Kam Tou Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Richmond

Friday afternoon at 1 p.m., there was a long line formed. The four of us waited about half an hour before a table became available.

We heard someone had booked a table for 1 p.m. It was 1:07 p.m. when they got their table. 👍 Reservations seem to work. Nice. Next time, we will reserve a table.

The prices are average.

The food variety is standard. The naming convention may be different, but it basically offers the same dishes as all other dim sum restaurants.

The food tastes standard. The $10.30 "Beef Ribs with Garlic 金蒜牛仔骨" was the most outstanding. Although it had no meat taste, the sauce was so delicious nontheless. Highly recommended.

The food amount seems slightly more than average. The $9.70 "Sparerib with Taro 香芋蒸排骨" was filled to the brim, which is unusually more than its competitors offer. The taste was not bad either.

The $9.70 "Steamed Chicken Feet with Spicy Sauce 金醬蒸鳳爪" was very chewy because they did not stew it long enough. It was probably the toughest chicken feet (鳳爪) I have ever eaten. I do not recommend it.

The $17.80 "Shredded Chicken with Jellyfish 海蜇手撕雞" was quite tasty. The jellyfish was very tender. However, they should rename this dish to "Shredded Chicken Skin with Jellyfish 海蜇手撕雞皮" because 90% of the chicken meat is chicken skin or meat attached to chicken skin. I love this dish, but I will surely die a horrible death if I eat it regularly. 🤣😅

Fried Rice or Fried Noodles are mostly in the $25 to $31 range. None of our family was willing to order because we are used to eating at $17 each. We can control ourselves. 🤭

20% off everyday including weekends and holidays if ordered between 9 and 11am. Anytime after 11am is 10%...

Edit: I've been here a handful of times more since my last review. I'm very pleased with the staff recently. They were nice and courteous. Dim sum dishes were handled carefully. The rude woman was only there once more and I haven't seen her since (not that I actively look for her). Food was good-- always piping hot. The only thing I would say is that this restaurant is loud, but this isn't the fault of the owners. I'll be returning for more meals!

Food was not bad but employees need to improve. One of them looked like he just strolled in from a nap. Didnt wear any type of uniform and kept spilling sauce on the table (and splatted some on us) when taking away dim sum baskets because he was in a rush and not paying attention. The middle age woman who takes you to your table has the worst attitude ever. She was so unfriendly and was giving snarky responses to the table behind us. When I was ready to leave, I checked to make sure I didn't leave any belongings and she gave me an extremely impatient and nasty look. I would come back because the food isn't bad, but the attitude of the employees is why people don't tip (or...

Went several times for dim sum. Prices very reasonable and decent portions. Last week there, we ordered curry cuttlefish, bean curd wrap in abalone sauce, chicken feet, prawn dumplings, beef rice roll, pork and peanut dumplings. Most were lighter in flavour especially the cuttlefish, bean curd and chicken feet. The sauces used in each one tend to be on the watery side. Pork and peanut dumplings skin was very thick for me but good for people who like the doughy texture. Beef rice roll was alright but lacked flavour. Food-wise was OK but didn't like the service of one staff. We paid and were about to leave but still wanted to finish a cup of tea first. This individual started to change our table cloth and placed my tea cup back on the table with his bare hands after cleaning other tables. Very unsanitary and I certainly wouldn't drink from my tea cup after that. He then said we can stay longer to finish our tea. I thought that was quite rude too and felt like he was trying to push us out. It would have only taken us another minute or two to finish a cup of tea. I am sure they could...
