Solid Cantonese food in UWS. No need to travel all the way to Chinatown just for good Cantonese food. I got their: - crispy pork belly (so crispy and perfectly salty) - sweet and sour pork lunch special (this is my mom's guilty please, her only qualm is more pineapples please) - daikon & beef tripe dim sum (weekends only, good value -- lots of tripe!) Service is good and staff are nice. Modern asian ambiance, not your typical rundown or traditional decor; feels hip and clean. They got carts on weekends. Highly recommend if you're craving some traditional Cantonese in UWS! read more

Scallion pancake tasted like old broken-down cooking oil - inedible. The crispy sesame beef was awful as well chunks of tough beef with a crispy coating the had mostly fallen off that had also tasted of old cooking oil. The only reason you got 2 stars was because the broccoli was perfect. Go figure. read more

Was leaving the city and I thought the area I was driving through had a lot of restaurants and parking looked easy to find, The first place I saw was this, I ordered the beef chow foon and the pea pod leaves Both were excellent and fresh The servers were friendly as we were leaving it was getting busy and they seemed to have a lot of regulars read more

My uncle lives nearby, so I suggested this spot for dinner. (He loves Chinese food, so he was game!) The food was great and service was attentive. It was a bit sad to see that there weren't many customers on a weekday night, especially given that the food was pretty good. The interior isn't really giving date-night, and it's pretty bare interior-design-wise. It is family-friendly and can certainly accommodate larger groups. read more

We had recently placed a very large order for delivery. For the most part, the food was acceptable. Not great, but OK. Then yesterday we called for a delivery of 3 large containers of cj\hicken congee. The order didn't arrive as expected. There was virtually no chicken, only bones, in the soup. When we called to complain, we were treated very rudely by management. They finally told us they would replace two containers, but they never sent them out to us. We had good expectations for this restaurant, but we find they're not worth our time or money. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've always passed by Moon Kee and one day had to fulfill my cravings for dimsum, so glad I dropped by to try their dishes! Friend of mine is a little more familiar with the cuisine so I entrusted our order to her and we got the following: Crystal shrimp dumpling (5/5): now this is saying something because I'm not the biggest fan of shrimp, but these dumplings were so juicy and savory, without having the heaviness or doughiness of other dumplings Pan fried turnip cake with pork (3.5/5): personally not my cup of tea, but my friend loves turnip cake and I was down to give it a try. It's also very savory/umami-y, goes well with the dipping sauces, and I'd say the texture is on the thicker side - I'm not quite sure how to describe the taste, but overall an interesting experience. Chicken chow-fun (4.5/5): I love this wide (rice?) noodle that they use, reminds me of pad see ew with the hints of soy but with chicken. It also had bean sprouts (or mung beans? one of the two), green onions (or scallions? gah I get so confused), and onions. I'm a glutton for vegetables, so I wish it had more variety of veggies but nonetheless still really enjoyed this dish and would definitely get it again! They were honestly quite busy on a weekday afternoon, but service was super sweet and loved the overall vibes inside, would love to come again! read more

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. read more

Had a stomach bug and really needed a congee. Sadly no places in upper Manhattan that has congee other than this spot turns out. Ordered delivery about 15 streets away and was asked a higher tip, we said absolutely! We got congee and a lunch special. It was so affordable and tasted great. Good quality ingredients and authentic congee taste. read more

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! read more

Best dim sum in the area. Great for eating in or taking out. Affordable lunch specials. read more

Had a solid experience on Christmas (minus horrendous service, but what do you expect on a Chinese restaurant's busiest day), but a terrible one ordering in delivery. I ordered in some rice rolls and the soy sauce chicken with rice dish. The rice rolls were minuscule and the shrimp ones not fully deveined. The real problem was the soy sauce chicken. This was the most flavorless dish I've ever ordered from a Chinese spot. Dry as can be and no sauce could save it. Might return, but only for dim sum. read more

Amazing Chinese food! The shredded pork and preserved egg congee was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. The roasted duck was juicy with a delicious crispy skin, and the crispy pork was perfectly seasoned and crunchy. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Great food and definitely a place I'll come back to! read more

I ordered the food for to go which was Hong Kong Noodle and Shrimp Fried Rice. I chose the roasted pork and wonton with the noodle. The portion was pretty big for the fried rice. The noodle and fried rice were ok. For me, the noodle was a bit too salty (maybe too much msg?). Next time I wanna try their dimsum especially on weekend, I heard they have the dimsum service cart. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Moon Kee - 3 Combo Rice(Choose Three) with soy sauce chicken, duck and bbq pork, and the 4 sauces - Cantonese Near Me - New York, New York

Horrible, predatory customer service. I dined here on July 8, 2026, around 6:30 PM. After paying, I left a tip. The server actually handed my tip back to me and proceeded to publicly humiliate and harass me in front of the entire restaurant because he wanted a higher "suggested" amount. Tipping is a voluntary reward for service, not a mandatory fee you can bully customers into paying. Screaming at and shaming customers over an optional gratuity is completely unacceptable. I have filed an official consumer complaint with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP). I am uploading my receipt to prove this happened. Avoid this place unless you want to be harassed and publicly shaken down for extra cash. read more

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. read more

Sadly, updating to 3 stars after getting delivery here and the experience being subpar. The shrimp rice rolls were meh - the shrimp wasn't fully deveined which grossed me out. The roast pork/soy chicken rice bowl was terrible. Extremely dry meats with little to no taste. The day after, my stomach was upset and clearly something didn't sit right with me. read more

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. read more

Our order is for takeout only. Moon Kee is an excellent delivery choice - they are fast, well packed, correctly filled and often, still piping hot. I love the soup dumplings, the steamed pork bun and the chicken feet. The shrimp wonton soup is good - I wish there was an option for more broth. Check out the lunch specials - great choices. I like the salt and pepper fish - the calamari is good but can be chewy. The veggie choices are oversauced or too spicy- so I just bite the bullet and get the entries - usually the snow pea leaves or the mushrooms. Moon Kee is good with the classics: chow fun, chix broccoli, hot and sour, crispy duck, moo sho anything. Most of the dumplings are good-including chive shrimp. The one miss was claypot rice which was truly awful. Maybe it doesn't survive the takeout process. read more

Four of us had dinner there tonight and were disappointed with every dish we ordered - and we had quite a sampling. Nothing pleased us except the dessert sesame rolls. The service was offhanded, at times unpleasant. I would not recommend this place. read more

I never ate in the restaurant but we (my co-workers/friends) order from there a lot. I found this place because we wanted dim sum. The dim sum is very sooooo good. The Singapore noodles my co worker enjoyed. The meats over rice is excellent. Especially the duck. We usual have a big order. It usually comes within the half hour and arrives hot. This is our favorite place. Even my friend and co-worker whom was born and raised in Hong Kong China loves it. He goes back home to see his mother every year. read more

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. read more

Pretty legit dim sum for the upper west side, even though we were the only Chinese customers in the entire restaurant (and yeah, the clientele was almost exclusively non-Asian throughout our dining experience, which might be due to our area). The staff do speak Cantonese at least, and of course, enough English. Quite spacious inside, and room for about 70-80 people with booths and tables; the tables do get crowded because of all the food and unfortunately, they don't have lazy susans for the round table. The interior is fairly fancy and clean. If you're new to ordering dim sum, you can order from the menu, or from the carts that roll around. Don't be shy about asking what everything is, or ordering in bulk! Food-wise, though it's authentic, it's not as flavorful or tasty as Chinatown or Flushing, and can't hold a candle to what I'm used to back in SF. It's all quite fresh though. I'd recommend the cha siu bo lo baos (pineapple topping bun with bbq pork filling inside) and the clay pot rice, which contains foong jao (chicken feet), pai guat (sparerib), egg, and American broccoli - don't forget to eat the scorched rice at the bottom! Overall, I'd definitely go back again. They even serve won ton mein (dumpling noodle). read more

Uptown Dim Sum on a snowy day! Does not get better at Moon Kee Location: Along Broadway in the upper upper west side, there are two dim sum places along with Dim Sum Bloom, we choose this location because it opened earlier. We got a blue booth in the back which was very spacious. I like the modern design. The owner/manager was very welcoming and told us how we should enjoy the snow since it is has been so long since it snowed last. He was not wrong on this point and appreciated his candor. Food: Pork Mochi steamed bun/dumplings were a winner for me. The eggplant shrimp fried item was also tasty and unique. Since it was a weekday lunch time, we ordered the bokchoy which came with rice and egg drop soup. We also had some other dumplings steamed and fried. I loved all of the food. Service: The service is quick and efficient. They were attentive and quick to served the whole time. They were super friendly too. Overall: If I don't want to go downtown or to Flushing, Moon Kee is a solid option. Kudos to the staff and manager. read more

Food 7/10 Recently opened, a decent dimsum spot in the UWS. Nothing mindblowing and bao zi buns were definitely frozen before. We got the duck clay pot 煲仔饭, snow peas 豆苗, and for dimsum, the salted egg yolk bun 流沙包, roasted pork bun 叉烧包, and the shrimp rice rolls 肠粉. The salted egg yolk bun is always fire.

We went to Moon Kee on Christmas evening. It was madness. Dozens of people waiting for a seat, and a dozen delivery guys waiting impatiently for orders. Every seat was occupied. I gotta say, the four waiters working that night deserved a good tip. The food was very good.

It's great to see a cart dim sum place in the UWS. I believe they only do it on the weekends though. In terms of food, I think it's pretty darn good. It hit my dim sum spot, and I even felt the need to take a post dim sum nap. I can't stress enough how happy I am to have a dim sum place like this in the area. I highly recommend. I think it's better than Jing fong. It's a shame Jing fong had to downsize during covid. They used to be the best dim sum spot when they were in Chinatown. read more

They are pumping out orders and takeout orders here! Service was extremely quick! Honestly the food just seemed to be lacking a deep flavor for a lot of the stuff. The broth felt old and had no flavor while the fuck and wontons were just bland. The noodles didn't wow me either. Didn't take a picture but the soup dumplings were fine, with the black vinegar it made them significantly better. Super cheap for what we got just didn't blow me away! read more

The past few years have been good to the Upper West Side with a big uptick in restaurant openings and far more options across a lot of cuisine. I'm from the Bay Area and was spoiled with fantastic options across the price spectrum for Hunanese, Cantonese, Sichuanese and beyond just within walking distance, which is certainly possible in some parts of NYC too but UWS spots are not always as easy to come by. There have been a few very good new Chinese spots, both dim sum and Szechuan in the 90s or 100s but when I saw Moon Kee I had to give it a try because I'm a sucker for Cantonese/HK style and boy... it delivers and then some! This may be the best Chinese, regardless of regional preference in terms of pure excellence, I've ever had. The "authentic beef chow fun" is absolutely unbelievable, it's not a dish I normally order but gave it a shot because it was so popular and WOW. Fantastic, will be back and soon. read more
