Hardly fine dining or luxury eating, but despite its rough edges and slightly down at heel look the place delivers.
Good food, promptly served at a reasonable price.
The place clearly gets a tick of approval from locals. The first night we tried to get in the queue was about five deep. The place isn't big and even though they've played "restaurant tetris" and squished as many tables in as humanly possible there are limited seats.
A bowl of wonton soup arrived in a bowl the size of a bucket and was hot and delicious, the roast duck was as expected and the crispy chicken was just what it said.
If I was living in Canberra this would be a regular stop
brilliant food.
had the laksa which had all the authentic flavourings but needed to be a little bit more intense, maybe a bit more fish sauce. but very impressive for a place that doesn't specialize in laksa
century egg congee was nice. Cruellers (short bread) were delicious and hot.
duck was very well presented, meat was fresh and well textured.
only complain with be lay out and lighting. i felt the really cool lighting temperature and table lay out felt a bit outdated. Food is perfect.
Okay, I probably went to Tak Kee more than I should. But honestly, I can never get enough of their roast pork, roast duck, and wonton soup. Reasonable price, always packed during dinner time, generous portions. Claimed to be the oldest Chinese bbq in Canberra, their roasts are just perfect. Other dishes are also great, although I keep getting the same thing each time.
