" The first time I visited New Sam Kee, I was overwhelmed by the variety of options on the menu. My friends and I decided to share multiple dishes including the crispy duck and spicy clams, and everything was fantastic! The flavors were authentic, and it felt like a true culinary adventure. Just a minor issue with our reservation not being honored, which made us wait a bit, but it all turned out well. Definitely a recommended spot for anyone craving authentic Asian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family raved about New Sam Kee, and I can see why! The flavors were quite rich and authentic. I loved the sweet and sour pork, and my husband enjoyed the lobster dishes. The atmosphere is cozy, but the service could use a little refinement, as the staff seemed a bit rushed. Overall, a great place for comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Their fried rice is truly something special. Every bite tastes fresh, and I appreciate how generous the portions are! I went during lunch hours and noticed the place was quite busy. While the staff was friendly, they seemed overwhelmed. Regardless, the lobster garlic noodles were excellent, and I’ll definitely revisit, though I hope for a slightly quicker experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" New Sam Kee is a gem of a restaurant! The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, perfect for treating loved ones to a meal. We loved the peking duck and would recommend adding more buns to share! The lobster was well-cooked, and we enjoyed every dish ordered. Though the waitstaff could be more engaging and attentive, the food quality makes it all worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love ordering takeout from New Sam Kee. The food is always fresh and hot. The fried rice is to die for! I've had a few issues with incorrect orders, but the staff is always quick to rectify any mistakes. It's a reliable and affordable option for Asian cuisine, and I will continue to support their business. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great family restaurant! I've been bringing my family here for years and love the consistency in food quality. The lobster garlic noodles are heavenly, and the portions are usually more than satisfying. However, the service could really improve, as the staff often seem too busy to attend fully to customers. Nonetheless, I highly recommend it for a casual family dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my last visit. The service was unresponsive, and my food took far too long to arrive. When it finally did, the lobster was overcooked. This restaurant typically has a good reputation, but I'm hesitant to return after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)
