I came here as a little kid and fell in love with wonton noodle soup because of this restaurant. I typically just get the shrimp wonton noodle soup or the shrimp+beef option. The broth is the right amount of saltiness that I crave. All for a fairly cheap price too!
The staff here work quickly and are very friendly! There are plenty of seats but you'll find that no one stays too long. This is because the food timing is impeccable! So, if you're in a rush for lunch, this is an awesome place to go for a heraty, quick meal.
TIP: hot water or teas are self-serve at the back. -

Literally can't go wrong with this place. Simple menu everything under $10. I usually get the shrimp wonton noodle for $7. Amazing. Plus you can get a size of greens for $3.
The shrimp wonton is MASSIFFFF. The best. The broth is pretty plain but when you got such good wontons.... Delicious -

Great spot for a quick and comforting meal!
My brother and I wandered into Kim Chai Kee wanting to try something different than our usual go-to spot across the plaza, Magic Noodle. The restaurant is open and spacious, with big windows that really brighten up the space. The servers are friendly and service is quick. Water and tea are self-serve.
I ordered the Wonton and Fishball Rice Noodle ($8). My brother had the Signature Lo Mein ($9) which had wonton, beef, and fishball. We also shared the veggie plate ($3). Food was very no-frills, good but nothing too special. I was a little sad to see that my bowl of soup only came with two wontons, but for the price I guess I can't complain. Next time I'll definitely get the soup without the noodles (about $1 more but you get more wontons/fishballs), as it seems to be better value. Portion was perfect for me but I can see it being a little small for a big eater (ahem, my brother).
Overall, good food for the price. Atmosphere and food were comforting and reminded me of my mom's cooking. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area with someone with a smaller appetite! -

Cheap and super fast! If you are looking for a quick warm and affordable meal this is definitely it. The taste in my opinion was alright. The soup did not have much flavor, but the wontons were super fat and filled. They were definitely the winner of the dish.

I had lunch here with my parents and it was excellent.
My dad got the A1 ($9) which was wontons, beef, and fish balls with noodles soup. My mom got the C2 ($8) which was wontons in soup (no noodles). I got the C1 ($10) which was wontons, beef and fish balls in soup (no noodles).
The A1 comes with 2 wontons and 2 fish balls, whereas the C1 comes with 3 wontons and 3 fish balls. My mom's C2 came with 6 wontons.
The food came out so fast. There is a self-serve area where you get your own water or tea and the food came out before we finished getting our tea (which we proceeded to do as soon as we finished ordering). Really awesome if you are pressed for time, lol.
The wontons were huge. Like the size of a golf ball, and they were stuffed with shrimp. The beef slices were soft and tender, and I loved that the cut was lean, no fatty or gristley pieces. The fish balls were essentially fish meatballs. They were slightly chewy and didn't taste too fishy, which I liked. The broth wasn't all that flavourful, but at least it wasn't too salty or too oily/fatty.
Staff were friendly and service was really quick. The restaurant is modern and clean looking. It's in a strip mall with lots of free parking.
Inexpensive delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff, clean restaurant and free parking. That's perfection, no? 5 stars :)
