Kam Wah

“A true neighborhood gem in the Jordaan. Kam Wah is a cozy, intimate spot away from the Chinatown crowds. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, thanks to the friendly service and personal touch. Perfect for a sit-down meal or quick takeout. Delicious, authentic food made with love—highly recommend.”

“I really don’t like writing bad reviews-honestly. They are so subjective. Again, many/most other reviews liked the food, and food taste is very subjective. The staff was very friendly. My comments are meant for those Americans like me who often have unrealistic expectations-but my wife, daughter and I all had the same response. But, that being said, this was NOT the flavor I was expecting. I ordered vegi fried rice with egg, no mushroom and tofu, sweet and sour chicken, two veggie spring rolls. First, all the food had chicken in it so…kind of missing the “veggie” part of the order. Second, the flavors were VERY mild to understate things, even the white rice had no flavor. The sweet and sour chicken had no veggies no pineapple (sweet) or onions (sour) it was just a load of lightly cooked chicken. The “veggie” spring rolls were enormous but as noted above-had chicken, so not veggie. There was no soy sauce. I asked to take a bottle from the table, we poured out several little bottles but the “soy” sauce was sweet not the flavor I was looking for either.”

“The food here was really good. We got the fried rice and Chinese noodles and they were very tasteful. Thank you for the great service!”
