We tried some other things here, but don’t have pictures for them. Butter with condensed milk toast was good. Fried bun with condensed milk was good. Milk teas were good. Beef chow fun was very tasty and silky. Beef chow mein was very good also. Usually don’t like chow mein too much, but their noodles were a bit on the softer side and I prefer that over the super crispy crunchy version. Didn’t like the pork chop onions on rice. It was bland. Their wings were okay. Overall, this place was way better than I expected, so I give it a solid 4.

If you miss (or dream of) the classic Hong Kong lunch spot, this is it. Located in the heart of NYC Chinatown.
Its clean modern deco, and conversation able environment makes it the prefect place for a power lunch or catch up time with friends. The staff is kind and patient when you are overwhelmed with the extensive menu. Protip: take their suggestions.
The menu covers Hong Kong style sandwiches and dumplings (plus more).
Bonus a gorgeous bathrooms with heated toilet that made me weak in the knees.
The Hong Kong tea is one to try.
My understanding is at night it transforms into a Japanese restaurant.
I’ll have to come back for that experience.

Today was my first time visiting Cha Kee with my family since when it used to be Cha Chan Tang.
My family and I walked in looking forward to have breakfast here. There wasn’t a sign about waiting to be seated or person at the front when we came in. My Dad, who is a senior then went ahead walking toward a table then the lady staff appeared and came toward us. We asked if we can sit at the table with the booth and she responded with, “I’m seating you now aren’t I?” in a rude tone and expression on her face. The rest of our dine-in experience was like this. This lady also took our order. I don’t know if she is having a bad day or what’s going on with her. She made us feel like we’re annoying or she is tired of working there? I don’t know what. We hoped the food will at least be decent to make up for it but it didn’t really =/
Food: The bread served with Western Set meal was rock hard.
Restroom: Decent bathroom. Best part of dine-in experience.
It was a very disappointing experience overall especially by the lady in the front that served us ruined it.
Side note: My family and I were going to head to a funeral after this.

Came today for breakfast, the stay beef rice noodle is disgusting, beef was super soft with a weird herbal taste. I grew up in HK , so definitely not the HK style. Scramble egg was oily with a strong old oil smell. Service was quick and minimal during breakfast time. Milk tea was at par tho, but will not be back.

Food was good. Like a good HK cafe but disappointed because I ordered a peanut butter condensed milk toast and it’s completely missing the peanut butter ! However the service is good and the food was yummy.

Cha Kee is a HK Style Cha Chaan Teng located in the heart of NYC’s Chinatown. They didn’t have any physical menus when I went, however I assume you could ask for them if you don’t have a mobile device.
The service is quick and efficient, much easier to order things if you know Cantonese, but English works fine as well.
The atmosphere is like a HK style cafe, with some big tables and smaller tables spread throughout. It would be best to come here with a party of around 3-5.
The food was great. I came during brunch, so it was focused on HK style breakfast foods. The Porkchop over fries was crispy and not too oily. The Rice Cakes in XO Sauce had both a sweetness to it that was complimented well with the peanut sauce. The only thing that was kind of eh was the Salt & Pepper Vegetables. It was a little too salty for the taste, and it ended up overwhelming the dish.
Overall a good place to visit if one of the other Cha Chaan Tengs are too crowded.

I thought cha kee was quite good, especially if you’re into Cantonese snacks and cuisine, this is a great place. I love the bolo bao with butter. It’s flaky, lightly sweet and tasty. We were restaurant hopping so we only got small things here. The salt and pepper squid was really tasty, perfectly fried, not overly seasoned. The curry sauce on the curry fish balls was really good. The staff is pleasant and attentive

Come here if you want basic, cheap, and quick Chinese food. If you want a comfortable place to enjoy a meal, look elsewhere. It 12 degree out with wind chills in the negative and this place doesn’t have their heat turned on. Customer are in jackets and I feel for the restaurant staff that has to stand around with the cold. This is not a way to run a business.

Everyone that knows Chinatown knows Cha Kee. Delicious Hong Kong style food. The vibes are chill, there’s plenty of seating, the staff are super nice and the food comes out super quick. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Baron. He is a chills and awesome dude and will make sure your visit went well.
