Hong Kong style fast food restaurant ★4.0 (272)·$20–30

18 Doyers St, New York, NY 10013, USA

4.0
Food was okay. Forgot the name, but we ordered some kind of beef with egg and rice and I shared it with someone, but honestly I was expecting the portion size to be bigger it was pretty small due to how the bowl was shaped. Not worth it for the price. The beef was too salty, the egg had no flavor and there were like two pieces of broccoli. We also ordered the strawberry toast but it wasn’t thick and fluffy like how toast is usually supposed to be at most hong kong style cafes. It was thin, and was just coated with some strawberry jam, powder, and milk. Would’ve been more worth it if they put real strawberries on it/in between the toast or gave us like 4 pieces of bread. Definitely not worth $10. Lastly, we ordered the bunny milk pudding. It was cute to look at but it was just 3 bunny shaped puddings and a small pile of gram cracker crumbs. The gram cracker crumbs were the only thing that gave the pudding some flavor. The bunny pudding itself didn’t taste like pudding at all — wasn’t sweet, no flavor, just tasted like air. One of the dishes we ordered came with a free hot drink so we got a hot hong kong style milk tea. Tasted okay but I would recommend adding sugar since it’s barely sweet. Interior was pretty nice but the food was definitely not worth it for the price. It was worth a try though but I wouldn’t come again. If you’re looking for a good hong kong style cafe I would recommend going to kong shik tong instead. - Ri D
