" Honestly, I went in with high expectations due to all the reviews I read. The place isn’t as clean as I’d hoped, which was a letdown. However, the food was decent, especially the pot stickers. It really does have good local favorites—perfect for a filling meal without a big price tag. Still, it wasn't the mind-blowing experience I had imagined. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a bit of a treasure chest in Chinatown. It feels like stepping back into a true Cantonese home. The dishes are served family-style, which I love. The flavors are authentic, particularly the pork rib dish I ordered. The service can be a little slow when they’re busy, but the food makes it worth the wait. It's a good place to explore different dishes since the menu is quite extensive. Just be prepared: the décor feels a bit dated. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard about Kam Lok from a friend and couldn't wait to try it out. Overall, the experience was good—solid Cantonese dishes that are delightful. The menu does a good job of representing home-style cooking, which I miss. However, I would advise that they improve on cleanliness as that can be a concern. The shrimp fried rice stood out to me, as did their price point. Worth a visit if you’re in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Kam Lok while exploring Chinatown and ended up with an unforgettable meal. The fried tofu was exquisite, and the generous portions made it ideal for sharing. Although the staff seemed overwhelmed at times, they still managed to provide decent service. Overall, it’s a great spot for authentic Cantonese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who craves authentic Cantonese food, Kam Lok is my go-to whenever I'm in the city. The dishes evoke fond memories of home-cooked meals with my family. I always end up ordering the shrimp fried rice and sweet and sour pork, and they never fail to impress. It’s truly a local treasure with a lively environment, but the cleanliness aspect is something they should definitely address. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Kam Lok after hearing rave reviews and it did not disappoint! The sweet and sour pork was the best I've ever had, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. The service was prompt, which was a pleasant surprise in such a busy restaurant. It's really a hidden gem in the bustling Chinatown area. Don't miss their lunch specials; they're great value for the portion sizes you get. I’ll definitely be coming back, as I am eager to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kam Lok seems to be an obvious choice for those who enjoy genuine Cantonese dishes. Though I wouldn't go there for the atmosphere, the food takes center stage with vibrant flavors that bring warmth. Staff interactions left a bit to be desired as they appeared busy, but they still delivered on order accuracy. Pricing is very fair for the amount of food one receives. " (*Curated Review*)
