We were asking for the seats. They ignored us
I think they provide service for only Chinese ppl.
Great hole in the wall restaurant with authentic Chinese food! Not sure what the others are expecting for the price in terms of atmosphere and decor but the food was fire! Cash only but savings are passed onto us
I wouldn't recommend this place, especially for groups and people that don’t speak Mandarin nor Cantonese. My friends and I waited 15 minutes without being given a menu, so we had to go get one ourselves. Despite speaking Chinese, other customers who arrived after us were treated with more care. The server was rude, slamming the food on our table with an angry expression. We ordered roasted pork, but were given char siu instead. When we pointed it out, they insisted char siu was the same. The food was oily, tasted like frozen meat, and the duck smelled bad. We won't be coming back ever again.
Walked into Ming Kee kitchen today accidentally with starving belly when landed hours late in NYC. A hot pot of welcome tea right after seating, thankful in a cold and damp day! The noodle soup with shredded duck meat is typical Cantonese flavor, and the salty fish pellets sauted chicken is authentic. The diced barbecue pork fried rice is a disappointment, felt like soy sauce over-poured, and over-fried smell. Well, felt this is a place for most of work bees to get a homemade dishes quickly regularly with a very fair price in NYC, very decent owner. I was commenting it's even less expensive than the similar dish in Dallas nowadays (Chinese restaurants in Dallas generally are crazily over priced without significant quality upgrade). Found an interesting thing, a white pipe standing next to the wood wall in the restaurant. Guess what the function is?😁
THE BEST ROASTED DUCK I'VE EVER TRIED!
There is this outrageous behavior in the entire New York city Chinatown businesses, they all demand CASH payment only! And I assume that the New York city authority can careless.Then, one out of two businesses short-change your changes. Pay very attention to this one - Ming Kee Kitchen Inc on Grand street and Sun Sai Gai on Canal street, they are expert on detecting those suckers customers who are not vigilant or because they are simply too rich to even care of loosing some money to these thieves!
They have the best house special fried rice$15.....nice price ..free tea 🍵....very recommended 👌
I just had amazing roast duck noodle soup with my friends there! Authentic food and good price!
Concerning hygiene practices: bugs flying around and i watched the waitress serve me rice with the same hands she just handled cash for take out.
Also, really struggled to chew the pepper short rib — whatever it is, it definitely was not quality meat.
visited this restaurant recently with my coworkers, and unfortunately, it was not a good experience. The first couple of bites were okay, but as we kept eating, the taste started to change and reminded us of the unpleasant smell you’d encounter at a live poultry market. It was hard to enjoy the meal after that.
To make matters worse, my coworker and I both ended up with stomach problems soon after eating here. We even had to call out of work the next day because of it. This was my second time eating here, and the first visit was perfectly fine, so I’m not sure what went wrong this time.
I’m willing to believe this was just a fluke, but once I get stomach issues from a place, that’s a red flag I can’t ignore. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

I had the Sauteed Eggplant with garlic sauce, because one of reviews had written that it was good, it was not for my taste.
I also had the Egg noodle soup with wonton and roasted duck, the wonton is average at best, but the duck was good.
I had a big appetite since this is my brunch.
Their prices for the food are cheaper than a regular chinese resto in the DMV area, cash only basis, you often get what you pay for, a classic adage.

I bought a roast duck for the first time. I had acute gastroenteritis and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. I usually go to buy food to eat at work around 11 o'clock. When I eat it around 12 o'clock, I feel that the meat is stale and has been left overnight. After a week, it happened again today. I went to buy a pork rice. Not long after I finished eating, I felt light-headed, pale and dizzy. My stomach felt very uncomfortable. I vomited and it felt a little better. I really felt that the hygiene of this restaurant was a bit doubtful.

Great food! Great amount for the price. Great price for a whole meal. Charging stations for electronics are a plus!
