This is one of the few Chinese restaurants that seem to be primarily concerned with catering to their Chinese clientele. And I respect that. In fact, the reason I ventured in to Ka Mei was on the recommendation of a Chinese friend... A very picky Chinese friend, at that.
Like other restaurants, Ka Mei offers both American-Chinese food and authentic dishes. I've opted for the latter and have not been disappointed. Their food seems lightly seasoned and notably fresh. You can taste the different elements. I admittedly tend to prefer stronger flavors, but I appreciate Ka Mei as a change of pace. And it's the only place I know of that serves dou miao (snow pea greens) when in season.
