" The food at New Sam Kee was exceptional, with a wide range of authentic dishes that remind me of my childhood. The claypot goat with bean curd was rich and delicious! Just one downside - it was a bit noisy on a busy weekend. The service was decent, but not something to rave about. Overall, it’s a place I would recommend to anyone who loves traditional Asian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" New Sam Kee has quickly become my go-to restaurant for family dinners. I love how everyone can find something they enjoy on the menu. Prices are reasonable, servings are generous, and the garlic lobster noodles are heavenly. Although the service has been inconsistent, the authenticity of the food shines through, making it worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best places to enjoy authentic lobster dishes in the city. The restaurant is often packed, which is a good sign, and the community vibe makes dining here enjoyable. The only downside is the service getting a bit slow during peak hours. I strongly recommend their garlic noodles, they're phenomenal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was average during my last visit. The freshness was there, but I expected a bit more depth of flavors, especially from their seafood. I found the service friendly, but it lacked attentiveness. The atmosphere was pleasantly lively, and given its reputation, I may consider giving it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" New Sam Kee is one of my favorite spots to grab dinner with friends. The ambiance is casual, making it perfect for a laid-back evening. Even though communication with the servers can be tricky at times, I always come back for the flavorful lobster dishes. Definitely worth a visit! " (*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*)
