Delicious food, great service and fantastic prices. I always go to Gong KEE for their family size party trays and dine in. Their portions are huge ! Great for large family meals and take out as well. They even have fresh BBQ ! Highly recommend!

I never come to this area of the city, however I asked the lady who cut my hair where she thought might be a good place for Vietnamese food. I will review that place after I’m finished with this one. Okay it’s a small place located in a strip mall, just down the street from the Forest Lawn High school. They have a few lunch specials listed on the outside in the window. You can order(sweet and sour pork with fried rice),(chicken wings with fried rice),(wonton soup and spring rolls), and(ginger beef with fried rice). All of these were for $ 7.99 a plate. add a canned pop for $ 1.00. I came in a b tiny bit apprehensive as my two boys and I were the only ones who were in the small restaurant.(The time was 11:50 a.m.). As we ordered, the restaurant did get busier. I would say about half full, and they were doing a fairly steady takeout(pick-up) business as well. As for the food, the fried rice was good(a huge portion), and the chicken wings were over battered.(tasty otherwise). The sweet and sour pork combo was good, it came with the same big portion of fried rice and the sweet and sour pork was the usual with green peppers, onions, and pineapple. The spring roll wasn’t anything to write home about.(It was average). I never had a chance to look at the menu, as I asked for the lunch specials that were on the front window. The tables that were in front and behind me, ordered combination meals.(combo A’s) to be exact. When those plates came out, they were a heaping plate full of fried rice, ginger beef ?, and mixed vegetables. (I think if I go back, I’ll try a combo). The restaurant itself is small(about 10 – 12 tables) most are tables for 4. I think if memory serves me correctly they had a bigger round table that could seat 5. This restaurant also sells bbq pork by the lb. as well as bbq duck. Its like the ones you would see in Chinatown hanging from the windows. In conclusion, would I go back to this place? Maybe if I’m in the area. The food is average, but the prices are pretty good. You can a plate full of chinese food, for the price of a Macdonald’s Big Mac meal.

Mom and Pop owned. The dad is the cook, while siblings are the frontliners. LOVE their crispy chicken… you never go wrong. If you dont mind ambiance, AWESOME food, very reasonable price for the amount and the quality of food, this is a definite hidden gem. call ahead to order and within 15 – 20 minutes, its ready for pick-up anyday of the week except for wednesdays. they are open 10am til 10pm weekdays, weekends they close later. real authentic chinese food, great service on top of it all… oh they accept —-cash and visa and mastercard. no debit nor amex

I have been to once before. The impression that it left me the last time was that this place was expensive. This time I just happened to be in the neighbourhood and needed to grab a quick lunch, so I came back. Again the prices are on the high side. The BBQ pork(char siu) quality is average but the portions are larger than average(but still doesn’t justifies the price). The rice was cooked with too much water. I am afraid better food could be had for less money just a short drive to the north. T&T supermarket offers decent Chinese BBQ meats for cheap and Pebble Street in the same mall offer the same thing for cheaper prices than Gong Kee(which says alot, since Pebble Street have prices on the higher end too).
