Overall impressions of Restaurant Vieux Kam-Shing point to solid, homemade style Asian dishes with generous portions and good value. The General Tao is repeatedly praised for being crispy, saucy and flavorful, while the orange beef is fresh and thickly cut though some say it could use more orange notes, and the sauces are described as homemade and light. The steamed rice is consistently well cooked and not crunchy, and several dishes are noted for tasting fresh and authentic. The atmosphere and service are described as fast and friendly by many, with the place being a bit away from downtown but considered worth the drive. However a few reviews mention changes to recipes and a decline in service, calling it not what it used to be and noting unfriendly or borderline rude staff, leading to reluctance to return. Overall the restaurant receives strong praise for its taste and portions with some reservations about consistency and service.
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!
Vraiment excellente cuisine asiatique ! Viandes tendres ,savoureuses, équilibres parfait pour assaisonnements, ça fondait dans la bouche ! Première visite, mais certainement pas la dernière.

Not what it used to be, sadly. Not too sure what changed but the food was ok & the service was horrible. Very unfriendly & borderline rude. We felt like we were annoying them with our presence. Won't be back there. It used to be such a gem.
