    Roast pork and duck over rice (front) and roast pork over noodles (behind)
    Rachel T.

    Looked for a no-frills place in Philly Chinatown for some comfort food and saw a bunch of Yelp reviews for this place and i was craving shrimp rice rolls so we came! Unfortunately the rice rolls didn't hit, but the rest of the food was still good, served hot and fresh and the table, and we were given tea with the meal. The duck and roast pork were so yummy and their noodles were especially good as a base.

    I am beginning my journey to rate the takeout roast pork and roast duck spots in Phill's Chinatown, and thus my review is limited to that singular dish. M Kee takes home a solid 3.5 stars. The meats both have good flavor, with the pork being a bit better than the duck. The duck pieces i received were a little bit on the scrawnier side in terms of meat, with a lot of bone. A bit of veggies and lots of rice rounded out the bowl. The presentation of the food was pretty, and the service was fast and nice. Keep in mind theyre cash only. Though i took out, there was a bit of seating inside with the clientele being mostly older Chinese people during weekday lunch. Overall, I'd return and think the value for the money was a good par for the proverbial duck and pork course.

    One of a couple chinese bbq spots in chinatown. Decided to stop by to try the duck in Philly. There is the typical chinese bbq feel with limited seating. Food came fast and service was minimal. Kinda what you expect from these types of restaurant. Duck congee - Bits of duck taken off the bone and then chopped into small pieces mixed into soup. Congee was tasty! It was viscious and there was plenty of duck, and fat to add flavour to the congee. Fried dough sticks - A dissapointment as it didn't even come hot... its understandable to cook alot in at the beggining of the day, but please toast it or quick fry to get it crispy again... Would not recommend unless you ready to airfry it at home. Quarter duck - Was a bit surprised that they sell duck by the quarter. I guess its okay for them since theres always a line up for their duck. Duck was a bit on the salty side, had to balance it out with some plum sauce. Otherwise pretty tasty. Also it was alot of duck of a quarter.

    Roast Duck & Pork on Rice 28. Wonton Noodle Soup

    I love roast duck & pork and M Kee definitely satisfied my craving! Not only do they have good portion sizes, but the food was delicious! For $11 you can get both roast duck and roast pork on a bed of white rice which is good by itself, or you can ask for a side of the roast duck sauce which makes it so much better. The only thing for me was that the roast pork was a little too salty for my liking, but with the white rice it's perfect. We also got a wonton noodle soup with some huge wontons which was totally worth the money. Service was good as well, the staff gave us some free tea to pair with our food and we came out super full.

    My 47th birthday adventure It rained all day, so I felt the need to pick a Chinese place before leaving Baltimore. If it hadn't been raining, the plan was to wander chinatown until we found a wheelchair accessible place with ducks hanging in the window. My boyfriend also had his heart set on duck noodle soup since he absolutely adores the soup from the Chinese spot in the Reading Market. With those three requirements in mind, M Kee fit the bill. I was overjoyed that there was a table available when we arrived, as there are only three tables in the restaurant. It's mainly a take away place, we had to move a table to get inside. The ramp is a little iffy, but I was determined. We weren't sure if anyone was going to come to our table to take our order, but eventually a woman rushed over and apologized, saying they were busy. Heck, that's how you make the money. Nothing wrong with that. Our food all came in take out containers. Most of the dining area is taken up by boxes and more boxes. They were making take and go meals next to us. I suppose if you can't be bothered to order ahead. Jeremy was disappointed in his duck noodle soup, even with the double serving of duck. All the duck dishes came with the bones still inside. Delicious but slightly complex to eat since you're constantly picking bones out of your mouth. Jeremy said the soup with bland. However, as an entree, Jeremy had Filet Steak with Black Pepper Sauce. It took longer to come to the table, but it was so worth the wait. It was the sleeper hit of the day. Everyone loved it, including our friend who doesn't like steak. Justin had these awful noodle crepes filled with "fried shrimp" that were not at all what we expected. I'm giving up on trying shrimp items at Chinese places. The flavor is always so overwhelming, and not in a good way. Justin said the filling reminded him of cat food. He also had hot and sour soup, which looked good. He seemed to like it. His boyfriend added some of the noodles from his entree to the soup. Brian had roast duck and pork over noodles. He thought the duck skin was a bit more flaccid than he would have liked, but the pork was good. He also said the noodles were too greasy, thus putting them in the soup. I had the roast duck and pork, no noodles. It was perfection and exactly what I wanted in life. The bathroom was out of order, kinda. It's large and accessible, but the sign above the toilet instructed not to flush toilet paper. There were three whole pigs hanging on hooks, ribs exposed, in the back corner of the "dining" area. I felt like it would be uncouth to take a picture. I had a great time and a fairly unique dining experience. Certainly not for everyone, but I bet the take out is phenomenal, too.

    Excellent food based on two dishes I ordered: Peking duck and cha siu chow mein. The lady who worked at the cashier sure knows her stuff. She is super efficient. The chow mein had lots of ingredients. The flavor was super. The serving portion was hugh. Peking duck with the bao wrap was also very tasty.

    Half order of Peking Duck

    Non-Cantonese style Chinese eateries (think Szechuan, Taiwanese, Shanghainese, etc.) seem to be replacing many of the old school Cantonese restaurants, especially in America's chinatowns. Whilst is has happened a bit in Philly, there are still many good Cantonese eateries here and M Kee is one of the better and more affordable ones. During these pseudo-pandemic times, no dine-in, but service was prompt and efficient. We ordered a half Peking duck (using it as an appetizer for 4), and a BBQ pork (cha siu) HK style pan-fried noodle. The noodle dish was easily large enough to be dinner for 2 people, plenty of noodle and nice frying to produce the right amount of crunchiness. The cha siu was fairly standard and the use of western broccoli diminished the dish a bit. The Peking duck was tasty though I wish we had chosen the traditional thin skins (we had the puffy rice baos, not sure if thin skins were available). I've had better Peking duck but this one was ok. M Kee could be in my standard rotation of Cantonese diners simply cuz the food is good, quick, and well-priced.

    Great Peking duck and pork egg roll. Very good price. A must visit in Chinatown. Will definitely come back

    1/2 Roast Duck $12

    I went Saturday around 4/5 PM and there was no line! They're only open for takeout, so don't be alarmed if the door is locked - they'll come out to take your order and then bring it to you when it's done, which only took a few minutes. I ordered a 1/2 roast duck which cost $12! A little bit too salty imo, but still really good and lots of flavor! I felt like I definitely got a standard half duck - with any half duck, some pieces won't have as much meat but other pieces have a lot of meat. Definitely worth it for the price!

    Beef and fried tofu on rice. $10.50. Has some snap peas and carrot. Very good, smokey wok flavor with a hint of ginger

The homemade DanDan noodles were our favorite, which are served with ground pork in a spicy peanut sauce. We also got the three cup chicken which was so good, with a sweet, licorice-like glaze. Some other favorites were the black pepper chicken and the long hot chicken, if you enjoy spice. We had the ginger and scallion dish and was not our favorite, as the chicken had a unique consistency and was quite limp. Overall, good service and a relaxing ambiance in a bustling city.

The food is consistently strong, and the signature dan dan noodles are a must-order. We also tend to get the chicken potstickers, scallion pancake, kung pao chicken, and dry pot beef, along with white rice for the table. It's a menu that rewards repeat visits. We've had both takeout and dine-in here, and we definitely prefer dining in. The food is at its best when it comes straight out of the kitchen. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and kind without being overbearing. For seating, we prefer the cozy but small upstairs dining area, so making a reservation on OpenTable is usually a good idea. There are a few high-top tables downstairs near the kitchen and windows, which are also great, but if you prefer a quieter or cozier spot, we think the upstairs is best. They also offer a happy hour with good prices, and overall, the value for the food quality is excellent. We often bring out-of-town guests, and it's always a hit. Sichuan cuisine remains distinct from typical American Chinese, which helps Dan Dan stand out. We've also noticed their Ardmore location, which appears to be a strong alternative. Consistently good, well-run, unique, and worth visiting, especially for the dan dan noodles. Highly recommended and hope to be back soon!

This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.
