Having heard that Kay Lee was bought over as a business for about $4 million, I had mixed feelings about trying it now because I was unsure if they would retain the quality. I don't know about how it tasted before, but true to my reservations, the roasted meat here was dismal and disappointing. Firstly, the exorbitant price was enough to turn us off. The portion that you see in the picture cost 22 dollars. I would have done better to have ordered individual portions which would probably cost 5 dollars per plate. Felt totally ripped off. If that wasn't bad enough, the roasted pork was served slightly cold and the crispy part was rock hard and hard to bite. The charsiew, the supposed star, was hard and dry, not tender at all. Extremely disappointing :( The only thing that tasted alright was the braised egg.
I would recommend anybody who is thinking of trying Kay Lee to stay away and instead head to places like Char, Fatty Cheong, or Keong Saik Road where they serve authentic honey glazed charsiew which are "ει»εθ₯".
