Tak Kee Lee Restaurant

Normal Noriega place was closed, tried this place late at night for take away.
Chicken wings ok, had to throw the rest of the food away.
Price was cheap tho

Really great food. 4 stars because I didn’t think it was insanely flavorful, but still delicious and you can’t really beat the price. Service was great and will come again

Came in during weekday and got stomachache from the food… I even found trace of plastic wrap in one of the dishes… I don’t feel safe to eat here again

Typical Chinese restaurant run by typical Chinese people. They have a signin sheet but they would ignore it and let their buddies cut in front of the line. So long stupid host, you just lost a loyal customer and I will make sure all my friends and family will not come back.

Standard HK café food on Noriega. Nothing special. Portions are okay. Reminds me of ABC across the street but pricier. My mom didn’t like it, and actually prefers abc more.
I would probably not return given that prices are higher than ABC and I can practically get the same thing across the street.
Service might be a little better, but the place is also a lot smaller.
Overall, usual Hk café comfort style food.

A lot of people here on Unilocal expects a lot. From décor to service and who is to blame them? Question is. What exactly are you looking for and or expecting?
This is not Gary Danko, Koi Palace, hell this ain’t even Hong Kong flower Lounge. This is your typical Hong Kong café influenced diner with a large variety of items on their menu. Yes I said influenced. You are not in Hong Kong, sorry my fellow HK Unilocalers. You are in the wrong side of the world.
These ladies are fast and direct so if you take your time deciding what you would fancy then they would help someone else who knows what they actually want. Before you go all judgmental on their attitude and or service let me ask you this. What the fuck are you paying?
Overall, they have great food and they’re consistent. There is a language barrier so please. Make it as simple as possible with your order! Use your finger and the menu if necessary. For the price of the items as well as quality of the food I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a decent lunch for less than $ 10 per person and this include a drink and tax with 20% tip.
Happy dining and stay hungry!

Saw the Hong Kong style stir beef congee 碎牛粥 on the menu, I was overly happy to order it because I can never find it in the Bay Area. The fried rice noodle chips were on the top of the congee separated with the beef which is not Hong Kong style at all. I was disappointed. If it is their own style of 碎牛粥, don’t put Hong Kong Style with it. Miss leading customer.

Worse customer service ever!!! If I get a choice I will never return to this restaurant ever again. The waitress was in the middle of taking our order and we were deciding on what drink to get, she then turned around and take another tables’ order and leave us hanging. Dang! What type of service is that!!!
This isn’t happen only once. The first time, second, and third time I let it slide coz my sista thinks we should have a big heart and let things go, but four times!!! That’s it! We walked out and the waitress got the nerve to ask «what’s wrong, the food isn’t right for you»! Dang lady its your service that is not right for us.
We choose that restaurant because it opens early and connivence for us but with the service this bad we would be better off looking for somewhere else. I will never EVER going back there again!!!

The place looks highly deceiving, I didnt think their food was going to be all that good, but boy I guess I judged too quickly!
Their breakfast menu is really cheap. You can get jook and chinese doughnut or fried noodles for only $ 5.75. Same goes for noodle/​macaroni soup that comes with three toppings and a choice of HK milk tea or hot tea.
RECOMMENDED: Lemon Tea and HK Milk Tea
Definitely a must get when you come here!
The servers are mostly older chinese ladies, but they’re not like the ones you see in chinatown! These ladies are so nice and polite, so definitely tip them.
Parking is street parking, but because it is by the residential area, there are a lot of parking spots.
Cheers!

Opens at 7:30pm on Sunday. Combo meals are now $ 5.75 for jook and noodles. Price does not include HK milk tea. Total was $ 8.25

love this place. I’m addicted to their lemon tea! it’s my place for comfort food and Hong Kong style food.
the two ladies with the bob style hair are my two favorite and very nice. they are one of the reasons I like coming here.
I pretty much order the same with slight variations but always the cold lemon tea, the wontons or beef stew noodle soup and their peanut butter and condensed milk toast. the rice noodle is pretty smooth and not broken unlike some other places. I don’t feel thirsty after eating here unlike some places where they use MSG and my throat dries up. and I always get a cold lemon tea to-​go for the road.

Awesome place for lunch break! I worked nearby and have been there for lunch almost everyday for a while. Love the food there! Food is great and service is super fast and friendly, especially at that price they are charging. I already miss the lunch special they have for less than $ 8, which includes a milk tea (personally highly recommend!!!), a soup, and one of the three choices of the day. Lemon Iced tea is good as well!

dirty, dingy little family run hole in the wall spot. it’s a lot of food for the amount you pay, but not necessarily the best and tastiest. It is hella damn greasy, so it can be fairly decent cheap hangover food.
it’s madness outside from everybody grocery shopping. duck inside here to get away or get some HK iced lemon tea. park at your own risk

Awesome little hole in the wall Hong Kong café in the neighborhood. Great food at a low price if you don’t mind home style food in a ordinary café.
Waitresses are great and super jokingly nice! My kind of people. My suggestions: lemon grass chicken wings, cold milk tea and luncheon meat Sammy with fries.

First time here… after debating to go across street ABC café or this place, I am glad to decide to try this new place.
The place is alot smaller than ABC café, but I like it alot. I think is Owner operation, so the food is good. I tried their afternood special: Beed stew noodle soup with hot milk tea. The portion is big, the milk tea is hot and milky. The noodle is fresh too!
They are very friendly and they do serve you asap. The price is about the same in compare to other HK café.

Best Hong Kong style iced lemon tea! Good prices. Food comes out quickly.
I’ve only been here a few times. I recommend the chicken wings with spicy lemon grass. So good! We always order the 2 item special that comes with soup and rice.
This place has a food safety score of 98!

When the seester suggested Tak Kee for breakfast, I responded with «Tacky?!» It’s not terribly so.
Cheap and tasty breakfast noodle soup that is a decent size. It certainly hits the spot when you want a HK style breakfast. The soup comes with a milk tea or coffee as well, so you can roll out of there on under $ 15 for two people.
It’s a trek for breakfast, but if I was in the neighborhood, I’d probably stroll on in whenever — PJs and all.
3.5 stars!

The baked pork over rice is crazy! it was twice as big as I expected it to be, comes with a drink and soup, and has fried rice underneath. The pork slices are thin and just the right texture.
They also have a much bigger menu selection than I had originally thought – there are tons of dishes on the wall that are not listed in the menu, that looked really good as well.
Definitely worth stopping by.

I’ve always like HK style café /​restaurants in SF! (aside from ABC really)
Tak Kee Lee has so many great lunch deals and specials that makes it so hard to decide what to eat!
Their service is pretty good here surprisingly, but the wait time can suck at times since the place is not that big.
My favorite: any of their baked plates! Their baked plates are really good. They do take longer than most dishes but it’ll be worth it.

I gave ABC Bakery a one-​star rating, and i was pretty close to putting Tak Kee on the same Wall of Shame.
Their food is on par with ABC, which is actually pretty good, but their inefficiency can really frustrate a customer. I’m a sucker for Portuguese Baked Rice, and Tak Kee has a pretty decent one. But i have stopped ordering from them because they are way too inconsiderate of my time.
I understand baked dishes can usually take up to 20 minutes, and that’s why I call 20 minutes ahead of time when I want takeout. But when I arrive 20 minutes later to pick up my order, they will straight up tell me that I need to wait for 20 minutes. No apologies. No explanations. And this happened FIVE times. It’s pretty ridiculous, and I find it disgusting that they can tell me curtly to wait the 20 minutes as if I never called. FIVE TIMES.
I stopped going to ABC completely and I can stop going to Tak Kee too. T-​28, S&E and Café Bakery are other solid choices if you’ve experienced similar problems.
