Hong Kee Restaurant

Can’t believe I’ve missed out this restaurant for all these years! Been in Adelaide for more than 6 years but, seriously this place is cooking the food that will ease my homesick. Serving food that are not just Cantonese style but also very similar with Malaysian Chinese food. The owner were very generous and welcoming. The place may not be classy but the food here is pretty impressive. Especially their Flat Rice noodles is really full of char (burnt liked) flavour which really test the skill of the chef, giving you the flavour without burning the food itself.

Excellent service BUT mediocre food Very friendly service from this restaurant but I’m there for the food. Ordered a roast duck, seafood claypot and a black pepper lamb. The roast duck is at best supermarket quality. Dry and probably frozen. Lamb was chewy and left half uneaten though we were famished. The seafood claypot saved the day as it was fairly well prepared. I have it 0 stars if not for the service. Another restaurant that impress foreigners but if you are chinese, look elsewhere.

It's true - the lady boss exudes such warmth and courtesy to a road warrior like me on a quick Adelaide business trip, on the prowl for authentic Chinese food, served with that good old school service! Yes, lady boss refilled my Chinese Tea Pot too, without prompting. Even the young waiter is professional, without being pushy and re-check if I indeed want a serving of steamed rice to go with my dish. Extra special touch towards the end of the meal - a small dish of peeled Mandarin oranges presented in a circular shape of perpetual happiness perhaps (see photo attached). Food is great; price is reasonable and I dare say cost effective, and service is exceptional! Must try other dishes...will be back.

I heard about this place through my friends and also from social media reviews. It was the first time dined at Hong Kee with my family yesterday. We tried roast duck, braised pork belly, seafood hotpot, chinese spinach, steamed chicken with ginger, special fried rice and so on. We all are very satisfied with most of dishes and will definitely return. Service from Mei was also great . She is such a friendly owner lady! Kudos to you Mei!!!
