Disgusting waste of money. I spend $50 here and all I got was pieces of bone and fat. They use the lowest quality ingredients. There are bone chips in everything. I ordered a pound of duck and its all just the back pieces with skin and bones. Roast pork is just fat. Pork belly is just white fat . This place is horrible. I am throwing the food away and getting a real dinner. See the beautiful appetizing pictures below

Yummy food and fair price. Staff are nice and quick with orders. Got the Sichuan fish dish and while it's not done in the traditional way, it was meaty pieces of fish with just enough peppercorn spice without overwhelming your tongue. The sauce is more like a thick gravy consistency so perfect over rice! Not so oily... My sister who can't take a lot of spiciness found this dish to be perfect.

I chose this restaurant based on location and reviewers' pictures. Thank you! Yes, it is out of the way of all the busy traffic and very popular for take out based on the constant lines as we had lunch. Very friendly and efficient service. Got exactly what I saw pictured and very happy. Traditional Chinese BBQ and got the triple (pork, chicken and duck) over rice. Came with a soy tea egg and vegetables. Exactly what I wanted and very satisfying.

Have been here twice since finding out about it. The dumplings are really good. The pork sui mai does taste a little weird but the other ones are good. Also have had the crispy duck and crispy pork. Both are great considering I haven't had them in a really long time. Our server, Amy, is great. Very friendly and great with kids. Dinner time is busy. But nothing too crazy. Gonna have to go back for dim sum one day.

Whenever I crave beef pan fried noodles, this is the spot to get it from. Usually I order it to go, so I can eat at home while working. It is really good. I usually order the salt and pepper squid also, it's a little bit salty than usual but still good. Their portion is also a good size. If you order for lunch it will be cheaper too.

Wo Kee Noodle used to be so good. They must have changed hands within the last 12-18 months. We ordered Singapore Mei Fun. You were lucky if there was on minute shrimp in it and the chicken was old. Should I dare to order Jook from them?

Wo Kee is my go to spot! It is not your corner take out Chinese restaurant, this is your duck and pork hanging from the window, full flavor authentic Chinese food spot! I highly recommend this place!

Wo Kee is a Chinese restaurant with Cantonese dishes, marinated BBQ meats, and the regular American-Chinese take out dishes. The menu is pretty extensive at over 200 items. The wonton noodle soup ($9) comes with large wontons, egg noodle, half a boiled soy sauce egg, Chinese broccoli, minced sour cabbage, over a flavorful broth. They are operating on solely take out orders and delivery. I suggest calling thirty minutes prior to order pick up.

I love Cantonese Duck, Chicken food, and used to get it from flushing. However, going to flushing is a disaster with traffic and parking issue. Found this restaurant that can satisfy my stomach. Since I bought for the first time, I've been royal to come around once a month. So far, their food never disappointed me!!
The chicken and duck that i purchased from this place are not fresh. There's no way for people to tell when those chicken and duck were made.Probably leftovers from days ago.My whole family had diarrhea and vomiting.What a terrible experience.

I hate writing bad reviews, but when a restaurant deserves it, other people should know. Some background: I know my Chinese food. My father was a chef in a Chinese restaurant. My wife's family is from HK. We grew up in Chinatown. Chinese food is what we eat regularly. I ordered congee and roast duck by phone for pick-up due to COVID. I was surprised to learn the congee is $9 a quart. That's about $3 more expensive than even the best places in Chinatown. But I figured restaurants were suffering and they had to increase their price. Plus, it might be some damn good congee. So, sure, let's give it a shot. When I got there, I looked at their menu and noticed $9 was their regular price for congee. Damn. It better be good. I brought it home and tried the fish congee. Wait. Did they screw up? Where's the flavor? This tastes like plain congee. There was fish in it (the fish is cheap white fish - likely swai or tilapia), but the fish gave it no flavor at all. Then I tried the preserved egg with pork congee, typically one of my favorite. It had flavor, but some extra odd flavor. My family all said it tasted strange and had to flush most of it down the toilet. Maybe it's because they chopped their eggs up on the same cutting board as their roast meats. Or maybe it's the odd pork slices that look like cold cuts that they pull out of a separate bag (yes, I watched them make the congee). It's just not the congee we were expecting. At least they can't screw up roast duck, right? You can if they cheat you on portions. We ordered half a duck, but in the box, all chopped up, it certainly looked like less than half a duck. So we ate it and realized no one ate any part of a wing. With half a duck, you're guaranteed one wing. So I spent about $75 on the meal when it should have costed closer to $45. And it sucked.

Their food reminds me of home. I'm Chinese and grew up in a traditional Chinese household. The food here is so good, it reminds me of my mom's cooking. It's not too oily, it's not too salty, their service is fairly quick and clean. Their restaurant has a seating bench to wait for your order, their tables and chairs are blocked off to prevent customers from staying. They have plastic walls covering the entire cash register area and leave a window to exchange food and money. They wear masks, there's a bottle of hand sanitizer next to the window they cut out. I especially like how they serve side dishes that are usually only served in large Chinese restaurants. They are delicious, the chicken feet, and their fish-egg soup is very good. It's honestly amazing how they're able to recreate that flavour that only comes out of large restaurants. This place is my go-to when I was a taste of home or just lazy to cook, they're efficient and the food comes out warm and not too hot to eat.

I think they changed the chef due to COVID. I mean staying home for an extra $600 beats sweating your behind off in a hot kitchen, just saying. Takeout only. The area is quite quiet, be thankful they are open, it's not bad, average food.

Good luck. Ordered $95 worth of food for my family and all ended up in the trash. Now I know why they don't take credit cards they do deliver lol. I wonder why. It's unusual to get so many entrees, soup, and wontons and only keep the rice for a meal the next day Every item did not taste fresh! With the health crisis facing us, my family did not want to chance stomach poisoning at this time. Now looking back after viewing other reviews from other yelpers and the inspections by nyc department of health, I am happy we are all still healthy!
