The fine family running Kambie are terrific people and amazing chefs! My ex-wife and I had them cater a wedding dinner party for us. The food was out of this world. They even prepared the father's (chef's) personal family favourite.
I haven't lived in London for 6 years, but I ate there many, many times and the food was ALWAYS outstanding! I still dream about the Szechuan Beef Hot Pot as it is spicy and sizzling hot when you get it. The beef with ginger and green onion is also out of this world.
I am hoping to go to London in November for a conference and my very first food stop will be Kambie!
Please go and eat there. You will not be disappointed in the food!
The boss was from HongKong, they had a big restaurant there.
Some of the dishes maybe modified to Canadian Chinese food, but it is still very authentic.
You will definately regret if u never tried it.
This restaurant is terrible. We had a New Year Party in this place 2 years ago. Before the meal, they agreed to charge $20 per person for the dinner. But on the day of the dinner, they demand more $ because they hired someone to serve us. What's wrong with them? You hired someone then that's ur problem, why should I be responsible for your salary expense?
The food was all white because no soy was used, which is surprising given some of the other reviews. There was no spice or flavor to any of the dishes except the duck. The shrimp was served with tons of cooked celery, very strange. This was the worst Chinese food I've ever had because nothing had any spice or flavoring added, out of maybe 25+ Chinese restaurants I've been too. It was just simple stir fry. The chicken with oyster sauce was OK, but very bland. I definitely wont be giving it a second chance.
This has to be the most authentic Canton style resturant in London. The taste was just right as if I was eating a home cooked meal with my family in Toronto. And for those of you that know what I'm talking about, this place has good 'wok hay'.
The service is really good. The dinnerware aren't thrown at you like some other chinese resturants and you're not herd out the door if you only order one or two dishes.
Just a tip though, unless you're the kind of person that thinks 'sweet and sour' chicken balls is chinese food, stay away from their English set dinners at the back of their menu. Those items are never eaten as apart of a traditional chinese meal.
If you're going to to try REAL chinese food, pick from the chinese menu. The part that has chinese written on the left margin of the page with english descriptions on the right.
