they could make it right, I just asked for my money back. I'd not have left this review if they had done that. Oh, and the parking is terrible.
