Reviews for New Sam Kee Restaurant in San Jose, CA
The kingdom seafood fried rice is a must have
Phoned in order for 2022 Mother's day. Luckily I ordered early enough for 11 am pick up. When I shown up to pick up, it was a... mad house in the line behind me and the phone was ringing off the hooks. They were so busy that they couldn't pick up the phoneas well. Decent selections of seafood entree and fair prices. Overall, a good neighborhood Chinese restaurant Read more
2nd visit, Bug/Worm in veggie dish -1 star. 3rd visit, wrong item and too long wait time pass pick up ETA, -1 star. The quality... of the ingredients are good, especially the lobster feel very fresh. The price is also good, not too high for what you getnowadays. However, the flavor need some improvement, the lobster itself seems to be the only thing with enough noticeableflavor, while the noodle and clam we got are kind of lack of flavor, feel really plain.

This was our first time back after 7 years just because we don't really eat out in this area. This is really the best bang for... your buck to share so many dishes among a group of friends and family. I ordered the Mongolian beef entree cause that's normallya dish I love to order at restaurants. My friends hadn't tried it before and and loved it. We ordered the lobster garlicnoodles, which is a must have, and their signature fried rice. Both were hella delicious. Everything we ordered was good: basilclams, egg drop soup, salt and pepper spare ribs, and wonton noodle soup. We also didn't have to wait on a Friday night at 7pmwhich was a plus. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot to eat for a big group. Read more

And my soup had no MSG, I knew this because after eating it, I did nothave a headache lol Great food and good customer service. ???? Read more
Not the first time order foods here. Decent prices for lobsters. Lobster garlic noodle was good but could use a bit more flavor.
The quality of the chicken is terrible in the boiled ginger chicken - was rubbery, over cooked, and looked very unappetizing.... And the ginger sauce was no more than an ounce of vinegar water.. They include ground bones in the lettuce wraps and made itdifficult to chew. I'm giving a star for the chow mein, but the meat was tasteless. Would not recommend. Read more
I only had the Lobster Garlic Noodle, which was good. It's battered fried with dry noodle, vs their Lobster Noodles, is not... fried and with wet noodle. However, when our teapot needed refill and we put the pot on the outside of the table with the lidoff, the universal signal of needing a refill of tea, they did not come fill it, and I saw a couple of them passing by the tableand didn't take care of it. I have my back to the people walking so I missed them till they pasted me heading back into thekitchen. After about 10 mins of waiting, I had to call them to have it filled. Read more
