" Having lived in the Bay Area for years, Ming Kee stands out as one of the best Cantonese BBQ spots around. The roast duck is always juicy and tender, and they don’t skimp on portions either. The environment is really casual; don't come here expecting fancy decor. It’s all about the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is always packed, and now I understand why! The BBQ pork is fabulous, and the staff works hard to keep up with the demand. Though the space is a bit cramped, it gives you that authentic feel. I did have to wait quite a bit but it was worth it for the delicious food! I will definitely return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a gem for anyone who loves Cantonese BBQ! The prices are very reasonable, and the quality of the meat is outstanding. The BBQ pork neck is a must-try—it's rich in flavor and just melts in your mouth. My only complaint is that they could improve their cleanliness a bit. Overall, I highly recommend this place; just plan to go on off-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cheap and flavorful! This is the best spot for roast duck in the Bay Area that I've discovered. Every time we go, they run out of something, so get there early! The food is fresh, and they have a simple menu that's easy to choose from. While the ambiance is nothing fancy, the food makes up for it tenfold. Great for a satisfying meal on a budget. " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy I found Ming Kee! I love being able to enjoy authentic Chinese BBQ without breaking the bank. The BBQ pork is top-notch, and I'm very satisfied with the portion sizes. It's always bustling here, which adds to the experience. Just a heads up: prepare for a wait, but the food will make it worth your while! " (*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.
