I've stopped here to order take out several times. I enjoy their pork chop over spaghetti w black pepper sauce! its very tasty. My sis always gets the curry beef stew over rice and she loves it! The staff is friendly and the wait is never long.. And no issues ever w my order!
I got the baked rice with chicken. I have gotten this in the past and have always enjoyed it, but this time found it a tad too salty.
My boyfriend got the pork chop with peking sauce. We got the order to go, and I guess they started making the food at the same time, but the baked rice takes a pretty long time, so the pork chops were sitting in the closed container for a while. The external layer was all soggy and the dish just didn't look so appetizing. I feel like they should have taken into account the amount of time that the baked rice takes and made the pork chop dish later.
At first, I really did not like this like place because it seems like a take out store however their food wow'd me. I always always crave for their baked rice and pan fried noodles with no sauce. I've been wanting to find a place just like the way they made it. I used to go to 8th avenue for their type of baked rice however, they've closed down a few years back. I would go to Chinatown for their type of pan fried noodles, but it's way too far to go just for one dish. I looooove those two food. Now I can have both by just walking a few blocks! I'm so glad they have opened up. Since I live close by I usually call them 20 minutes before hand so I come and pick it up and go home and eat it. One down side is that the baked rice takes around 30 minutes or even 45 minutes to make. It always take a very long time. But for good food, I'll definitely wait. Regardless where I eat, this food is still delicious!
Looks like a bakery but with a very limited bun selection. U order at the counter and someone bring it to u when its ready. U leave the dishes when you're done and someone will pick it up. Don't expect good service. It's like they have a competition to see how little of an interaction they can have with the customers. But this place is more of a give me the food and leave me alone kinda place.
The HK style food is pretty good for the price. I had the baked pork chop over fried rice. Love the fried rice. Love the pork chops. Just wished the sauce was a bit thicker or cheesier.
They have the black current with lemon drink. It's one of my favorite.
Fellow customers were having the beef chow fun and someone was having the pepper fried pork chop over rice. Both look so good. Can't wait to go back and try more of their stuff.
slightly confusing set up because there isn't exactly waiter service. but u walk in, order your food at the counter and wait for a seat. they automatically know what you ordered and where you sat. the prices are fair and the menu is expansive enough for lunch. it was packed even at 1:30 but we quickly got a seat although it was an awkward arrangement. ordered the curry beef nom over rice and the beef w. egg over rice with 2 cold drinks. the drinks were decent, the milk tea – extremely strong / hk style. both dishes however were slightly unsatisfying. portions were fair but taste was a bit lacking. wouldn't mind coming back for different options.
Snagged some take out here for a picnic date and let's say I'm a fan!
The satay beef sandwich was so light and moist, extra pointers for cutting the crust off! The milk tea tastes as good as the ones in Hong Kong! The place is a bit rowdy when you come in, they seem to cater to tweens, teenagers and families. I wish they have a waiting area for people waiting on take out orders. Lighting could also be improved, it felt a little dark inside.
Oh and I believe its cash only.
I had a feeling I'd end up liking this place. I read some yelp reviews because I had to eat lunch but I had no idea what I was in the mood for. I was tired of all the food around my neighborhood. I was searching yelp for a brunch spot and this place came to my attention. I had weird thoughts about it, I thought it was just going to be some regular Chinese bakery.
Boy, was I wrong. This place was more like a cafe/restaurant than a traditional Chinese bakery. Although they do sell bread, I didn't see anyone buying it. You walk in and sit yourself because it gets crowded and everyone wants a good seat. You have to order your food at the counter and they will bring the food to the table for you. You enjoy your deliciously cheap meal and just leave. No need to clean up afterwards and no need to tip.
They do have a some legitimate milk tea though. It tastes like Hong Kong style milk tea so expect it to taste more on the bitter, not so sweet side. I will be back to have some Cold Lemon Tea, Cold Ribena with lemon and Hot Almond Milk. I recommend the Red Bean Milk Tea if you like red beans.
I ordered the Portuguese Chicken and it tasted better than the typical ones I have. My friend had the Salt and Pepper porkchop over egg fried rice. He really enjoyed it. They both came with a house choice of soup. You can't really go to a cha chan tang and not try their pineapple bun with butter!
They have some breakfast set menu choices at such affordable prices that you just can't pass up. Everything on the menu is at a reasonable price and the food tastes better than the price. This family owned business definitely made it to one of my favorite place to get some hong kong styled food.
I will definitely be back to this place for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I've only been here for breakfast and I can tell you that this place is great for breakfast at cheap prices. I had their breakfast set E that comes with pork w/ salted vegetable mei fun and it comes with sausage & egg, plus a hot drink for ($4.50). I had their Hong Kong style milk tea with is an extra ($0.50) and I highly recommend this drink to go with the breakfast sets. The taste of the Hong Kong milk tea is strong and one of the best I've had in NYC. The place actually has a lot of seating to eat in and tip is not required. I usually come on weekends and this place is always packed. So be prepared to wait, but not for long.
