This is a small Chinese restaurant located on Mountain Rd. The specialize in Szechwan style food. It is easily over looked by people passing though because of the shear volume of restaurants on Mountain Rd. This place provides a dimly lit, cozy, relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Its a pleasure to dine at Hose of Lam. They can be very busy at times, particularly for their noon hour buffet. The buffet is the smallest I have seen but rest assured, what they lack in size they make up for in excellence of quality.The service here is excellent. you are always seated quickly and the waitress attends to your need throughout your stay.The order are taken and prepared promptly
Though I enjoy the buffet I am writing this review on a Szechwan chicken dish that I ordered late one evening. I believe it was hot orange chicken, the exact name escapes me. This dish was amazing. Everything on the plate tasted great. Even the rice has its own unique flavour which makes it stand out from rice served at other Chinese restaurants. The chicken was lightly battered and smothered in the orange sauce. Thought it was hot orange chicken the spices where not over used. There was some heat but not enough to make your eyes water and cause uncontrollable sweats. No one wants that experience when they go out for supper.The price range on their menu varies greatly depending on what you order. As with most Chinese Restaurants they provide some "combination" plates, all of which are excellent. They are around the $10 range. The more traditional Chinese/Szechwan dishes range from approximately $12- $20 and are well worth the price.Tip: I am not certain but I am very confident that this restaurant DOES NOT USE MSG. There are some Chinese places that I now avoid due to the heavy use of MSG. For my self and many people MSG can cause some un desired after effect. The most mild being an unquenchable thirst.

This is a favorite of mine and my husband's. Best chinese food in Moncton, by far! The first thing you notice when you come in and are seated, is the beautiful wooden beam ceiling and the many authentic chinese paintings. The restaurant is always busy, but it still feels cozy and intimate. They also have take-out which is constantly busy. Thankfully they have ample parking! My husband and I just had to go last night. It is consistantly good food and you can tell they use fresh, not frozen, food. Each dish has its own distinct flavor. They have a med. sized menu with great variety. Service is always promt and polite. Their soups are a real favorite of mine. The House soup is amazing!! It is enough for two people. They bring a large communal bowl and they serve you your first bowl from it. Have I mentioned how great the service is? Then they leave the rest for you to serve yourself. Mmm Mmm Mmm... Last evening my husband had No.B (Egg roll, Chicken rolls, Beef with chinese veggies, chicken fried rice) and he had it gone in no time flat! He loved it! I had the Szechuan platter (mild, of course) and it was amazing! It had an egg roll, chicken szechuan, cantonese pork, and chicken fried rice. Very ample sized servings and each had its own independant flavor. Simply, great. I have never had anything there that I didn't love. I honestly can not think of any cons other than the fact that I wish I didn't have to travel to the other side of the city to get it! lol!
