Lam's Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Bakersfield

I've been coming here since I moved to Bakersfield in 1988. The lunch specials were only $1.99 back then. Today, they are $11.00 and change plus tax. The food remains delicious to this very day. My ultimate favorite is chicken fried rice because they make it so good. Always plenty of chicken & egg & veggies. Plus the price is very reasonable. For example, a smaller plate of chicken fried rice at Myoshi costs you $18. At lams, it's cheaper, and you get more rice. Their prices are very reasonable, and my family and I drive from the Rosedale & Allen road area JUST to come eat here. The menu is very good and offers you a huge variety of food to eat. My mom & dad are in their 70s and won't go anywhere else for their favorite menu items here. From Hot tea that's delicious to crispy noodles with hot mustard or sweet & sour sauce to dip them in while we wait for our food is one of our favorites as well. Their egg flower soup is unique and tasty. I enjoy sweet & sour chicken that's extra crispy while my mom enjoys broccoli beef. We can't thank the owners & staff enough for the 35 plus years they have been serving us. I've known you guys a long time. Your very wonderful people, and always friendly whenever we come to eat there. Just amazing food & service. Once a Scotsmen.. always a Scotsmen. So if you're ever in their neighborhood, you should DEFINITELY stop in for a meal cause you won't regret it. Don't forget to take home any leftovers so you can eat it...

What has happened to the 'GREAT AUTHENTIC CHINESE CUISINE' which restaurant is famous for in this city??? Just ordered a 'take out' of all in all $80, got home and was devastated, it was horrible! The previous time we ordered was before we moved to The Hill which is closer, we drove from SW side of town & at that time the order was at least 4 stars. I ordered the Peking Duck which is a item rarely ordered as is expensive, opened the container and it look like that poor bird was 'hacked' to death, its supposed to be crispy outside (which it was) but juicy meat inside, NOT! Dry as the Mojave Desert, although my pup liked her $15 half duck! Sorry to be so vivid on describing but i remain really upset, will not be ordering again! DID U CHANGE...

The only reason I awarded 3 stars was the female order taker and the fast contactless delivery. The food was not that tasty. I was surprised! I had last eaten here 20 years ago.

I ordered the Family dinner B for 4 and the lemon sauce chicken. I wasn't told soup doesn't come with delivery. Every other Chines take out has soup so ...? I was only told after I called. That guy? Not as nice.

90 bucks down the drain in my book. I specifically ordered from them to support Asian business in this time of racism toward them. I tipped 20%.

Live and learn....
