About Ho Kee Cafe

Ho Kee Cafe is a Hong Kong-style restaurant known for its delectable roast duck. The roast duck is praised for its well-seasoned, non-gamey, and non-fatty nature, with a wonderfully crisp skin and succulent meat. Customers also enjoy a variety of Cantonese dishes, including stir-fried noodles with a great amount of wok 气, and minced pork with string beans that has the right level of heat and some jalapeño. The restaurant offers generous portions at very reasonable prices, making it a popular choice for many. The roast duck's skin is super crunchy, while the meat is buttery-soft, a combination that impresses diners. The menu features other items like wonton soup, which some consider one of the best in the Los Angeles area, although the pork inside can be rough with chunks of unshredded fat. The dry-fried beef is noted for its great taste, despite the beef not being very tender without pulp. The restaurant has a casual, "hole-in-the-wall" atmosphere, but also a more formal location in Arcadia. Customers can pay with credit cards, and there is ample parking available in a private lot, though parking can sometimes be tricky. Overall, Ho Kee Cafe remains a favorite for authentic Hong Kong-style cuisine, especially for its exceptional roast duck.
