" Had a pleasant dining experience! The roast duck had perfect skin and flavor. The dumplings were delightful and packed with shrimp, way more filling than I expected. Service could improve, but the staff was friendly enough. The atmosphere is casual and laid back, making it good for a quick meal after a long day. I'll definitely return for the comfort of their dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The cafe gives off a charming, authentic vibe from the moment you walk in. The roast duck and char siu were to die for! Very tender and flavorful. I even got adventurous and tried the spicy stir-fried tofu dish that was a bit too spicy for my taste, but still enjoyable. The only downside was the noise level was high, making it hard to hear my friend at the table. Nonetheless, I would return for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ho Kee Cafe is always my go-to for delicious, authentic Cantonese food. I've never been disappointed with the roast duck; it's always juicy and full of flavor. Their wonton soup is comforting and great during colder days. The wait times can vary, so sometimes I would recommend a reservation. The service has generally improved, as they seem to handle busy times much better now. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The food was delicious from beginning to end. The roast duck was juicy and had that perfect crispiness everyone talks about, and the wonton in the soup was lovely. Though the restaurant was busy, our service was prompt and friendly. I will definitely make Ho Kee Cafe a regular spot when craving good Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambience here is cozy, perfect for a casual dinner. I had the roast duck and it tasted just like what you'd find in Hong Kong! The portions were generous, enough to fill me up entirely. I loved the wontons too; they were gigantic. The service was efficient, though the restaurant was packed during my visit. I'll happily bring friends here for a flavorful experience! " (*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*)
