Went there for dinner and they had a Mother's Day's special for 4 people included white rice, beef broccoli with cake noodles, steamed fish, sweet sour cabbage with beef, cold Ginger chicken, shrimp with walnut, crab & scallop soup and crispy Gau gee. $108.00 for 4 person, so we ordered 2 orders with 9 of us. There was a little left over some cold ginger chicken and some noodles and very little sweet sour cabbage with beef. The crab & scallop soup was very good and tasty and it came out nice and hot. The beef broccoli and cake noodles were okay not much flavor and the noodles were crispy on the outside but thick and chew in the middle. The sweet sour cabbage with beef was okay . The walnut shrimp was very good the shrimp was good size and the sauce didn't dominate the flavor of the light crispy shrimp batter. The steam fish didn't have the flavor of the ginger garlic with soy sauce it lacked the flavor, it was more like steamed fish very bland. The Gau gee came out hot and crispy which was good with the chili & shoyu sauce. They are now under new ownership and the cooks are separate from the front. Restrooms are clean Parking only street meter parking or the public parking lot on the side of the restaurant, which is for the many restaurants and shops in the area.
Specials were offered on Uber Eats... Chow Fun was standard fare along with string beans BUT the chicken chow mein was horrible - idk what kine noodles they used but they were bland and smushy - toppings also lacked any "heat" or flavor -
Excellent Chinese food at Duk Kee in Kaimuki! Service was friendly and prompt! Very pleasant ambiance - you'll feel very welcome here! Parking available in municipal lots or on the street. Will be returning soon!
Duk Kee Chinese Restaurant located at the old Dragon Pearl site on 12th Ave. They had an awesome special running for July. For just $108 you get 1/2 a Roast Duck, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Beef Broccoli Chow Mein, Chinese Chicken Salad, Lemon Chicken, Steamed Fish Fillets with Ginger and Green Onions, and Ma Po Tofu. Chef prepared with great attention to detail. His sauces enhanced the flavors of the dishes to another level. Simply delicious . It was very reminiscent of Traditional Cantonese Cooking. Although they were very busy with both Dine In customers and Take Out customers, service was excellent. They have a small dining room, best practice is to make a reservation. Lots of parking in the municipal parking lot . Highly recommended
Duk Kee is one of the few remaining chop suey restaurants remaining on Oahu. A lot of old-timey Chinese restaurants are closing because the owners are retiring and their children do not want to take over the business. My Millennial and Gen Z kids think that Chinese food is Din Tai Fung or Panda Kitchen, but I remember when we would wipe the chopsticks, bowls and teacups clean as soon as we were seated. And the attitude the waitresses would give you! They made the soup nazi look like a novice! Anyways, I digress and miss the good ol' days. Duk Kee changed owners about a year ago. After a rocky start, their food is pretty awesome. They have a monthly special of $109. It's a 9 course meal and all the dishes are tasty and substantial. It fed the four of us and we had enough leftovers to take home. I wish Duk Kee good luck and fortune in this Year of the Fire Horse. Kung Hee Fat Choy!
Duk Kee is a convenient local Chinese restaurant that's not good but not bad. After ownership changed a little bit ago, the taste of the food and price did change too unfortunately. However, they are still convenient and fairly fast (previously was 10 minutes but now food takes 20 minutes). The "new" (versus previous ownership) workers still dont smile, which i find odd since they are younger, but at least they dont talk stink about customers and are very hard workers! The best value is their monthly set menu deal. We just tried their January 2026 deal. Great menu for $108 (i think monthly menu was $88 and $98 just last year). We also added a sweet sour fish $18.95. We also tried their Sunday lunch specials: chinese chicken salad $12.50 and sam see mein $14.50 (was $13.50 exactly 1 year ago). Unfortunately the sam see mein only had about half the quantity of toppings that other places give. I paid $1 more to change the noodles to the rice noodles that other places normally also make it with. But this one was long, thick, and chewy. It just wasnt good. On the other hand, the $108 set monthly menu included: rice, scallop soup (very salty), honey walnut shrimp (really big shrimp), lotus root with black fungus veges (no taste but I love these veges so I just added chili sauce), salt and pepper pork chop (tasty and good size pieces), cold ginger chicken (not sure why, but had lots of tiny pieces of bone shards), beef broccoli cake noodles (very small portion of cake noodles--supposedly feeds 5, but that means each person gets like 2 cake noods), and jin dui (yummy). Also added sweet and sour fish -- i always order this. Yummy. I think just got to stick with the stuff you know is good. Don't deviate.
Very solid American/chop suey style Chinese food that I think is way better than the average reviews imply. The value is excellent and you can get a variety of dishes that all have distinct flavors. Also, it's a great place to go if you don't want to wait a long time between ordering and getting served. The service is incredibly fast. Not as salty as some other Chinese restaurants - which is a good thing. It's a little cold in the restaurant so bring a jacket if you tend to be cold. Or just order some hot food. We enjoyed everything we ordered: * pork with sweet and sour cabbage * tofu with mixed vegetables * green beans with minced pork * steamed fish fillets with ginger and scallions * beef with pepper
This is my 2nd trip to Kaimuki with a friend, so surely I didn't know what to expect when going to a place over there. I remembered seeing Duk Kee the last time I visited Kaimuki, but didn't consider eating there at the time. That time, I considered it. Coming into this, I didn't know what to expect, all things considered. However, after today, maybe it isn't so bad. The plate lunch special that I ordered...definitely a lot of food for what you get in terms of the price. I liked what I mostly ate, but the spareribs, not so much. I don't know why, but for some reason, it wasn't that good. The pot roast pork and beef broccoli noodles were actually my favorite thing about that lunch plate. Gau Gee...not bad. All-in-all, it was okay for a first-time visit. Overall, this gets a 8.5 out of 10 from me. Maybe next time I'll try something different there...like the cold ginger chicken or maybe the salt and pepper pork chop.
Been looking for a good Chinese food since moving to Hawaii and I think I found one I like. Grew up in NJ/NY area so I've had some good Chinese food. Miss those late nights (or early morning) escapades at China Town in NYC for some good grubs! Anyways, I'm more into American Chinese aka Orange/Lemon chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, veggie/chicken/shrimp lo mein, etc. Tried both (though not pictured) as well as their house noodles with chicken and veggies. We got the orders for pick up on a Saturday night. Damn they are busy. Highly recommend calling your orders in or take out. The chicken was crispy, good amount of meat and flavorful. Same with the shrimp and the walnuts had the right amount of sweetness. I like how their aired out the dishes and punctured holes to prevent it from getting soggy. Service was ok. Very busy here in a Friday night. So call ahead.
Three and a half stars. Heard ownership changed. New owners seem young and new chef. The menu is probably about the same with a few changes but you'll get your go to Chinese take out for the weeknight you don't feel like cooking. I'm sure if I are there it would have been better (always)! The food was very decent and the owner was friendly. It's a legendary "old timer" restaurant in Kaimuki and I'm glad it has not gone down to pieces like it was during covid. New owners, better deals, I will go next time inside to eat!! Happy they're still in business Apologies for no food pics but they got moved around in the car and didn't look so presentable.
Food is decent priced. Presentation is good. Amount is great. Taste is good. This place is available on uber eats.
We had a family dinner last night at Duk Kee. My cousin ordered 9 dishes for just 8 of us. The food was so delicious, we hardly had any leftovers. Service was excellent, they changed plates and kept water and tea filled. We preordered the dishes and reserved a table. The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday evening. Duk Kee is excellent and I highly recommend dining here. I took photos of some of our dishes. Not shown, was the Char Siu Ribs that had to be ordered 24 hour in advance, Sautéed Clams and Chinese Chicken Salad! I was too busy eating!
Reviews are mixed. Many enjoy the generous portions and classic Cantonese dishes, with favorites like crispy gau gee and honey walnut shrimp. People also appreciate the monthly specials value.

i tried their September Special. At $15 it's a good value and with nearly two weeks left in this month...time to take advantage of Duk Kee Chinese Restaurant's deal. The September Special consists of Cold Ginger Chicken ( the hot ginger chicken is all the rage, I know ), Sweet and Sour Pork Spare Ribs, Beef Broccoli, Fried Rice, and two Crispy Gau Gee. The ginger chicken was good as was the fried rice. Pork spare ribs were okay...a bit tough...otherwise I'd say good. The rest average. A fair amount of food and I was looking forward to the ginger chicken so I can still recommend this bargain. It is Teddy Bear approved, after all. I ordered online via their website. read more

I walked in and ordered. It was not crowded. They made me wait 20 minute for the special of the day. Roast chicken on noodle no msg. My friend on the only table with people eating said - what a long wait. Yep 20 min. Two other people with one item each picked up their order while I was waiting. Another order with around 5 won ton mien and 3 or 4 other dishes was being made while I waited. When I asked about my border they looked surprised. I even paid cash to avoid the 3% credit card charge. So I am not impressed with the newer owners. I was not treated as poorly with the old owners and the food was salty and the noodles so soggy with gravy spilling out of the container. Other people like this restaurant but for me I am not impresssd. read more

My experience with take-out was good. They were friendly and on time. The restaurant looked clean. However, the food didn't taste as good as I expected. I ordered a pork chop with pepper salt, beef chow fun, and shrimp wonton. The portion was appropriate, but they all tasted very bland. read more

The "common" Cantonese dishes are mostly done well. One of the best things is the jai at the beginning of every month -- 5 stars. Some cons are -- stingy fillings and size of their gau chee, bland pork hash, really sub par stuffed duck. Popular dishes like beef broccoli and sweet & sour pork are ono. Just depends on what you order.... read more
2024 update Duk Kee came under new ownership during the first quarter of 2024. With new ownership came new cooks and the way dishes were prepared. Our initial purchases were disappointing, flavoring or lack thereof was a shock. We decided to wait and give them a chance to work it out. Many times because new cooks will approach things differently, old time customers from the previous regime expect the taste to be the same,, sometimes this is not the case. Does it mean it's bad? Not necessarily, it depends. Recently we had a chance to try their crispy gau gee with ss sauce on the side. This appetizer was prepared nicely and we enjoyed it. We will probably slowly poke around and try other dishes to see if our initial experiences have changed or probe to find dishes better suited for us. I will say they seem to still be doing a brisk business so their customers, and many must be regulars, must be enjoying the food. New customers? Longtime patrons? It depends... read more

Located in the heart of kaimuki town right next to Via Gelato. Great place for quick and affordable Chinese. My go to is their dinner plate, has a great variety and definitely big enough to share. We usually split a dinner plate and something else off the menu. This time we went I got their honey walnut shrimp and pork sour cabbage. Both yummy and fresh tasting. Staff aren't the friendliest but they are attentive and helpful. Plenty parking behind the restaurant in the shared lot. Payment by credit card only. read more

Duk Kee in Kaimuki is one of my favorite places for Chinese food. While I have dined in here a few times, most of the time, I'll do takeout. The menu has so many options and so sometimes it's hard to decide what to order. My favorite dishes include the crispy gau gee (deep-fried wontons), cold ginger chicken, and honey walnut shrimp. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable so I'll often order extra to take for lunch! Parking can be a bit challenging and also be careful even if you're stopping in just to grab your takeout. I've seen someone ticketed when they were parked illegally just to run in for 2 minutes to grab their food! read more

This was my first time in this establishment in Kaimuki on 12th Ave. My family and I went for dinner. What can I say but I was totally blown away by the service I received. This was not like any other Chinese establishment. They were friendly, funny and great food. The smell of various dishes was outstanding. I am pretty picky on various dishes especially Chinese. I have too many favorites to say but the Black Bean Chicken and various outstanding dishes. Plus I love their Abalone Soup. read more

I'm not sure what's wrong with this restaurant but the food is DISGUSTING!!!! Please don't come here and waste your money. We were looking for quick Chinese food and the chow mein had zero flavor and all of the veggies are old. My friend who isn't picky at all said this is the worst food she's ever had Also why does the orange chicken have jalapeños in it ??? read more
Oh Duck Kee. How I've ignored you for 25+ years. What was I thinking?? Well, it was the menu. It looked too Chop Suey'ish and basic. But there's a secret menu with a little bit more authentic dishes! When I read the news about the owners of Duck Kee retiring, and the new owners is from Golden Eagle, I was even less interested because I'm not a fan of their food. How did I end up at Duck Kee? I'm even a lesser fan of Happy Day! Duck Kee has been in Kaimuki--along 12th Avenue near Waialae Avenue for over 45 years! That's amazing! We need to keep these establishments. There's only metered parking and the municipal lot. The inside is spacious with a decent amount of tables. The metal chairs and booths with the red fabric padding instantly brings the vintage Chinese restaurant vibes. The menu is the usual American Chinese fare with your Orange Chicken, Crispy Gau Gee, and etc. Luckily I did stare at the menu for a long time as I wouldn't have received Duk Kee's special menu! We started with the Egg White and Dried Scallop Fried Rice. This was okay. It never felt like I was eating fried rice as the rice was still clumpy, bland, and bright white, and there was zero wok heat. The egg whites were also mostly clumped together. The green onions were scant. But at least the dried scallop was hydrated and not the deep fried, just sprinkled on top of the fried rice variety. Ong Choi with Preserved Bean Curd Sauce was decent. I needed more taste and flavor. The preserved bean curd taste did not come through, and the ong choi was on the "old" side. Lastly we ordered the House Special Ribs. My grandma wanted to sub the regular broccoli for Chinese broccoli, and to my surprise, they were able to do that! I didn't even see Chinese broccoli anywhere on the menu. Good to know! The pork ribs were super tender--literally fall off the bone. The meat was quite tasty and flavorful with a nice balance between savory and sweet. The Chinese broccoli was cooked very well too. Overall, the meal was all right. The ribs were excellent, and the prior dishes needed some work, but still decent. The service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly, polite, accommodating, patient, and courteous. I swear I've seen the staff at some other Chinese restaurant, but I just can't remember. I was glad to meet a server who was kept on and said she worked there for 25 years. The prices are on-par with other places, and their portions are quite generous. I'll say it's better than the place an avenue away, and I'll definitely come back to try more. read more

In 1993 Sylvester Stallion movie The Demolition Man, we all laughed at the idea that all restaurants in the future would be Taco Bell. Who would've thought that we're slowly edging toward that preposterous situation? Until that dreadful future, please enjoy Duk Kee Chinese Restaurant. Duk Kee is Old School Cantonese food with the taste of Old Hawaii when Kapiolani Coffee Shop was located at Aloha Motors and Tops Restaurant. The menu is traditional Cantonese with a smattering of Szechuan. Additionally, what sets Duk Kee apart from others is their cook who taste and presentation reminds me of the now closed Chan's Gourmet Chinese Restaurant. During Thanksgiving, Duk Kee offered two (2) items that are simply delicious and innovative; Cold Soft Won Ton in Cold Ginger Chicken Sauce and Salt-n-Pepper Shishamo (Capelin). Yes, Shishamo is Japanese for the Willow Leaf Smelt, but Duk Kee doesn't serve it deep fried in panko and charge $6 for three (3) fish, either. What you get is two (2) handfuls of beer battered smelts served with salt, pepper, garlic, green onions and jalapenos. Yum! So, the next time that you're in Kaimuki, stop by Duk Kee Chinese Restaurant for a taste of how Chinese food was served to your parents and grandparents. A word of caution: Duk Kee is so good that online dining dominates their sales. Yes. They're that good! read more
Lunar New Year lunch here on 02/10/24. Our order: Kau yuk with taro, black bean beef chow fun, fish filets with sweet and sour sauce and sin choy, jai, Peking duck with bun, diced winter melon soup, rice, egg fu yong, and tea. There were seven of us. We wanted to try the new ownership of this restaurant. The place was very busy today. This is expected on the Chinese holiday. The tables appeared clean. Seating was tight. After we placed our order in, service of the dishes were quick. Water and tea refills were constant and removal of used dishes were quick. Service is 5 out of 5 here. The food was as follows: Jai- 4 out of 5. A bit on the sweet side. Oysters are a nice touch. Peking duck with buns-3 out of 5. Not your typical Peking duck. It was on the dry side. The buns were great 5 out of 5. Restaurant also provided us extra hoisin sauce (upon request) for the duck. Black bean beef with chow fun- 3 out of 5. Not much taste to this dish. Beef had an unusual texture. Pounded beef maybe? Winter melon soup-4.5 out of 5. This soup was just right in my humble opinion. The mix of ingredients were flavorful. I enjoyed this dish the most. Kau yuk with taro-4.5 out of 5. Very large serving size. Thick cuts of kau yuk (braised pork) and taro. My dad really enjoyed this dish. Fish filets with sweet and sour sauce and sin choy. 3.5 out of 5 stars. The fish was a bit on the chewy side. The sauce is tasty with the sin choy. Egg fu yong was nondescript. 2 out of 5. It was not fluffy but flat and closer to fried eggs texture. This was my least favorite dish. Rice was fresh and fluffy 5 out of 5. Tea was extremely bland and without taste. 1 out of 5. I'll stick with the water. I met the manager Gavin who thanked us for our patronage. He had a nice personality and he was multitasking ( phone orders, table orders, getting take out ready, and ringing up the charges!). There is one gender free bathroom. It could be cleaner. 3 out of 5. You'll need to go behind the cashier to reach the bathroom. Space here is very limited. Parking is street metered parking or paid parking lot for Happy Days and other restaurants. read more

What is the health score? red? green? yellow? i dont see it on the page?
Varies by inspection
Do they use MSG in their food?
They may use a little in some menu items, but the restaurant is very accommodating with requests for anything & everything to be cooked without MSG or any allergens.
What's in the stuff eggplant?
Marinated pork hash & sautéed in a wok & then covered by a ono black bean sauce. One of my fav to eat over rice😋
How many people will one order feed?
It all depends. Depends on each person's appetite. One rule when ordering at a Chinese restaurant, 1 dish per person. So if there are 4 people, 4 dishes. Hope that helps.
