Great Service
Super takeout!
Excellent service
Food is delicious
Our favorite Chinese spot (including my two little kiddos!)
People are nice. The food is great and it’s affordable. I highly recommend for take out and delivery
Egg foo young was excellent. Large portion and very tasty. Pork fried rice had good pork and onion. Very happy overall and best Chinese I’ve had on the UWS
Food is good and the people who work here is very kind. Prices are also reasonable.
My favorite hole in the wall Chinese take-out place. Always fresh and tastes great. This is not fancy food...it is your standard Chinese menu for these types of places. I have never been disappointed.
Reliable, tasty, affordable! Our go to takeout spot. Top faves are General Tso, Orange Beef, Garlic Eggplant and the nuggets are real good too!
Food time and service is good
Best Chinese takeout on the UWS. Pretty sure the reviewers giving it lower scores are getting the wrong one - there are 2 other New Kam Lai’s in the area. Quick service, great food, great prices.
The best food in the area, friendly staff, quick service, 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Where they can excellent Chinese food restaurant! Is very tasty and cooked to perfection no. The staff is very polite and patient! It's a regular on my list.
Take out spot. General Tso chicken was amazing. Best in the upper west
Consistently delicious food: fresh, high-quality, lots of veg!
I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and the food has never disappointed and remains affordable.
Go-to spot, always hits the spot
Delicious Chinese food from a no frills location, with decently low prices especially for the portion sizes. The beef is better than the General Tso’s Chicken. The chicken wings are ok, and a bit greasy
This soup looks like an expertly landscaped koi pond that I could stick my head in, never come up for air again and it be all for the best

I usually always go here on my lunch break and I get my food very fast they also remember my order that I usually always get and they're very friendly and respectful. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Chinese food.
My go to place in the neighborhood for healthy and reasonable food, great lunch specials and dinners too very very clean and THE BEST service for Crystal who should get a raise !!! GREAT value one of the best ....
I ordered 10 fried pork dumplings, and I couldn’t believe how cheap and test it was. I love it. I also ordered the House special fried rice (pork, chicken and seafood) really good. My first time ordering food from this place, and they got my business. I definitely will be back for another take out. Thank you guys,
Great food and great service especially for lunch
My mom's favorite spot on Upper West Side. She basically runs on their won ton Soup. Friendly people work here.
This Chinese takeout restaurant is a gem in the neighborhood. With its delicious food, friendly service, and reasonable prices, it’s a go-to spot for anyone looking for a satisfying meal. Highly recommended!
Long overdue, New Kam Lai is my absolute GO TO Chinese spot on basically a weekly basis for the past few years. They’re fast, friendly and food always hits the spot! If you live on the UWS, this should be your local comfort food spot.

Increased prices some time ago and lunch special now has half sized soup compared to previously.
What you could expect from that kind of restaurant. Pretty fair overall.
Was great
Good, cheap food with fast service. Definitely good food to price ratio! Would recommend, especially for take out.
This is my go-to take out Chinese place. No frills, but the basics are pretty good, and they can handle special requests like "add an egg to the fried rice" (for an upcharge, of course).
Roast Pork.......Was great Broccoli.....Was good Sauce......Was good Best part....My beautiful white rice was not A) Covered in oil from Sauce, B) Ruin by meat covering rice White Rice.......Perfect for Chop Sticks 6 people can eat comfortably..... Wood table and chairs... The front counter person did not greet me but was not rude Menu price $9.70 charged $11.00
Lunch special. Shrimp broccoli and vegetable fried rice. Tasted good but the rice was a little undercooked.

I'm hoping the owner reads this or at least people who like General Tso's cChicken or sesame chicken. I believe they have. I changed my rating because of the service and they do have some good items on the menu, but i usually order the same thing. I will try the chicken as you say and make sure to let you know when i order. Thank you for your reply. I support local small businesses. I want you to succeed, By making your GTC less fried, I believe you will sell a lot of it. I know i would order it every time as now i go to a different place for GTC. Better GTC = more money for you!

Food really varies drastically per dish. The good: - shrimp and vegetables which has big shrimp w a mix of fresh vegetables cooked just right at a good price. The bad: the beef is chewy chewy chewy, so much so it was inedible, and after going to the store to tell the store counter person, he refused to believe the meat was so tough, being that they "sell so much". Also the eggplant dish has a gooey sweet sauce that ruins the tasty eggplant, maybe you can order w a different sauce. Dumplings as mentioned, are overly inflated plump dough. It's mostly a take out restaurant w a few tables in front. Preparation is very quick.
I got the general tso’s chicken combo with an egg roll and the roast pork buns (unpictured). Everything was overall okay. The ratio of bun to pork was heavily screwed to buns in the roast pork buns. The general tso’s chicken I felt was overcooked, I feel like there wasn’t a lot of chicken with a lot of breading. The egg roll tasted really oily.
The chicken & Garlic sauce lunch special was ok the soup was bland.

I mean, the same price for a half chicken and a fried plantain ration? You're kidding me 😭

He pedido en varias ocasiones de este lugar, órdenes de delivery, y el hombre que toma la orden es terriblemente odioso, pero la comida okey, hoy ordené y por sorpresa la chica que contestó fue amable, pero la comida terrible, la sopa wanton, puro aceite, costillas resecas viejas, igual que el egg roll y el arroz sabor a quemado.
I can’t say I’m pleased with this Chinese take out restaurant. The egg drop soup is watery, they don’t use real chicken in the general tso, and compared to other Chinese places, the portions are much smaller.
I’ve ordered 5 times from here and they still put unnecessary stuff on my food and forgot my drinks twice already I asked for no veggies on my food and they still put it on my food not saying the food is bad but they don’t read out my orders correctly
Spend $60 worth a good you don’t get anything beverage fee.
Do not order from here this place gives u more oil in your food then what your car takes for a oil change discussed with they order I just got
Do NOT order. Hair in food. Ice cold.
they are very rude and disrespectful whoever works at night if you ask to repeat yourself he will say” DUH” and act like he didn’t say that then hangs up in your face VERY VERY RUDE !!!
Utterly horrible food, most dishes contain an astonishing and repellent amount of sugar. Sauces that congeal… Thjs review is for the shop at 85th and Amsterdam. However, if you specify that you want your singapore mei fun made with less oil, that is, dry, it’s fairly good. I can’t recommend ordering anything else, everything seems to contain something extremely inappropriate, like the wrong vegetables for the dish, and horrible tasting besides. The draw of this place is its low prices and that they use their own delivery people, so the food arrives astonishingly fast. Rice is dried out. Not for Asians or anyone with an appreciation of Chinese food. And that’s true even if you don’t expect much.
I entered my work building located nearby to find one of this restaurants delivery drivers demanding money extremely aggressively to someone right in the entrance. I was appalled at how rude the delivery biker was. Please do not do this again. Be nice and respectful please.
SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY, HAD EIGHT ORDERS AND I HAD TO KEEP ASKING FOR MORE CONDIMENTS. PAID EXTRA FOR ONIONS AND VEGGIES DIDN'T GET NOTHING EXTRA. I HAD A COMBINATION PLATTER AND DIDN'T GET MY EGG ROLL. I WILL NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT ANYMORE.
IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. THIS NASTY STORE CHARGES 10.00 FOR 6 CHICKEN WINGS 🙄. ROBBERY. WILL NEVER GO THERE FOR A "Quick Snack" EVER AGAIN. THEY MAKE UP THE PRICES. CHICKEN WAS NOT TASTY, JUST GREASY. SAVE YOUR MONEY ANDG TO POPEYES AND GET A $6.00 BIG BOX 3PCS OF DELICIOUS CHICKEN WITH TWO SIDES AND A BISCUIT.
The delivery driver spills my entire order and instead of bringing me a new order they just cleaned it up and brought the same order back. Plus the chicken is not well cooked and I never paid so much money for white rice. They don’t balance the portions, they give you more rice then meat. I’m done with this place
I don’t understand how my experience can be so different from the other reviews but honestly this might have been the worst Chinese I have ever had. Even Panda Express at the airport is better than this.
Never ever spending my money with this restaurant again. Extremely Rude staff and greasy food, not a recipe I desire.
On 5/19 at 3:40pm, I received my order for Lomain and Gen Tsao's Chicken. Both were overcooked, chicken was like a cracker, and Lomain had heavy burnt flavor. When I called, they told me "ok" and that they never received a complaint about their chicken. There are plenty of other Chinese places to order from
I just ordered my food from here I order chicken wings well done like ive always ordered from each and every Chinese restaurant I’ve been to, and the manage/owner whom seem to have it out for black people jumped at my throat telling me this is how I ordered it, that he can only give me two wings and how he will not pay for me to get another order and started preaching the food handlers regulations. All I simply stated to him is I see my error in order well done but the wings was so small and over cooked there , was no meat on any of the wings. All I took was is one of the smaller bites out of the drum, he informed me that he can’t do anything about it and I expressed to him that this was my first time in 30 years that I ordered wings that looked burn to the point no meat was on the wing n my first time at this location instead of being sympathetic with me he brushed me of rudely and stated to not return as if I would the other it’s part is that he was so rude that another customer intervened and expressed that was in the wrong that he should at least be understanding that especially being a first time customer to this location he also had 3 other locations on 97th and 103, please if you want better services please some where else that they value your opinion as a paying customer
Worst wonton soup i ever had In my life
HORRIBLE’ I work in the area and ordered 3 orders for me and coworkers ‘ we didn’t receive napkins in the bag paid almost $40 and didn’t receive a soda with our meals, or even 1 free soda which most provide once you spend a certain amount and I gave him $7 tip. WILL NEVER ODER FROM HERE AGAIN. THEY DIDNT EVEN ACCOMMODATE US BY PROVIDING EGG ROLLS OR SODAS DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALLL SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.
