" I had high expectations coming to Ming Kee, especially for the roast duck. It did not disappoint! The flavor was on point, and the meat was juicy. However, the service wasn't friendly. The cashier barely acknowledged me, and it felt rather off-putting. Still, the food is amazing, making me want to come back regardless. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love Ming Kee! Their soy sauce chicken is like none I've had before—so tender and flavorful. However, I must warn you about the service. You really need to be assertive to get what you want. I watched a few people get ignored while waiting to place their orders. But once you do get your food, it’s hard not to overlook that due to the deliciousness on your plate. Definitely coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought I knew good Chinese BBQ until I tried Ming Kee! The flavors are so intense and true to what I remember from home. The staff was busy but friendly, and the environment suited the whole dining experience. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pretty excited to try Ming Kee after hearing great reviews, but my experience was mixed. The food was decent, especially the BBQ pork, but I found the service to be a bit lackluster. It felt rushed, and I didn’t like being pushed to order quickly. Still, the flavors were good, and I might give them another shot on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" After many visits, I can confidently say Ming Kee serves the best BBQ pork I’ve ever had, period. I highly recommend getting it over rice, as the flavors meld beautifully. But be patient; there’s often a long line. On busy days, the service can be a bit rough, but the food is really what keeps me coming back. If you love BBQ, you have to try their pork neck, too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ming Kee after hearing amazing things from friends, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The roast duck was incredible—perfectly seasoned and so juicy. I loved the atmosphere; it felt authentic and reminded me of some of the best spots in Hong Kong. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit to order, but trust me, the food is worth it! Will definitely come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I've had mixed experiences here. While the food is excellent, the service can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. On more than one occasion, I was met with indifference from the staff. However, the BBQ pork is so good I keep coming back. Just don’t expect a fine-dining experience, and you'll be fine.
