Han Kee 2 Restaurant

This place been around east San Jose for decades. Located on quimby and Tully this Asian restaurant serves a variety of soups, stir fry, and whole lotta different type of meats ready to eat.

Me and my buddy both had the combination soup and a small plate of roasted pork belly. The pork belly was very good. It has the perfect amount of crispness and was very savory and soft in the middle. It also came with some kind of sauce that accompanied the pork very well. The soup gots lots of different types of meats and they have a variety of sauces on the table for you to put.

This a food restaurant. Which mean if you are looking for something fancy then this is not your place. If you are a true foodie like me then you will appreciate this restaurant.

The decoration is old, the restaurant is ok not the best but good.

Service is good, everyone is friendly.

So go check it out.

Go foodie

The restaurant is pretty darned divey, to be honest. But menu selection is good, they're really friendly, it's surprisingly quite clean, and the food is yummy. Won ton Soup are plump and not skimpy. Had some roasted garlic or something that adds a nice flair. Not on the menu, but they special made for us Singaporean chow mein (they have some thick noodles version). Very good.

Very obscure location in small strip center. Very full on a Sat afternoon which I took as a good sign. Excellent wor wonton soup-not salty! Also very good roast duck, which we took home and made stir fried rice with on Sunday. Want to go back for other BBQ meats, they all looked great.

Saturday & there's some people here, not too many people though. We made order to go over the phone for Wonton soup, 2 order or Pho Ap chào & Crispy noodles, total at $80.00 & when we got there order extra roasted pork & duck. Costing over $120.00. Late night dinner for us, which taste more salty than anything else. But nevertheless filled our belly for the night.

This is the third time and probably the last time I come here and here's why:
The quality of food went down dramatically. I ordered Peking spareribs, salt pepper spareribs and siu mai, their siu mai were cold so I couldn't eat them. The spareribs were very disappointing, half of them are just fat and bone, not edible at all! Totally different from what I got last time (last time the spareribs were lots of meat with almost no fat & bone).
I called them in advance and drove 15min, but when I got there, I still needed to wait another 20min for my food. It was around 5:40pm, not sure why I had to wait so long while there's no customer inside the restaurant & they weren't busy at all!
The most unexpected thing was the cashier collected me $44.3 total but the total was actually $44.29. I know it's a just penny, but as a business, you don't round up to collect the customers more to save you a penny, I have never seen any business does this since it's a very bad practice.
There aren't many Asian restaurants in this area so I was very happy that I found this place originally, but after today's experience, I won't waste my money here anymore.

The service here is your typical family owned restaurant experience. There was a family member yelling in the back, so you know this place is authentic. The servers spoke Chinese, Vietnamese, and English. I came with my friend who spoke Vietnamese. They language swapped between customers and workers. I even heard Spanish too! Multilingual kings and queens here!

I ordered the roasted duck egg noodles and roasted crispy pork. The food was amazingly delicious. The soup broth was flavorful to where I ate it without adding condiments in because I wanted to savor the flavor. I finished my bowl including the soup! You can order roasted duck, pork, and other meats to go or you can dine in.

On one side of the restaurant is a smaller side but they do have a bigger room with more tables. They serve dim sum in the morning and I really need to try! I tried ordering dim sum in English but there was a language barrier there and I couldn't get it across until my friend spoke Vietnamese to them.

They said they ran out of dim sum! Back in OC, I ate dim sum like every other week and I love shumai and was craving some. I haven't gone back since because I am scared to go alone, haha! I would really prefer and be more comfortable going with someone who spoke one of their languages. Perhaps, I can build up the courage and go?

I think the noodles was a solid 9/10 and the crispy pork was a 8/10! I wish they did delivery because I would definitely order here.

The price was reasonable and not overpriced like some of the other restaurants around. I would absolutely come back to this location!

My friend said she has been coming here for a long time and the family has a rich and inspiring history. I love that their continuation to serve delicious food has been a tradition of theirs.

I truly slept well after this meal!

My go to for salted fish fried rice and duck when I have random cravings. I love that I can call ahead of time so it's ready Jen I go and pick it up.

The good:
My family has been coming here since I was a kid (for over 25 years). We typically get the duck, bbq pork for wonton noodle soup or salty fish fried rice. Last night, I tried the tender greens (ended up being baby bok choy) with tofu, the salt and pepper shrimp, hot and sour soup and salted fish fried rice. The salt and pepper shrimp was delicious. It was cooked with jalapenos and onions and had a great wok oil flavor. They didn't skimp on the salt for sure. The shrimp exoskeleton was soft and crispy enough to eat. It cost $70 something for 4 dishes. I thought the prices were fair.

The bad:
The hot and sour soup was just okay. It's not something I'd order again. The flavors just weren't deep enough for me. There is no outdoor dining. The interior isn't the nicest or coziest so my family typically orders take out from here. It has a hole-in-the-wall feel as you'd expect from authentic Chinese duck spots.

The interesting:
There's a 2 in the name but I am not aware of there being another location.

This is a hole in the wall restaurant, but nonetheless their seafood egg noodle soup is pretty decent. I love their fried shrimp cracker that comes with the soup! The soup base is light and not overpowering which I like...especially since I like adding in hoisin sauce and sriracha to add that extra kick to the broth.

Other menu items I've tried: roast pork and shrimp and egg over rice dish

The roast pork was super crunchy which I enjoyed. However, it was a bit on the salty side (some pieces). As for the shrimp and egg dish, it was pretty good. The texture and taste somewhat reminded me of an egg drop soup.

On another note, parking can somewhat be a hassle especially since it's located in a busy plaza with other businesses.
