    Past 9am on a Tuesday.  Perhaps they should update their posted opening hours??,
    CM P.

    Advertised times for opening says 9am. I was there from 9am to 9:50am. The place was still closed. I'm not sure if they have changed their opening times, but it would be nice to know so people don't waste their time going there. Hours posted on the door say 9am...posted times on Yelp also say 9am. I've had food there before and it was okay...so take it for what it's worth if you plan to go there...

    Came by in the afternoon this past Sunday, and there was a small line at the entrance (inside Lion food center). The wait to order was about 15 minutes with just 4-5 people ahead of me. And I liked observing how they chop up the meats right in front of you. I ordered the roasted duck rice plate for takeout, and it was juicy and delish, a good amount of meat on the bones, and just enough fat to add flavor. But the ratio of rice to meat was way off. They are really generous with the rice, as well as the cabbage. I had a satisfying meal. However, I would never dine in here, even though they have tables and seating inside. The place is just really run down and not very inviting. The cleanliness is questionable. The plastic utensils were cheap and flimsy too. Also, service wasn't the friendliest, though they get the job done to keep the line moving.

    BBQ Pork (Cha Siu)
    Jia M.

    The cha siu was dry and the pieces were huge! I wish they would cut them into smaller pieces. The pork belly wasn't crispy anymore by the time I ate them for dinner, but I think it's still better than the cha siu. There was also a long line at around 1PM on a Saturday. It took us around 20 minutes to order. Keep in mind that they will charge you a service fee if you use credit card to pay.

    Pork bun
    Hope L.

    Came here and was really craving Chinese food. I got the char siu and the roast chicken plate over rice with two pork buns. The food was ready immediately and it was about $20 for all three items. The food was tasty but the portions were a bit small as we got a lot of rice but not that much meat. The roast chicken had a couple of bones in it and had a bit of a rubbery texture but the char siu tasted pretty flavorful. The pork buns were good and curbed my cravings but didn't have enough char siu filling in it. The seating area here wasn't very clean and the tables looked like they weren't cleaned in a while. I think most people take the food to go though so that would make sense. Overall, the food was about a 3.5/5 and the atmosphere of the restaurant was about 2/5.

    Wow I bit into their show my is so delicious you got to try it

    I highly recommend this establishment you could eat there or you could have it to go just like me I had it to go my gosh they're barbecue gross pork was so delicious I can't stop eating it and their pork buns the sesame seed roll and their show my I highly recommend it to everybody to order their food cuz there's is so delicious yes it's a small establishment but it's worth going into their establishment because their food is so delicious I want I've been wanting to taste the dim sum and I finally did this morning and it's absolutely rated 10 not 5 but 10 because of the way they put their tender loving care into their food the way they make it I highly recommend everybody to go and have their dim sum and their food whether it's to go or you could eat there go and try it cuz I I still have some more that I'm going to keep on and on and on eating and not only that I'm coming back for more

    Roasted Duck Rice Plate
    Ivan B.

    This is one of those places to get your lunch. However, you're better off doing a take out rather than dining in because of how bland the atmosphere is. Still boxes at the front. I remember dining here when I was a lot younger. Wasn't really looking bad there at that time. The food was slimy and oily. I consider it below average tbh. It's cheap at the bright side. I highly recommend going to other restaurants if you want to get better quality of duck and chicken.

    Hopefully they will return soon

    Love this place, hopefully they will return soon. Love their BBQ ribs, only place sell it.

    Roast duck

    Located inside Lion Supermarket in Newark. Came on a Sunday around 1pm and there was a long line. It took me 15 minutes to order and I ordered the roast duck and the bbq pork steamed buns (siopao). The roast duck smelled so good , I bought the roast duck for my family and they said it was very delicious. The pork bun was big and tasty. The pork bun is actually cheaper than when I buy from Filipino bakeries and the bread bun is softer. Paid around $34 for the whole roast duck and 3 pork buns and I paid with a credit card. It is a hole in the wall so don't expect fancy tables. Also, it is better to pay cash because they charge 3% processing fee for credit cards.

    Shui mai was hard and the meat was not fresh. No wonder they had buy 3 get 1 free. Credit card add 3% fee.

The portions were generous, the prices very reasonable, the service was to the point, and the food had that comforting, home-style taste you can't find everywhere. The shop itself has that cozy, casual vibe where you know the focus is all about the food. If you're craving authentic Hong Kong-style eats in the East Bay, Mingkee Deli is definitely worth the stop. I'll be back to try more from their menu for sure!

Some chairs were taller than others, carpet needs to be replaced, its in desperate need of a deep cleaning, refresh and remodel. The food was just OK. Some stuff was overcooked and our fish dish and some of the crab was a little under cooked, while some dishes were swimming in oil. Between 8 adults and 2 kids, we had about 9-10 dishes with lots of leftovers (noodles) to take home. Since my mom picked one of the preset menu options, our bill was over $500 for mediocre Chinese food!!! Let's just say, I have no intention of ever coming back.

Food came out fast, portions were generous, and the staff was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It has that old-school, comforting vibe that makes you want to stay and keep eating. If you're looking for quality Chinese comfort food at a good price, this spot is definitely worth it. Will 100% be back.
