Roasted Ducks, Imperial chicken, BBQ Pork Ribs hanging in the window with no flies, oh my.... LOL .... appearance is much cleaner than the places i frequents for authentic Chinese BBQ. This place actually looks and feels like it passes the Health and Safty code... -Roast Duck: who doesn't love a good roast duck. This quack was actually really good. Flavorful in every bite. The sauce (dripping) was balance with savory flavors, not just overwhelmed with the essence of star anis. -Imperial chicken; flavorful and delicious in itself. Didn't need the ginger scallion. -Sweet Honey BBQ Ribs: definitely my new favorite from the display window. Every rib was full of "China Essence" fall of the bone deliciousness. -Savory Chicken Rice: a must to complete the meal. Extra flavor of MSG (very salty), but Hella good. -Butcher Lady: a Kung-Fu master with the meat cleaver.... typical Chinese Auntie "everything very good, you buy more".....she was cool and helpful....LOL... VERDICT: place is so fresh and so clean, clean.... i like it. will definitely be back for some more China farm to fork and Kung-Fu lady demonstartion.

I would say it's more of BBQ (duck, chicken, pork) than dim sum. Those BBQ like duck and chicken was so cheap compared to SF market. I will come again to try roasted duck. The yellow chicken was pretty good. Service is really good and it's a take out place with no eat-in but I saw one small table outside I could eat at.

I placed an ordered on their website. It was easy and simple. Went to pick up my order and it was ready within the estimated time. This place is take out only. There are couple of benches inside and a table outside next to the entrance. The food overall was ok. Bun to meat ratio is higher. They do have some interesting items. I saw the garlic savory fried chicken on the menu and got very interesting in what it was. It was nothing special. Reminded me of the fried chicken you can get from Chinese restaurants but with a bit more flavor. If comparing the dim sum items to ABC Bakery or Dim Dim (D&D), ABC and Dim Dim are better. The best item was their baked bbq bun. It is a little different than other places. Just needed more meat filling. They are ok overall. It is always a good thing to have more options in the area.

The BBQ pork, roasted pork, and duck are really good! The way they cut it is not the thicker version, and the portion of meat they made is perfectly what we like. Not overly lean or overly fat. The roasted pork skin can be chewed through, and it's crunchy! The duck meat is easy to chew and flavorful. The sweet BBQ pork has a good fat ratio. They sell meat by the pound and can't go for half a pound. So it's not great for a small family that likes to try a variety of meats without the rice base. If you want to go for variety meat, it's better to choose their set. The staffs are friendly and quite efficient. The restaurant is clean and organized. The plaza is busy but has lots of parking.

Ordered through Door Dash to just do a pick up. I ordered the Crispy Pork. It went pretty fast because when I got there it was ready. I snacked a few in the car on the way home. You can see in my photos, you'll see I ate about 1/4 of it. Once I got home I tasted the powder container with the pork. The powder tasted like lemon pepper mix. I am not quite sure but it did have a zest flavor. I really like it. It's pretty pricy but I don't blame them In this economy. But overall it was worth it. Love it and I'm coming back for more z. Maybe I'll try roast duck next time.

Heard good things about this place and wanted to try. The place is a to go restuarant. There are no chairs and tables. There is a kiosk to place your order or you can order at the counter. Once you place your order and pay for your items. You just wait for them to call your number. The wait varies, I waited for about 15 mins. Things are made to order. The roast items are already made ahead of time, but they have to prepare it for you. I'm sure the lines can get long. I ordered a few dim sum items, a whole roast duck, and some crispy skin pork belly. In order to purchase the pork belly, you will need to order a pound or more. They don't sell anything less than a pound. The roast duck was really good. The duck had a lot of flavor. I really liked it. I would order again. As for the roasted crispy pork belly, I would pass on that. The meat was dry. The crispy skin was not that crispy. It was bad. Not worth the $18 per pound. The dim sum items were mostly good. The only item I did not like was the pan fried taro cake. It had an oily after taste and it was greasy. It tasted like they used old oil to pan fry the taro. It was not good at all. The steamed bows were really good. The char siu was moist and not dry at all. Had a good flavor. The bun part was warm and soft. Good consistency. Everything else that we tried was pretty good. I would definitely come back for a roast duck and the egg tarts. Their egg tarts were really good. Hopefully, the second time I come, their food consistency is there, still good.

This place is mainly a take out location. There really isn't set up to dine inside. My wife went there to get us some food. She was in the mood for a pork bun. I also wanted to try their roasted duck , so that too. She ended up coming back with food over $100 dollars When she arrived there was no big line to order. She had no problem ordering but while she waited more people started lining up to get food. She didn't preorder , she just got there and picked stuff out. You can order online or before and have your order ready when you pick it up. We ended up with the Yankee Signature Roasted Duck . The whole duck at $36.25. It was so flavorful and I loved it. Lots of meat with some boney parts to. I certainly would get it again. Duck is my favorite. Now the pork belly wasn't very crispy. I don't we will get this again. Plus you have to get a pound or more. They wouldn't sell a half pound. So pass The Fluffy BBQ Pork Bun. The meat was nicely filled and yummy. I liked them to. Now the wife ordered the baked pork bun and it was different than I am used to. The bun had some herbs or something in the actual bun part. It had a different flavor which we both enjoyed. Another great one to get. The pork and shrimp Siumai was just ok . nothing different that other places. The Celery Shrimp Hagow was nice. The skin wasn't think and I liked it. Good flavor. Their Chicken Sticky Rice Lotus Wrap was filled nicely. There was filling inside the rice and outside along the wrap part .Loved it. The Baked Custard Egg Tart. Wow it was really creamy. It wasn't cooked all the way and gave it a runny middle which was a surprise but made it taste even better. The crust was the flaky type not the hard kind. This one was a plus. I would totally go again. The food was pretty good. And a new place in Elk Grove. Loved it

This spot is basically a quick grab and go dim sum place. When you walk in, it's really bright, clean, and spacious, but there's no indoor seating at all so just keep that in mind before coming. Everything is self serve and you order from the touchscreen kiosk in the corner. The setup is simple and convenient if you're in a rush, but it definitely gives more food court/takeout vibes than an actual dim sum experience. We ended up ordering a variety of things to try since the menu looked promising. Honestly, the food was just okay and nothing really stood out. The shumai and har gow were decent but pretty average and didn't taste super fresh or memorable. One order comes with 3 pieces. The BBQ pork was probably the biggest disappointment because it was extremely fatty with barely any meat in some pieces. The roast duck looked good visually with the crispy skin, but it honestly barely had flavor which was surprising. The pork bun also had this weird aftertaste that kind of threw me off after a few bites. The chow mein was actually one of the better things we ordered because the noodles had good texture and flavor, but the portion was super small for the price. Everything felt overpriced for what you get, especially considering its takeout style with no dine in service. Overall, I left feeling like I would rather spend a little more money at an actual dim sum restaurant where you can sit down and get fresher food with bigger portions. Nothing we had was terrible, but nothing made me want to come back either. It's not the worst option if you're nearby and want something quick, but for the prices they charge, I expected a lot better quality and portion sizes. Unfortunately this just wasn't worth it for me and I probably wouldn't return.

I've been to the Yang Kee in Roseville once, and was excited to try this spot on the edge of EG! For this first visit on a Saturday late afternoon, they had a menu outside you could peruse, and paper menus to grab. People were standing/waiting to the left of the entrance by the window so I didn't actually see the kiosk option against the wall below the menu screens until later. The more obvious signage to "Order" at the counter was where I actually fell in line. The person ahead of me in line had some issues paying with cash but card payment was fine. Only one register. The duck, chicken, and pork all looked great, and they also have combos with rice or chowmein. Maybe add some chairs or benches for waiting, or a screen with order numbers and wait times/queue? I can't remember how long exactly it took to fulfill, but I didn't order any of the deli meats, only dimsum. For this first foray, tried their Fluffy BBQ Pork Buns (steamed), Sticky Rice & Chicken in Lotus Leaf, Pork & Shrimp Siumai, and Baked BBQ Pork Buns to-go. The steamed BBQ pork buns were my least favorite of the bunch, this order came with two pieces. The pork and shrimp shumai came with 3 pieces per order, and these were decently shrimpy and meaty, tasty albeit pale. The sticky rice had chicken and Chinese sausage and this was very good (2 pieces). The baked BBQ pork buns threw me off by looks since they had more of a flaky crust like a pineapple bun and some greenery dried herbs baked in rather than what I'd usually expect a baked BBQ pork bun to look like. The filling was pretty much the same as the steamed BBQ pork bun, but the flavor and texture of the baked bun was much much better going with it. For $20ish for 4 different dimsum items, this was pretty good. Mom was sad they didn't have chicken feet on the menu, though. Will definitely come back to try the duck, bbq pork, and crispy pork belly!

I went to Yang Kee during their soft opening. This restaurant is mainly a take out place with one table and a few chairs outside of the restaurant for someone who wants to have a quick sit down meal. The place looks clean and modern that gives a vibe of an upscale take out place. I ordered a few dim sum items for tea time: Crust Glutinous chicken dumpling, Seared shrimp and Chive potsticker, Pan fried taro cake and baked pineapple buns. Everything tasted fine except for the taro cake, which tasted like the cake was fried in old oil. I was so excited to see that item on the menu so I was disappointed. The restaurant prices seemed a little pricey but as a new restaurant, it's understandable that they priced their items at current inflationary prices. While waiting for the food to cook, I saw their crispy-skinned Cantonese whole roast ducks, char siu, soy sauce whole chicken and white cut whole chicken hanging by the window. The traditional presentation simply look gloriously shiny and enticing in a modern setting. I must return to get some of that for dinners. But the staff was simply wonderful. A group of 10 youngsters were working in the front showing how to provide fast services quietly through great teamwork. The cashier was particularly nice and patient when I suddenly experiencing that senior moments. It's the staff that I like about this place the most.

I made a second visit today and the quality dramatically went down. The main issue is that dishes with mushrooms were too slimy. Not because the mushroom wasn't fresh, but because it feels like they forgot to drain the mushroom before they mixed it with the other ingredients. It made the texture for my lotus wrapped chicken chicken have a weird texture. The deep fried beef balls barely has beef. The siu mai and hao gao did not taste as fresh as before. Yes, it is take out, but it did not felt as fresh as other places or as before. It feels similar to the grocery market ones where it sits out for a while.

My partner and I are big fans of Yang Kee and love their restaurant in Roseville and Davis, so we were excited when a spot opened up in Sacramento. This spot isn't a sit down restaurant and is take out only. I'm all right with that as long as the food is just as good. This spot serves different food than the restaurant. It has a menu more similar to dimsum I would say. The inside was clean and had the classic large window where you can see the workers prepare food with roasted duck hanging on the window. You can order on a self-service screen or order at the front. Now to the food! I got the roasted crispy pork belly, an order of hargow, an order of siumai, fluffy bbq pork, and chicken sticky rice lotus wrap. The price was okay. The crispy pork was pretty expensive, but they do give you a good amount and it was delicious to eat with a side of rice. The hargow and siumai were good, nothing special though. Same with the lotus wrap, good but nothing special. The fluffy bbq baos were delicious and my partner even commented on how good they were. This was soft opening so I would still have to try their whole menu.

Came back to this place, and the food quality is so much better, especially the roasted duck! Loving it. Will definitely come back again!
