Big Mouth Kee

An excellent spot to sample Hong Kong-style dishes, Big Mouth Kee seems a frill-free, apparently unremarkable Richmond Hill diner - until you get a taste of its food. Here's where the real-stuff Chinese awaits your attention. Those in the know urge guests to order from the Chinese, and not the English, menu. Find braised pork of the highest order, and Vancouver crab, plucked live from the restaurant's tank before getting the treatment that delivers its dressed-up freshness to the plate. The Peking duck, featuring a whole bird that's carved tableside, is old-school Chinese at its best. And a rich dim sum menu positively sings with authenticity. The décor is retro and unadorned at Big Mouth Kee, but it's the cuisine that counts here.
