I was not crazy about the food. But, that's just personal taste. The baked items with tomatoes sauce was a bit too sweet. The pork chop rice was good and so was the beef chow fun. Skip the curry, flavors were not to my taste at all. I went with a bunch of seniors and they thought the restaurant was too dark, they like fluorescent lighting and no atmosphere. Lol. I thought the interior was pleasant.

Cha Kee is a HK Style Cha Chaan Teng located in the heart of NYC's Chinatown. They didn't have any physical menus when I went, however I assume you could ask for them if you don't have a mobile device.
The service is quick and efficient, much easier to order things if you know Cantonese, but English works fine as well.
The atmosphere is like a HK style cafe, with some big tables and smaller tables spread throughout. It would be best to come here with a party of around 3-5.
The food was great. I came during brunch, so it was focused on HK style breakfast foods. The Porkchop over fries was crispy and not too oily. The Rice Cakes in XO Sauce had both a sweetness to it that was complimented well with the peanut sauce. The only thing that was kind of eh was the Salt & Pepper Vegetables. It was a little too salty for the taste, and it ended up overwhelming the dish.
Overall a good place to visit if one of the other Cha Chaan Tengs are too crowded.

I came in ready for ordinary but found extraordinary. Their prices remain below industry standards. The employees showed perfect professionalism from arrival to departure. Meals here demonstrate restraint, while texture and thoughtful cooking stand out. Cha Kee provides consistent dining pleasure.

i stopped by during the middle of the day for lunch in hopes to get the dan dan noodles but apparently they only serve for dinner. The food that I had was very satisfying and I’m looking forward to coming back for dinner.

This restaurant hits as a Hong Kong style morning breakfast place. I always come here for the satay beef instant noodle dish, and it comes topped with a fried egg. If you're here early enough, you get a free drink with it too! The curry fish balls were also delicious, and the toast will bring you back to those days when that was the simplest thing to eat in the morning. The service can be a bit slow at times, but they're getting better.
Our favorite was the fried turnips(cubed up turnip cake deep fried with a light batter) The HK milk tea really hit the spot :)

I thought cha kee was quite good, especially if you're into Cantonese snacks and cuisine, this is a great place. I love the bolo bao with butter. It's flaky, lightly sweet and tasty. We were restaurant hopping so we only got small things here. The salt and pepper squid was really tasty, perfectly fried, not overly seasoned. The curry sauce on the curry fish balls was really good. The staff is pleasant and attentive

I usually get the curry chicken but today the curry was pretty dry and also not that flavorful. The service was pretty decent I asked them to give me curry sauce to put on it, it tasted a bit better but not like the usual curry.

5 stars for the service they were very accommodating. 4 and half stars for the food. I had the club sandwich i wish it had a little more bacon but still good. We also had stirfried ramen noodles for the kids and they enjoyed it. I will come back again to try their rice dishes or casseroles.
