" I had high hopes for M Kee based on the reviews, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. The portions were indeed large, but unfortunately, the flavor lacked the authenticity I was expecting. The service was pleasant but I found the atmosphere rather cramped, which detracted from the overall experience. Perhaps a different dish would have fared better. I'll think about giving it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" M Kee is an absolute gem in Chinatown! I've been coming here for years, and the quality has never disappointed me. The duck is always juicy, and the skin has that perfect crisp. It's a no-frills place, but the food makes up for it and then some. During my last visit, I tried their mixed roast platter, which included crispy pork and char siu. The flavors just burst in your mouth! Don't forget to check out their congee - it’s hearty and perfect for breakfast. If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience at M Kee recently. I ordered the roast duck, but it was quite salty for my taste. I was expecting a more balanced flavor given its popularity. The atmosphere felt a bit cramped, but the service was good. I may consider giving it another try, but I would advise newcomers to ask for lighter seasoning options just in case. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about M Kee, but unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the hype. While the food was decent, it didn't taste as authentic as I expected, especially for Cantonese cuisine. The service was friendly, but the meal took a bit long to come out. I think I'll give it another chance, as some friends swear by it, but I left feeling a little disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could give M Kee more than five stars! From the moment you step in, you can smell the mouthwatering aroma of roasted meats being made. I recently tried their Peking duck, and it was the best I've had since traveling to Hong Kong! The restaurant is small and casual, but they make up for it with their impeccable service. The staff always welcome you with a warm smile and are quick to serve. Although they only accept cash, the reasonable prices make it worth it. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during busy hours, but trust me, it’s worth every bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a good place to satisfy my craving for authentic Cantonese barbecue, and M Kee did not disappoint! The atmosphere is very casual, almost like dining at a friend's house, and the service was friendly. I particularly enjoyed the BBQ pork and the soy sauce chicken, both cooked to perfection. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of food offered. I would recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys Cantonese flavors. I'll be making M Kee my regular spot from now on! " (*Curated Review*)

" M Kee is a must-visit if you're a fan of Cantonese cuisine! Their roast duck is something to rave about. The skin is perfectly crispy, and the meat is savory and tender. I also loved their wonton soup, which tasted rich and comforting. If you're in the area, definitely check it out, but remember it tends to get busy during lunch hours. Affordable pricing alongside huge portions makes this place a hit for me. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
