Lau Kee Restaurant

If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food, give this place a shot. We tried the eggplant with chicken and rice, and the crispy noodles with shrimp, chicken, and pork. Both dishes were tasty and fresh. It’s better to pay cash. The staff are friendly, and they serve green tea.

Authentic Cantonese cuisine Ordered crispy crunchy roast duck 1/4 for 11$, it is crunch on the skin and juicy in the inside, it is cooked to perfection suiting canto style duck. 9.5/10 Shrimp dumplings 8* for 7.5$, tasty shrimp coated with bread cloth, dipped in sweet & sour sauce, you won't regret, trust the cat what you should order. 9/10 Meow~

We've been enjoying home delivery from Lau Kee for many years. Yesterday we dined-in at their small yet busy Philly Chinatown location for the first time. Their food is excellent from delivery. It's even better right out of the kitchen. Unpretentious, with quick, responsive service.

July 2025 … yummy beef with bitter melon on rice May 2024 … nice staff. Roasted duck over rice are good but not as good as 2 yrs ago. Portion is smaller and price is higher. Year 2022… HK style roasted duck, yummy! Nice greeting from staff too.

I've been going to this restaurant since the week they first opened years ago and this place is consistently perfect! The service is fast and friendly; I'm a regular from Northwest Philadelphia (Roxborough) and I always find that if I make a trip to Chinatown that it's a MUST to visit. I usually start off with a Wonton Soup and a Peking Duck Roll; which is to die for! Then I usually get one of my favourite entrees which is Orange Beef (crispy fried beef tossed in a sauce so delicious and flavourful that you'll get bites where you taste actual orange) or I'll get Shrimp, Squid, Scallops with Chinese Five Spice which is always fresh and seasoned to perfection while still remaining light and not overbearing. Other favourites include their Singapore Mei Fun, Roasted Duck Congee which is a winter necessity, and their General Taos Chicken, but to be fair anything you get here will inevitably blow you socks off.

I had the duck appetizer it was fresh, delicious and cooked to perfection. I also had the garlic eggplant chicken which was lovely. The portions are huge, one main is enough for two. There wasn’t an ambience as such basically a few tables, but the staff was very welcoming and warm.
