"Social Media made me do it" Fu Kee Express does a lot of things correctly. I visited during lunch hours, so I avoided long lines and dinner rush. Owner was personable, kind, and very nice. This is not a dine in restaurant - be prepared for takeout only. Prices are higher than typical. Food was solid. Egg rolls better than most and not greasy. Pork fried rice very, very good. Rice is yellow (perhaps food coloring?) and delicious. I typically order no egg, no peas, no carrots, and add bean sprouts. Disappointed they don't offer bean sprouts, but I'm also tempted to add veggies upon next visit. Overall, rice was delicious. My biggest letdown was garlic shrimp and veggies. Shrimp were large - but slightly overcooked. Veggies also overcooked. Flavor fell a tad bit flat. I'm guessing it was me, and perhaps I had a bad day (which, IMO, affects flavor). I would definitely try again if I'm in the area. Fast casual Chinese: 3.7 read more

Best Chinese food in Raleigh. I ordered the General Tso combination platter. The chicken was just the right size pieces and cooked perfectly crispy. The egg roll was yummy as was the fried rice. Delicious, fresh and generous portions. read more

Fu Kee Express is a true one-man operation, which in itself is impressive. If you scroll through the photos on their profile, you'll get an accurate preview of what to expect--generous portions, packed containers, and flavorful food all prepared by the owner himself. Ordering can feel a bit unconventional. You can call to place an order, but only during specific hours when the phone is answered. There's no online ordering or third-party delivery, which makes sense given that this is a solo operation focused on quality and timely preparation. The best option is to stop in person, and depending on the day and time, expect a short wait. No eat in options either. The food absolutely hits the spot and easily satisfies any Chinese food craving. We especially enjoyed the sesame chicken, beef lo mein, Mongolian beef, crab rangoon, and beef teriyaki on a stick. read more

Best shrimp fried rice and crab Rangoon and egg rolls easy to get to .we had to get chicken wings from Asian pepper

Best Chinese take-out in the area. I rolled up this evening 5 minutes before close. Owner graciously let me in and offered the full menu. He didn't guilt me about showing up at closing time either. Ordered sesame chicken and it was DELICIOUS! The chicken was tender, not overly battered and the flavor profile was well balanced. The white rice was perfectly cooked and fluffy. I'm used to 1/2 cooked (under cooked) rice at most places. But not here. It was perfect. I will definitely be coming back soon. read more

The Best Chinese takeout in Raleigh hands down! He's still a one man show but he does it so well! Everything is tasty flavorful and fresh! This is our family's favorite takeout place! read more

Food is great Service is horrible Used to be a loyal customer for years, always tipped... Now owner doesn't answer calls. read more

Some of the better Chinese food in raleigh. The guy is hilarious. He reminds me of the soup n*zi from Seinfeld. He has no problem telling you what is on his mind. Be prepared to be insulted if you're wasting his time. When I went he was a 1 man show and you'll be lucky if he answers the phone. read more

I got the sesame chicken with Roast Pork Fried Rice with a large Shrimp Fried Rice! Hands down the best Chinese in the area. Been going here for years !! Always recommend. Service always good for one person. read more

Great food Possibly the best Chinese food in town Very nice one man show. Will eat here again. ‼ .................... read more

IYKYK. Best Chinese in the triangle. Take out only, Mike is a one man show. If he doesn't pick up the phone, it's because he's taking an order at the door or has started cooking the next masterpiece. Have your order ready and don't ask a lot of questions. He will tell you how long and you can wait there or in your car. He's funny and remembers good people. Think Soup Nazi with a great sense of humor. When you keep going back, he remembers your number. Delicious food, great service, but you'll have to provide the ambiance at home. Every time we go, there's someone from Zebulon, Knightdale or Wake Forest picking up because they won't go anywhere else. read more

Best 1 man food available. Best Chinese food hands down. Take out only sucks because you have to wait till you get home to enjoy it. read more

Fu Kee Express - Human Triple Delight. One of my favorites from the best Chinese food Restaurant outside of China Town. - Chinese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Well... first the bad... no seats for waiting, have to wait forever to order. The phone is ringing over and over... not one to greet or take your order upon arrival. The restaurant is clean looking.... But no tables and chairs for eat in option. Now the good. The food is absolutely amazing!!! The flavors this chef creates are astounding!!! Some say it's worth the wait. I don't mind waiting for the food to be prepared, but I HATE not being greeted and waited on when I enter.... And I don't believe I would get through on the phone read more

THE RUDEST PERSON EVER runs this joint!!!! This man was rude and upset that I showed up early for my order. Even though I told him it's okay I live close so I'm prepared to wait. He proceeded to tell other customers that came in, that he could not believe that I would show up early. And I was sitting right there waiting! He lost my business for ever! If you want to go somewhere and have the owner belittle you, this is the place to go. Horrible person and horrible service!!!! read more

UMMM? I drove in the POURING RAIN btw & will do so again lol. This mans food is DELICIOUS! Im super picky about my Chinese food since it makes my tummy hurt. Not only is my tummy fine but, its so flavorful, just the right amount of spice & he's so nice :). You can tell he cares and I love his confidence with his cooking. Ill be returning! read more

Food is good and the owner does everything by himself, it may take a little longer to get your food because he doesn't have any help but it's worth the wait. read more

Very tasty food, huge portion sizes, and lovely takeout service. The owner was very kind and I was so happy to finally try this place out :)

I ordered the beef broccoli combo meal with roasted pork fried rice and an Eggroll and I also ordered Vegetable Fried Rice. It was absolutely delicious!! Beef and Broccoli was cooked perfectly and meat was tender. We have had trouble finding great Chinese food here. We will return! read more

This one man show is authentic Chinese food. It might take a while, but he is working by himself. The best Chinese I've had in the area. I wouldn't say the fried rice is as dark as it is in New York, but it's still good. This place is quality. read more

This restaurant is a one-man operation! The restaurant during Covid turned into a pick up service only and since the restrictions have lifted, hasn't transitioned back to a regular sit down establishment. Nonetheless the owner took over the cooking, order taking and packing duties all to himself. Despite that, the food doesn't appear to suffer all that much. Notables dishes include his drunken noodles as well as his house special fried rice. The rest of the dishes were good enough. Please also ignore his gruff and curt demeanor. If you had to do everything yourself, you can't suffer the inane requests and conversation. Behind that rough exterior is a really nice guy just working hard to earn a living. read more

Found Fu Kee by researching nearby restaurants while doing errands. Great ratings. One of the reviews said the owner runs a one-man show. Well, they weren't lying. In addition to the ordering being a bit confusing, the wait seemed to keep getting longer. Takeout only. Very reminiscent of the start of COVID with the entire restaurant blocked off at the front door. There were also some "Yankee" jokes by the owner about the lack of patience of those from NY and NJ so the owner doesn't answer calls from those phone area codes. I didn't receive that too well after exhibiting lots of patience. There are so many transplants in the triangle, I'd suggest stopping that. Food was good, not great. Would I make a trip there: no, for distance alone. Will I return: considering the wait and jokes that fell flat... no. read more

Solid Chinese food that won't disappoint. The owner is fast and friendly but he's mostly working alone which must be stressful to do. It's take out only, which is cool with me. Absolutely worth trying. read more

This is a righteous spot to get made-to-order Chinese food! It is definitely worth the patience for this one man operation. We ordered the Hunan Chicken and Beef Broccoli, both were prepared well with tender meat, sauce and broccoli. Tip - do call ahead, and be patient if he doesn't answer right-away. He's probably preparing a righteous meal for another customer. You will appreciate the results. read more

Chinese food so good... you don't even need soy sauce!! This was our second time ordering and it was great both times! I had chicken and broccoli the first time and chicken lo mein this time with steamed dumplings and spring rolls! I was half way through the chicken lo mein when I realized I hadn't use soy sauce that's when I realized this is awesome food! Everything tastes fresh and real.. well seasoned! KEEP IN MIND THIS WHOLE SHOW IS BEING RUN BY THE OWNER! My husband picked up the food both times says the guys is cool but sometimes he won't answer the phone cause he's cooking you may have to walk in and order and wait about 20 minutes cause he takes his time but it's worth it! Bring a book and relax! We got all the food pictured and it was about $40 that sounds high but I mean look at how full the plates are you get your monies worth!! I definitely have leftovers! read more

Mike was great! he took our order, said 30 min and was ready in time. one man show and super nice. if you want fast food go to McDonald s. if you want homemade food go to Mike. kind and loves what he does. read more

I really wanted to love this place based on the reviews (and it shares a parking lot with the hotel I am staying at) and after meeting Mike. I ordered the Hunan beef, extra spicy, which it was, but there was no flavor to either the entree or the odd yellow fried rice. The beef was the same low quality, fatty stuff at every other Chinese carryout place in every strip mall in America. The portion size was big and there was a lot of beef and veggies, but I could only stomach a few bites. I ended up throwing away the Hunan beef and ordering a hamburger from the hotel bar after all, so it was a very expensive dinner tonight read more

Finally, Good Chinese Food in the Raleigh area!! One Man Mike from NY makes a generous/Great Meal. Take out Only, call ahead to order!! read more

First time today and will definitely be back. The food is delicious. The best orange chicken ever. As all comments state, Mike is a one man show but he couldn't have been kinder or more welcoming. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

Perfect spot for a Chinese food craving. Menu has all the typical classics and food is very flavorful. There is only one person that works at the restaurant so call ahead if you are in a hurry. The person working there is always friendly and works quickly. read more

Best NY-style Chinese food I've found down here. Yes, schedule is erratic, yes, one man show. I drive by and if I'm hungry and he answers the door (or phone) I eat, if not I try next time. No big deal folks. Be patient it's worth it. read more

Yesterday, I went for a 2nd visit since the owner picked up the phone when I called. The ONE thing I'd highly recommend is the Crab Rangoons. Yes, it's expensive ($7.95 for 6 pieces as February 2022), but the owner doesn't skimp on the fillings. The Seafood Delight was slightly above average. The only criticism here is the scallops were overly cooked so it was a bit rubbery. The Lo Mein is still as good as last time so it's definitely a stable item that I would get. Avoid the Rice and Roasted Pork dishes. Why? Rice seems either super old and clumpy OR mushy (overcooked). The Roasted Pork is super dry like the dry onion packs in your cheap store bought ramen. read more

We live in the DC area now, where there's Chinese spots everywhere, and we STILL compare everything to this gem of a restaurant! It's that good! read more

Our first time and won't be the last. We were confused the dining room was not available and you had to call in the order. It quickly became apparent that one man was running the entire show. He was pleasant, quick to give us our order, and the food speaks to his passion for cooking. It was the best fast restaurant Chinese I have had to date. read more

I absolutely LOVE Fu Kee Express and I crown this as the number one spot for Chinese takeout in all of North Carolina. The man never disappoints with his food! My fiancé and I have eaten at many different Chinese takeouts and I was actually raised by parents who owned a Chinese restaurant throughout most of my childhood and teenage years. Coupled with the fact that my family and I are from New York where some of the best Chinese food outside of China is available you can imagine how much Chinese takeout I have had for comparison to be able to say this guy is the best. He gives the optimal seasoning and the meat he uses is always well marinated and tastes extremely fresh! He mentioned to me before that any of the prepared meat for the day that doesn't get used would not be used the next day to ensure freshness of his food. I highly recommend his crab rangoons! It's different from other ones in the area as he adds some sort of honey flavoring in the cheese so it gives it a completely unique flavor! Also, he probably makes the best beef ho fun and General Tso's chicken you can get anywhere (our typical order). I live in Durham now and still occasionally drive 35 minutes out of my way to his takeout place. Yes, he is a one man dream team and yes, at times he may not answer your phone call or may cause you to end up waiting a bit to enjoy his food due to him working on his own, but the quality of his food is seriously TOP NOTCH. As a child of immigrants who recognizes the dedication and independence in so many other Chinese parents of this same industry I admire and appreciate his hustle. I wouldn't suggest asking him to hire someone to help or he might get mad at you lol. I am already planning my next trip out to his restaurant while writing this! read more

Tasty fresh and very congenial service! Best Chinese carry out in Raleigh. Highly recommended.

I don't know what kind of taste bugs the good reviews got but the only thing they were right about was the position size. I got shrimp fried rice it was bland and the shrimp over cooked. read more

This place has been on my radar to try because of all the great comments and online reviews. It did not disappoint! I lucked out and called on a slower day during lunch & the owner answered. I ordered Hunan Chicken, and he said 15 minutes. He was waiting on me when I got there. So an easy first order for me! I can't say enough good about the Human Chicken. Best I have ever had. Good & spicy! In so many Asian restaurants, when you order the spicy dish they warn you. It's spicy! Then you get the food and it is neither spicy nor flavorful! Not this dish. It lit me up and made my nose run. So good! The chicken was tender unlike that rubbery stuff you get at other places, and there was a good amount of tender spicy vegetables - like broccoli. I am a fan, and want to try some more dishes. So here is to hoping I get through on the phone again. There may be some luck in that. read more

Best Chinese food in Raleigh. No dine area call in order and then pick up only. Food was expensive but well worth it!

Food was fresh, delicious and large portions by this one man shop. Enjoyed the House Fried Rice and Szechwan shrimp. So fresh.
