Tried some new things: - clay pot rice w duck and sausage: 3.5/5, probably because we got takeout. Need to try in the restaurant - chicken rice noodles: 5/5 I LOVED this prob bc it reminds me of my mom - sesame chicken: 4./5 came with a sweet orange-y sauce and broccoli, more Americanized Chinese food, but I liked it - har gao: 2/5 kind of flavorless??? - pork siu mai: 4/5 standard fare - beef chow fun: 4/5 tasty! Didn't notice it was super oily so that's great read more

So happy having Moon Kee in my neighborhood. Why waste the time to travel down to Chinatown or Flushing, when we have Moon Kee in the neighborhood.

The food quality has Not yet disappoint me. Came here myself then have returned couple of times with friends, this is my "to go" place whenever I am craving for authentic ( Cantonese ) chinese dishes. read more

We went back a 2nd time and food was great once again ! BUT still no Hot Oil - they offered us hot sauce kinda like sambal sauce! Please get hot oil in sure others will love it as well. Also, I'm not sure who the manager dude is but he talks waaay too LOUD (almost screaming) and it's a bit obnoxious! He was screaming and yelling at his waiters and we felt so bad for them to work in that kinda environment. I know this may be a cultural thing but got dang please calm down and quiet down. Secondly at one point he was screaming so loud it gave us a shock. We thought a fight broke out ! Please have that manager guy calm down and speak normally for the sake of the vibe! Starting to love this place ! FOOD IS bussin' !!! read more

Earlier today 4/18/26 , I went to this restaurant to purchase some food I spent about maybe $185 and I went back again to get another side order. I ordered scallion pancakes. I asked him to please give me two containers of duck sauce since the gentleman that was eating. It is allergic to soy sauce. They told me they were not allowed to give any extra duck sauce he said they could give me the other brand. I told him no I wanted the one me from the store. They told me they were not allowed to give me any mind. I just finished spending $185 +2 exercise another $18 for scallion pancakes and I tipped them $35 and they told me they were not allowed to give the duck sauce if they did, the owner well have them terminated. I was like are you freaking kidding me you are denying me too small duck sauce after I spent over 100 and something dollars worth of food. I should've been a dickhead and returning everything back and got a refund but I did not all I'm saying is you had to lose customers over the sauce? yeah that makes no sense. read more

We should consider ourselves lucky that Moon Kee decided to bring their dim sum and roasted meats to the UWS. It may add up, all these treats you wish to have but it's the real deal. Enjoyed the roast duck and pork combo, and was impressed by the pan fried turnip cakes on my first outing. Comfortable booths. Friendly, welcoming service. read more

Moon Kee - $20 roast duck, pork combo and pan fried turnip cakes! - Cantonese Near Me - New York, New York

I'm so glad that I don't have to travel all the way down to chinatown anymore to get a weekly fix of great Cantonese food! Moon Kee has great ambience and a great selection of Cantonese classics. They have high quality Char Siu, and also roasted duck. They also have dimsum, wonton noodles, and more. The staff are really nice, and the food is definitely really good. The stone pot is a must try. The rice is perfectly textured with some of the well known burnt crispy rice at the bottom. I'll definitely be coming here a lot more often! read more

The restaurant's location helps maintain its hidden status. This restaurant pleases me every time, and it'll please you. Each selection demonstrates flavor depth. Employees maintained promptness while showing sincere kindness. The spot offers an enjoyable setting. read more

Crazy that such a solid dim sum place just exists in the middle of the upper west side. Moon Kee definitely has the authentic flavors and at a competitive pricepoint, at least for the neighborhood. Service was fast - I'm tempted to take a trek up here on a weekend for the cart dim sum. read more

Best dim sum and Cantonese food in the Upper West Side! As a Hong Konger, I can confirm that this place is legit!! Siu Mai and rice roll are the best! The beef chow fun is also full of wok hey! Wish they would serve Hong Kong milk tea and lemon tea in the future! :) read more

Every bite makes you appreciate good ingredients. The flavors they achieve are excellent. The decor impresses and the atmosphere delivers. Employees deliver great attention with notably warm approaches. After relocating nearby, I was delighted to discover this restaurant. read more

This is the real deal - a modern Hong Kong style teahouse with all the yum cha and classic family-style dishes, plus roast duck and pork. In fact, it's the best duck we've had outside of Greater China, very juicy and flavorful. Servers are experienced, friendly, efficient, and rightly proud of what they've got going on here. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality you're getting. If you're looking for the true taste of Hong Kong, look no further. read more

Love dim sum Saturdays! My favorite is the pork pineapple bun. The staff are great too. A must visit.

Fresh and delicious! We ordered a number of dim sums including turnip cakes, pork shu mai, chicken feet, beef rice rolls, chives dumplings, mochi pork dumpling and a beef chow fun. It was their grand opening so it was very unique to see the presentation to bless the business! Will definitely come back for more dim sum and clay pots and noodle! read more

Outstanding food and great service. The claypots and wonton noodle soup were superb. Excited to get back to Moon Kee.

I was in the neighborhood for 4 days and I ate here 4 times. This is an authentic Chinese restaurant that would reign as the best in Chinatown! You need to go! Try the Roast Pork brisket. It's the finest that I have ever had! read more

We tried a few items off the dim sum menu that were excellent , the spicy long hots were kicked up spicy and very good , then the won ton soup which was steaming hot, very tasty , a bowl that could feed 4 easily and last was a very big portion of Singapore rice noodles which topped off our excellent dinner, service was extremely attentive the place hops and is quite popular so a reservation may be necessary at peak times we would definitely return to try other options off their extensive menu read more

The service was awful. We could not order a drink. The dim sum was not fresh, and we got up and left after the first dim sum.

Eaten here a bunch of times, with others. So glad it's here. Sticky rice, Shu Mai (both kinds), har gau, rice roll, turnip cake--all very solid. Char siu noodle soup was also good. Eaten a lot of dim sum elsewhere, good and bad. This is very solid. The staff are courteous and very prompt. They seem all business but they care and work hard. It's not too loud, but it has some of the dim sum bustle, complete with carts. It's not dirt cheap but you can easily find more expensive dim sum that's not as good. read more

After reading the reviews, I've been wanting to give this place a try. Hubs was happy to hear that there was a restaurant that serves claypot in the Upper West Side. We were immediately seated after checking in. The restaurant is small, with light brown wooden panels making up the top halves of the walls and dark blue rectangular tiles making up the bottom halves. Sconces hang near the ceiling and round white tables cover the center of the restaurant while booths line the leftmost side and regular tables line the rightmost side. Eclectic chandeliers hang over the middle of the restaurant and light-up Chinese symbols hang over the entrance to the kitchen. Daughter ordered minced beef rice roll and she liked it a lot. She thought it was delicious and that it tasted a lot like the rice rolls that she's had in the past. Hubs liked it a lot, also. We had the Chinese Sausage and Roast Duck Claypot Rice. Hubs loved the roast duck and thought it was nicely cooked. He said that the kitchen managed to keep the duck from overcooking in the casserole boat. He said that it was moist and delicate and that the skin was crisp y Lastly, we had the Assorted Seafood Pan-Fried Noodles. This was hubs' favorite dish of the night. He said that all of the seafood was perfectly done and not overcooked. They were generous with the scallops. He said that he wished that this place was available when he was a youngster. LOL. Parking was a little difficult to find but we managed to find metered parking in front of the restaurant. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu. read more

Wow!!! This place is amazing. It's really hard to find good Chinese restaurants in Uptown but I give this a 10/10. Freshest dimsum I've had in Manhattan, even better than Jing Fong. Staff are super friendly. Everything tastes amazing. Will be our go to spot now read more

Very authentic Cantonese restaurant, a welcome addition to the UWS. No need to go to Chinatown/Flushing for great Cantonese food anymore, they serve several of the standard dishes and make them really well. Some dishes I enjoyed: - Clay pot rice with chinese sausage + duck - Authentic beef chow fun (as the name implies, it's the authentic Cantonese version with a lot of wok-hey flavor) - Crispy salt and pepper pork chop - Jumbo Shrimp with honey walnut - Wonton noodle soup - Shrimp rice rolls - Sweet egg roll buns (aka salted egg yolk lava buns) - great as a dessert! read more

The claypot rice is the best thing I've had all week. Incredibly authentic flavors and the rice was crispy - even in takeout form! Will definitely be back to try the dim sum. read more

The place is clean, new, and tables well spaced. The service is friendly, but there are language problems when answering questions. The food is fresh, abundant, and tasty. The fried vegetable dumplings were a bit thicker than usual, but good. The crispy beef was flavorful. The complimentary hot tea was good. The noodle soup with bamboo noodles and shrimp/pork dumplings were good. We will come back to try some other dishes. We noticed no liquor license or a list for beverages. read more

Very good! Will order from them again Prices fair portions large! Order came quickly Good was still hot read more

Food: One of the best Cantonese style meals on the UWS. We tried a variety of dishes. Dim sum: pork siu mai, shrimp siu mai, har gow, steam roasted pork bun, and soup dumplings. The har gow's flavor was close to our favorite dim sum restaurant in Chinatown and Hong Kong! So, we'll be ordering that again. All the dim sum dishes had large portions and prices were comparable to restaurants around the area and tasted pretty good. We'll go back to try the chicken feet, rice rolls, and steamed veggies for the full dim sum experience. As for the entrees, the salt and pepper calamari, salt and pepper pork Peking style, and duck were fantastic! Again, portions were great for the price and the flavors were what we're used to when we're looking for Cantonese style Chinese food. We did have the wonton mi and wasn't a fan of the broth but it didn't stop us from devouring the delicious wontons! We will be coming back and ordering more to get try other dishes. Service: The owner stopped by the tables to gauge everyone's experience, so he clearly cares about the quality of food they produce. The waiters were constantly coming around filling water and extremely efficient, which again, is a very HK feel! Ambiance: clean and new. Large round tables for sharing with a lazy susan, booths, and regular tables! I LOVE IT and am so happy to have this on the UWS! read more

We came to have dinner as out of towners. Customer service was irredeemable. The server pointed at each tier of tip percentage and demanded to know "which one". Wonton soup was terrible tasting, and nothing like Hong Kong style. Would not recommend. read more

My New Year's Day discovery. I've been walking by moon kee since I've been back and neglected to step inside. I love my dim sum and it has to be done right. There's a spot down the road but its acrid smell of cleaning products is an immediate turn off. Moon kee is clean and tidy and has a modern elegance to it. They are so wonderful and accommodating. Then there's the food. Best Dim Sum on the UWS. You also have other dishes to choose from. I'm going to have to dive into those soon! But however they have roast ducks and char siu pork available to go. Great for taking home and whipping up your own fried rice dishes. Love this place and now that they have the dim sum carts it's hard to resist wanting to eat here on a daily basis. Awesome! read more

This restaurant is an amazing addition to the neighborhood! The food is authentic, fresh, hot, and tasty. I really enjoyed the claypot rice! Will definitely be back to try more entrees and the roast bbq specialties. So happy we no longer have to trek down to Chinatown for authentic HK food. read more

I have ordered takeout from this establishment twice already and it has not disappointed. The food is the best Chinese food I've had in a long time especially on the UWS. The food tastes so fresh.

They have a flying bug issue. Had to strike it with my chopsticks. Got the kill and the another flying brother come nagging us while trying to focus on our food read more

So happy this place opened up in this area! the dim sum here is really good and it's so reasonably priced. They also have a lunch special for $14 and you seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The owner is so kind and everyone who works there is also very sweet and hardworking! Very much appreciate coming here and really love the food! read more

Food was excellent. Only disappointed with their hot and sour soup. Service was great. They always refilled the water and tea. The owner is very bubbly and friendly Ambiance was okay... they sat us near the door, each time the door opened/closed we felt the harsh cold wind! But you come for the food, we were extremely satisfied. read more

Wow. We ordered dinner this evening to pick up as we live a few blocks away and thought we would try this new restaurant. It was absolutely outstanding. The shrimp and pork won ton soup was among the best I have had. And my husband raved about the hot and sour soup. The main dishes were equally outstanding with subtle blending of flavors, superb ingredients. Even the rice was perfectly cooked with each grain of rice separate. We still love our go-to neighborhood favorites of Atlas and Szechuan Garden but this will be our go-to place for Hong Kong/Cantonese food as good as we have eaten any where. read more

I got the general Tso's chicken which was really good. I like that it brought the spring roll and the soup with it so it was a true combo.

Noisy as can be--no sound baffling. Food: shrimp and pork wonton had strange, unpleasant taste while soup itself had no taste. Hot and sour soup too vinegary. Roast pork Tough. We will not repeat​ read more
