    Christine N.

    First Impressions: I've dined in and I've ordered take out. The interior is well lit and clean. Service is mostly great... if you ask for condiments, they will give you a small amount and then look at you funny if you ask for more... maybe it's because I was dining alone and they were judging how much chili crisp I kept asking for lol. The Noms: Congee (plain) - I know this is something I could make at home... but I was feeling nostalgic for it (my mom usually makes this for me when I'm sick or as per request) and I was feeling very homesick. So I did a solo dinner for congee lol. Very good, bit more expensive for a single serving than some other locations I've been too... but I'm ok with that Crispy Chinese dough rice rolls, shrimp rice rolls - very good. Got it on another occasion as a lunch with a friend. Perfectly crisp and rice rolls was well made if a little thick. The next time I ordered had to ask for the sauce on the side because it came drowned in it and it was overly sauced/salty. Pan fried rice noodles - this one is a big disappointment. Had it for dinner with the hubby and we didn't like it. Didn't finish it and didn't take it down home either In Conclusion: would come here again, but only for the congee and the rice rolls. Though you could probably get it elsewhere cheaper... the food was still good and still worth it to me. I've not tried their dim sum items... but I would come back here for the opportunity to try it.

    Came today for lunch and had a good experience. The lai fun noodles is unusual. The way it's cooked is like most Chinese food - a bit greasy if you're used to a little bit lighter foods. But tasty. The clay pot was tasty as well. Very attentive staff.

    This place was super busy on a Sunday. But the authentic food was appreciated. The service was quick and food tasted amazing

    Eating authentic Hong Kong cuisine, that is deliciously flavored, tenderized meats (duck, or steamed short ribs are heavenly), seasoned rice, noodles and soups embraced your palate passionately with intentions to please you endlessly. Located on the UWS of Manhattan, a delightfully fixture in the neighborhood. Service is what Moon Kee does, adding a warm welcome to customers who frequent the restaurant. The atmosphere ambiance is exciting, filled with a soft light that embraces you before you sit down to chow with your chopsticks or flatware to enjoy your meal. A great date, family or buddy night.

    Lots of options!! Roast duck/chicken was very good, I liked how the flavor wasn't too sweet. Claypot rice was also very good. The staff are friendly. There is a large seating area, and it's very casual inside.

    This was the second time we've eaten at the Moon Kee restaurant. We like dining at this restaurant since it's between 100-101 Streets on Broadway and very convenient to Symphony Space. Moon Kee has an extensive menu with dedicated staff and a very large dining room. I explained to our waiter that I had oral surgery recently and preferred to have cold food. To my surprise, they didn't have cold noodles on the menu. However, the owner came over and when I explained my dilemma, he insisted on making me cold sesame noodles! I was very touched that he made me this delicious dish! My friends all had delicious meals and as a result of the owner's kindness, I will definitely be returning again soon!

    D24 Pan Fried Rice Rolls W/Dried Shrimp- $8. Pretty good pan fried cheung fun
    Glenn C.

    Side notes: Rating is for the area only. If this was located in any of the three Chinatowns, I presume the prices would be around half but the quality was good and much better than expected for dim sum especially in this neighborhood. For dim sum, I would recommend the siu mai, pork/shrimp chive dumplings, steamed bean curd roll with pork, and fried turnip cakes the most along with the stuffed long hot pepper if you want something that's spicy. Otherwise, the sauteed spicy string beans were outstanding. I went here with a group a while ago. I was surprised to find a dim sum spot like this on the UWS/in the outskirts of Manhattan Valley. The space is large. We shared the following and I'll note a bit about each as we ordered a lot of dim sum primarily separating them by category ordering them by preference per section. Steamed/Boiled- D2 Signature Pork & Shrimp Sui Mai- $8 for 4. They listed these as their signature and I can see why as this was easily the best. Very plump large sui mai and honestly worth it for the price regardless of area. D16 Steamed Bean Curd Roll With Pork $7. Sold version with tender bean curd and bit of fattiness from the pork. Side note this is also available fried with minced shrimp for $8 (D34.) D1 Crystal Shrimp Dumplings/Har Gow- $8. A bit pricey but a nice thin dumpling wrapper with plump shrimp inside. D12 Steamed Pork & Peanut Fun Guo- $7. Interesting soft texture. Not my favorite as it was a bit blander but I am usually am not the biggest fan of fun guo so take that with a grain of salt. D6 Steamed Spare Rib Tips With Black Bean Sauce- $7. A bit boney as expected and the black bean sauce could have been a bit stronger. Just alright. Fried- D26 Pan Fried Pork & Shrimp Chives Dumplings- $7. Nice flavor from the chives and again with good bouncy shrimp. These were very tasty and my second favorite. D25 Pan Fried Turnip Cakes With Pork- $7. Excellent texture for these. A bit above average. Could have used a bit more pork within the turnip cakes. D31 Stuffed Long Hot Pepper With Minced Shrimp (Spicy-) $8. Surprisingly spicy for a Canto spot. Well flavored with fun textures. D32 Pan Fried Pork Dumplings- $8. Pretty standard and moderately juicy with a pretty good feeling but not as worth it for the price point. D24 Pan Fried Rice Rolls W/Dried Shrimp- $8. Cheung Fun could have been a bit more bouncy but they were decent but a bit pricey compared to most things. Other- V2 Sauteed String Beans in Spicy- $16. Excellent string beans. Perfectly cooked with a bit of char and the pickled veggies were a nice touch. Would highly recommend if you want a veggie side. V1 Poached Choy Sum With Oyster Sauce- $14. Standard version as found in other good Canto spots. Decent portion. E1 Original Clay Pot Rice With Preserved Pork, Duck, and Chinese Sausage $18. Wouldn't recommend their bo zai fan much outside of the amount of preserved meat as there wasn't much duck. The rice while crispy lacked the flavors I expected from this dish. This was a surprisingly tasty Cantonese spot with a couple standouts as noted. I wouldn't mind going back at all and trying more things. Mid 3/upper 3 for the area.

    3 Combo Rice(Choose Three) with soy sauce chicken, duck and bbq pork, and the 4 sauces
    Evelyn F.

    I ordered the 3 combo bbq with rice, choosing the duck, bbq pork and soy sauce chicken, and it came out to $18.42 with tax and the online service charge. I was pleasantly surprised at the portion- it's a lot of meat (and three broccolis to accompany, because sometimes that is the ratio in Chinese meals haha). The skin on the duck wasn't crispy and didn't have a lot of flavor on its own, and the bbq pork was not the sweet red flavor I was expecting, but the soy sauce chicken was well seasoned. It also came with four sauces - the ginger green onion, sweet & sour, soy sauce and chili sauce, which was yummy to eat with. Overall, a satisfying and filling meal, but not necessarily the best done. The man who greeted me at the restaurant was very friendly, and even checked with me to make sure I had an umbrella as I exited, because it was raining outside.

    We visited before the lunch rush, so it was not busy when we arrived. It got lively about the time we left. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with warm welcome immediately by a staff. We got a nice booth seat, and a staff brought us complimentary hot Jasmin tea for us. We ordered a few things to share. One of them was from a Lunch Special Menu, that comes white rice, Vegetable Spring Roll, and choice of a soup. We went with Egg Drop Soup with Sweet Corn. Our choice of the main was Sauteed Bok Choy with Garlic. It had loads of garlic and tasty. The lunch special is a really great deal. Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. The wrapper was shiny, and slightly see-through. Each dumpling holding one large, super plump shrimp inside. It was pretty darn good. Roast Pork Rice Roll. It was really good with pork that is packed with flavor. Pan-Fried Pork & Shrimp Chives Dumpling had a nice crispy top, but still plump and mochi-y. It was satisfying and comforting. Stuffed Eggplant with Mince Shrimp looked interesting, and different from what I expected. In the middle were bits of shrimp, kind of sandwiched between two ends of the eggplant. Not really "stuffed" but it was still really good! Deep Fried Pork & Dry Shrimp Mochi was very crispy, doughy like mochi, with sweet flavor. The filling was juicy and delicious! We had a really nice lunch here. The staffs were very efficient and friendly. We enjoyed every dish we ordered, and the price was great too. We would definitely go back again.

    Gao choi gao  (shrimp and chive dumpling
    C.M. C.

    Long overdue review. I discovered Moon Kee soon after they opened 2 yrs ago. My BFF lives on 103rd so it's just 2 blocks away. I can't believe there is an **authentic** Canto restaurant up here! I grew up in LA, lived in NY for 6 yrs and now in No CA. Yes I'm an ABC, but my husband was born in HK and I know good authentic Chinese food. They even have BBQ meat hanging in the windows and people yelling in Cantonese to each other, haha. Sign of authenticity in a dim sum place. The only "non-authentic" thing? It's very very clean, no food stains on the chairs or tables but I haven't seen the bathrooms (I know I'm risking offending some ppl on here...it's a *joke*). There are always lots of Chinese ppl in here too. I was hungry after flying in from CA and why spend $7 on a ham and cheese croissant heated in a microwave when you can have 3 gao choi gao (shrimp and chive dumpling) cooked fresh for the same price? Look at the size of the shrimp! And you can sit in a clean booth with a/c (it's 90 deg outside). They're really nice and weren't upset that I just ordered $7 worth of food. Very good service. I've been here ~7 times and everything has been excellent. The big test for me in any dim sum place is the wu gok (taro dumpling). Many reputable places have other excellent dishes but their wu gok tastes of ammonia meaning old taro. Or they're really oily. NOT here - they're crisp, made of fresh taro, and not oily at all. The dan tats (egg tarts) are perfect- flaky crisp dough. They just told me they are hand made here and the chef has over 30 yrs experience making dim sum. I told my friend about this place and now her family gets food from here all the time. Someone mentioned the prices- ummm look at where they are. And it's not more than what we spend in SF and some places in NY Chinatown.

    We went on Lunar New Year's day, and it was so busy. The staff was working rigorously to take and deliver orders. The restaurant was packed, but it didn't take us very long to get a table for 5 people (15-20min) at prime dinnertime (~7pm). The food was delicious and prices were decent for the Upper West Side. There were some dim sum options that we wanted to have but were only available on the weekend. It was quite noisy and service was also very slow due to the fact that it was on a major holiday. We had to keep flagging the servers to place our order, get the bill, pay, etc. However, I think this is a good place to get Hong Kong style foods and it's good for groups.

    Singapore Rice Noodle in Curry Favor w. Meat & Shrimp
    Roslyn H.

    One of the best Singaporean curry favor rice noodle I ever had. The large amount of food is good for two meals. The staff members were polite and friendly. Well-decorated and clean. I am a frequent customer for last two years. This is the most authentic Cantonese restaurant on Upper West Side.

    I came here with two friends on a Friday night at 8:30 PM. We made reservations about two weeks…read morebefore and this was the earliest we could get. This restaurant is part of the Chase Sapphire reserve dining credits! We had read reviews and had an idea of what we wanted to get, but also spoke with the waitress on her recommendations and ultimately went with: Pork dumplings Salt & Pepper chicken Tiger shrimp with walnuts Oyster mushroom rice noodles Snow pea shoots I think my favorite was the oyster mushroom rice noodles with steak. The rice noodles were so silky and the flavor was good. The salt and pepper chicken was also super crispy and very juicy and tender on the inside and whatever sauce that came on the side of it is so addicting. The tiger shrimp was also good, though the menu said it came with a romanesco cauliflower, but the dish was served with broccoli. The snow pea shoots are one of my favorite vegetable dishes and, in my opinion, was just a little overcooked and doesn't need the garlic oyster sauce that comes on top. It's such a cute restaurant and you can open the vending machine door and grab a surprise treat on your way out!

We were able to grab a reservation in…read moreadvance and saw some people getting turned away or told they wouldn't be able to be seated until 9PM, so definitely recommend grabbing a reservation for larger groups. Our favorites of the night were the salt and pepper chicken with scallion biscuits (jam was amazing, and the chicken was moist and fried perfectly), the walnut shrimp (super juicy and well-cooked, not too over-sauced), the pot stickers, and the cold sesame noodles which had great chew and a lovely, creamy sauce. The crudo was pretty small and nothing to write home about, and the eggplant and tofu curry were a bit under-seasoned for me. The bowls of rice we got to eat with the side dishes were also pretty mushy, as if the rice hadn't been properly rinsed before it was cooked, which was disappointing at $3 a bowl. Room for improvement! Still definitely a spot I'll recommend to friends looking for interesting takes on Chinese food! Service was attentive and smooth throughout the night, and we got some good suggestions on serving sizes for the group. Left stuffed and satisfied!

    This is a great place for authentic chinese food. There is a bit of wait but we got seated sooner…read morethan we expected. The decor is on point and portions are family style. We started with egg drop soup and calamari. For mains we got sweet and sour pork, stir fried green beans, and crispy noodles with beef. Egg Drop Soup- Deliciously creamy and silky.

Sweet and Sour Pork- Crispy deep-fried pork pieces that were tender and juicy. The sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy. Very tasty. Stir-fried Green Beans- This was wonderfully fresh. You still get a light crunch out of the beans and a garlicky finish. Crispy Noodles with Beef- Noodles were delightfully crisp with a savory sauce. The beef pieces were tender.
