I was feeling sick today and decided to order takeout soup. I found King Kee on Doordash and the soup looked appetizing. I was about half way with my soup when I suddenly see a black hair. I have red hair so I knew it wasn't mine. So I decided to then just pick out the wontons. Then I take out a wonton and it has a bug on it. Wish I was lying, but both things happened consecutively. Very disgusted and disappointed. read more

Atmosphere: 5 Casual and laid back, the restaurant is comfortable. The menu is clear with an abundance of pictures as well. The restaurant seems to also have a downstairs space so if you have a large party you wouldn't have to worry about space. The bathroom is clean too. Flavors: 5 I had a bowl of dumpling in chili oil. At first I wasn't sure if it's just dumplings in oil or if it actually was a spicy soup. I was told that it has soup in it so I ordered it. It tasted a bit like the flavors of a Mongolian spicy hot pot. I love that flavor so it was great for me. Not too spicy at all but I can handle a lot of spicy. The beef pancake starter was also delicious. Probably the best I've ever had. We also ordered a dish of Chinese broccoli which was crunchy and garlicky. Portions: 5 My fiancé and I came in not very hungry and the things we ordered was just enough for us. If you're hungry, you might want to order an extra something as well. The sizes was just right to share so that you can order a variety of things to try if you wanted. Overall, I would totally go there again. The flavors were authentic and delicious. It wasn't too salty nor too spicy. read more

You can't imagine my disappointment when my cute roommate said he wanted to get King Kee with me after work and I heard him wrong. (wokka wokka wokka) The food is decent, the servers friendly, the location close to my downtown SF office, and it's nice to break up my non-stop trips to the nearby Thai place by popping in here every so often. I don't know that it's good enough to bring me back running; when I go back to visit SF it won't be on the top of my list. But it's fine. Seriously. If you're nearby and hungry, stop by. It'll be good. It won't be amazing. It won't change your life. But it'll be fine. Consistent. Predictable. read more

Ate here with a few friend and the food was relatively decent. We ordered the fried rice, the three BBQ plate with duck, roast pork, and cha siu, Chinese broccoli, and two other dishes that were Sezchuan spicy, the numbing kind. The food was just okay. The BBQ plate wasn't that good, the pork wasn't crispy enough, the duck felt a little over sauces, and the cha siu was just kind of boring. The fried rice and Chinese broccoli didn't stand out, and the other two dishes I didn't enjoy that much because I'm not a big fan of the numbing spiciness. Would probably pass on this in the future but since my friends like it here I'll probably end up back here at some point. read more

What a gem of a restaurant. Service was fast and good. The food was hot and delicious. Ambiance might be lacking, but it's not really much to expect for this style of restaurant, so it didn't detract from anything. It is definitely a place to stop by for dinner if you are in the area as it is a more traditional Chinese food and has some great flavors - and it isn't crazy expensive, which is always a plus. read more

Food was very tasty! Got General chicken. Felt like the host was trying to kick us out towards the end by turning the lights off but it was lunch and no where near closing time lol. Great food, Efficient -not-so-nice-service read more

This restaurant was a walking distance from our Hotel and the reviews where good so we went to try. They have a wide range of dishes to suit every customer. The staff are kind and the food is served very quickly. I had the Mixed Chow Mein and it was amazing. Would also recommend the spring rolls and chili chicken I'll be sure to go back when I'm back in SF! read more

A decent spot for Chinese food near Union Square. My friend and I were grabbing drinks nearby and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat as we were getting hungry. We found this restaurant which was right around the corner from our location so we decided to check it out. We arrived around 9:15 pm on a Wed and the restaurant was mostly empty with a few patrons. It was late and we didn't want to eat too much, so we split a chicken with corn soup ($8.99) and a broccoli beef ($12.99). The soup was good but definitely seemed overpriced for how much they give you (it's meant to be shared by 2). The beef was slightly bland and not as tender as I would've liked, but it was a decently large portion with plenty of sauce, so I happily dumped all the sauce over my rice and ate that with the broccoli beef. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here but if I'm in the area again craving Chinese food, I'd consider coming back here. read more

I'd give a give a five star ...but the lady working never checked in on us while we're eating , the food was amazing the prices are on the higher end but consider location, you r paying for what you get . They could work on Customer service read more

Super convenient and modestly priced for SF. I ordered the chicken pan fried noodles and shrimp dumplings and it's delicious. I have yet to sit down and eat here but the staff seems really friendly and pretty busy. It's comforting to get some good food on your back to the hotel after a long day of work. read more

I stopped by here passing through. I had the general Tsos chicken and a cup of rice. Small quiet relaxing place. The chicken was delicious. A little odd that the rice had to be ordered separately. Overall great food. Better than a pickup and dash place. read more

Checked several reviews, based on some work training figure try this place out. The food was ok, I would not order off the lunch special menu, order from the direct menu, several options the must try for me was the pork shumai. The braised pork slices I would not order again, as well as the lunch special of general chicken with soup, white rice, steamed broccoli. Here is a break down of everything I sampled and how it fares from other chinese food spots in the area. The braised pork slices, similar to filipino version of lechon kawali, the pork was chewy, the skin was deep fried but not as crunchy. Flavor wise it was just ok, I would pass on this dish The pork shumai was excellent, tasted fresh, smaller then normal size shumai at other restaurants, biting down you get the juice of the dumpling which is the bonus, this dish is a must try The lunch special of generals chicken with white rice, steamed broccoli, and soup had its ups and downs. The big down was the generals chicken, tasted reheated not fresh batch, white rice was piping hot and fresh, steamed broccoli was also fresh has a snap when biting down, the soup was clear, diced green onions with egg floating throughout the bowl, out of this dish I would have the soup again, broccoli and the rice minus the general's chicken The venue itself had an upstairs and downstairs I believe the downstairs was meant for larger groups of 4 or more people, the restaurant was clean, bright and staff constantly walking around checking on if you need anything. I will have to come back and try more of the Schezwan type dishes, the mind numbing sole looked very good, I will have to come back for that General's chicken * pass on this item Braised pork slices * pass on this item, it is not lechon, the picture deceives you Soup **** light diced green onions and bits of egg Pork shumai ***** a must try if you are dining here Price $$ Service **** Ambiance *** small, clean, bright inside read more

Absolutely flavorless, nothing like the pictures, and yet somehow highly rated on the delivery apps. Rolls were stale and tasted of old oil. The Flaming Spicy Chicken looked nothing like the pictures, pieces of white chicken floating in oil (stale tasting once again). The egg drop soup was a first, with absolutely zero seasoning or flavor. One of the rare occasions we had to throw out our dinner. read more

Very rude from start to finish. Now I wanted to like them, prices were right, but from calling multiple times to make a to go order, to picking up, to getting it back and finding bugs, it was a horrible experience. Food I had (before I found the bug) was very bland. When trying to resolve the issue, no management, again multiple calls and talk to multiple people. I ended up going all the way back to the restaurant, making a scene, arguing when they tried to just refund shrimp, and finally 10 min later getting a full refund. definitely a first as I try to see some good, but I will definitely not be back here, there's many other options in the neighborhood, some in the same block. Would not recommend!!! read more

OMG! Is right for how delicious this food was. When presented with our dishes they offered us sauces for every dish with an amazing spicy sauce that tasted delicious. Not only was the food amazing but, the service was even better! Even when about to close they continued to let us order last minute. Grateful for amazing people like this. Lesson learned better than it looks! read more

Was here with a group of coworkers. Ordered chicken and broccoli, which came in a brown thick sauce Expected the sauce to be a little lighter it definitely didn't look like the picture that showed on the menu. But it was very good. Also ordered the Shanghai Pork Dim Sum, wasn't so crazy about it, the pork tasted very fatty and sweet. Our waitress was very nice and very knowledgeable about the menu. read more

Came here to have lunch at King Kee which was a month ago back in January 31st 2017!!! But before coming here I was shocked to see that Tian Sing Chinese Restaurant not being there any more!!! So I had no choice but to go King Kee for lunch!!! As I walked in for the 1st time I was greeted by the friendly hostess and lucky for me it wasn't crowded on that day!!! And what I ate was the Beef Fried Rice which wasn't that bad at It tasted really good... I really liked it!!! And not only that the restaurant staff at King Kee was very friendly as well!!! I definitely would wanna go back to King Kee and try another item on their Menu!!! Like most of my other yelp reviews I usually yelp about the bathrooms... The bathrooms that they have at King Kee is clean and not so dirty!!! read more

Late lunch dim sum. Clean exterior in good repair. Clean interior in good repair with classic Chinese decorations. The waitress was fast, friendly, helpful, and attentive but not intrusive. I ordered iced tea and she asked if unsweetened was acceptable? I must speak Cantonese with a Guangzhouer accent. Limited dim sum menu compared to their former menu. Classic Chinese with Cantonese, Shanghai, and Szechuan selections on the regular menu. The scallop dumplings were excellent. The scallop filling contains shrimp. There are three dumplings per order. The chicken mushroom pot stickers were very good with a sauce that contained more than soy sauce and chili oil. The pot stickers were eight per order (if I recall correctly). The salted egg yolk custard buns were phenomenal. They're custard-stuffed bao. They were delivered with steam rising from the buns. At first, they taste great. Then your taste buds catch up with the flavor sensations. They are not overly salty or sweet. They tasted so good, I asked for another order to go. The lo mai gai was superior! Two wraps per order. It was smaller than average, but much tastier than normal. read more

I ordered generals chicken - spicy, steamed rice and two pork buns for delivery with Doordash, and I was staying only .7 miles away. Sadly only the rice was cooked properly. The chicken was dried out and hard from over cooking and the breading was coming off the pieces all on its own, and it was anything but spicy. The pork buns were also dried out and one of them was missing most of its top. The last thing i expected was to get bottom tier Chinese food while staying IN CHINATOWN. read more

I absolutely loved this place! The server was amazing & the place seemed fit for a friendly gathering as well as eating alone for a quick lunch (as I did). I got these pork buns & black pepper beef; Absolutely flavorful, and the food came out super quick! Im talking maybe 10 minutes after I ordered TOPS. Will definitely come back again and bring friends! read more

I found myself heading out of the dentist's office and wanting lunch. Unfortunately, Covid has truly changed the landscape of downtown, and so it was to Yelp that I started looking for options. One was closed for lunch, but do to the reviews, King Kee came up. Doing take out only, on the weird side street of Cyril Magnin, next to Miyabiya Sushi and across from American Indian Cuisine, I have to assume during the before times this block was probably packed with workers grabbing lunch. Now it was a handful grabbing take out. Offering some dim sum items, some standard entrees, rice, and noodle dishes, the fare looked fine and I decided to go with some standards: -Siu Mai: I had to throw these out as they tasted off. -Potstickers: These were fine, more like gyoza style, which makes me wonder if this restaurant is owned/shares a kitchen with Miyabiya. -Yang Chow Fried Rice: This was solid. plenty of shrimp, roast pork, veggies, and rice. Very flavorful, enough for two meals. I enjoyed it. I'd be willing to give King Kee another shot, if things normalize. read more

I cannot believe this place which looks like a good taste Chinese restaurant had made this traditional chow fun was bad. First, the noodles has no taste (it may forget salt), second, it was so wet juice which was not the traditional way of the noodles. 3rd the noodles was so chopped not a long flat one at all. Tally bad. I am not recommended to anyone who likes Chinese food or willing to enjoy the Chinese food or culture. read more

Wonton Soup is always delicious! Their pork bun too is yummy. Highly Recommend if you're looking for authentic Chinese food.

Came here for dinner late on a Friday night. They were pretty busy, but luckily we were seated right away. We ordered the potstickers and the honey walnut shrimp. The potstickers were pretty good - they were meaty and came with a nice salty dipping sauce. The honey walnut shrimp was okay as well, but a pretty heavy dish. The mayo-based sauce on top definitely is full of calories! The shrimp was lightly breaded and crunchy. I also really liked the walnut pieces. Overall I felt that the food was pretty average. read more

Everything was really good. The flavors and spices were all there. I have no complaints. If I lived in the area I would probably order from here once a week. There's lots of options and like I said everything I got was really good. Family sized entrees, made to share! I like to have everyone order one thing they want and we all share everything. That way you get to try lots of stuff! Oh and what a clever name :P read more

I really liked the bbq buns. They were sweet fluffy and very tender definitely recommend them

Solid food, nice service, great potstickers. A bit pricey for lunch because they don't seem to have a traditional Chinese lunch menu (e.g., rice plate with dish and a small soup) so you have to put it together yourself. I had hot and sour soup (good and seemingly served for one judging by the portion), pork siu mai dumplings (very good), and potstickers (very good). Throw in a diet coke and I ended up close to $30 for lunch. read more

Service was okay. We had to wait for a while to be seated and for our orders. It looked like they were understaffed. The space was okay. Nothing special. I got the Mapo tofu (vegetarian). It wasn't the best, VERY bland, even though the server warned me it would be spicy. Maybe ask for extra extra spicy if you decide to order it. read more
