New Sam Kee Restaurant

The food here is good quality and authentic. My daughter and I dropped in for rice porridge and Chinese donut. The food was good. The highlight of the visit was the grandma taking our order, kudos and admiration to her. (I assume her family owns the business.) She is probably in her 70s or 80s and was waiting on tables and refilling the table condiment containers. The secret to a healthy and active old age must be to eat here and stay active. We left her a 30% tip. Go granny! 🥳

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for 3 generations now. We love the lobster garlic noodles, peking duck, honey walnut shrimp, salt and pepper fish fillet, hú tiếu mì, bánh bột chiên chúng, and more. I would definitely recommend this spot since everything tastes authentic.

Ordered the Lobster garlic noodles, roasted chicken and noodles soup, eggrolls. Very delicious!!! Chicken was roasted just the way I like it! And my hubby enjoyed the Lobster noodles. And my soup had no MSG, I knew this because after eating it, I did not have a headache lol Great food and good customer service. 👌

Came here to celebrate grandma’s birthday! Kinda felt like a wedding with all the food we ordered. I’ve only come here for the lobster noodles in the past, and was excited to try a variety of dishes this time. It was mostly empty on a Sunday evening. There was another big party, but I mostly saw takeout orders. The service was attentive. Here’s what we got: -peking duck buns: The skin was super crispy and some meat parts were dry. Loved the fluffiness of the buns, no sogginess here. I’d recommend asking for more buns, green onions, and possibly more sauce because there’s a lot of meat. -fried rice with fish roe: This came with shrimp (and possibly scallop?). It was mild enough to accompany the flavorful proteins on our table, although you can eat it alone too. My grandma was a fan! -honey walnut shrimp: Battered and thinly-coated shrimp tossed in a mayo sauce that wasn’t too thick although every part of the shrimps were coated. The shrimp meat was soft and chewy. -lobster garlic noodles: A classic lobster dish that had flavorful garlicky egg noodles tossed with garlicky-seasoned lobster. Had to use a fork to pull out the lobster meat. -ginger lobster: Tasty sauce with ginger and spiced coating the lobster meat. Really enjoyed this one! -fried lobster: Always love this dish; it’s better to pull the meat out and then taste some of the breading outside of the lobster shell. -sweet and sour fried pork: Good balance of sweet and tartness coating the breaded pork. The thinness of the pork worked well, and we ate it with fried rice. -crispy fried pork: Tasted garlicky and I liked the jalapeños that came with it. Too salty to eat on its own so we ate this with fried rice too. Same thinness as the sweet and sour pork. -stir fried greens and shiitake mushrooms: This was the last thing I ate because I needed vegetables in me. I love bitter mustard greens. The mushrooms, however, packed such a flavorful punch that it stayed in my mouth, even after dessert. Just be aware of the strong mushroom flavor if you eat this! The meal ended with slices of oranges on ice! The oranges were quite sour but it’s a decent palate cleanser. They also gave us plates and utensils for a cake we brought in. All in all a lovely dining experience for my family!

This down-to-earth place is a treasure. The taste is amazing. Lobster noodle has fresh lobster and juicy noodle. Combination congee truly has different kinds of meats that mix well. The Emperor fried rice appears to have tiny shrimp eggs (not sure), plenty of shrimps and some other seafood. The service is not fussy but very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is that of a community rather than privacy.
