Very delicious Chinese food. The male elderly staff was very friendly, patient and kind towards me and my friend. I will definitely return!
Growing up in New York after the clubs . Hop Kee was the spot. Food is still amazing.. still only takes cash... But they close at 9pm. My regular go to menu.. salt and pepper pork chops, beef in oyster sauce over pan fried noodles, young chow fried rice. This time I added the salt and pepper squid...but If you're feeling adventurous I recommend the snails soo good.
My first time here. We were 6 people for lunch. We order a dish pr. person and that was way too much. Half would have been more appropriate. The food was ok, the noodles were a bit overcooked. The dining room reminded me of a school cantina and the waiter was not very friendly.
Being Anthony Bourdain fans means having a restaurant bucket list and Hop Kee was on ours! We made sure to visit while on vacation in NYC and we were so glad we did. Absolutely delicious and generous portions. The hugest, most delicious egg rolls we've ever had. Delicious hot tea (hard to find places with all you can drink hot tea), and REAL food. We got the Hop Kee Chicken.
Have heard this place for a long time. It is definitely a hidden gem in Chinatown. The pork rib and crab are amazing. Love the vintage vibe here!
This is as authentic chinese as it gets. They start you off with some nice tea. We had won ton, fried rice, dumplings, fried shrimp, beef and mushroom, chicken with cashews. Everything was delicious. The service is not the nicest, but somehow it doesn't affect the experience. Pretty legit chinese food.
We love going to Hop Lee (just across the street), but when they are closed we hop over to Hop Kee. They have a massive menu with you favorite southern chinese dishes. The hot and sour soup is great, as is the fried squid dish. The vegetable dishes usually have fresh veggies, adding to the flavor. It can be hard to get attention of the staff, and the ambience is "we are affordable."
Love Hop Kee. Thanks to our friends, we learned how to order the best dishes. Loved:
