Siu Kee Duck House

Very small place to order from but they have traditional roasted duck, char sui (pork), and ginger chicken. They accept cash and venmo, cc they charge a fee. I always come here to get duck! I'm originally from NYC, so this place is authentic and tastes like the duck and char sui I used to get in NY.

Dirty, rude etc. On Sunday i went to purchase a whole duck for someone. While the boy was packaging my order a women walked in from outside walked behind the counter and started handling food WITHOUT WASHING HER HANDS. I was so disgusted. With all the diseases and now deregulations the very least and thats sad in itself to say but at the very least you should wash your hands. So to sum it up. Female worker very unclean. Male worker probably dusty too. Was told that the Duck tasted awful. Dont waste your money here.🤮🤮🤮

The relatively new owners are dishonest period. They lied to charge more for food sold by weigh. For example, the younger fellow who cuts and weighs the roast pork (which they would not show you the reading after cutting and putting it on the electronic scale. The display is hidden due to the placement of the scale) would tell you it's a couple dollars over what you wanted and asked you if it would be ok. Once you okayed it, at check out time he would say it to himself (out loud) it's this much plus that much. I had ordered another item. When you asked him what's this much and that much, he would tell you the roast pork is actually still another couple more dollars. I should have been suspicious at that point, but was naive and fooled by his friendly smile all along. So, instead of pay $16 per pound, I paid $18 per pound for the roasted pork. I found out by weighing it on my own digital scale at home. The weight was not more than what I ordered, but the exact same. So, he lied and just charged more $4 for the pork. This place has exchanged ownerships several times over the decades.

STOP HERE ON YOUR WAY HOME FROM CHINATOWN!!!! Perfect to-go food for lunch the next day!!! This place is set up for meals TO-GO. Get the “three meats over rice” comes with 3 meats (bbq pork, soy sauce chicken & roasted duck) my teen boys LOVED THIS!!! Healthy lunch/dinner!!! Good portions. Affordable. Super friendly & AUTHENTIC!!! (We also got pig ears to try for fun... they are Interesting.... lol)

Take out only but they accept card. Meats are great! I love their pork feet, roasted duck and soy sauce chicken. So flavorful and meaty. Location is just right at the entrance of Chinatown gate. One of the best Chinese BBQ!

Great take out Chinese BBQ place. Don’t let the hole in the wall store front fool you. This place has great selection of meats. Three treasure rice with 3 choice meats is delicious! Meats were juicy and flavorful. Sauce over the rice was good. Comes with bone broth. Can get whole chickens or ducks. The only down side is it’s a little pricey for Chinatown. But worth the $$!

Ive been going here for many years. Food is good. I just suggest you look at your food before leaving. No one wants hair or anything else in there with their food that doesn't belong

This Chinese bbq shop has been here for years and has changed owners many times. The current employees are great, especially the younger guys up front. They are patient and understanding when I order my mix of Chinese & English words. Their food is great and always taste amazing. Prices have gone up here along with all the other restaurants. They take cash,venmo, and I believe credit cards now. They have menus in Chinese and English with pictures! Those pictures help a lot when you are ordering, especially for folks visiting for the first time. If you’re visiting for the first time, see below a list of my recommendations of things to try Menu recommendations: Honey Bbq roast pork (char siu) Roast duck Scallion chicken (their ginger oil dipping sauce is my favorite) Roast pig (this has a delicious crispy salted skin) Honey bbq quail

It's a takeout place that specializes in - you guessed it - duck, but they do it well. You can get copious amounts of duck to-go but, be warned, it isn't hot when it arrives so you have to be prepared to reheat it. But, if you love duck, these guys are serious about it!

Love this place! This is our go-to spot for consistently good char siu (bbq pork). Very reminiscent of the char siu you'd find in chinatown in NYC. This is also the perfect spot to grab a quick lunch. You go in, order, they chop up the meat, and they'll have it ready for you in 5 minutes or less. The complimentary soup they serve with each combo is a nice touch.

This place serves some of the best Chinese barbecue I've ever tasted. The restaurant is small with no seating, so it's strictly takeout. Service is impressively quick--my food is usually ready in about 5 minutes. I highly recommend the char siu pork, which is my personal favorite, but the duck and pork belly are also excellent choices.

Accepts credit cards but cash is cheaper--they won't increase published prices to account for tax. Roast duck was good but cold. No seating area. Relatively fast service.

This is a solid four. $10, which is the right price. Portion is a little on the small side but not unforgivably so at that price. And the pork has the right flavor. One star off because it's a bit fatty and they'll charge you 8% on credit card.

In Philly Chinatown, it seems that there's a Chinese BBQ place on every block. Although they all are tasty and priced similarly, we enjoyed this one particularly. It may be due to the BBQ marinate they use, or the cut of meat they use. But it just seems to be more flavorful, and tastier. It is a bit harder to find as it has a smaller store front. They do offer a full range of BBQ selection of duck, pork and pork belly, and chicken. I don't believe that they have a dine-in facility, since we always done take outs and did not observe any dining tables. They take either cash or credit cards.

This is a go-to pit stop to pick up a takeout lunch. The roast duck here is one of the best in the area! Have your $ ready and you'll be in and out with a lunch box to go in less than a minute.

Got 1 duck to take back with us. Price was $33. Duck was lean. Not busy. We were in and out in minutes

One of my biggest food regrets is not getting the three meat combination platter here at Siu Kee Duck House! I was kicking myself after seeing all of the amazing platters filled with definitely meat, it I was super glad I got to try the roast duck! I got the roast duck platter that was served with rice, greens, and a miso soup for $11. Not a bad deal at all for a quick lunch in Chinatown! The duck was super tender and basically fell off of the bone when I tried to pick it up! The rice also soaked up all of the juices from the duck meat and made it super flavorful! The mid soup was surprisingly really tasty as well! I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was! But definitely get the three meat combination platter when you go! Note: this place DOES take credit or debit cards

Roast duck and roast pig combo $11 Mostly bones and skin with dry pork Will not order again

Siu Kee Duck House was recommended by a friend so I had to try it, located in Chinatown near the gate. They only take cash. It is a very intimidate store with order only as they do not have any seats to dine in or dine out. I of course, ordered the 3 meat delight rice bowl with chinese broccoli. I chose the chicken, roast pork, and duck. I also order half a pound of pork belly. The chicken was flavored with ginger and green onion sauce. The roast pork was cooked perfectly and the duck was delicious with rice. Pork belly skin was crispy. Everyone was kind and got the food prepped very quickly. I would go back in a heartbeat.

If you are just walking on 10th street in Chinatown, you will most likely easily pass by this place without a second thought if it were not for the roasted ducks hanging in full display in the windows. If you grew up around Chinatowns in the US, this is nothing surprising. It just lets me know that good Chinese style meats are generally available this shop. When you walk in there, you will definitely notice that is a small and somewhat cramped area. There is enough space for you to stand there and order which is exactly what I did. The first time I was there I had the rice plate with 2 meat combo. I chose the Chinese BBQ pork (Char Siu) along with the roasted duck. It also comes with some pieces of Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan). The pork was juicy and the duck was great as well. I appreciated the low price too as a California transplant, this exact same lunch plate would be at least 25% more expensive back home. The second time I went I decided to just get a 1 meat combo as I much prefer the BBQ pork over the duck at baseline. This ended up being just $7, which I considered a steal! Overall, I will recommend coming here if you are looking for something cheap/to go. They do not take card. Cash and Venmo!

On a recent trip from Miami, I was looking forward to visiting Philly Chinatown. This tiny place did not disappoint, the sound of the cook chopping the meat on the wooden block, seeing the array of cooked ducks hanging in the windows, and smelling the trifecta of cooked meat, duck, pork, and chicken. I definitely had the duck and roast pork combo sitting under a bed of perfectly cooked white rice and steamed veggies. It was delicious! Make sure you swing by there whenever you are in town.

A small spot in Chinatown that serves an amazing Three Treasure Rice with very nice and hardworking employees. The Three Treasure Rice comes in those styrofoam boxes filled with rice, some veggies, two types of their delicious ducks, and roasted pork that just melts in your mouth. This also comes with a soup. These glistening jewels bursts with flavor and leave you stuffed. The only slight down side is that the duck skin isn't as crispy as I'd like, but still delicious. All the flavor and juices gets soaked into the rice and vegetables making them a rich and soaked with flavor. The whole roasted duck itself fills up two containers is just as delicious. The same downside is that the duck skin isn't as crispy as I'd like it to be. The crispy skin can really make it break a good roasted duck, but the great flavors make up for it a little. I love that they give you a cup of sauce for each half or container, sometimes places only give you one. It's a great place to grab lunch or get some duck for dinner or an event. It's well worth the price and I can't wait to go back for more.

The food was amazing. Coming from NYC, I'm actually surprised that it was soooooooooo good. Highly recommend. The Peking duck was so darn good- I'm still thinking about it. 5 fives +

Best place to get duck or char siu in Chinatown! Price is reasonable compared to other restaurants in Chinatown. The duck and char siu are very flavorful. One whole duck fits 2 rectangular styrafoam container. Good for parties or quick dinner.

Meh. $12 for this three meat combo plate that comes with pork, duck and chicken. Quality felt mediocre. The veggies are a nice touch. I didn't think this meal was anything special. Flavor was almost there. But honestly, I wasn't really impressed.

A highlight and a perk in being in Downtown Philly is that Downtown Chinatown is right next to the convention center. I found many yummy eats in Downtown Chinatown and this place is one of my highlights. So note this place is JUST takeout and this isn't sit down place here. If you are looking places to sit, head over to the convention center or hotel as their is space. So when you first enter you get greeted with how great the food smells. I only went during dinner time and their was a few people in line. Hidden secret about Sui Kee Duck House is the price. It is SO CHEAP. You can good size dinner for under 10 dollars. Note that this place is cash only as cash is king. The duck was flavorful and the skin is crispy. So good, so yummy. I will miss you duck!

After two years I figured it was time to get over my salty self. I arrived an hour before closing and ordered chasiu and roast pork over rice. For an extra $1 they gave me a few pieces of liver. I am sure if I had asked in Chinese they would've given it to me for free like they did for my SO and another reviewer here. Soup comes with the rice meals so make sure you ask if they don't give it to you. I had to ask this time. Like another reviewer said, everything is very salty. The liver and some pieces of pork were so salty I couldn't finish. The chasiu was the exception. Well marbled and a little sweet, I would come back just for that. Oddly the soup was bland. I was surprised because last time my SO got takeout from Siu Kee the soup was the best part. For only $8 it was an okay meal. I know from past experience that the roast duck is good (when they actually give you meat and not bones...). I will probably just stick to roast duck and chasiu from now on. I gave them another try but I'm still salty...

Saw Mikey Chen go here so I decided to give it a shot and it did not disappoint. I got the 3 meat combo - roasted duck, soy sauce chicken and roasted pork - and each one was delicious. The duck was meaty, as was the chicken. The skin on the roast pork was crispy but I did get quite a few pieces that had mostly fat and it was all maybe a tad too salty but I'd still go back because it's a great deal and it was overall still very delicious.

You'll probably overlook this place as another hole in the wall Chinatown spot. Don't. It's one of the best quick eats in Chinatown-- let alone Philly. Having eaten at some dozen Philly Chinese restaurants, I'm increasingly confident about this. The duck bao is two for $5. While not the biggest bao, the flavor of the duck is mouthwatering and the bun has that perfect "just risen" mantao consistency. I'm going to cater 1000 of these for my wedding. The you pick two meats plate is incredible as well. I paid some $7ish, and I devoured it in the takeout container it came in with my gf. It was kinda a look, because it was rainy and at night-- but I'm pretty sure the awesome and intoxicating duck smell drove a few would-be passerbyers into the store to "have what they're getting". The rice. Oh, the rice. One of the most savory rice I've ever had (I think they use the broth to make it). I'd make a meal out of the rice itself. Other notes: the veggies are great, and the pork and duck are the same quality I'd find at a $30 a meal establishment. Let's talk about the spot itself. You won't fit more than 10 people in there at once, so maybe don't tell too many friends about this hidden gem. It's a family owned business and the owners, who I briefly chatted with, are hard, hard workers. Give it a shot and give them your patronage. They've earned it.

Good quick take out shop and cheap eats. It's small but packed with lots of flavors. I visited them at around 7-8pm and ordered a couple things Togo. The duck was cooked well and flavorful. However the quails were more salty than I like, and overpowering the honey glazed. They have other bbq dishes as well, would visit again when I'm in town.

My girlfriend ended up ordering a bunch of food here from Siu Kee Duck House. She got a whole roasted duck, whole scallion chicken, and a some char siu pork. She tried to order the roast pork as well, but it had sold out before noon. Definitely a sign of how amazing the food here is. The restaurant is very small; strictly counter service with no tables inside. They also accept cash only. The food here is incredible though! Love the slightly sweet flavor of the char siu pork. The scallion chicken was very moist and tender. Same for the roasted duck. I wish the skin for the chicken and duck was crispy, but the flavors are still really good. I've been eating all three as leftover for the last 3 nights and it still tastes amazing!

Ordered a whole duck here. Its not as good as what I used to get in Toronto or Socal, but for east coast standards, its pretty decent (best I've had yet). I'll definitely order again if I'm in town. Its in Chinatown (downtown), so parking is annoying

The best roast duck and crispy pork in Philadelphia, always delicious!!! This is the place for take out in Chinatown.

Christmas lunch, anyone? Thankfully they were open Christmas day. It's the little miracles. From their roast pork to the scallion chicken, your Chinese staples can be had here, and for a competitive price. If you're hopeless in the kitchen like I am, Siu Kee will deliver[1]. Pig ears? Yes, please. Find them in Chinatown. [1] Don't know if they'll actually deliver. But we did pick up.

Not a strong recommend, there's better places in Chinatown to get duck. There was too much bone, the rice and vegetables seem undercooked as well. The quail was great though; it was the first time I've tried, I don't know if the color and sweetness are natural or added but it was the highlight for me.

I grew up coming here and the quality has gone down hill. Today (Thanksgiving) I tried their Peking duck. They obviously are known for their roast duck but thought I'd try the Peking duck. First, they use the same roast duck so the skin is not crispy. They also are not skilled at cutting the duck thinly. The buns they provided were stale. Half a Peking duck was 22 dollars and a full duck had no discount at 44 dollars (for reference sang kee is 24 and 36 respectively and m kee had a line around the block today). I found both of those facts out after I bought the full duck at siu kee and basically paid an extra 20 bucks for stale buns, scallions and hoisin sauce. Absolutely not worth it. I also ordered the crispy pork a couple weeks ago and it was dry and tasted old. I will not be returning.

Ahh, my type of place--small establishment, nothing fancy, smells good inside, and full of cheap and good eats. If there's no line, expect your order to be ready in 3 to 5 minutes. The owners are super friendly and welcoming. Keep in mind that Siu Kee Duck House is strictly takeout and cash only. We ordered a one-meat combo ($6) and x2 two-meat combos ($7/ea), and ended up trying the siu yuk (crispy roasted pork), cha siu (honey BBQ roasted pork), and the siu aap (roasted duck). Each order comes with rice and Chinese greens (we received yu choy). Of the three meats we tried, the crispy pork was probably our favorite. The meat was juicy and flavorful, while the thin crispy skin was, well...crispy and delicious. As for the roast duck, we found it to be flavorful and not overpowering. A lot of places I've eaten at get a little heavy-handed with the five-spice (which I actually like), but the flavor here is much more balanced. Their honey BBQ pork, which seems to be really popular, is pretty good. It didn't blow me away, but it's certainly tender and full of flavor. One star docked off for the thick and crunchy layer of fat (below the skin) on one piece of crispy pork that I found inedible in my order. Outside of that, this place is pretty good.

Strictly Dumpling came here, so I had high expectations. We ordered the 3 treasure rice with roast pork, char siu, and roast duck. The roast pork was a bit dry and they didn't give us any skin. We only really got one good piece of roast duck, and the rest was more bone than anything else. The char siu and grease soaked veggies and rice were good though. If you come here, try to be more watchful than we were and request the good pieces.

One of my favorite take out places in Chinatown! No place to sit, so just order and enjoy elsewhere. Less wait than Sangkee with comparable prices. Their roast pork is super crunchy, BBQ pork is nicely flavored, chicken is never dry, and duck is juicy!

The roast duck is awesome! It never disappoints. They also have duck wings which is so hard to find. You can order it by the containers. Awesome little place that has great and fresh bbq meats.

The roast duck was great and the price was very reasonable. I usually buy at Ting Wong, but they are not open due to the pandemic so I tried this place out and I'm happy I did

Imagine being able to get some of the tastiest roast duck in the city for a low price . You can make this a reality by visiting Sui Kee Duck House located at the Southern Entrance of Philadelphia Chinatown on North 10th Street . This takeout place offered a whole roast duck for $22 . The rice and vegetables on the side a buck per side . This Fowl had quite crispy skin . The dark meat is moist surrounded by a sliver of fat creating a slippery succulent sensation with each bite . If you feel the need for more flavor the sauce on the side gives this bird a savory that is something to quack about . In addition to Duck they also sell roasted chicken & pork including cuts like pig ears . The service was friendly and efficient. You can take your duck home whole or cut up .

I like this little hole in the wall, there's usually some dead animals in the window And it's a bit greasy, if you like duck this is where to get it. Period. I like to get the little two dollar sandwiches they make to-go they are awesome.

This place is a tiny little gem in Chinatown! I was trying the go to the nearby K.C. bakery and found this awesome roasted duck and scallion chicken shop! Cash only though. It is a really tiny shop as there were no inside dining tables, so to go is the only option. I could tell it's very popular among the locals because people dress super casually and talk to the owner (the lady handling the cash) in Mandarin/Cantonese in a way as they are frequent customers. The staff was quick and efficient, and I could see most people order roasted duck or scallion chicken as a whole or in half over the combination box which comes with vegetables and rice. The lady who took my order was super friendly. I ordered half roasted duck (烧鸭) and half scallion chicken (葱油鸡) in a total of $20 in cash. The scallion chicken was juicy and the salt level was right on point. The roasted duck was a little greasy for me, but the duck meat was pretty lean so the combination of lean meat and greasiness turned out to by okay. I definitely prefer the scallion chicken over the roasted duck. The scallion chicken reminds me the Hainan Chicken that I had back in Asia. Also, The lady put a good amount of green onions on the top of the scallion chicken before she handed them to me. She even gave me two pieces of Brine duck heart& liver for free at the end as I told her it's my first time in Philly. Overall, super friendly and nice service here. The food is definitely authentic (Hong Kong styled roasted duck) I'll definitely come back for their food!

The pictures look so good but it was okay in person. For the price, you can't beat a $6 combo for rice + meat + vegetable. I went with the crispy pork meal. Unfortunately, the pork was served cold on top of warm rice. I was hoping for warm meat. I ate it anyway because I was so hungry. Overall, great customer service and very kind individuals.

Came in during pandemic! Roast duck was solid, as expected. I throw this in the air fryer and heat up some steamed buns, sliced scallion, and hoisin sauce to get my peking duck fix!

I checked this place out for the first time today, and I wasn't a fan given how little meat they gave. Definitely not as much as shown in the pictures on this Yelp page (and all my three friends also agreed that there was almost no meat and that I got gypped). My friend's order had an okay amount if meat and we basically got the same thing (mine was actually a dollar more expensive), so the portions are just not consistent and just not great overall. It is only take out, so I didn't even see the portion until I had left their establishment. They also don't offer any pan-fried noodle option as a base, so you have to eat it with rice. I heard this place is comparable to Mkee but it really isn't in terms of price or quantity or taste. I had hoped to enjoy it more but definitely not planning on spending $8 here again.

Good location Good foods Good for carry out ! Reasonable price ! Best in Chinatown ! Good BBQ stuff here , and very good service !

Sui Kee is my go-to for honey bbq pork. My whole family loves their food. I've been training wing chun several doors down for a little over a year, lived in Philly near my whole life, and have tried many different dine-in restaurants and take out. Sometimes the pork is more fatty, sometimes more lean - I like lean, but have trader pieces for those who prefer fat as it's richer in flavor. What can I say - go. Try it. It's not a marriage unless you find your love. Cross the street to Sweet House for pork buns or sticky rice. Enjoy.

I ordered the roast pork and rice bowl. It came with steamed veggies which were really fresh. The pork itself was good too -- crispy on the outside and tender throughout. They raised their price by $1 (almost didn't have enough cash) and I felt my box was slightly smaller than what I've seen in the pictures.

What a great deal! I ordered a whole roasted "pe pa" duck for dinner with parents last night. I arrived a little earlier but the friendly ladies of Siu Kee happily picked a very delicious looking roasted duck and sliced it quickly for me. The duck I got was not very sweet which was what I had asked for. (Thank you!) The meat was sooo tender and my parents absolutely loved it. Totally recommended!

This place is always take-out only so the current COVID-19 pandemic did almost nothing to affect the customer experience. The only barrier (literally) was that when you step inside the landing, there are large cardboard boxes barricading the way towards the food counter, so you have to stick your head through and shout at the lady to get her attention if she's not in the front. This leaves little room for customers to line up inside - I guess this is intentional for social distancing purposes. Don't be turned off if she's a little cold with customers, you definitely don't come here for polite customer service, but she is very straightforward with answering questions. *Combination Box: These are generally $9 each right now. It comes with a pint-sized portion of white rice (extra rice is possible for extra $$) topped with steamed Chinese veggies (usually something like yu choy / choy sum) and your choice of meat. When we came, there was no more roast pig, so we opted for ginger scallion chicken and roast duck. No regrets there, this place lives up to its name of being a Duck House! Beautifully flavored savory roast duck with great texture. The ginger scallion chicken is very generously flavored, almost on the salty side, but still delicious. The pieces are on the smaller more chewy side which seems more traditional, and not the typical chunky white American chicken breast cut of chicken. *Honey BBQ Pork Belly: This as well as the roast pig normally costs $15/lb as a side dish, so we ordered it just as a side. She only had two thirds of a pound left so we took it all. It's char siu flavor, super authentic, not too sweet (I don't like it too sweet anyway). Our party of four got full enough off of three combination boxes plus the side order of 2/3 lb of honey BBQ pork belly. I'm so looking forward to coming here again and trying the roast pig if they have it available, because so far based on the poultry and the BBQ pork belly, I'm so sold.

Super friendly staff and great roast pig! The skin is very crispy and the meat is juicy. Some places over-roast the pork so the skin gets super crispy but then the meat dries out. I haven't tried the other meats but looking to try roast duck next!

Overrated as heck. I've had their crispy roasted pork and Peking duck a few times, both were pale in comparison to Hung Vuong Food Market's BBQ stand near 12th and Washington. Their crispy roasted pork is $15/lb. Hung Vuong's $11.50/lb. In this case, premium prices did not equate to superior quality.

My favorite place to get Cantonese roast meats in Philly. The folks who work there are always really nice, kind. The prices are reasonable. Cash only, so plan accordingly. The roast pig is better than any I've gotten elsewhere. It's soooooo juicy. Other joints tend to overcook this cut. Siu Kee's is alway soft, flavorful without relying on a shitton of five spice. The skin is crispy heaven. $12/lb. The roast duck is THE meatiest duck being sold, that I've ever found. Again, not subjected to an over abundance of five spice. My mom had scallion chicken over rice. She said the chicken was nice and soft, the flavor lovely, but she could NOT stop going on about how flavorful the rice was. It's just a small take out joint, with a limited menu. But what they have on offer is the best I've had. I've had a lot of Cantonese roast meat joint food, in a lot of places. This is my favorite place to get it.

I tried the roast duck over rice and it's so original and delicious!!! Surely would come here again!

This place is a very small shop with no place to sit down and eat so you will have to always take out your order. After finally getting the chance to try this place, I personally think this place's honey roasted pork and peking duck is on par if not slightly better than that of nearby competitor Sangkee Peking Duck House. It may be the slightly higher fat content in their pork and duck, but both meats have an added moisture of original flavor that I can't quite explain, satisfying the taste buds and encompassing the traditional Chinese flavorings you may experience at other Chinatown restaurants. Once you enter, you will see a list of menu items taped on their glass panels. You can order just the meats by weight or get a meat or 2 with white rice and some cabbage on the side for ~$6.00. Cash only, but worth it if you looking to satisfy that Peking duck or roasted pork craving. Enjoy!
