Forty Years on 12th Avenue
Duk Kee has been feeding Kaimukī since the 1980s — same address, same recipes, same honest Cantonese cooking. Some things are worth keeping exactly as they are.
Duk Kee Chinese Restaurant Inc | Our Story
Rooted in Kaimukī
Duk Kee opened on 12th Avenue in 1984 and has never left. In Kaimukī, a restaurant earns its standing over decades — and Duk Kee earned it.
The Same Recipes, Every Time
The honey walnut shrimp tastes exactly as people remember it. The plate specials are still generous, and nothing has been changed just for the sake of change.
New Owners, Same Commitment
When Gaven Wu and the new team took over, the intention was clear: protect the legacy, keep the doors open, and change nothing that didn't need changing.
The Food Speaks for Itself
Whole Peking duck with soft buns, wor won ton, crispy chow mein, slow-simmered soups — traditional Cantonese plates that have kept Kaimukī coming back for over forty years.
Come Eat With Us
Duk Kee is open seven days a week, from morning through evening, for dine-in, pickup, and delivery. Whether it is your first visit or your five hundredth, you are welcome at this table.
