Wing Kee is an OG spot for Cantonese BBQ. I got the roast pork and roast duck with rice for only $16, and the value was great. The food was flavorful, especially the roast duck. I will say the food seemed better when I previously visited with a Chinese friend, but it was still good overall. The staff mainly spoke Chinese with limited English, so service was pretty straightforward. Still a solid spot if you want authentic BBQ at a good price. read more

Wing Kee - Cantonese Near Me - Houston, Texas

My friend's parents took us to Wing Kee for lunch #2 this past Saturday. We ate so well here because we ordered much more food than we could possibly consume for the 5 of us and the food was just so good. Also, the service is phenomenal, but we also speak Cantonese. D5. 化皮燒肉 ROAST PORK If you ran a knife across the roast pork skin, you would hear the perfect crisp crackle. Each order comes with an appetizer-sized plate of roasted pork belly. The crunch on the skin was phenomenal, like a dense and crispy chip. Imagine if they made snacks out of crispy pork skin. The ratio of fat and lean pork meat was perfect, so juicy and rich, yet soft and tender. The roast pork is phenomenal. We loved it. D1. 燒鴨 ROAST DUCK The roast duck skin was flavorful and juicy, complemented by the tender duck that was fresh. The soy sauce-based marinade was delicious, and this is a classic Cantonese BBQ option that you cannot go wrong with. K15. 港式咕噜肉 SWEET & SOUR PORK HONG KONG STYLE This isn't my favorite dish, but the pork was crispy and held a lot of the sweet and sour sauce. I enjoyed it, but it pales in comparison to the others. Still, another safe Cantonese classic that I would recommend. P6. 鞋菌豆腐煲 TO-FU W. MIXED MUSHROOM IN CLAY POT They served it to us in a glass plate, but it was still delicious. Arguably, I think this was my favorite out of all the dishes because of how simple it is, and it's full of mushrooms and vegetables! There was a strong "wok hay" flavor, and the fried egg tofu were hot (it burned the roof of my mouth, but I did not care), soft, and incredibly jiggly. I loved the mushrooms and vegetables which was braised with the sauce. Big yum all around, this one hit home and one of my go-tos. F2. 菜炒牛肉炒河 SAUTEED FLAT RICE NOODLE W. BEEF & VEGETABLE Not a single vegetable in sight, unless you count the green onions and bean sprouts. This is probably one of the most well-known Cantonese classics with its strong "wok hay" flavor. The rice noodles had the perfect texture and there was a generous amount of beef stir-fried in. While it's many people's favorites, it's always a bit too oily that I would like (and that oil is almost necessary for good flavor). I recommend it if you want a safe staple, but I would encourage trying something else. We basically ordered the Cantonese classics and it was so delicious and more than what the 5 of us could finish. I highly recommend this restaurant for Cantonese food. The interior is your typical mom-and-pop restaurant, 80's/90's-style decor. It's not fancy, but the food is exceptional. read more

I've been coming here for a while for their BBQ and Cantonese food and it's been good and consistent - until recently. Something changed. Today we got take out. First of all, prices increased. For 2 BBQ dishes + 1 shrimp + 1 veggie, the bill was $115. I was shocked. On top of that, the waitress insisted on a tip - no wait 18% tip for take out! She got mad bc she said she still took my order. I am really tired of tipping etiquette becoming completely an entitlement. read more

Wing Kee - Check out the phone at our table. So distracting as we ate. - Cantonese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I flew from California to Houston . I went to Wing Kee Restaurant to try their food. I ordered Snow Peas vegetables with garlic. The vegetables were old and chewy. I couldn't even swallow them. I had to spit them out onto a napkin which required me to remove the thicker stems which were hard and chewy. I complained with the waitress about it. She told me that I should come on Wednesday instead of Friday because the vegetables are younger and fresher. I also ordered a crispy sea food chowmein noodles. They were so bland and had no taste. Next, I ordered roast pig. The roast pig is ok. Not bad. When I ordered the roast pig, along with the 2 additional dishes so I can eat at table, the waitress told me that I can not eat the roast pig there and was told that the roast pig only for take out. I complained to the manager and he told me that the waitress didn't know. No apology at all. When I left, I didn't want to give any tips. The waitress asked me for the tip so I told her the food and the service were bad so no tip. read more

A small Cantonese restaurant that serves big portions of food for sharing. The sweet and sour pork was a little hard but tasted good. The wonton noodles were ok. Soup was Hong Kong style but the wonton skin was a little thick. The sautéed flat rice noodle with beef and egg was not too bad. Silky egg combined the beef and flat rice noodles together. Generally all the food was a little salty for me. Service was fast and great though. read more

I hate that I have to write this review as I have enjoyed their food in the past. I order takeout this weekend and midway through eating out food we found a piece of hair in our food. Hair alone I can live with but a few bites later (what can I say we were hungry) we found a bug. Overall, I may still come back for their roast meats as I can closely inspect the food I get but this incident pretty much turned me off to this place. read more

This is the worst place I have ever known and never happened in my life, the first and last time I have been here. I called to order a roast duck and left my phone number, I and the person who received my call agreed to make an appointment in 10-15 minutes I would be there, 10 minutes later I came and they told me that they were out of ducks and could not sell them to me because they were out of ducks. Arguing, they said they were afraid that I wouldn't come to get it, so they sold it to someone else. Bad experience and definitely never come back, trading like you sooner or later will not be able to develop more. read more

I ordered take out and my fiancé went in to pick up the food so I'm not sure how it looks like inside. We were recommended to get BBQ from a friend. When called to place an order we were told they didn't have any BBQ pork left so we went ahead and just ordered a whole duck. When my fiancé went in to pick up the food he saw a HUGE pan of BBQ pork so he once again asked to order a pound, this time since it was out they then said they have it. Even ordering a whole duck they were able to fit it into 1 container, but only provided enough sauce for half a duck. Since I was visiting I'm not sure if that's the norm in Houston. The BBQ pork was flavorful but the duck wasn't as good. I've had better ones from many other places. The duck tasted more on the bland side even with the sauce. read more

We ordered 7 dishes and overall they are pretty good. The only complaint is the server has no customer service; she comes in and out of our table like a storm, taken out bowls, plates and empty dishes with no courtesy. And one more thing, they suggested a 20% tip! read more

Hole in the wall but amazing food. Service is norm you'll find across the whole china town. --Roasted Pork (5/5) - Has got to be the crunchiest I've ever had. The skin is almost like a cracklin! --Roasted Duck (4/5) - Also very flavorful but it's more on the soggy side because of the sauce drenched but still good. --Green Beans with Pork (5/5) - Very flavorful and crunch also had dried shrimps that are minced very fine in it. (For you that don't like the strong shrimp aroma) --Scrambled Egg and Shrimp (5/5) - Basic but sooo good! I love the softness and fluffy of the eggs. --Salt and Pepper Squid (3.5/5) - I've had better elsewhere but it was drenched in oil and so I couldn't tell if it was the squid that was super soft inside or just a lot of oil. I would probably pass on this next time. It also had an aftertaste I couldn't put my finger on it. I've been here twice this month and I am grateful to have found you! read more

Wing Kee - Cantonese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here for the famous roast pork and was in no way disappointed - it easily lives up to the hype in my eyes. I have no idea how they get the skin so crispy while the meat is so tender and juicy...pure magic. Since we felt a little guilty about just eating tons of pork for our meal, we switched it up for a few items and ordered their beef flat noodles and crispy tofu. Everything was excellent and served family style so it was easy to try a variety of items. Their menu is huge so it should not be hard to find something to satisfy everyone in your party. I cannot wait to come back to get my pork fix again in the future! read more

The roast pig they sell till run out but the people who frequent here knows to come here at 12:00 take it to go and leave. Obviously they run out after 2 or 3 pm. When I came here the frequents know what time their stuff comes out and form an automatic queue. Even Alief police knows when to come get their take out. I came here again at 6:15 and the waitress basically looked at me when I ordered bbq meats that o should know better??? Good place for roast pork and char siu but hard for me to get there at the magical time. read more

Crispiest roast pork belly in town. Went there specifically to eat that and it did not disappoint

Wing Kee has always been a Houstonian favorite and is widely considered one of the best authentic Cantonese cuisine available. The chinese BBQ is always on point, particularly its char sui and roast pork. Always crispy to the taste and the savory flavors hit home. Our party got green onion/ginger crab served of pan fried noodles and was absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself feels very cramped and with tile floors and walls, this place gets LOUD during lunch/dinner with all the sounds bouncing around. The auntie waitresses are exactly that, not too focused on politeness and service minded, but definitely efficient in they do. Expect masked up faces and barely able to hear them speak. Wing Kee's food is its strong focal point, its relatively sparkly clean for an asian restaurant in chinatown and the reputation lives up to its hype. read more

The best roast pork! How do they do it?! I also ordered the flat noodles with beef and broccoli, salt and pepper squid, and crispy tofu with seafood. Everything was so good and tender! It was cold AF inside, maybe that's why the food is so good. read more

When it comes to Chinese BBQ, my heart... errr I mean, stomach, will always belong to "Long Sing" (which is now "Siu Lap City" in midtown). With that said however, Wing Kee has climbed its ranks on my list through several years of consistency and good quality. I hope they keep it this way too! I give high recognition for the following items: 1. Chinese Crispy BBQ Pork (Siu Yuk) - The skin is always SUPER crispy and crunchy. The meat is well seasoned, moist, and tender. That bit of fat between the meat and crispy skin... worth it. The rest of their Chinese BBQ meats are good here too, but this one really stands out among their local competitors. You just can't get the same amount of crunch when you bite into their roasted crispy pork skin. 2. Salt and pepper fried squid - It's so good! It's my favorite fried squid dish in China Town. Confucius used to be great, but lately it's been under seasoned. R House is ok, but it's not as crispy. Crown Seafood is delicious, but I have to say, Wing Kee beats them all. We have been ordering this dish from them for a good while and it's never been a let down for us. Goes perfectly with just steamed white rice. 3. Gai Lan with Beef stir fry - This is a really simple dish but it brings balance to the entire set of entrees to pick on. You get super tender beef that is not overly salted or seasoned, over a bed of healthy greens (Gai Lan). To me, the flavor is a welcoming reminder that there are no limits to a palate - the flavor is by far not extreme on any side of the spectrum... it just has a simple home flavor and it tastes good. As of 2020, the price here has remained fair. They offer lunch specials (smaller portions) or their normal menu. Nothing fancy. If there was a term for "Chinese Soul Food", then Chinese BBQ should definitely be in that category. Wing Kee is definitely onboard that train too. I noticed that many fine Chinese staples change over time. Not sure if it's because of new management or new chefs, but I really hope Wing Kee stays this way for a long long time. read more

Wing Kee - Roast Pork, house special chicken, spicy salt toasted squid - Cantonese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Probably the best cantonese style restaurant in town. Yep, I said it. This is a small restaurant tucked into a center off of Bellaire and Wilcrest. There are maybe a maximum of two servers at any one time and it offers a nice cozy feeling. They have a nice selection of lunch specials on the weekdays and the portion sizes are quite nice. My go to is usually one of the many variations of fried rice (salted fish with chicken, chinese brocolli with sausage, etc.), chow fun with chinese brocolli and beef, or house special chow mein (topped with a mix of shrimp, chicken, fish, and veggies). If you want a dish to go with rice, try the salt and pepper squid. This comes with sauteed green onions and jalapenos. They also have a little area that serves fresh chinese bbq: roast pork, roast duck, and char sui. They make the roast pork in house and it is some of the very best in town. Super crispy and moist. Stop by on a weekday and take advantage of the lunch specials. You can try lots of dishes and won't break the bank. read more

My mom is obsessed with this place so when I flew down to visit this time around, she kept pressing me to try it. I let her take over and order since she's a local and it's her favorite spot. We got a pound of bbq pork char siu and a whole duck. The char siu was my favorite. It had the right depth of flavor and good lean-to-fat ratio. The texture was the elasticity I was looking for and not at all dry. It was a little too well-glazed as it was on the sweeter side (if you look at my picture of the char siu, the sauce is mostly glaze). My impression of the duck was the most unexpected - all the other ducks in the area have disappointed me but this one met my standards. It had crispy skin and the meat was savory enough without the accompanying soy sauce, and most importantly, it was not gamey. The chef cut up a whole duck for us straight out of the oven (the bird was so piping hot that steam came out as the knife went in). He's a real MVP for holding that duck like pain receptors in his hands don't exist (that's how you know if an Asian chef is a pro - when heat/burns feel like nothing to them). I have no complaints about the duck except it was slightly undercooked. The chef should have allowed the duck to rest prior to cutting. Resting is often overlooked but it's actually a crucial part of the cooking process (it doesn't just apply to steak). This is because when you rest meat, it continues to cook... which is why the ducks hanging on display for hours were fully cooked whereas the one he gave me fresh out the oven wasn't. Having tried four other popular Cantonese bbq spots in Houston, Wing Kee surpasses the bar previously set by all the other bbq restaurants I've tried. I say this with confidence as their meats can compete with what you can find in NYC's Chinatowns. Fun fact for non-NYC locals: we actually have three major chinatowns (plus a handful of smaller, scattered chinatowns) -- not just one -- imagine the food options! read more

Despite the strong community of Cantos in Houston, I've always felt the cuisine was underrepresented in one of the largest Chinatowns in the US. Wing Kee (新榮記) came onto the scene late last year and made some initial noise for their take simple take on Cantonese comfort food. The few times I've gone, it's been pretty empty. The ambiance isn't much to write home about but the layout is just right for small to medium sized groups. Items on the menu are listed in both Chinese, Vietnamese, and English, which is just right for the makeup in the area. Some photos would probably be helpful for first timers. Their lunch specials are a great way to start. For less than $6, one can choose a myriad of dishes ranging from beef and seafood options. The value is excellent and the portions are solid. Go slightly bigger with the house specials which are $6.25 and up. Food wise, they've gotten better over time. Initially they weren't doing the best job seasoning their food but they've managed to figure things out. The variety has gotten better as well, as they've expanded their menu and now offer a decent selection of Cantonese BBQ (#siuyuk). Their baked dishes over rice, roast duck + other canto roast meats, scrambled eggs with shrimp, beef brisket anything and fried rice dishes have yielded the best results so far. I haven't been so thrilled with their take on mapo tofu, many of their fried noodle dishes, blackbean clams, claypot rice, or soya chicken. Service has been good so far. Like the food, they've improved since the opening. Regarding their overall operation, I am hoping it's an upward trend from here. read more

Do NOT eat here. Go elsewhere! Anywhere is better. I ordered takeout today. Two rice plates before my long drive home. One was a combo duck and roast pork plate and the a roast pork plate. Once I got home, i opened up the boxes, and they literally gave me scrap bone pieces for the duck and barely any roast pork. I attached the picture of the meat before I reheated it when i got home. They're more expensive than other places in chinatown too. I would definitely not recommend them. Completely NOT worth it! read more

Can't say I've ever been to this place physically but I've ordered delivery many times. Their roasted duck noodle soup is so flavorful and the meat is so fresh and not skimpy or fatty. Also ordered the roasted pork or lechon which this place is one of my 2 favorite places that serves it the best. So moist, clean cut, with that crispy skin. I will definitely have to try other things on the menu. Bok choy with shitaki mushrooms are yum. Soy chicken is moist and flavourful as well.

I personally don't like it. Flys were flying around front desk. I ordered the duck, tasted ok but too hairy( wasn't clean all the feather)

My sister waited 15 minutes at the table and was completely ignored. The table right next to her came in at the same time but because they spoke fluent Chinese they were given priority and good service. We have never had issues here when we come with my mom (perhaps because she speaks Vietnamese fluently). The waitress does speak English well too though, so I'm not sure what that's about! Really recommend going to Siulap City instead of Wing Kee. read more
