Restaurant Vieux Kam-Shing draws praise for generous portions, affordable prices, and solid Chinese dishes, with favorites like noodles with broccoli and beef and a variety of soups. The general tao and orange beef get frequent nods, with the general tao called excellent and the sauces described as homemade and light, though the orange beef is sometimes a touch light on the orange. The meats are noted to be fresh and thickly cut and the steamed rice often praised for being perfectly cooked. Freshness and tasty flavors are common themes across reviews, along with quick, efficient service when dining in and a busy atmosphere. Some experiences mention takeout still delivering delish results, while a minority report service that felt unfriendly or rude and a decline from past visits. A few reviewers note the restaurant is a bit away from downtown but worth the drive, and several say they would return for another dining in experience. Overall, the place is described by many as one of the best Asian options in town, with tender meats, well balanced seasonings, and standout dishes like canard roti and shrimp, yet a small number feel that it has changed and not met expectations.
I just recently tried this place again after a couple of years & it's still very disappointing. Fishy tastes where there isn't any fish, The weirdest General tao sauce that i can't even explain, rice was completely tasteless…Not to mention they put the general tao upside down in the bag so everything was drenched in sauce. It's also expensive. There are some things that arn't that bad but it just so happened that everything in my last order was.

I picked up some food here for our 20 year anniversary & I was completely blown away the food is unbelievably good!
We did takeout & it included their general Tao chicken, chicken fried rice, & pork BBQ noodles. I have never eaten general Tao that good before. The chicken was super fresh & crunchy. Their chicken fried rice was so tasty & the BBQ pork was moist & full of flavor. We found our new spot for takeout ❤?
The atmosphere seemed fine, although I ordered take out, I was in & out. But the food was delish. We ordered general tao & orange beef. The orange beef was a little light on the orange, however the beef & chicken pieces were fresh & thickly cut. You could tell it is homemade. The sauces equally tasted homemade & light. You did not bloat after eating it. The steamed rice was cooked perfectly, it wasn't crunchy (as it sometimes can be if overcooked or're-used'). All in all, a very good experience. We will be back to dine-in for sure :). Thank you!
