Went for a meal last weekend with my friends. Was seated quickly without a reservation even though the restaurant was quite full already. Staff were very helpful with the menu even though I knew what I wanted. We had the Peking duck which was really very good indeed and I even tried the prawns with Kung Po Sauce which was very spicy but excellent considering I rarely eat prawns.Also had the sizzling beef with black pepper sauce and some Chinese vegetables - all absolutely yummy. Strongly recommend this restaurant as it is better than most in the area.
Not knowing the area too well I booked a table at Kam Tong on the recommendation of a friend. With the friend being Hong Kong Chinese I thought they would know their stuff - they did! Ten of us had a great evening with top quality food, really excellent service and a surprisingly well selected wine list for a Chinese restaurant. I would thoroughly recommend Kam Tong if you're in the area.
Great meal here last night with friends. Bustling atmosphere with locals and tourists alike. Were recommended the prawns in mustard special and they were amazing - really juicy and full of flavour. Duck with pancakes and old favourite but delicious. Will be back soon.
The restaurant has just re-opened under new management and I went in for lunch with a couple of friends out of curiosity having been customer on and off for a few years.
First impressions, the decor is much nicer than before - open and bright and it looks a little bigger than before, perhaps because of the high ceilings. The huge windows at the front certainly help. It looks a lot more chic than before.
We were quickly seated and ordered roast duck (really tender and tasty) along with a selection of dim sum and I have to say that it's some of the best I have had in London (and believe me, I've had a lot!), especially the barbecued pork puff - sweet, sticky with flaky pastry - absolute yum! The steamed prawn dumplings were succulent and the Shanghai pork buns had lovely thin skins - the sign of a good bun. The pork and prawn dumplings (siu mai) I would also recommend.
Their roasted crispy belly pork was really good too, perfectly crispy skin and not too fatty. We rounded off the meal with some pea shoots which, although coming to the end of their season, were well prepared and still tender.
Service was friendly if a little awkward but I put that down to having just opened and staff are still getting used to the set up. I will definitely start coming more regularly.
Bad experience here. On their menu it says "set menu, at least for 2". The price is about 19p (don't remember exactly). Then I ordered a set menu for my girl friend and me. But at the end they charged me over 40 pounds for 2 sets (including 10% surcharge). Actually they just served 1 set! Can they just simply say "this set is only for 1 person"? They are trying to misleading. The restaurant owner has no integrity at all! I ate in another restaurant around Baker street a few days before. I had 1 soup, 1 pot tea, 3 dishes and 1 fried rice just with 43 pounds around. But the environment and food quality were much better than Kam Tong. Kam Tong is a cheater.
Came here earlier in the month, we are regular diners. We've be here before on several occassions and we had a great time. The service was slick as aways and it was nice to see a change in the menu. We saw freshly cooked crispy duck, fresh dim sum, fresh fish on the menu and wanted to try it all! We settled for a set menu with a few additions, will definitely be back next month.
I’ve been coming to Kam Tong for almost ten years now and it’s still excellent. The crispy duck is just amazing and I can’t fault anything I’ve ever eaten there. The only thing I don’t like is the service – usually it’s very good, but Kam Tong change their staff a lot, so it can be changeable. Otherwise excellent though.
