    Chongqing Chicken Wings (Mission Chinese)
    Lisa L.

    My most unfavored part of this experience is the servers. They had preferred for us to pay with cash, which was fine with my group. What happened after was something I disliked. The server kept coming back saying that 18% tip was the minimum. 18% tip minimum? I had thought tipping was optional - my group's total was $36 and we did not have any change, so we decided to give $10. Next thing I know, I am listening to the server "show-boating" to his manager that he got a 30% tip. Not to mention, the manager was hyping up the server and saying "go get more money"... What kind of person will hype them up like that and out loud, plus my group was literally next to the check-out desk. Food was great, definitely love the fried rolls with condensed milk. Not to mentioned, the food was amazing, just the final experience is what got me to re-think about going back to this place to dine.

    Service was quick and efficient - easily got in around noon on a weekend. Food was decent as well - we got a big variety. Big space - busy but had the capacity for it!

    We had a spacious table for 3 adults and 3 kids at the back of the restaurant. This place was clean and service was fast. The food came out really quick even though the place was packed so that's good. My husband and I both ordered curry beef brisket and curry chicken. However his chicken dish barely had any chicken in it, it was mostly potatoes and his portion was not as much as my curry beef. I didn't like the plate we were served on either, made it hard to eat off of. My daughter's crispy bun w/condensed milk is literally a toasted burger bun. I would still come back and try different dishes because the service was good and I heard from my friend that the bathroom was clean.

    These are the former Cha Chan Tang people who moved next door. Same easy to make food & lower prices. Not a foodie play but good for everyday stuff especially at breakfast

    This review is for Cha Kee's Hong Kong milk tea and pineapple bun with butter (bo lo yao). Both are excellent -- better than some tea and pineapple buns I recently had in Hong Kong even! The tea is brewed "stocking" tea -- not tea bags and one of my favorites in NY. The pineapple bun is warmed up and has a crunchier/crispier top than most buns, but it works with the butter. You can ask for extra butter for an additional $1 and they really give you a large pat. The tea and bun were not cheap, but very satisfying! Definitely recommend.

    chicken chop with egg noodle soup
    Mimee S.

    Hong Kong Style cafes is a great place for some cheap comfort food. This cafe was just okay, nothing really outstanding. Chicken chop noodle soup- this was ok, chicken was tasty but I i wished they would either fry the chicken skin a bit longer to make it crispy or just make it without the skin. This came in a mug sort of bowl. Fried Spaghetti with beef- some thing i can make at home Baked pork chop over spaghetti- I always order this at hk cafe and this was actually pretty bad that I didnt even want to eat it after a few bites. There was not enough tomato sauce and the cheese was not melty. Porkchop wad a bit fatty. Overall, this was just not good. It needs to be baked and lacked flavor.

    This is a very spacious dining space. Ambiance is very modern. Pur favorite is the rice rolls with special sauce. It is very hot which we love. Not sure how the dish stay so hot for a long time. It is delicious. Our least favorite is the pork chop and onions. It appears that they fried the pork chop then lay the onions on top. We thought it was going to stir fry together but it was not. Also very greasy. The rest of our meal were average. The stir fry beef chow fun was ok but very greasy. The toast with condense milk was very buttery but not enough condense milk. Overall, we left the restaurant feeling super guilty because of the loaded amount of oil in our tummy. Worth a try but probably not going back.

    This restaurant hits as a Hong Kong style morning breakfast place. I always come here for the satay beef instant noodle dish, and it comes topped with a fried egg. If you're here early enough, you get a free drink with it too! The curry fish balls were also delicious, and the toast will bring you back to those days when that was the simplest thing to eat in the morning. The service can be a bit slow at times, but they're getting better.

    What an amazing experience. This place was much cleaner than and modern than expected, I walked right by it while strolling through Chinatown. We ordered the Chinese set for breakfast which was so affordable and delicious! I wasn't a fan of the bao, but everything else was so good. The service was quick and politer than typical HK service, so that is a plus!

    Baked Portuguese chicken over white rice

    Just okay, nothing special Ordered the baked rice lunches from this location after, not coming here for a couple years and I am underwhelmed. I was expecting more because this location is supposedly really popular and I know that at night they change into a different dining menu. The last time I was here when I had ordered baked rice and a noodle dish and the food was served cold. I decided to give this location another try because it has been a couple of years. But my impression of the food was not great. The pork chop had a really odd taste, and the rice for both dishes was throwing me off. It tasted like they used old stale rice that was reheated with some water? I also did not like the foil wrapper it came in instead of the tin baked containers that takeout usually gives for baked rice. It felt like they were trying to skim out on some rice/ingredients because the wrapper would take up more space in the plastic container that they used to hold the foil. Taste wise the Portuguese chicken was "just okay" I like that the potatoes were seasoned, but the sauce felt like it was lacking something because it wasn't very flavorful and for the pork chop the sauce was not great and the meat texture for the pork chop was not satisfying to bite into. I don't think I would come back here for the food again. I did order a passionfruit green tea drink, and that was pretty good but overall the meal was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. Probably worth skipping. The inside is pretty nice, but there's one lady server with a very nasty attitude.

    Everyone that knows Chinatown knows Cha Kee. Delicious Hong Kong style food. The vibes are chill, there's plenty of seating, the staff are super nice and the food comes out super quick. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Baron. He is a chills and awesome dude and will make sure your visit went well.

    We tried some other things here, but don't have pictures for them. Butter with condensed milk toast was good. Fried bun with condensed milk was good. Milk teas were good. Beef chow fun was very tasty and silky. Beef chow mein was very good also. Usually don't like chow mein too much, but their noodles were a bit on the softer side and I prefer that over the super crispy crunchy version. Didn't like the pork chop onions on rice. It was bland. Their wings were okay. Overall, this place was way better than I expected, so I give it a solid 4.

    I grew up here and haven't dined out here in the longest time. I wanted to go to Cha Chang Tang but saw it was closed so hopped into Cha Kee. Arrived in time for an early lunch so it wasn't too crowded and we got a nice booth seat. They had plenty of seating and felt like it was spacious. The decor is cute and gives off nice vibes. Service is a little better here than other places in Chinatown. Their bathroom is really pretty with the floral seating. Ordered a few dishes to try and they came out fairly quick with the exception of the baked fish with cream sauce (which is understandable). Curry fish balls - delicious! Sauce was so good we saved it till we got a rice dish so we could slather it on there. The fish balls were a good size and good texture. Soy sauce stir fry noodle - this wasn't bad. My daughter didn't like it too much because it was a bit harder noodle than she liked. Nothing some curry sauce couldn't fix. Condensed toast with butter - a classic. How could I dine here without ordering that? It was good - I didn't use all the slabs of butter but it was good! Baked fish with cream sauce - so delicious. A favorite among all of us. Generous portion of fish. Overall, great lunch. Only thing is that it's cash only which we neglected to check. But a good meal with variety on their menu.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.
