Our food arrived and unfortunately it was subpar even for Chino-American fare. Too sweet, tomatoey, and fried rice was greasy. After a few bites I tossed mine in the trash. Both our entrees, the General Tsao and Szechuan Beef, used the same base (and poorly executed). How is this possible except for diners who don't know the difference? There is so little excellent Asian inspired food in the area. This place is near the bottom. No bells. No whistles on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Not a do-over.

You come to places like this to eat 7 to 10 Lbs of reasonably good tasting food for a low price. This spot hits that mark with precision. If you want value, this is it. The price to portion ratio is exceptional. The flavors are actually pretty great. The ingredient quality is well above average for your typical takeout fare. It's not going to win any James Beard awards but it's perfectly fine being exactly what it is. A good takeaway restaurant. Worth a stop if you're hungry and on a budget. Crab rangoons: big and well stuffed. Chicken wings: crispy and tender with a ton of rice Chicken on a stick: "best I've ever had" says my 42 year old child of a friend. Hunan 2 ways: hearty and 3 meals worth of a portion. Pro tip: get the chili oil in the fridge if you want to add some heat and extra flavor.

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.

Singapore noodles ice cold and sent back. Only 2 shrimp in the entire order. The honey roast pork which was always beautiful, succulent slices of pork loin were this time small chopped up pieces of dried out, chewy meat similar (but not even as good as) to boneless ribs found in takeout joints. Service was slow and unattentive. They lost a customer today.
