Tak Kee Lee

Tak Kee Lee is a no-frills, simple cha chaan teng. I came with a group of friends, and luckily, some of them speak Cantonese, which made ordering so much easier. Everything we ordered was solid:- Beef Chow Fun- Fried Chicken Wings with Spicy Lemongrass Sauce- House Special Fried Rice- Won Ton Soup- Milk teas and teas (not pictured)The serving portions are great, especially for their prices. Parking isn't too hard in the area either. Come here if you're looking for reasonably priced, HK-style food!

One of the last few cha chaan teng (I think) in SF! I was craving something quick, simple and easy for breakfast and this place was relatively cheap for what I wanted. I've been here a few times and love that it gives me the same vibes as HK. The service is quick and there's a few tables but it gets waited quickly. It's more suitable for a party of 2-4. For a price less than $10, you get a filling meal along with a drink. Please bring cash! They're a cash only business. I think they recently just started a Venmo account which is helpful if you're strapped for cash. The staff are mostly Cantonese speaker but do know minimal English for orders.

I only live a few blocks from this place and never went inside until now. It's a traditional cha chaan teng (HK tea cafe), with the normal foods you'd find in such an establishment. I'd heard about their ngai cha (HK milk tea), and went in specifically for that. It's pretty good, comparable to Fung Wong a block away, and while it's not as fancy or as large, it's half the price ($3.50 vs $6.50).I'd love to try out their food, although they're only open in the morning and afternoon. They're cash only, although they do have Venmo, which is an excellent perk. One thing to note is that most staff do not speak English, and the ones that do aren't exactly fluent. For me, it was a good way to practice my limited Cantonese, but if you don't speak the language, you might need to gesture and point to menu items.

For anyone that likes HongKong Style food this is the spot to go. Can't go wrong with anything here. I got this Soy Sauce Chicken Leg Togo and this thing was juicy. Along with this I love their Lemon grass chicken too. Also if you want a quality and almost identical milk tea from HongKong, this is the place to get it at. Highly recommend for a Hong Kong dining experience!

Great lunch specials, generous portions and tasty hk style meals. Definitely recommend.

Tak Kee Lee is great for HK-style breakfast, which is what hubs was craving. He started off with the chicken wings and french fries - arrived hot and crispy, but the wings are small. My go-to is the fried chicken leg with fried egg over rice. Love how crispy the chicken leg is - quite flavorful and filling. Hubs ordered the fried pork chop and spam over rice. Kiddo ordered the combination ramen. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We were lucky and got seated right when we arrived, but it all comes down to timing as this place tends to get busy. Line started forming soon after.

The place to go for Traditional HK style menu in American portions. The drink menu is pretty nice as well. Hk milk tea was quite good as well and you can ask for sweetness level. Service is fast and prompt much like in HK. The ambiance as well... much like HK! We were there at 11:45 am on a Sunday and wasn't too crowded. Though only had this place once, love the style and will be back to try rest of the menu!

Came here with the in-laws and had lunch. Foods good and it gets packed. Make sure to get here early and if you're ordering some oven baked items, it might take a while. Def still a gem for the price it is, cash only.I enjoyed my won ton lo mien and iced lemon coke. We also ordered curry oxtail rice, baked oxtail over rice, and baked pork chop.Just a lot of people enjoying their lunch and watching the tv that they have there.

I came by for breakfast with my mom. I looked up on Yelp for Hong Kong style breakfasts. We were both interested in the porridge that came with either a noodle, rice roll or Chinese fried donuts. However, when we arrived and placed our order, the lady told us that they do not service that part of the menu anymore though they still hand you that part of the menu when you sit down. She said they haven't serviced that in a LONG time. :/ WHELP.We end up both getting the breakfast noodle soup ($9.95) that comes with either Hong Kong style milk tea, coffee or juice. If you'd like it iced its an extra $1.70. The menu allows you to choose which type of noodle you want (ranging from rice noodle, spaghetti, egg noodle, etc) and 3 toppings. The toppings ranged from ham, luncheon meat (spam), beef, chicken, fried egg, fish balls, etc. It seems like the toppings are majority protein as the only veggie option was (preserved vegetable & meat or the preserved mustard & meat). I ordered the flat rice noodle with luncheon meat, fried egg, and the preserved mustard with meat (pork) and choose the hot milk tea for my drink. The hot milk tea comes with or without condensed milk (they will ask). Very typical Hong Kong style milk tea. The noodle soup was actually pretty tasty. The soup hit the spot on that cold December day. It was a clear chicken broth, had good flavor and wasn't very salty. The noodles were soft yet not so much that it broke easily. The fried egg was over medium which was nice because I don't like over soft eggs so that worked out in my favor. The preserved veggie and meat actually made my noodle soup put together. I really enjoyed the homeyness of the bowl of noodles. Even though we weren't anticipating getting noodle soup for brunch, my mom and I enjoyed our noodle soups. The service was pretty quick around 10:30am, though it was also pretty packed inside. We were in and out within 30 minutes. There were multiple tables of 2-4, so definitely more so a hole in the wall and not that suitable for larger groups. Parking was fairly easy if you were to pay the meter ($2.25 or $2.50/ hour), residential parking was harder to find. FYI CASH ONLY!

if you don't like this place u might not be cantoneseFirst off, the lemongrass chicken wings are nothing short of amazing. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with a fragrant lemongrass flavor that lingers in the best way possible. These wings are an absolute standout.their HK milk tea might just be the best version of it i've ever had. objectively it's a hard drink to pull off yet they're able to do it *well* even if u look @ all the other reviews even critics they admit the milk tea is solid. a must orderFinally, the tomato beef chow mein was an unexpected delight. The sauce was perfectly tangy and savory, clinging to the crispy noodles just the way it should. The beef was tender, and the tomato added a refreshing brightness to the dish.
