Review Summary
Around 80% of reviewers praise Po Kee BBQ Restaurant for its consistently flavorful Cantonese barbecue, highlighting standout dishes like char siu, crispy pork, roasted duck, and goose, with comments such as "absolutely delicious," "packed with flavor," and "must try when visiting." Service is described as friendly, fast, and attentive by most (about 70%), though a small minority mention rushed or brusque staff, particularly during busy times or when seeking menu advice. Value for money is often noted, with generous portions and affordable pricing for most meats (HKD 40–62), though several reviews cite the menu as "pricier" and goose portions as "bony" or "oily." Roughly 20% highlight drawbacks: cramped dining space, long lines during peak hours, a strict cash-only policy, occasional shortages of popular items (crispy pork, goose leg), and cold air conditioning affecting food temperature. Negative reviews (about 10%) mention “just bones” in goose dishes, wrong sauces, or overrated BBQ pork, but these are outweighed by overwhelmingly positive feedback on food quality and local authenticity.
