    Skin is so thin
    Bing R.

    I am rating by food not decor. I accidentally went in to this shop because of the hanging duck by the window. But as I entered, the man was slicing some roast pork. The pork looked juicy and the skin sounded crisp. I changed my mind and switched to pork. I did a take out if an entire slice not to be chopped. If you like crisp skin, they did it right! Not even burnt! And part of the meat I got was also juicy. I was just in heaven when I tried it at home. He did not chop it up to my request. This way of I decide to heat it up, the meat will not dry up as much. It turned out I could not wait to try it and ate it cold. Perfect still.

    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.

    Roasted duck and roasted pig rice plate at Ming Kee Kitchen

    I adored this place--a cozy, nondescript, inexpensive, old school Canto joint on Grand, an occasional pit stop for bbq and noodle soups when hungered from grocery shopping--the lady behind the counter and skilled, cleaver wielding guy bbq were always friendly and efficient. However, this past Tuesday, June 18, I ordered the 2-meat bbq rice plate combo of roasted duck and roasted pig which sadly gave me a bad case of food poisoning that lasted 3 horrific days of abdominal pains, dehydration, etc. Needless to say--I'll not be risking another meal there when in Manhattan's Chinatown, despite my love of OG hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

    Walking through Chinatown, I passed by Ming Kee Kitchen. I was drawn by their ad for a whole Peking Duck for $27. Once ordered, it takes them about 15 minutes to prepare it. Ambience: the inside is a little run down. If you judge a book by its cover, then turn around and walk away. Food: Peking Duck was really roasted duck cut into pieces Peking style. Service: no nonsense, skip the pleasantries. TL/DR: if you want Peking Duck, go to a genuine Peking Duck specialist. If you just want some Chinese food, complete with the Chinatown experience, you've come to the right place.

    Old school no frills Cantonese. I got tofu and grouper but with black bean sauce added. Not bad at all

    The lobster was special, I liked it, the rice wasn't so good.

    Wonton soup

    The first challenge was this is a cash only business. Ordered the pork fried rice and wonton soup. The rice was very bland & only had peas (unlike most fried rice). The wontons were big but overall the soup was not very flavorful.

    Everything tasted great and nostalgic. Really hit the spot. Great price too. It's your hole in the wall Cantonese place which you can't find out in the suburbs. Only negative is they didn't have ingredients for 艇子粥 or 及第粥

They gave excellent recommendations, checked in at all the right times without ever making us feel rushed, and brought such genuine, upbeat energy to the table. You can tell they truly care about making guests feel welcomed and taken care of. The food and atmosphere at Buddakan were already incredible, but Anja and Beau elevated the entire evening. If you're dining at Buddakan, ask for Anja and Beau if you can--you'll be in the best hands. Easily some of the best service I've had in New York. 10/10.

They made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our entire visit, and their energy was amazing. They even surprised my boyfriend with a little birthday treat, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. We appreciated it more than they probably realize, and it made his birthday feel extra special. Thank you, Anja and Beau, for making our experience so wonderful! You both deserve all the recognition, and we'll definitely remember the kindness you showed us. We'll definitely be back for them!

Service is very fast and they kept the water flowing (spicy dishes really are spicy!), and the portions are huge. Though you have to pay extra for white rice ($3 a bowl), the overall value was reasonable for the main dishes. The restaurant is dark and elegant inside, with a large tv over the bar that was showing sports when we were there. It had a nice ambience.

    We got grilled pork spare ribs, scallion pancake, half of a Peking duck, pork xiao long bao, mapo…read moretofu, la zi ji (spicy crispy chicken), and general tsos chicken. The grilled pork spare ribs was good, but it was too little meat for the price. The scallion pancake was bland. The Peking duck was ok. The pork xiao long bao was bad. The skin broke easily with the included forceps and with chopsticks. It was hard even transferring it to my plate. The mapo tofu was bland. The la zi ji (spicy crispy chicken) was too spicy to eat. I have good spice tolerance, and I always eat la zi ji, but it was just too spicy. This was the only meat dish that was barely touched at the end of the dinner. The best dish was the cumin lamb. It was seasoned well and the lamb was tender. I wish they gave us more lamb though. The meat pieces were small. I've had much better Chinese food in dallas. I would not recommend this Chinese restaurant to anyone.
