Restaurant Vieux Kam-Shing receives mixed feedback from recent reviews, with many praising generous portions, good value and tasty dishes when the takeout or dine-in experience goes smoothly, including claims of an exceptionally good General Tao and fresh chicken fried rice, while other comments describe fishy tastes, a bland rice, an odd General Tao sauce, and packaging that drenches food in sauce; several diners also report inconsistent service, ranging from fast, friendly efficiency to unfriendly or rude treatment, but a number of guests say they plan to return for dine in or repeat takeout and consider it among the better Asian options in town.
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!

Vraiment excellente cuisine asiatique ! Viandes tendres ,savoureuses, équilibres parfait pour assaisonnements, ça fondait dans la bouche ! Première visite, mais certainement pas la dernière.
