Lam's Kitchen - Matthews

This is the best Chinese in CLT! We’ve been wanting to visit for a while and are so glad we finally did. Everything was delicious, hot and flavorful. A few things we really appreciated: takeout comes in plastic containers with secure lids. Sounds like this wouldn’t matter, but this kept the food super hot on the drive home and they are reusable! wide variety of dishes that are very authentic to what you may find in China. No more cheap, Americanized Chinese. After eating here, you’ll never go anywhere else. staff is very friendly and helpful with the menu even over the phone. this is the first restaurant that’s gotten our order 100% correct throughout this whole pandemic. So many other places forget items or don’t make it like you ask, but Lam’s got it all right! Thank you! the cheese wantons, dumplings and pepper steak are delicious!

Amazing Chinese and other styles. Pro tip: get 2orders of pan seared dumplings... You'll need them! Also order early.

Having grown up in Charlotte in the 90s, I never would have imagined where, returning home after living in NYC for 10+ years, we would find our favorite Chinese cooking right. here. in Matthews. My thanks and respect to the kitchen staff: they know what they are doing. Knock-your-socks-off quality and generous portions in every take-out order. My husband and I love this local gem.

Their food is very tasteful and the service is great. Wide range of options. Can be a little pricey especially for me when I have to add lo mein as a main dish because they don't offer it as a side. Overall, I would recommend Lam's Kitchen.

Really delicious food.... the Sichuan dumplings are pure insanity. All the other dishes were exceptional—really interesting flavors and spices. Not your typical Chinese restaurant menu. It is a small venue, so be prepared to wait at prime time. Living in uptown, this is a very far drive for me, but totally worth it. I will be back! Fantastic and authentic.
