  A dim sum lunch at 'Kam Ding' was held yesterday to honour Mom -- son and daughter's treat for "Mother's Day" -- and they did well
  
  The restaurant chosen for the event, was the son's choice, and because we knew it was a familiar and favourite spot of his, we (Mom, daughter, and I) pretty much let him do most of the ordering.  He scored well on selecting many of Mom's favourite dishes -- we chimed in a little with some of the other choices made.
  
  Service was prompt and timely, and always friendly, fun, and nicely-personal.  From our dining experience, I was most-impressed with how well the servers knew 'what' they were doing, and 'how' to do it.              
  
  What was ordered:
  
  - From the carts:  chive dumplings w/shrimp --deep fried bean curd wrapped tofu -- deep fried sesame balls -- deep fried meat dumplings -- spring rolls -- daikon cake -- steamed shiu mai -- beef balls -- scallop dumplings -- shrimp dumplings -- mango pudding
  
  - From kitchen directly:  bok choy -- deep fried squid w/pepper salt.
  
  Dishes looked quite familiar, and typical, preparations provided a few interesting and different textures, flavours, and tastes.  The simply-steamed dumplings (scallop, shrimp), were "melt-in-your-mouth" good, with light, rice wraps, fresh, not overcooked ingredients - yum!.  The chive dumplings, though pan-fried, much the same - wraps light, nice texture, ingredients very tasty.  Meat dumplings, spring rolls, and bean curd wraps, though tasty, were rather greasy.  Much-liked the sesame balls -- large, and full of flavour.  And the daikon cake was fine.  The bok choy, and squid preparations were as 'perfect' I as could ever wish when ordering -- rather simply-prepared, with no overwhelming sauces, neither overcooked, tender, flavourful, and tasty - a big hit at our table!  The mango desert 'hit-the-spot' after all those different tastes!
  
  Thanks to son, daughter, and 'Kam Ding', Mom's "Mother's Day" dim sum lunch dining experience was a big success!!

  This evening we arrived at the restaurant around 5.30 pm and we were the second table of patrons. The service was very quick and pleasant, we ordered the 2 regular dishes and they came pretty soon.  As soon as we dug into them, we were overwhelmed by the amount of MSG used. The beans were great, done right but way too much MSG. We told the waitress and she offered us some sweet red bean desert to combat the over salty MSG at the end of the meal. Would we go back? Not likely because if they use MSG indiscriminately, they really don't care much about the customers. This is generally the mentality of Chinese restaurants. Rather short sighted if you ask me.

  Real average quality when compared to nearby PROFESSIONAL chefs @WAH WING.
  
  We visited Kam Ding on  Monday when our 1st choice was shut for staff holiday.
  
  Clumsy combinations of inferior basic ingredients.
  Poorer cuts of meat e.g.
  Knife skills not so good.
  Servers not so personable or capable.
  Lacking product knowledge and "personality" being a few examples.
  
  It's okay.
  Value ok.
  Just not as good. Not even close.
  Maybe on a Monday, if we're desperate, might return.

  Had a craving for Har Gau ( shrimp dumplings) and this place did not disappoint! Casual, bright, friendly with a dim sum cart cruising by. What's not to like?

  My favourite dim sum spot in coquitlam. It is very reasonably priced and the aunties that work there are all very nice, got a little sass but most chinese aunties do. They have the carts that push around, and you order off the carts. Some menu items you have to order, such as rice rolls with shrimp. Their dimsum menu is not the most extensive but it always does the dimsum fix and my friends and I love coming here for $3.60 dimsum! Wouldnt call it the fanciest place so if its your first time just keep that in mind!
