" Delicious food, but the wait is long! We waited over 30 minutes for a table and then another 20 for our food. That said, the roast duck was worth it—it was well-seasoned and juicy. I appreciated the staff’s friendliness. The wonton soup was rich and comforting. I suggest going during non-peak hours to avoid the long wait, as I’ll definitely be returning for their authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I usually love this place, but I believe the quality might have dipped a bit. The roast duck was still good, but not as amazing as I remember. The service was friendly but a bit disorganized when handling a packed restaurant. The ambiance was fine; it can get noisy when filled with customers. I hope they return to their previous standards because they have huge potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this restaurant, especially after hearing rave reviews about their duck. The flavor was there, but the piece I received was cold and chewy. The service was adequate but could have been better in terms of attentiveness. Not sure if I'd try the duck again, though I'd be open to revisiting for other dishes since the space had a welcoming atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, this is the place to go! The roast duck is phenomenal, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. You can definitely tell they take pride in their recipes. I also enjoyed the wontons, they were fresh and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is cozy although a little noisy during peak hours. Service was friendly, but a bit slow at times. Still, I’ll be back often! " (*Curated Review*)

" Frankly, I was a little let down by the quality of the food given all the hype. The roast duck was a bit lackluster; I expected much more savoriness. However, the wonton noodles had a remarkable taste and texture. Service was fair; nothing stood out positively or negatively. I feel like I probably wouldn't return based on this experience, but perhaps I just came on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my favorite places for comfort food. The wonton noodles are above average, and the roast duck is consistently excellent. The dining area could use a bit more decor to provide a cozier atmosphere. Service is always friendly, and I appreciate coming here as it feels homey. I've found good value in the portion sizes as well—enough to fill me up without breaking the bank! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ho Kee Cafe is a gem! Their wonton noodle soup was warm and satisfying, and the shrimp filling was generous—definitely made my day! I do think they could work on the efficiency of the service because it took some time before a waiter acknowledged us, but once we ordered, everything came out hot and fresh. I felt the portion sizes were very fair for the price, too. I left happy with my experience. " (*Curated Review*)
