Their food smacks!

The Peking Duck was awesome

Great food for the money

Very good food!!

awesome sesame chicken

Love, love, love!

So delicious food and great service. Absolutely recommended this place.

Had the roast duck noodle soup. Super delicious. Cash only and worth every penny

As a abc who cant read chinese, I asked them about their special menu. I also got soup with meal, as long as you are cantonese speaking you are treated as one of them. this restaurant seems to be a cantonese regular. You heard a lot of cantonese

had the char siu yau gaai faan, hits the spot after going through ny trip without Asian fare! Big portions too

Really cheap, good food

Most excellent service and Chinese food. Like why would you go anywhere else?

Very much a hole in the wall place but excellent food with very affordable price! Try lotus root stuffed with minced pork!

Roast pork over rice for $8? And it’s good quality

The store's good to eat noodles, the soup is very fragrant! Service is great!

The food is very authentic and good. People are nice and easygoing.

Great Hong Kong local 燒味 experience, hot tea on cold day, quick service, broccoli and beef slice stir fry was on point with soft onion, very homey and cosy for the belly. Highly recommended, don't let the rating fool you 😀

THE BEST ROASTED DUCK I'VE EVER TRIED!

I just had amazing roast duck noodle soup with my friends there! Authentic food and good price!

This place has the best roast meat! I've tried quite a few places, and their meat is juicy and fresh. The staff here are also extremely nice.

The food here is good! Eat here!

They have the best house special fried rice$15.....nice price ..free tea 🍵....very recommended 👌

Authentic hole in the wall Cantonese restaurant. BBQ meats and lunch specials served everyday for under $10. Served with hot tea.

Some of the best food I ever had thake that back it's was the best tasting asian food I ever tasted not to mention the hospitality best dining experience as well I highly recommend this place 👌 you won't be disappointed

Great food! Great amount for the price. Great price for a whole meal. Charging stations for electronics are a plus!

My experience here wasn’t bad. I read the reviews and this looks like a place that must be skipped. But I think they made some great food for me and it was fresh. They did take like 15 minutes to make it but I really liked it. I liked their fried rice, it’s probably the best I have ever had. Tips: they don’t take cards nor do they speak english. I just grabbed a menu and pointed out the things I wanted. Would recommend their fried rice 👌🏼 Btw, I got my stuff to go and it was still hot after almost two hours of being packed. I will be going again.

This is a great hole in the wall restaurant!! Each dish I have tried is the bomb so far. Especially the Pork Chop Peking Style. It is a must try. Great food and good price. When in Chinatown, give it a try.

Super friendly English speaking staff and awesome food. My family and I have been getting roast pork and duck from here for years and it never disappoints! The roast duck is wonderfully tender and fatty with delicious skin. I always get it with some ginger and soy sauce. Pro tip: order with rice during the lunch special for a perfect meal on a budget. The same can be said about the roast pork which has the crispiest skin I’ve had from Chinatown. Ming Kee Kitchen is a gem amongst the many other restaurants in Chinatown. Come here if you want delicious and affordable duck and pork to take home or dine in. Don’t forget dessert with the many bakeries and boba shops nearby!

As Singaporeans we went back to back in 2 days for good value for money Chinese Food.

This place really is the bomb good prices and lots of flavor, super underrated

Ok... walking through Chinatown. Your girl wants wonton soup. And you find this shop. GO. DO IT. Combo duck and pig (see pic). Wonton soup. Amazing. Fried rice. Thumbs up.

Got the pork, mustard green, egg soup. $10 and they give you tea too! Really good if you're not eating gluten (not celiac safe)

Great hole in the wall restaurant with authentic Chinese food! Not sure what the others are expecting for the price in terms of atmosphere and decor but the food was fire! Cash only but savings are passed onto us

You cannot come here and expect Michelin style service. This is a old school local restaurant in Chinatown and is a good spot for a quick lunch or affordable dinner. I am a millennial but I frequent this restaurant because it is important to me to keep these local restaurants open for the benefit of the community. Their lunch specials are $8.50 everyday and there is a huge selection of dishes you can choose from. You can get walnut shrimp for dinner for around $20 whereas every other restaurant in the neighborhood charges $30 now.

No frills, hole in the wall, authentic as authentic you can get Cantonese food. This is the place you want great homey meals minus the michellin appearance and michellin price

色，香，味齐全，格价合理，服务好。

It's perfectly fine, but the roast duck is a bit salty.

Food is authentic Chinese good food.The prices are good 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I couldn't believe!!! So good and affordable 👌

Great value on tasty food…

Price are reasonable, tasty

The duck and the roasted pork was to die for

每日全天堂食与外带指定餐只需要$7,相比加州唐餐是绝对超值...另外有烧腊出售,结账只收现金

经常来这里买烧鸭，还不错，价格合理

Food is good. Price reasonable. Service is good. Small but comfortable. Lunch specials are very good.

Rice with crispy pork and have some of cabbage on side is good to try. They’re accepted cash only!

Great little spot to grab Chinese food on the run in China Town NYC. Recommending the steamed 🥟 dumplings and the duck 🦆 noodle soup 🍜 the broth can bring the dead to life it’s so amazing!!!

Cash only. It’s a no frills restaurant in Chinatown. It’s one of my go to restaurants in Chinatown for take out. I either get their lunch specials, chow fun or roast pork.

Ming Kee Kitchen is a casual old school Chinatown restaurant. interior is well-maintained, but maintains a gritty feel. roast meats (pork belly, duck, roast pig, etc) over rice are handled at the order counter where the meats are on display. beyond the order counter is a bunch of tables for in-restaurant dining. it’s very much a value casual restaurant when you’re in the mood for familiar Chinese dishes. was in the mood for veggies and ordered the eggplant in garlic sauce over rice for takeout. my food took a little bit of time to make but i didn’t mind the wait as it was worth the wait. the food was piping hot. serving was ample—you’ll definitely have leftovers. the eggplant was sautéed and seasoned well. the rice soaked up the sauces. savory and tasty meatless comfort food. my expectations weren’t high when i ordered but i was impressed by the quality and value of this dish. eggplant in garlic sauce over rice, $7 + tip. staff were nice and seemed genuinely. helpful with other customers. cash only and possibly zelle/venmo.

味道一般！菜单丰富

食物不差,環境比較舊,但整體都可以接受

Staff rushed you out and ran out of beef stew. Decided to throw in roast pork to replace beef. Really unprofessional

We went with a big spective on the food. We probably didn't order the best option. The dumplings probably are not their strongest dish. But there was a big crowd of people eating and there food looks fantastic. We will be back.

Walked into Ming Kee kitchen today accidentally with starving belly when landed hours late in NYC. A hot pot of welcome tea right after seating, thankful in a cold and damp day! The noodle soup with shredded duck meat is typical Cantonese flavor, and the salty fish pellets sauted chicken is authentic. The diced barbecue pork fried rice is a disappointment, felt like soy sauce over-poured, and over-fried smell. Well, felt this is a place for most of work bees to get a homemade dishes quickly regularly with a very fair price in NYC, very decent owner. I was commenting it's even less expensive than the similar dish in Dallas nowadays (Chinese restaurants in Dallas generally are crazily over priced without significant quality upgrade). Found an interesting thing, a white pipe standing next to the wood wall in the restaurant. Guess what the function is?😁

I had the Sauteed Eggplant with garlic sauce, because one of reviews had written that it was good, it was not for my taste. I also had the Egg noodle soup with wonton and roasted duck, the wonton is average at best, but the duck was good. I had a big appetite since this is my brunch. Their prices for the food are cheaper than a regular chinese resto in the DMV area, cash only basis, you often get what you pay for, a classic adage.

I was scammed out of my half Peking duck. I had take away and only realized that I got 2 legs and skin ..disappointed

Super bland. I expected more authentic but ended up having to add hoisin sauce when i got home

The food was great the service abominable

I ordered a lunch special diced chicken with pepper and peanuts tonight. When I picked up my order, I asked the male cashier if the diced chicken with pepper was too spicy. (If it was too spicy, then I wanted to order extra food.) The male cashier answered my question with attitude. He said, "No, not too spicy. But I don't have time to explain it to you. If I explain it to you with details, I don't have time to get off from work." Come on!!! I didn't ask him to explain anything to me. My question was a simple and closed question. The answer is only "yes" or "no". With this bad service, I didn't want to order anything else. I don't think he is the boss. I used to often buy food from this place. The boss was nicer. Please train your staff to have better customer service. Chinatown has a lot of restaurants. Customers have a lot of choices.

I don’t recommend this place if you are looking to eat a freshly cooked meal. I ordered a dish with pork & onions over rice and by far it was the worst I’ve ever had. I ordered the dish and not even 5 minutes had passed and the waiter served it to me. The rice was soaked in a sauce which was way to oily. Also the pork chop was mostly all fat no matter where I took a bite. To let you know I’m also Asian so I’ve had a fair share of Chinese food. Lastly, during my meal the waiter put the bill on my table while I haven’t even finished my meal yet. The service was alright but other than that I don’t recommend this place to anyone.

I dont know the comments in this is everybody opinion but like you know the food is good I mean they give like a big plate of rice I mean a pork fried rice that keeps you full only thing is theyres a lady that works in the front that has like an attitude but they serve tea

Concerning hygiene practices: bugs flying around and i watched the waitress serve me rice with the same hands she just handled cash for take out. Also, really struggled to chew the pepper short rib — whatever it is, it definitely was not quality meat.

The plates were dirty and the duck had little meat, mostly bones. They also demanded a tip dispite the terrible customer service. Would not return or recommend.

Worst place ever

April 2025 - This review is a warning for anyone visiting Chinatown. The "CASH ONLY" policy is rampant, but what is worse is the shady behavior regarding change. I was intentionally short-changed here. Ming Kee Kitchen Inc on Grand Street needs to be watched closely. They are experts at identifying customers who aren't paying attention or tourists who won't argue over a few dollars. Don't let them take advantage of you. Count your change immediately at the counter before you walk away, or better yet, avoid these places that treat customers with such dishonesty. I have noticed similar tactics at Sun Sai Gai on Canal street as well.

第一次买了份烤鸭 吃了急性肠胃炎上吐下泻的一般都是十一点左右去买饭上班吃，放到十二点左右吃就感觉这个肉不新鲜放隔夜了，隔了一周今天又去买了份火肉饭，吃完不久头重脚轻的，脸色苍白头晕，胃很不舒服去吐了才好一点点 真的感觉这家的东西卫生有点怀疑

滑蛋牛肉饭巨难吃，千万不要点

听同事说姜葱双龙好吃 都是明哥 买的鲜活龙虾做 今天特意去买 50美金 一份 回家吃好咸 肉发硬 感觉死死龙虾做的 可能我不是广东人 讲国语 就被坑了 这家只适合讲粤语的去(⊙o⊙)

Worst restaurant in Chinatown It’s mandatory to tip and their waiter offers us to washing dishes instead of giving a tips

This restaurant is a place you won't want to go back to. The service is bad and the food is terrible.

Will give zero star if I could. Roast Duck is stone cold. When asked, they heat it up in the microwave. Black Pepper Beef Rib is RAW and the meat is spoiled. Server is rude and slow. They have the guts to ask for tips. They don’t deserve any :) Please avoid.

We reserved two ducks for Thanksgiving and paid money a week ahead of time, when we went to picked up ducks, they sold our ducks to other customers. Even though they refunded our money, but that is very bad. They ruined our Thanksgiving dinner.

I ordered duck BBQ here and I can still see the feather on the skin which is disgusting. And the employees are super impolite, mean and rude when I asked them to replace the meat with feather. This place is toxic and please don’t go there. 态度超级差.

We were asking for the seats. They ignored us I think they provide service for only Chinese ppl.

They are rude :( The food has no taste and the price is expensive. It's not worth it that it's expensive and tastes bad. As well as being rude to customers.

Will not be returning due to the RUDE and RACIAL woman behind the counter. Told me to wait in line and allowed all the other Chinese people to order before me… then proceeded to bad talk me after I told her I don’t want the duck, just an order pork. Got my order, and I kindly asked her for another sauce (only gave me 1 for a whole 2lb of pork). To which she told me no, get out. Get out. She also short me on my change, so that’s the cherry on top. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE RACIAL TO NON ASIANS CANT EVEN GIVE PROPER CHANGE BACK.

visited this restaurant recently with my coworkers, and unfortunately, it was not a good experience. The first couple of bites were okay, but as we kept eating, the taste started to change and reminded us of the unpleasant smell you’d encounter at a live poultry market. It was hard to enjoy the meal after that. To make matters worse, my coworker and I both ended up with stomach problems soon after eating here. We even had to call out of work the next day because of it. This was my second time eating here, and the first visit was perfectly fine, so I’m not sure what went wrong this time. I’m willing to believe this was just a fluke, but once I get stomach issues from a place, that’s a red flag I can’t ignore. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

I wouldn't recommend this place, especially for groups and people that don’t speak Mandarin nor Cantonese. My friends and I waited 15 minutes without being given a menu, so we had to go get one ourselves. Despite speaking Chinese, other customers who arrived after us were treated with more care. The server was rude, slamming the food on our table with an angry expression. We ordered roasted pork, but were given char siu instead. When we pointed it out, they insisted char siu was the same. The food was oily, tasted like frozen meat, and the duck smelled bad. We won't be coming back ever again.
