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.
The place is simple & unassuming. They serve real cantonese wonton (with shrimp filling). The cantonese chow mein is as close to the real deal I have found as of yet, the noodles are well done it, the sauce tastes right, theres plenty of protein (squid, de-tailed shrimp, char xiu pork, chicken), & while the vegetables aren't what I hope for (bok choi, water chestnuts, bamboo sprouts, gai lan, shitake mushrooms), the americanized selection they've made makes sense (none of that carrot/onion/bell pepper/coli-flower stuff). The imperial roll was good, but I wasn't too keen on the stuffing. Overall, great place, good variety, as close to an authentic cantonese experience you can find nowadays.
A must try hidden gem in Laval. Since moving from Ontario, I've been searching for a good Chinese restaurant. Everything is made fresh from scratch. Everything is so good. It's hard to decide each time l go. The chicken wings are do die for. Don't wait to get home. Eat them in the car while they are hot 😜 The salt & pepper shrimp ✨ The ribs, general tso, beef broccoli fried wonton & fried rice are my favourite. Hands down best Chinese restaurant.
Best Chinese food in town. We've been customers for over 20 years between the one on Cote de Neige & Laval. Restaurant itself is basic but the food is excellent & service is fast & decent.
Parfait pour les souper de famille & entre amis. Il y a beaucoup de choix, les portions sont généreuses, la cuisine est bonne & les prix raisonnables. Un bon resto cantonnais!

This place has definitely a nice atmosphere but the food is really not that great. The service takes way too long. The entry was ordered about 2 hours before it actually got there. The waiting was just way too long & the food was mediocre at best for it to be worth it.
Overall, Kam Shing was an excellent dining experience. The food was hot & tasty with very generous portions - enough to bring home for a late night snack or a whole meal the next day! The staff & service were extremely friendly, quick & efficient (especially considering how busy the restaurant was on a Saturday night) & they provided excellent recommendations. My favourite dishes from the evening were the crispy garlic shrimp, general tao chicken, peanut butter dumplings, crispy wontons, chicken fried rice & the duck. It is a very family/child friendly restaurant but would also be a really cute date spot. I would highly suggest ordering several dishes to share so you get to try all of the delicious options. Can't wait to go again!
The food was delicious, & they offer generous portions. The service was quick, with decent prices. For Chinese this is definitely one of the good ones in Laval.
My all time favourite Chinese restaurant in laval! Restaurant can become very busy so so suggest doing takeout. A bit pricey but every portion is for 4 people. You're getting way more for the buck.
