  Called in for takeout yesterday. Got wonton noodle soup and house special noodles. Got there in 10 mins and the food was being freshly packed. The service was quick. $20 for those two dishes. Restaurant was nice, cool temp, and clean place. Little small but good. The house noodle is my favorite. Asked for no bean sprouts but of course they forgot and there were tons of bean sprouts. Other than that it was fine. The both in the wonton was a little salty for my taste. The wontons were yummy  and bok choy was fresh.
  
  Parking is a little tight but works well for the small restaurant size.
  
  I'd come back for the hours especial noodle and to try a few other items.

  Came for breakfast combo of the noodles and porridge. The salted pork bone with preserved vegetables porridge is pretty good. It's not overly salty. The house fried vermicelli is also pretty good. The breakfast combo comes with milk tea or coffee. The wonton noodles is also delicious. They don't offer togo cups for the drink unless you pay 50cents.
  
  Food itself is 4 stars, but when i asked for my food togo, they only gave me half of it. We saw them pour my porridge into a small togo container, but when the small container was full, they tossed the rest of my food, and there was 30-40% left. Really disappointed that they had done that.
  
  Small lot to the side of the restaurant. It was packed when we came around 10am on a Sunday.

  This place has been around for a while now and I don't know why it was my first time coming here but I'm super glad that I finally got to try this place. Ho Kee Cafe offers Cantonese style food and they're known for their noodle soups.
  
  I ordered their Wonton Noodle Soup and my friends ordered the Roasted duck and Roasted Pork Noodle Soup. I LOVED the wonton noodle soup because everything was perfect...their soup was light but flavorful, their wontons were huge and full of shrimps, and their egg noodles were perfect in texture because it wasn't too soggy and it had a perfect chew to it.
  
  There's tons of selection here, from authentic Canto dishes to porridges to noodle soups and many more. I know they're known for their ducks so the next time I come by, I will definitely try them.
  
  Service was good also, they also have a parking lot so it's easy to access.

  Recently came here for breakfast to try it out since we didn't want to wait in the long line for Delicious Food Corner. This place unfortunately is not as good as Delicious Food Corner.
  
  We ordered the Hong Kong style bun, shrimp rice noodle, pork liver rice noodle, and milk tea with coffee. Both rice noodles were really disappointing. Typically the shrimp and pork liver should be wrapped inside the rice noodle and incorporated together. However, at this place, the shrimp and pork liver were simply garnishes on top. Lazy. Secondly, the sauce was off. It just didn't taste good. The Hong Kong style bun was okay overall but was a bit too flakey for my liking.
  
  Overall, it's a clean restaurant inside and similar to other Hong Kong style restaurants offering HK style breakfasts. However, food is subpar and I probably wouldn't return.
