    Not a Restaurant…. I agree with this. Dimsum quality is still good. Grab it and eat it at home. There is no longer anywhere to sit and no fresh dimsum steaming displayed, which for me was a let down.

    Disappearing chinatown. This place is not what it used to be and is not even a ghost of its former self. I used to love the place and the menu items were delicious, fresh, hot, and very modestly priced.Since they took away the menu and you just buy dim sum at the counter and the frozen dim sum sales, I have found the place turns off my appettie. The staff behind the order counter are always eating while they serve you, and the food just sits in warmers all day long so tends to be globby.Also, since it is self serve and you are eating off of Styrofoam plates that you later throw into the over heaping garbage bin, and the staff are busy eating behind the cash, the tables and booth seats are often covered in food which makes it awkward to sit down anywhere.I wish the best for this family that had a good thing going and is seeing its business slip away into oblivion like the rest of Chinatown.

    Yummy Dimsum!. I see many of ppl like this place and i have to wonder really is it worth the wait? Yes it is! The food that came out always fresh and fast. For the food it is always a pleasure to eat here and cheap. Service is wonderful and very friendly eventhough it is dimsum but they always refill your hot sauce and tea promptly which I really like!

    Small dining area and food eaten in styrofoam plates. Very casual, folding table type dining but if you just want a quick lunch and grab a few bags of frozen dimsums then this is the place to go! Food is really good

    Great Dim Sum. Tasty Dim Sum, lunch for 2 is under $10. Plan on eating on styrofoam and plastic forks. They have a small seating area, if you are looking for a good Dim Sum selection, this is a good stop. They close at 5 pm

    Dim sum yum yum. This place is not at all like how it is represented online. It seems to be primarily a place to buy frozen dim sum, though they do serve fresh. The selection is nothing like what is listed online, though still decent. The shrimp dumplings were pretty good, as were the shrimp sticky rice dumplings. The pork balls were delicious, but the pork and veggie dumplings tasted mildly fishy. The bbq pork steamed bun, while tasty, had way too much bun. The mango pudding, although tasty, had the texture of rubber. Also, be prepared to feel out of place if you are not Chinese, and we were cut in line multiple times by the neighborhood’s more authentic residents. Overall, however, pretty good dim sum for a very good price. Note: they do not take credit cards as stated online.

    Dimsum till 5. **edit:Dim Sum restaurant is no longer. The family has moved their frozen dimsum business into the space. However, their instant steamer foods (chicken and mushroom rice, har gow, siu mai and chicken feet) are still available as are a few hot things like soup and congee.RIP Kam Wai restaurant.—hole in the wall. solid steamed dimsum items. no cart service.Tea is medicinal tasting but grows on you.I’m nostalgic for the plastic tablecovers (as in they clear your bowls, remove the sheet and voila! another plastic sheet for the next set of diners).the male server is very sweet and is willing to check with the kitchen about things like cornstarch and flour.har gow an siu mai are delish. shrimp rice rolls are thick on the riceroll so the texture was off but generous with the shrimp. steamed spongecake is worth it. They have some good looking noodle dishes too. Quickly becoming a regular haunt for this budget-conscious girl.
