Overall, reviews describe Foo Lam Restaurant Maison as offering flavorful Chinese dishes with generous portions and good value, a wide variety of items including tofu dishes, hot and sour soup, house fried rice and dim sum; experiences range from family friendly and fast, friendly service to concerns about cleanliness and rude or inconsistent staff, with preparation seeming to vary by chef; takeout and delivery are generally reliable, though ordering interactions can be awkward, and some visits feel worth returning for while others highlight atmosphere or service issues.
I've gone here with colleagues several times for lunch, today was the last time. The place keeps getting filthier & the waitress (same server each time, I think she's the owner) is so unpleasant & rude. I left a $2 tip to reflect the service received, & I feel even that amount was being generous. She insisted on a minimum even after I told her the service was poor. Why have a restaurant if you hate people? Also, maybe take a mop to the joint...
Great chinese food (variety, fresh, generous portion, quality, nice cooking). Good price. Their crab maw soup, house specialty fried rice, shrimp in lobster sauce, Sechuan beef tasted pretty good.(edit 2026: food preparation is inconsistent, looks like it depends on which chef is on duty)
I went to the restaurant & the ladies who she don't know how to speak with the people & she don't respect anyone & I just talk with her & I come back because of his behaviour was not good & also there is there was the Uber Driver waiting for their order, & she's talking roughly very roughly
Visited Foolam with the family & had a great experience! We ordered a variety of dishes & everything was delicious, We left full & satisfied. The staff were very friendly & helpful, which made the visit even better.
The place looks a bit old, but don't let that fool you! the food is amazing & totally worth it. Definitely recommend this spot for family dining!
I have ordered many different tofu dishes from Foo Lam & they're all delicious, especially the Jade Tofu in the picture! I only order to-go or on Ubereats so I can't speak on their service but my orders were always prepared on time.

If you are a Doordash, Uber Eats or other delivery driver, avoid picking up orders there; they are rude & arrogant. They should be smiling & thanking you, but instead they greet you coldly.
I was initially apprehensive after reading some negative reviews. However, I decided to give it a try, & I'm so glad I did!
What truly impressed me was the speed at which they prepared the food without sacrificing quality. The first time, I got a hot & sour soup only. A single large portion is more than enough to serve three people. On my first visit, I requested it to be spicy, but I found it to be milder than expected. Undeterred, I returned another time & asked for it to be'very, very spicy,' & that's when I finally hit the mark. It seems they cater to a large customer base that don't eat spicy.
I've only opted for take-out, & each time, the quality has been consistently high-fresh, hot, & ready in no time. My only minor complaint would be the person who answers the phone. Their English can be a bit difficult to understand, which can lead to some confusion when placing an order.
L emplacement est correcte..La nourriture est excellente..Tres bon..Par contre, le service est horrible...la madame est habillé toute croche, elle te pousse à commander...sans patience....Elle chiale parqu'on commande beaucoup & elle chiale , too many people ....Du vrai n'importe quoi...
Heureusement, la.bouffe est bonne...mais pire service ever....La madame devrait faire d'autre chose que du service
Nourriture super bonne
Par contre, les employés se crient après dans la salle à manger devant tout les clients & une serveuse se met même à pleurer, aucune excuse rien
Vraiment malaisant comme situation
Toilette sale, sechoir à main non fonctionnel & aucun papier..
