Minh Ky Restaurant

Hole in the wall Chinese food. Nuff said.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and it still feels the same today as it did back then. It's a small, cramped Chinese/ Vietnamese restaurant with a lousy parking lot. Service is minimal but the new staff friendly enough. There was auntie in the corner speaking loudly on her FaceTime call while making dumplings. Felt just like home.

There are about 10 tables inside and the menu has a variety of Chinese inspired dishes.

The must get here is definitely the egg noodles with wonton and char sui.

We tried the specialty honey walnut shrimp and it was a let down. Soggy shrimp with very little sauce.

The fried chicken leg was crispy and savory and the fried rice was very yummy. Definitely recommend these 2 dishes and the egg noodles!

Overall this place offers a lot of value, but I would stick with the fried rice or noodles dishes. Good lucking finding parking!

The food was great plus quick service. The restaurant was nothing fancy but don't let that discourage you from eating there.

Please don’t buy Roasted Duck here.. Fresh from the fridge… I ordered 2 , 1 cut and 1 uncut… They give me a cold whole duck and they said just heat it in the microwave.. The cut duck was microwaved so it’s hot. I’m so disappointed.. Super DRY ! I tried so many restaurants but this one is the only restaurant that gave me a whole COLD duck! 38 dollars cold duck is not worth it!

Love this place. My family is the crispy noodles. It tastes really good. Not like other places that the gravy taste nothing but flour. And also love thier yellow noodles with dumplings.

Completely don’t understand all the good reviews. The one star is because the food was hot and fresh. But it’s void of flavor. VOID. Ordered kung pao chicken, chicken chow fun and egg rolls. The kung pao and chow fun had no seasoning, not traditional, just tasteless. And everything was incredibly greasy. The noodles were all clumped together (they couldn’t even be bothered to separate them ).

If they don’t know how to make these items, why put them on the menu? I would NEVER RETURN. Waste of $$$

Fake Chinese Vietnamese Noodle house for real. The broth is absolutely water, half of the menu aint fresh, most likely precooked food then frozen. The food presentation looks SAD, they aint traditional on this, they are just lazy to do some basic food presentation. Dont come here unless you just are starving to death.

A hidden gem for sure. The #12 and the #27 are absolutely delicious. The combo #27 has a good mix, the wontons in this soup were the best I've ever had. The #12 beef was high quality and tender with a huge portion of beef. I prefer the egg noodles versus the rice noodles. I highly recommend it.

This is the best beef tendon look fun I had in San Diego so far. The broth looks spicy, but it was mild and flavorful. I would order this again. Some other dishes looks good too that l am willing to try next time.

Best wonton dumpling egg noodle soup in town. I like to get a side of chicharron to add to the soup for some texture. Casual Chinese-Viet restaurant that is unpretentious with excellent food at n affordable price. The crispy chicken leg is tasty and the honey walnut shrimp is another crowd pleaser.
