My friend told me about MingKee for the rice rolls and wow he was right. The thinnest and lightest rice rolls I've had in the South Bay. It's such a comforting and warm meal. Filled with my favorites I can't even compare the taste and quality. It's also such an affordable meal, if you're looking for something that gives you a warm hug Mingkee is the place to go. I hope to return soon and eat more yummy rice rolls and congee. read more

MingKee Deli - price as of 4/18/26 - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

We first came when they were in grand opening and were really not very impressed with the texture of their rice rolls... we recently decided to give them another shot. Glad we did! They have reformulated their rice roll to have a better texture (though perhaps less "authentic" by using more than just rice). We tried a variety of food (chicken wings, rice noodles, steamed lotus rice, dim sum) and enjoyed it all. The only item we don't recommend is the porridge because it is too watery and rice too separated for our liking (but if that is the style of porridge you like, then you'll probably like it). They have also partnered with Local Cafe (next door) and BZZ Claypot to offer a (digital) gift card with bonus amounts. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

MingKee Deli - Ming Kee is the best place for Chinese families! - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

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. read more

Love steaming rice roll? -- A traditional guangdong food, this is the place to go. Its steam rice rolls are freshly made, and it has authentic guangdong cuisine flavor -- light and tasty. To order food, just like other places, scan bar code on the table to order. Inside place it is a clean and neat , feels like a street snack place. The service is fast and good. And my kids both enjoy the shrimp rice roll and the sauce is pretty good as well. If you crave for guangdong style porridge, this is a good place to fill that desire. But the Chinese donut is not recommended, it does not taste freshly made. Other than that, so far no disappointed orders. Also its prices are relatively affordable or worthy. The place meant for Guangdong style fast food. So no fancy service , but great quality lunch or dinner place for friends and family. read more

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. read more

The chain from China specializes in rice rolls & porridge! Their rice rolls were filled with shrimp and meat. The noodles were silky and covered in their delicious sauce. The lettuce with oyster sauce was the perfect light veg side. I wasn't the biggest fan of the porridge. I've had more flavorful chicken congee elsewhere. Regardless, I will be back for more rice rolls! Beef Rice Noodle Roll - $8.70 Shrimp rice noodle roll - $8.70 Lettuce with Oyster Sauce - $9.20 Chicken and Cordyceps Flower Porridge - $10.20 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The restaurant itself is really small. We could not even enter the place for a few minutes because their register is right by the entrance and someone was paying. We were asked how many and got pointed to a table. We ordered 3 items the char siu rice roll, beef brisket rice roll, and the siu mai. All were really bad. Their rice rolls aren't smooth at all. It is very wrinkly and chewier than the ones at dimsum restaurants. Also the taste of batter was really off as it tasted more like the Vietnamese rice rolls than Chinese. The char siu did not taste fresh either. The brisket was okay but was not a fan of the sauce they drowned it in. The siu mai was the worst siu mai I've ever had. The meat tasted overly mushroomy and had a very strange almost rotten-like taste to it. I could only eat 2 bites out of all 4. Service was pretty nonexistent the whole time. Would definitely pass on this place because there isn't any redeeming factor at all. read more

I remember we came here quite awhile back when they first opened at this location. I recall it being good but also super crowded. With that impression, when the wifey suggested coming here again I was a bit apprehensive. To my surprise, there were plenty of open tables. It wasn't empty, but no wait at all. We ordered the sampan porridge, a couple of rice noodles (shrimp and beef) and the fried turnip cake with XO sauce. All the dishes were super tasty. The kids loved the rice rolls. I thought the porridge and turnip cake were really well done as well. Feels on par with what you'd get in Hong Kong. Now that I know they're not always super busy, I'm looking forward to coming more often. read more

We stumbled upon this spot on a rainy day, such a perfect congee spot. We ordered the XO turnip cakes, gailan and their signature congees. Keep in mind some of the congees have liver. The interior is not very large, max 30-48 ish people capacity. They don't use any formal waitlist but the queue was very efficient with just two aunties on staff Our congee was excellent and so was the gailan --- the turnip cakes was also pretty epic read more

I love this Chinese restaurant especially their rice rolls and their dessert! Its always my must gets. This is a some what small restaurant with less than 20 tables, so sometimes you would need to wait in line, but totally worth! Or they have take out options available as well. Parking here isnt that big of an issue since they have a huge parking lot out front. The speed they serve their food is also pretty fast. In my opinion this is the best chung fen place in the bay. Totally worth a try! read more

Ordered three types of rice noodle rolls: Buddha's Delight Rice Noodle Rolls, Fish Rice Noodle Rolls, and Shrimp & Beef Rice Noodle Rolls. The rice noodle sheets didn't suit my taste--they lacked elasticity and didn't look appealing. The Buddha's Delight Rice Noodle Rolls, a vegetarian option, were very plain and bland--not recommended. The Fish Rice Noodle Rolls had nice fish slices that were crisp, smooth, and refreshing. As for the Shrimp & Beef Rice Noodle Rolls, both the shrimp and beef were too light in flavor. The Beef, Shrimp, and Pork Liver Porridge was quite good. The porridge was thick and creamy, with tender shrimp and pork liver. The best dish was the dessert, Milk Pudding. It was rich in milky flavor, smooth and delicate, sweet but not overly so--highly recommended. read more

The House Special Beef Brisket exceeded our expectations 100+++!! It was tender, flavorful, had all the right spices like star anise. It basically melted in my mouth. This is probably one of the best beef brisket I've had in a long while. Its too bad the dish is so small. I'd buy 3 of those and slap some noodles on top and it'll be the ULTIMATE beef brisket noodle dish. Yum. The plain noodles were fresh and so silky. It went well with the sauce. The turnip cake was also freshly made, tender inside and crispy on the outside just the way it should be. This dish reminded me of my Grandma. read more

Highlights: & Open on Thanksgiving Day & No frills ambiance & Delicious food, esp. congee & Asian standard for service Service: This is a more authentic Asian restaurant, so the service is calibrated to the standard of service for Asia. They don't proactively check to ask how you're doing every ten minutes. But if you wave them, they come over when they can. With that calibration in mind, I thought the service was good considering that they were being overrun with customers as Thanksgiving progressed. Parking: Easy, there's a big lot outside. It's shared by other establishments, but I can't imagine parking spots not being available. The lot was relatively big. read more

Been looking for Youtiao forever! My partner found this restaurant Sunday afternoon, so we checked it out. He was craving the shrimp in rice paper which they also served. So we ordered that, the youtiao's, siu mai & the braised short rib rice plate. & I when I tell you are cravings were satisfied, it was satisfied to the tee. The shrimp in rice baby was cooked so well, & the soy sauce was light! The youtiaos nice crispy but soft & not as salty. I also love how small and cute this restaurant is. A few items & they just do it right. We didn't wait long for our orders either. Took a good 5mins after we entered our orders in. Def will come back when I want some Chinese donuts lol read more

Stopped by here for a late Thursday night to-go order. The restaurant wasn't too busy, but still had some customers despite the day and time (830PM). Parking was super easy. The good: Preserved Egg and Pork Porridge. The had a great texture and good flavor. I would come back just for this if I'm ever in the area and craving porridge/ congee. I would skip the rice rolls. I ordered the Pork Live Rice Noodle Roll and Egg Rice Noodle Roll. The texture and bite of the rice noodles just wasn't that great.

Omg I honestly don't know why the rating here is so low! This is the most authentic Cantonese food I've had in the Bay Area - it tastes exactly like what I've had in Guangzhou. * Fresh rice rolls - the wrap is thin and silky, just like traditional Cantonese cheung fun should be. (I saw some reviews saying they're thick, but honestly these are perfect and super authentic.) * Porridge (jook) - perfectly cooked, smooth and flavorful. I haven't had porridge this good in ages! * Daily soup - every true Cantonese knows you need a nourishing soup with your meal, and theirs is spot on. The 海底川贝乌鸡龙骨汤 (sea coconut, fritillaria, black chicken & pork bone soup) is soooo good - deeply flavorful, nourishing, and exactly like the ones my mom makes at home. The service was also excellent. I kept adding and changing things last minute, and they were so nice and accommodating about it. Plus, the tables and chairs were clean and comfortable - a detail I really appreciate. This place definitely deserves a much higher rating. If you're looking for authentic Cantonese comfort food, this is the spot. Highly recommend! read more

I'm not sure why I'd never known about or been introduced to this place before. It's a little dine-in or take-out of Chinese breakfast and/or under-the-weather comfort food that is really quite good. It'd been a while since I had some simple comfort food, and some good ole porridge and fried Chinese donuts popped into mind, so the family we were visiting immediately recommended this place. We ordered the Sampan porridge, pork and preserved egg porridge, fried Chinese donuts, curry fish balls, shrimp rice rolls, and the pan fried turnip cake. Wow....everything tasted so good, so comforting, and so like what you'd find in Asia.....and everything was prepared fresh, piping hot, and delicious! I particularly enjoyed the pan fried turnip cake with its nicely crisped top and bottom layers.....goes great with some chilli sauce. The rice rolls here are just the way I like them too....the skin is soft, super thin, and almost transparent....versus those really thick and heavy ones you find with rice rolls at most regular dim sum restaurants.... and the shrimp inside very fresh, perfectly plump, and juicy. As for the porridge, ok, I ordered the Sampan because I thought it was seafood, but it turned out to have bits of intestines, pork, etc.....not for me, so I just dug around all these porky bits. Other than that, the porridge had the perfect texture that reminded me of my younger days in Asia. Delicious...and oh so comforting. The reason I had to knock off a star is because I don't like their ordering system. As soon as you walk in the door, and before you even get seated, you need to place your order and pay for it at the cashier counter first. Then, if during the meal, you feel like adding more menu items to your meal, it really becomes a hassle. They basically discourage you from ordering more just so that they can get you in and out fast, so that the next waiting customers can get seated asap. Oh well. read more

My throat was feel scratchy and I felt like I wanted something warm. So stopped by to get some porridge with my gf. The line was longer than expected, roughly 5 parties. Mostly because there aren't that many tables. The store is pretty small and there's barely enough walking space. Service was fast but they didn't tidy up food for us. About average service. The rice roll didn't have a lot of meat; it was very much mostly rice. Good flavor and texture though. The porridge was great- very warm and filling (one portion == 2 ppl!). Definitely felt like a homey meal. Will stop by again if my throat needs warming! read more
