Lam's Chinese Restaurant

Please understand that this review is generous. We had lunch today for about $125 for five people, we ordered family style off the menu. My daughter pulled 2 hairs out of her food, and I pulled a short black curved hair out of my food. I wanted this to be a nice meal, as my wife and I had our first date 45 years ago at a nice Chinese restaurant and realized that our teens had never been to a sit-down Chinese restaurant (their experience with Chinese food has been limited to Panda Express and China Bistro. I read the recent Yelp reviews that are overwhelmingly positive for this restaurant over the last 3 years, so drove across town to try it out. Long story short, only the egg rolls had flavor, not the soup, not the mushroom chicken, not the lemon cod, not the bell pepper beef, not the fried wontons, not the deep fried shrimp, not the lemon chicken, and the sweet and sour pork barely, had flavor. We ended up taking home 5 medium containers of food, which I am hoping we can kick up a notch in our wok...however my wife has declined to do so. As we entered the restaurant, an elderly man in his 80s told the cashier he had an amazing meal, other elderly patrons had the same comment when they paid. I am glad that for some the food is amazing, but it **truly** could not even come close to Panda Express. I really, really wanted this to be a good experience, but it was just mediocre at best {{{sigh}}}

I usually have outstanding meals here. Usually. The egg flower soup was below average and bland. Smelled odd, like yesterday’s soup was added to it. My bell pepper beef had the toughest beef I’ve encountered. It was difficult to chewed up The lo mein was just too salty. They also lacked anything other than noodles. Same for the fried rice. I’ve never had anything bad here before. Until tonight. Just gotta wonder …. what changed?? The last picture shows what we left. We usually clean the plates off, but not this time. Be better, please?

I come to Lam's on my best and my worst days, and when I leave I always feel much better. The service is always great and you're never waiting too long. I've come by myself more times than I've been here with company and tonight was no different than all the other times I've came. Great price, great food, and great service!

I ordered roasted duck on rice, but what I got was deep-fried chicken—feathers still attached! Absolutely disgusting and beyond unacceptable. I called the restaurant, expecting an apology, but instead, the owner had the audacity to argue and fight with me over the phone. This isn’t the first time they’ve messed up, but it will definitely be the last. Three strikes, and I’m DONE. Horrible food, even worse customer service!

The braised beef was authentic and amazing. However the tofu was too bland and the Spinach was way too salty. I will be back and try other dishes next time. Oh, and beware of the hot sauce, it is really really hot.
