What That Guy doesn't like about Kam Yin:
I ordered the number one meal at this restaurant and was impressed with the delicious egg roll, which had a satisfying crunch. The sweet and sour pork was also crunchy, but was lacking a bit in flavor. The brown rice was fluffy and delicious. Overall, I would recommend this place for a budget-friendly meal. However, I did get sick two hours after eating there. View all feedback. What Holly Hatch likes about Kam Yin:
Having lived in Waterloo my whole life, I can confidently say that Kam Yin is the best Chinese restaurant in the area. They also have affordable lunch options available. View all feedback.
