Just came back from Home Keep BBQ sorry to say our experience did not live up to what I have read.
Hon Lee’s food was fantastic. We had a family member in town and he wanted some duck and Chinese so we went here.
I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at Hon Kee.

“Oh how much I’ve missed this place!”
Oh how much I’ve missed this place!! I moved to Florida in 2012 and have missed coming to eat here for the longest! Made my way back recently and preferred my favorite crispy fresh wide rice noodle with beef in gravy sauce! AMAZING!!! Wish I had more!

“Friday night savior.”
Friday night savior. This restaurant was able to accommodate a party of 9. We originally were stunned by the Ambiance and beautiful chandeliers. Large tables with lazy susans available. Easy parking right out front. Hot tea available for all tables. Peking duck! Get the Peking duck! It comes with bao buns that are phenomenal. Duck sauce was savory and and excellent addition. Friendly service.

“My girlfriend and I stopped by Hon Kee after shopping at our favorite grocery store, Tai Nam.”
My girlfriend and I stopped by Hon Kee after shopping at our favorite grocery store, Tai Nam. Since she had been here before, she highly recommended we stop by for lunch and it did not disappoint! For my first visit, I ordered the BBQ Duck & Chicken with Rice & Broccoli, while she got the BBQ Pork & Duck. Words can’t describe how incredible the meal was! The duck was perfectly tender, packed with rich flavor, and had just the right amount of saltiness to complement the savory sauce. Every bite was absolutely delicious. To top it off, the fresh smoothie I tried was so refreshing and smooth—the perfect way to complete the meal. Hon Kee is a must-try for anyone craving authentic, flavorful BBQ in Chicago’s Vietnamese Town. We’ll definitely be back!

“Visited Chicago and was introduced to the owners and owners son through my mentor.”
Visited Chicago and was introduced to the owners and owners son through my mentor. We were able to try their peking duck, chow fun, and bbq braided pork and wonton soup. My personal favorite was the wonton soup but everything tasted amazing. The owners were extremely kind and hospitable and we were able to drink a sip of wine with the owner and some of the locals. I could tell it's a community based restaurant and all the locals were coming here to eat some good Chinese food. I really had an amazing time. Shout-out to Mike and his family!

“Hon Kee offers comforting Cantonese flavors that bring a sense of home.”
Hon Kee offers comforting Cantonese flavors that bring a sense of home. Their BBQ options are affordably priced and very well made — we've especially enjoyed the BBQ roasted duck and pork. Their home-cooked-style dishes like Pork Stomach Chicken Casserole 猪肚鸡煲, Egg Tofu, and Pancit Canton 干烧伊面 are also delicious. Their seafood dishes, like the lobster and sea cucumber, were decent but we feel we have had better quality from other restaurants. The service at Hon Kee is consistently warm and friendly. Overall, with an extensive menu and generous portions, this is a great choice for anyone craving authentic Cantonese flavors.
