Lam's Chinese Restaurant

Rethinking my recommendation for Lams! My food was not good! May be old or leftoversNot sure I'll be backVery disappointed Bummer

We absolutely love the food here and this is our go to meal. Spicy shrimp with fried rice. The service was great and were greeted and seated right away. It was really slow when we visited. It was really quiet tv was on but not loud like other places. Restaurant was very clean.

Hometown East side staple. Heard about it for years and somehow hadn't gone in. Boy am I glad Hubby and I did today. Old school family restaurant decor, plenty of space for diners. Ladies greeting and waiting on us were helpful, welcoming and kind. It was a cool afternoon, so I had to try the Congee available on the weekends. We opted for the Chicken. It was a dream. Smooth silky and creamy rice porridge. White meat chicken, with mushrooms, topped with some chopped green onions. Comfort food deliciousness. We shared some paper wrapped chicken. Little packets of tasty seasoned chicken. So good. Rounded out our meal with the Hot and spicy pork chops. Amazing. Delicate crisp exterior tossed in a salt and pepper spiced seasoning with green onions and what I think is a pepper oil. The pork and Congee alone are destination, crave worthy dishes. We ended up order a to go order of the Congee because I wanted it for later. Looking forward to our next trip and trying new to us dishes. Thank you Lam's for our wonderful lunch.

Usually good food but my egg foo young was horrible. I think shrimp was bad and they used it anyway

I've been going to Lam's ever since I moved to Bakersfield. This spot has the best authentic Chinese sit down food to date. If you want real stuff and not Panda Express or those standard to go places around the corner then this would be your destination. They have everything! Claypot dishes, noodle dishes, rice dishes, you name it. You can taste the "wok hay" from all of their food. One thing to note is you should finish all of your food right then and there because heating any of this up will not be as appetizing!I always love having crunchy house chow mein whenever I get Chinese. This is just the way to go. Always 10/10 as the noodles slowly softens, but make sure you finish it all as left overs as I've previously mentioned. Reheated soft noodles are not it! The beef clay pot was so savory! You can taste the generous mound of five spice they put in there. Always order a veggie dish such as stir fried green beans or eggplants to soften the heavy savory flavors. I would go here much more often if it was in a more accessible part of town. Lam's is a Bakersfield hidden gem!

My family has been coming to this restaurant for many many years. Their hot and spicy porkchop is always our go-to order here! We dined in around 5pm and the place was empty! So service was pretty quick. We ordered the hot and spicy porkchop and the house special lo mein! For the lo mein, we were asked if we wanted the noodles cantonese style or soft noodles and we said soft noodles. The food tasted really yummy! We always enjoy their food and have a good time here. Their pork chop tasted better than before! It's always been good these past few years but maybe because we haven't gone here in awhile. It tasted great!!!

Hey I've been going to this spot since 1987 when I moved to Bakersfield The food has gotten better and better over the years not worse like some old school establishment so whatever they're doing they're doing it well The egg shrimp foo young is always on point cuz that's what I always get My partner got sweet and sour pork The service is on point they're quick and the food is hot definitely recommend it when you're on the east side of town across from BC can't go wrong

We decided to go have lunch there today it was really nice. I'd never been there before the restaurant wasn't busy at all when we arrived. I have to say the pricing is really reasonable we ordered 2 lunch deals and we were served immediately with our soup, then our meal came right after. I did get hot tea and that was really tasty nice and warm on a cold day outside. The place is clean, the mushroom chicken was less flavorful then what I expected, and the mushrooms are canned. The orange chicken was delicious and I loved it. We're excited to return to try some more things on the menu and I'm happy that it's not too far from where we live which is a plus for me. So if you're like me and lived in Bakersfield for years and never been here please give it a try I know you won't be disappointed.

I visit here regularly whenever I crave Chinese food. I love their egg flour soup and chicken chop suey.

Lam's is probably one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Bakersfield. I have a few places that are on top of my list and this one is up there. I'm a fan of family style meals since I'm usually dining w family or friends. I love the idea of sharing different items so we know what to get next time. The place is a little outdated with a little bit of upgrades, but this place has been here a long while so it looks the same from many years ago.Any time we have dined in it has never been too busy, but I see quite a bit of people do phone/pick up orders. We are always seated pretty quickly and after we order our food it doesn't take long for them to get our food out. The staff is usually pretty nice, we've never had issues here. It seems like a family owned restaurant. My favorite item to order is either the wonton soup or the fried tofu w shrimp.We don't come here often since this place is not near our neighborhood, but we do like the food so we make our way out here sometimes. The parking area seems a little sketchy, so make sure to park close to the restaurant. There's lights, but not a lot of other businesses nearby. Parking has never been an issue since they have a good amount of parking and it's not usually too busy.
