" I can't believe I waited this long to visit Lau Kee! The duck was everything I hoped it would be, flavorful and cooked perfectly. I was also impressed with the portion sizes for the price. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was relaxed. This has now become my go-to Chinese place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in for a quick bite and left absolutely pleased! The roast duck and BBQ pork over rice hit the spot. I loved how quickly my meal was prepared and served, making it perfect for a lunch spot. The flavors were bursting and satisfying; the portions are also quite good for a takeout meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! I stumbled upon Lau Kee while exploring, and it turned out to be a fantastic find. I tried a variety of dishes, and the roast duck stood out as the highlight—crispy skin and so flavorful. The service was fast and friendly. It’s a small place, but it’s cozy and welcoming. I would have to recommend it to everyone visiting the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem indeed! I visited on a busy Saturday, and yet they managed to seat us quickly. The roast duck was top-notch: juicy with crispy skin. The service was prompt, and the prices are reasonable. I only wish the interior was more inviting, but the food definitely makes up for it. I’ll be telling my friends to check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" A cozy little spot! I stopped in after a long day of exploring Chinatown. The roasted pork was another highlight along with the roasted duck. I was impressed by how quickly the food was served, and it was all fresh. Highly recommend the wonton soup as well! It felt like a breath of fresh air to find a place that serves authentic food at reasonable prices. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I had high expectations based on the reviews, but I was a little letdown. The food was decent, but it didn't quite have the authentic taste I was hoping for. The shrimp dumplings were fine, but the portion sizes feel smaller than what I'm used to at Chinese restaurants. The service was friendly, but overall, not a top tier experience for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fun little spot! I came in with a group after wandering around Chinatown, and the food blew us away. We ordered family style and just about everything we had was on point. The fried dumplings were crispy, and the duck was a highlight of the evening. Will definitely make this my go-to when in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
