Came here for their dim sum many times, however not sure was it because we arrived a bit late around 2pm (close at 3pm), or because it was during the weekday (some of the chefs are off?), some of their food wasn't the same compared to eating it on the weekend.We ordered our usual: Fried Noodle with Shredded Pork, Lau Sa Bun, Ha Kau (prawn dumplings), Siu Mai (meat dumplings), Deep fried Squid Cake and Fried Thin Beancurd Roll Cheung Fun.Fried Noodle with Shredded Pork: there wasn't much taste to it, the sauce should have been clear instead they added dark soy sauce to it. The noodles were crispy which was great.Lau Sa Bun: their fillings are made in-house. Unfortunately the one I took a pic of, the bin was thicker than the other 2, but their fillings are just perfect as usual. Definitely recommend trying this out or their Cream Egg Paste bun.Ha Kau and Siu Mai were perfect too.Deep fried Squid Cake, the flavour is spot on, always love to dip it in the sauce provided. However, unfortunately it wasn't too hot when it arrived.The fried Beancurd Roll Cheung Fun is always one of the best Cheung Fun dishes. The soft Cheung Fun outside with the crispy Beancurd Roll. However just like the other deep fried dish, the Beancurd was not crispy at all. Which kind of ruined the whole texture of the dish.I definitely recommend these dishes, but you must make sure that the timing is right when ordering i.e avoid ordering the deep fried dishes if you arrive 1 hour before their closing time. The dishes most likely have been sitting there for a while and are no longer crispy.There was still plenty of parking space when we arrived there and we didn't have to wait to be seated.

It’s one of the most authentic Cantonese dining experience for me in UK, it just looks like I was back in HK where I grew up! Food tastes just like home, price is good and service is as good as it should be. Highly recommend and the roast duck and roast pork is a must!

Most traditional Cantonese dim sum place across Southern UK. Really recommended!! Very traditional and good from the decor, to the taste, to the friendly managers and servers around. Staff with kind smiles.Come here for a taste of true dim sum! They’ve been running for over 25+ years.Best to come here after a call in case they are closing early for big day / wedding celebrations.Price is also very reasonable, ~20pp.

Previously I'd have given 5 stars as every other visit has been amazing but I've had to knock it down after tonight's visit.It was just me and a friend dining and there were other customers but being a Tuesday evening it wasn't packed.We ordered a starter and a main each, all ordered at the same time, my friend's starter came out first and she'd finished it before mine had even arrived (& not because she's a fast eater). The mains were similar, mine arrived first (I'd specified ho fun noodles several times but got standard ones, I didn't bother sending it back as it had taken so long to arrive and my meat dish would have gone cold waiting), my friend's noodles came out about 5 minutes later followed by her main a couple of minutes after that, not all together like with most restaurants.The food tasted OK, although there was very little black bean in my beef with black bean, it was more like beef in gravy.The service was very slow, it was virtually impossible to attract anyone's attention (we ended up standing up and getting ready to leave and pay at the till area before we received the bill) & the woman serving had a face that looked like she'd swallowed a wasp, she really gave us the impression that she didn't want to serve us at all.In addition service charge is automatically included at 10% regardless of how many people in the party and it's already more pricey than other similar restaurants (previously we'd happily pay the higher charge for the service and quality but after tonight I'm not so sure).

Food full with flavour. We had dinner is Kams Palace and our experience was very good. The exterior and interior look of the place is amazing. The staff are so nice. The food was very tasty and full of flavour the prices for the quality of food is very reasonable. We had the Kam’s special for two and the combo starter (see photo menu) was incredibly nice. We would definitely come again.

This is a place is to stay away from. Use to be really good but not now. The food was terrible and very expensive. The staff were appalling and extremely rude. We had a really long wait and this started from taking our order for drinks. The service charge was ridiculous and the whole experience was horrible. Choose somewhere else!!

Very expensive. Bang ordinary food and not good value. Service slow. High service charge. Would not visit again as there are much better options locally.

We visited the restaurant for a family birthday. The service was extremely poor and the staff were less than friendly. The food was definitely not memorable and extremely expensive for the amount and quality. Leaving the restaurant we all felt we had been ‘ripped off’ especially paying a £22 service. Charge. There are many restaurants and public houses in the area who serve good food at reasonable prices with friendly staff but Kams Palace is unfortunately not one of these.

I really like this restaurant: it's a no-nonsense kind of place which can get your menu options to the table in double quick time, and the food is of a very good standard. The menu choice is really good and it's worth considering for sure if in the area.Parking: Plenty of spaces

Always busy, go early to get a table. Delicious food.Vegetarian options: You can have noodles or rice vegetarian style plus many other dishes.Kid-friendliness: Lots of children are always there.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for wheelchairs.

The rudest manager I have ever come across. Staff were so embarrassed by the way he spoke to me one had his head in his hands. Vile man.

We hadn't been to Kam's Palace for four years due to health issues. We arrived for Sunday lunch at mid-day. The car park was almost full, downstairs was packed but we were warmly greeted and shown to a table upstairs. Despite being packed the service was friendly and timely with the Green tea arriving quickly soon followed by roast duck & noodles. The dim sum items kept arriving until we were satisfied. Good food & value for money.

A nice place for Cantonese Yan Cha. Good dim sum and BBQ Pork. Just a little bit far away from London.

The service was quick and we were seated very quickly no problems. The food was delicious and it had many option on the menu. Price for size was pretty average for Chinese store. I will defenetly return!
