New Sam Kee Restaurant

Great place for a small or large party. We were there on Thanksgiving with a party of 15. The only bad thing is they didn't have our reservations. But the table was available in the corner and we had to split in 2. The food is very fresh and tasty here. My favorite is the steam sea bass fish. It is sooo good. The rest is just as tasty. Service is great and fast. It's a bit high priced. But we ordered some pretty expensive dishes. Love this solace and love to come back again and again

I was coming to New Sam Kee Restaurant frequently, then Covid hit, and I haven't been back since. I am glad to see that they are still around and doing well.Good sized restaurant that can accommodate a small wedding banquet, etc.I picked up take out of some Beef Chow Fun (dry fried). Great taste, a tad bit oily, but fresh soft noodles.Overall, it is a solid 3.5 stars. Good place for Cantonese food.

Date: Thursday, January 4th, 2024Time: around 4:45pmMeal: Dinner Takeout / PickupThe hubby's bro was grabbing dinner from here and asked me if I wanted anything. I decided to get this menu item - 6. Japanese Surf Clams with Garlic. I have no idea how much the dish was since I didn't pay, but their online ordering system lists it as $17.99.You get both halves of the surf clam. (I know some places only serve one of the shells, but for this price, it should be two.) The clam was nice and chewy as were the noodles. Lots of garlicky flavor too. I did wish this came with a soy jalapeño sauce of sorts, but I had hot chili oil at home, so that added the needed kick.I believe the bro in law got 94. Suon Rang Muoi - Salt & Pepper Ribs ($14.99) and 102. Bo Mong Co - Mongolian Beef, Hot ($14.99). Not sure if he got a combo since they were both in the same box, but I started dinner later than him, so he could have combined them into one box after he finished eating. I did try a piece of the pork and it was nicely fried. A tad dry and underseasoned for me, but still pretty good. (I like lots of jalapeños.)I've always wanted to try their Caviar King Crab, Lobster Garlic Noodles, and Kingdom Seafood Fried Rice. Maybe one day when I have a larger group, I'll come back and try all three!

Food was very delicious. I would definitely come back again as well as I would recommend the seafood fried rice.

One of my family member's favorite places to eat. It's a great family-style restaurant. I'm not the biggest fan of their service but the restaurant has amazing food and it's pretty cheap so you should try it if you want authentic Chinese food.The atmosphere and vibe just weren't it for me. Service was what you expected at a Chinese restaurant but this was a bit more awkward. They didn't talk the whole time even when they came to take our order and just let my dad talk. It's not a big deal for my parents and the food was delicious and filling so I gave them 4 stars. I just wouldn't come here alone haha! We got kidney soup, Basil clams, and imperial fried rice (the English names kill me haha!!!). All of the dishes were so flavorful and delicious and super filling. The kidney soup sounds weird but it's so good and the soup is so flavorful, it has a similar taste to duck soup. The basil clams are so soft and the noodles are bouncy. They have a soy sauce flavor so they go good with the tea. The imperial fried rice has shrimp and I think roe on top, it's not salty at all, have to try!.10/10 for the food! Probably doing a to-go order next time though :p

I came here with a friend on a Friday morning for some classic chinese porridge with black egg and chinese donut. The restaurant looks like your typical chinese restaurant, nothing too special and the service was quick. The porridge came out in a huge bowl, I wasn't able to finish the entire thing. The taste was good and what I was expecting. The chinese donut paired with the porridge was great, I really liked it! The donut was very crispy and chewy. Overall, this restaurant hit the spot when I needed some comfort food and to get over a cold. I would come again if I was in the area.

Came here to celebrate grandma's birthday! Kinda felt like a wedding with all the food we ordered. I've only come here for the lobster noodles in the past, and was excited to try a variety of dishes this time. It was mostly empty on a Sunday evening. There was another big party, but I mostly saw takeout orders. The service was attentive. Here's what we got:-peking duck buns: The skin was super crispy and some meat parts were dry. Loved the fluffiness of the buns, no sogginess here. I'd recommend asking for more buns, green onions, and possibly more sauce because there's a lot of meat. -fried rice with fish roe: This came with shrimp (and possibly scallop?). It was mild enough to accompany the flavorful proteins on our table, although you can eat it alone too. My grandma was a fan!-honey walnut shrimp: Battered and thinly-coated shrimp tossed in a mayo sauce that wasn't too thick although every part of the shrimps were coated. The shrimp meat was soft and chewy.-lobster garlic noodles: A classic lobster dish that had flavorful garlicky egg noodles tossed with garlicky-seasoned lobster. Had to use a fork to pull out the lobster meat. -ginger lobster: Tasty sauce with ginger and spiced coating the lobster meat. Really enjoyed this one!-fried lobster: Always love this dish; it's better to pull the meat out and then taste some of the breading outside of the lobster shell. -sweet and sour fried pork: Good balance of sweet and tartness coating the breaded pork. The thinness of the pork worked well, and we ate it with fried rice.-crispy fried pork: Tasted garlicky and I liked the jalapeños that came with it. Too salty to eat on its own so we ate this with fried rice too. Same thinness as the sweet and sour pork. -stir fried greens and shiitake mushrooms: This was the last thing I ate because I needed vegetables in me. I love bitter mustard greens. The mushrooms, however, packed such a flavorful punch that it stayed in my mouth, even after dessert. Just be aware of the strong mushroom flavor if you eat this! The meal ended with slices of oranges on ice! The oranges were quite sour but it's a decent palate cleanser. They also gave us plates and utensils for a cake we brought in. All in all a lovely dining experience for my family!

Had a last-minute family event and needed to come up with some interesting party trays past. I often order from New Sam Kee for party trays for work. But today, I wanted to get their popular items that isnt exactly on their Party Tray menu. I ordered from the Clover App for pick up. The order was ready on time.I got 3 orders of the lobster garlic noodles and seafood kingdom fried rice, then consolidated into a medium party tray for display. For your typical Chinese food, the lobster noodle is pretty good here. Nice and garlicky with a little heat from the jalapeños. The only minus is that it is pretty oily. The fried rice was new to my family; they've never seen such a simple, looking fried rice. Although simple, the mix of roe makes this more flavor than your typical fried rice. Instead of a few large pieces of scallop, I wished there would be small scallops in a bigger quantity so that more people can enjoy a little bit of it. Overall, these items have been a favorite and still are.

This place reminds me of a lot childhood places I've been too. The food is alright and the service was quite good when we went.The Chow Fun okay. My friend's order was quite salty and an tasted mainly like bell pepper. The dry one was alright and the one I order with curry was also okay. The fried rice was also rather salty. The seafood noodles were good. The fried tofu we also order had pretty good texture to it, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Then again it was rather salty. We also order this orange chicken now that was probably the best thing I've had there. I would get that again.It's worth a try

I don't know how this place only has 3.5 stars! It's soooo good! The lobster garlic noodles are my favorite and for $25 you can't beat that! Service 10/10! The sweet older lady who took my order even switched my plate mid meal because she saw it was filled with lobster shells! I live in the east bay but will definitely try to come back every time I'm on this side of town!
