Eel Clay Pot Rice
Braised eel slow-cooked over jasmine rice in a traditional clay pot with caramelized soy glaze. Made-to-order — allow 30 mins. The dish that defines Dong Kee.
Roasted Squab (Pigeon)
Whole crispy-skinned squab deep-fried to a dark lacquer finish. Tender, rich, and gamey — a true Cantonese banquet classic and one of Dong Kee’s most-reordered dishes.

A Scarborough Institution Since the 90s
Dong Kee Chinese Restaurant (東記) opened its doors in Scarborough's Midland Ave plaza and never looked back. Built on the philosophy of authentic wok-fired Cantonese cooking — high heat, fresh ingredients, and zero shortcuts — it became the go-to late-night destination for families, workers, and night owls across the GTA.
The eel clay pot rice — slow-braised, made to order — became legend. Regulars still wait 30 minutes for it without complaint. The squab is carved tableside. The wok hei on the Beef Ho Fun is unmistakable. This is not fast food dressed up as Cantonese. This is the real thing.
