" Visited camaraderie last week with friends and was blown away! Amazing food, the flavors really stand out. I had the garlic green beans and mapo tofu. The restaurant has a local feel to it which I adore, definitely a spot to feel at home while enjoying great food. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality of food you're getting. Definitely appreciate places like Kam Lok! " (*Curated Review*)

" Never expected to find such amazing food in such a small and unassuming place! Kam Lok serves up flavors that take you right back to a typical Cantonese family meal. Their dumplings were heavenly and freshly made. The portions are huge, and the prices are unbelievably low for what you get. This restaurant is a must-visit! However, be prepared for potential waits as it can get crowded! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Kam Lok and was thoroughly impressed by the authentic flavors they serve. The sweet and sour pork was fantastic and surprisingly not overly sweet. Portions were plentiful, and we even had leftovers to take home! The only downside was that the restaurant needs some cleanliness and tlc. Definitely a solid recommendation overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having grown up eating authentic Cantonese food, I was thrilled to find Kam Lok. The flavors reminded me of meals at my grandparents' house, which is something I deeply appreciate. The garlic green beans there were especially good, and the portion sizes are generous. However, I must mention that the service was rather curt. I think they could show a bit more warmth, but the food is truly the star here. Don't skip on the tea they serve — it adds to the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to San Francisco, Kam Lok came highly recommended for authentic Cantonese cuisine. I must admit, it lived up to its reputation! The food was flavorful and fresh, especially the seafood dishes. Portions were ample, and the prices reasonable. The atmosphere was very historic but could certainly benefit from a cleanup. Still, I’d be willing to overlook that for the culinary experience. " (*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*)
