Unfortunately, the actual experience was nothing like the hype. First, parking is a nightmare. I would seriously add an extra 20-30 minutes just to find a spot. Once we finally made it inside, we waited another 30 minutes to be seated. After sitting down, it took close to another 30 minutes before anyone came to take our order, and then roughly another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. So you're potentially looking at well over an hour and a half of waiting and inconvenience before you really get to eat. And the dim sum cart that brought us there in the first place? We never saw one. They did have a dim sum menu that we could order from, but that was not the experience being promoted in the videos we had seen. The food itself was just okay. Nothing was terrible, but nothing justified the hype or the amount of time and hassle involved. If you've had good dim sum in places like New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, or San Francisco, this isn't remotely in the same league. Between the parking, the long waits, slow service, missing dim sum cart, and average food, I genuinely don't understand the crowds. Hard pass for us. Once and done.

I genuinely enjoy Lam's Kitchen. It's one of those places I'm willing to drive out of my way from…read moreUptown to Matthews for--and it's worth the trip every time. As a Bay Area foodie, I'm always searching for Chinese food that gives me that same feeling I get in San Francisco or Houston's Chinatown. Lam's comes close. The ingredients taste fresh, everything is made to order, the proteins are tender, and the flavors have depth without being heavy or overdone. This visit, I ordered the scallion beef, and it was excellent--tender beef, plenty of scallions and onions, and beautifully seasoned. I asked for something spicy on the side, thinking sambal or hot chili sauce, and they brought me chili crisp. Perfect. And yes, I know sweet and sour pork can sound cliché, but theirs deserves some respect. It's made with cubes of tender pork, bell peppers and pineapple, and the sauce isn't cloyingly sweet. The quality of the pork makes the dish. I'm already looking forward to the leftovers. Other favorites include the string beans with ground pork and the beef with broccoli. Both are stellar. They also have an extensive dim sum menu. It's ordered from the menu rather than served from carts, which means there's plenty more for me to work my way through. There's something comforting about eating here. Seeing families gathered around the tables enjoying Chinese food sometimes makes me a little homesick for meals out with my mom. Food has a funny way of doing that. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable and nicely air-conditioned, with a large live seafood/lobster tank. Service is friendly and fast. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and there's an easy parking lot right outside. Lam's Kitchen has earned a permanent spot in my rotation. I'll happily keep making the drive to Matthews and eating my way through the menu. Life is too short not to eat well. Get out there and find your next meal.

Everything is always GREAT! The waitstaff treat you like FAMILY…read moreEven though there were 3 of us eating, there are always leftovers to enjoy the next day.

Normally, I'm not too surprised by the pricing (even for lunch), but it felt a bit high...given that everything was served on paper and plastic wares. I did like how they have these DIY take-home plastic wares accessible and ready to go...so some points for that! Overall, it's just a casual eatery...not a full scale restaurant. I prefer full scale service, complete with nicely plated presentations, but this type of DIY eatery is just something that's becoming more common.

Total hole in the wall but what a find. Traveling through, the town looks pretty rough. We saw this place and didn't even consider going in. Saw some reviews and thought, we've probably had worse. Decided to try it out, get a boat load of food and head back to the hotel room. It was so good and plenty of it. The egg rolls aren't worth getting/paying for so I would skip those. Everything had great flavor and tasted pretty fresh. Overall, great stop. Only thing I would give bad marks on is the dirtiness of the front door/windows. I have this thing about the first thing to greet you in ANY business is a dirty door with millions of greasy fingerprints. It takes two minutes to clean that and make you feel good about coming in to eat there. If what you CAN SEE is that dirty, what does it look like where you CAN'T see? read more

I ordered shrimp fried rice and pan fried dumplings. The delivery was fine and the bag arrived sealed and tied closed, so I do not believe this was the driver's fault. The problem was with the food. I ordered shrimp fried rice and received plain fried rice with not a single shrimp in it. That was very disappointing, especially since that is the main item I paid for. The food itself tasted okay and the dumplings were fine, but nothing about the meal stood out. It was just a basic takeout experience. The biggest issue was simply that the order was not correct.

I also have had a broken carry out tray so there was sauce all over the bag, condiments, and other trays. The staff should take more consideration in packaging food so that it doesn't waste everywhere inside of the bag.
