    Great place for rice rolls! Their portions are small, perfect for small eaters like me. I highly recommend the BBQ pork rice roll, it was my favorite. The beef brisket rice roll was okay but a bit of bland. We also tried the vegetables (choy sum) with oyster sauce, they were served in whole stems that were quite difficult to eat. We had to ask the staff to cut them into smaller pieces for us. LOL Will be back to try other items on their menu

    Turnip Cake

    Came for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. To start, the place was packed. They had an old-fashioned waitlist: slip of paper with a number. There were about 10 tables ahead of us, and we waited about 15 minutes, so honestly not too bad. The rice noodle rolls were great; I could tell it was their specialty. The turnip cake and curry fish balls also met my expectations, with the former being crispy and not too oily, and the latter having massive portions - the curry was literally overflowing. The highlight for me however was the chicken wings. Juicy, tender, and crispy. Flavor wise, there are some other locations that I prefer over this place, but the most certainly nailed the texture. I would return just for this. Next time I'm around for lunch, I will certainly hit up this spot again.

    Beef brisket rice noodles

    Comforting food for the cold winter weather. We came on a Saturday night. Luckily there was no wait. Menu and ordering is through their QR code. Beef brisket rice noodles: some pieces of the beef brisket were tender and some were not. It was very flavorful. Rice noodle was soft. Noodles needed more sauce as all the sauce was at the top and not mixed thoroughly to the bottom. Chicken cordyceps flower porridge: my first time trying cordyceps flower. It was interesting. Porridge was hot and soft but a bit bland. Service was average. Nothing to rave or complain about. Plenty of parking but it is share with other businesses in the plaza.

    Ming Kee is the best place for Chinese families! We enjoyed the lotus rice, porridge and rice noodle rolls!

    Beef, shrimp and pork liver porridge
    Da Kat A.

    Usually see people waiting outside this place. Decided to give this a try when there was no line. We ordered the beef, shrimp and pork liver porridge The porridge consistency is good, however, the beef is a bit chewy and the pork liver isn't great. Only the shrimp is Ok. For the rice noodles, we got the Chinese donut wrapped in rice noodles but it's not good. Chinese donut is all soft and soagy. It doesn't taste fresh. The noodles are pretty thin but the whole dish doesn't taste good. The food is not warm either and the sauce is too salty. Very disappointing. Curry fish balls and pork skins is decent. The fish balls texture is bouncy. This seems to be the best dish out of all of them. We were happy that we got to try it without waiting for table but are disappointed that the porridge and rice roll noodles are not as good as we hoped for.

    Been craving Cantonese congee so I checked out this place in Cupertino. It was not quite at the level I expected, but still a great spot to try if you want a hot Cantonese meal. The food is easy and comforting whether you dine in or get it to go. It is located inside a plaza with several restaurants and plenty of parking, and there are a few boba spots nearby so it is nice to walk around and grab a drink afterward.

    Obviously, there are far more options to choose from, but when I think of what to eat when in Cupertino, Taiwanese food is always the first thing that comes to mind. In a not so distant second would be Chinese food. So, in that sense, it's not all that shocking to come across a spot like MingKee Deli (even if the food is closer to Cantonese compared to the comparatively spicier Chinese restaurants around town). However, this still felt like a total gem of a find! Between how late it was starting to get and how they just so happened to specialize in the exact thing we were craving (jook/congee), it was as if the world was bringing us all together! Now, while several of my fellow Yelpers have mentioned that parking in the complex can be a little tough, I've never had a problem immediately finding a space. That being said, both of my visits here were outside of peak dinner hours (after 8pm the first time, around 5pm the second), so I also might've just missed the dinner rush. Similarly, it wasn't all that busy inside both times I was here, which was great. You can order at the register by the door before taking a seat or you can order off your phone by scanning the QR code. As for the menu, it's not super varied (mostly made up of porridge, rice noodle rolls, and some dim sum items), but a lot of the dishes looked and sounded so enticing! -- PRESERVED EGG & PORK PORRIDGE...$10 This was terrific! I wasn't feeling great the first time I came here, but this really hit the spot - it was so warm and comforting. Plus, not only was it just tasty, but the consistency was perfect and it had a fair amount of pork and preserved egg in this too! -- SHRIMP RICE NOODLE ROLL...$8.50 Although the presentation may leave a bit to be desired (it looks like a messy pile), this was quite good! The noodles are very thin and look like they're just folded over, but they're still tender and the shrimp are juicy and plump. Yum! -- CHINESE DONUT...$3.50 Nothing amazing, but pretty solid. Sadly, it came out more warm than hot, but it was still decently crispy and soft on the inside. Plus, I liked that it wasn't all that oily either. -- BEEF BRISKET RICE NOODLE ROLL...$10.50 I assumed I would like this one better, but it actually wasn't as good as the shrimp roll. The sauce was super flavorful, but the noodles didn't absorb the flavors very well and the chunks of beef, while plentiful, could've been more tender. -- FISH PORRIDGE...$12 Not too shabby, but not as good as the Preserved Egg & Pork. Mostly, I just thought it would have had actual chunks of fish, as opposed to fish balls. That being said, the fish balls were actually pretty tasty - not sure if it's homemade, but better than the generic fish balls you normally see. One thing that MingKee does that I really like is that with every porridge order, they also give you a small dish with green onions and peanuts/crisps for you to add in. While not entirely necessary, it's still greatly appreciated, as many of the other places I've been to don't do the same. Also, I certainly didn't mind how fast the food comes out - both times I've been here, our dishes started to arrive not long after ordering! While I wouldn't go so far as to say that MingKee is one of the best spots that Cupertino has to offer (there are so many more places for me to try!), I can't say I've experienced anything even remotely close to a complaint either. At the very least, their porridge is one of the better ones I've had and this place was such a great find for something warm and comforting for a relatively late dinner. Even though I've already been back a second time, I wouldn't say "no" to coming back to enjoy even more! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

    Dim sum
    Kim l.

    Popped in for dinner last month. We ordered: Dim sum special: 5/5 everything was tasty! Preserved egg and pork porridge: 4/5 egg and porridge was good. The sliced ham pieces was ok. Soup b: 4/5 clean broth Beef brisket rice noodle roll: 3/5 this was sweet and the noodle roll wasn't what I expected. We would not reorder this. Chinese donut: 4/5 not oily at all! Chicken feet: kids liked it Special spare rib rice: 4/5 very good! Sponge bun 5/5 excellent!

    Homey Cantonese cuisine that warms up your stomach and soul. Only gripe I had was wish the porridge was a bit more smooth Recommend getting a porridge + 2 rice rolls to share. The soup was also delicious, tasted exactly like something my mom has made before. I like that there were also different types of soups to choose from. If you speak Cantonese, it'll be a plus because you can ask what they recommend based on what result you want (ie: digestion/ "yeet hay" etc). Would recommend!

    wtf is this in my porridge?!

    WTH - MAJOR FOOD SAFETY CONCERN. ordered doordash and my usual century egg n pork porridge, had two metal, staple or hook looking thingies INSIDE the porridge while i was eating it. TOTALY could have gotten hurt! these are freaking metals and HOW do they get in there please tell me?!?!?!?!

    We love eating rice rolls. Our friend told us about this place and we knew we had to visit. We came around 530pm. Still plenty of seats. They have a QR code or paper menu. The decor is very simple here and it can be tight. After you order, they print out your items and place it on your table. You take the same paper to pay at the counter when you cash out. We felt like the rice rolls was soft in texture but overwhelming the entire dish. Not enough stuffing. We ordered a plain for our picky toddler and then realized there's no point because the other dishes had overwhelming rice roll. The porridge we thought was the best dish - a lot of toppings and the perfect amount of savory. Good sized. They have rice dishes that looked good but sold out.

    Came here on a Thursday night and it was pretty slow. There was maybe 3-4 other parties, so it was quiet. You order on your phone and food comes out pretty quick. Their rice rolls here is sooooo thin and delicious. Definitely coming back here for the rice rolls. Everything else was pretty good, but nothing super stand out-iish. Their thousand year old egg porridge had a lotttt of egg, which I love, since most places don't give you a whole lot.

    We always ate next door at the Thai restaurant but didn't realize this hidden gem!! Such a great spot for lunch/dim sum/congee. The restaurant is smile but the quality is so fresh and everything comes out piping hot. Loved the different type of rice rolls available too.

There was no line for us to be seated. I was able to flag down a server to seat us since they seem to be extremely busy cleaning tables and servicing others. The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.

I love their chicken and rice and their beef and rice, but my absolute favorite is the beef brisket with rice. I always get it extra spicy and add the bamboo. It is so good every time.

There is a QR code on the table that you have to scan to order- unfortunately the app to order requests a lot of information and also requires your phone number and verification.

One member in our party had trouble ordering on the app. We also had a very long wait when we asked for to go boxes for our leftovers and when we asked to pay the check. In fact, my friend ended up eating the rest of his food because it took so long to get a box for leftovers. I ordered the boneless yellow braised chicken rice mild- the chicken came with skin on and jalapeños and a side bowl of rice. The food was simple and tasty. Overall, I would only go back if I were in the area and had a lot of time to wait/ wasn't in a hurry. The food was tasty and hearty and came out relatively quickly. The service was slow and we saw multiple staff members waiting around when we were trying to pay our check so we could leave and bike home before it got too dark. We tried requesting wait staff through the app, since they didn't come over when we waved- but that was also not successful. And after waiting for 10+ minutes we were able to get the check to pay. The food was good and I wouldn't be opposed to getting food or eating here again. I just wouldn't come here if I were short on time or in a rush. We were able to pay for Our items separately, since we each placed our order online- so that was nice and kept things simple within our group.

Surprisingly, the normal Dan Dan noodles ("special sesame dry noodle") were quite bad. The beef and tendon noodle soup is not bad, decent for when I was sick. There is a "beef and tendon noodle soup" as well as a "beef only noodle soup" on the menu - you might think the beef only one would be better value and have more meat, I ordered both to see the difference - even though the meat only one does have more meat, the meat is more tough and very hard to chew.

After placing our order, the food came out relatively quick. We ordered 2 beef noodle soups, the works, and 2 beef rolls. Starting off with the beef rolls, these came out cold. I heard that this is what this place was known for. The meat in our rolls wasn't even lukewarm and the pancakes came out super soggy almost like they didn't even try. Please tell me how the pancake look brown and crispy on the outside and still comes out cold and not crispy at all. My nephew even said they weren't crispy and he's 3. The lady told us that the sauce on the inside was salty and that's why they don't give extra and man was she right. 1/5* The beef noodles soup itself flavor wise was good and portion wise it was good for $21, but my noodles had no chew to them at all. I was attempting to pick them up with chopsticks and they would just break into pieces. They do give a decent amount of beef though in this. 2.5/5* for the flavor but don't expect much from the noodles. Same thing went for the works, it was a peanut buttery sauce that the lady claimed wasn't spicy, but my parents noticed that it had a kick to it even though they asked for it not to be spicy. The egg is a nice touch but not too sure if it's worth the price. Noodle consistency was the same as the beef noodle soup. 2.5/5*

    I'm super surprised how good this restaurant is. In general I think Bay Area Chinese food sucks…read morecompared to SoCal and I often drive down to SoCal just because I miss more authentic Chinese food there. However I can honestly say this restaurant is just as good as the best Hunan/Sichuan food from the San Gabriel area. This used to be a different Sichuan dry pot restaurant that was so so and I really haven't gone back since the new one opened up. The name is also really misleading because many Taiwanese restaurant use Grandma as the name. As a foodie this restaurant is legit. It's in a small plaza shared with another Taiwanese restaurant so parking can be difficult but there are plenty of street parking right next to the restaurant. The interior is clean and well organized. The service is prompt and good enough. They ask for reviews but didn't promise some freebie for a semi fake 5 star review which is great. I never leave a good review just for a freebie because my integrity is way more expensive than freebies. The food is phenomenal and authentic in every way. The frogs are tender and the spices are not overwhelming and brings out the flavor of the frog meat just right. The cured pork (pig face meat) is very rare in the states. It's also cured properly to give the authentic hunan flavor. They also mix it with raddish slices which is also rare in most Chinese restaurants here in the states. Even the conch with bamboo shots surprised me in how thin the slices of the conches are. It's also flavored without being too spicy nor too salty. Everything is on point. I do wish they used better white rice but that alone is not enough for me to take off any stars. This is just a wonderful restaurant that's on par with my favorite hunan restaurant in San Gabriel and I'm so glad I found it because I'm sure going to go back every week now.
