Came at 9:30 on Monday and there wasn't a wait, then waited about 10 minutes for the food. Ordered BBQ pork and fresh shrimp, both smalls, with egg on both, for a total of $8. Opted to only get soy sauce and no hot sauce, and it came with scallions as we didn't specify. Appreciated how they were made to order, they came out hot and we ate them standing next to the cart. While the flavor profile is pretty one-note, I liked the texture which was chewier than the standard cheong fun. Also, the egg was a steamed egg texture which was a plus.

Simple, yummy eats! We were so lucky to find her cart still open at 4pm (usually runs out early in the day.) As always, service was fast and friendly. We inhaled thin, crepey rice rolls with bits of tasty BBQ pork. Since I've last been here, prices have increased just a tiny bit, but are still super affordable with generous portions! This is a great spot for a quick grab-&-go meal in Chinatown!

It was by accident that we ran into the Cheong Fun Cart! We were actually on our way to visit a couple other cheong fun establishments but ran into Cheong Fun Cart first. Since it was the first place we visited, I went with a single order of Beef Steamed Rice Roll for $3.50. What a deal! Good size for a large and tasty! And it came out piping out! However, their roll isn't the thinnest version if that's your preference. We enjoyed it on the street during that frigid December day. I wish we ended up ordering more as the other places on our list were either closed or had an hour waiting time. Other items on their menu include pork, ham, chicken, and dry shrimp - $1.75 for a small and $3.50 for a big. There's also fresh shrimp for $3.50 and $7.00; BBQ pork for $2.50 and $5.00. There's an only rice option for $1.75 each, and the option to add a whisk egg for $1 more or corn for 75 cents. Service is fast and efficient.

Small street stall on the street. Bring cash! I've had my fair share of cheong fun before and I would say for $3.50, this place is great bang for your buck. However I do wish the sauce was a bit more rich in flavor. Lacked a bit of sweetness to it.

Nothing compares to having Fresh Shrimp Cheong Fun drenched in extra sauce and chilli on a chilly sunny afternoon. Made to order and piping hot! I am still thinking about it... Loooong lines that move semi quickly. The owner is so friendly and kind. Despite the long lines, she was super patient with everyone.

Small Shrimp rice noodle roll
Vega T.

Came on a Saturday around 1pm and it was a 20 minute wait before I was able to order. They are fairly quick after ordering. I ordered the small fresh shrimp rice noodle roll. The shrimp tasted fresh and noodles were not too thick which was great. You can choose to add egg for an extra $1. They operate in a food cart in Chinatown so there is a lot of traffic when you're waiting outside. It's a good deal and tastes great. Highly recommend!

Large beef Cheong Fun with extra spicy. Amazing!!!
Yuedong L.

Hidden Gem - Or is it anymore? Cognizant of the reviews and it's been a. Staple around the area. Irrespective - if you are around the area, or looking to drive to try some amazing Fresh Cheong Fun - this is a Must Go!!! Food: The steamed rice rolls here are unbelievably fresh and silky -- made to order right in front of you. My spouse and I ordered: 1. Beef Cheong Fun (Large) I added extra spicy 2. Shrimp Cheong Fun (Small) Each noodle was soft, warm, and perfectly soaks up the soy sauce. You choose your protein - favorite option, e.g., BBQ pork or shrimp. The shrimp was an absolute standout -- flavorful and satisfying without being heavy. The soy sauce was not overfilled, and combined with the CLEAR effort they put into making the noodle texture just perfect for Cheoong Fun, I am so glad this is near a Chinese herbal store my spouse and I frequent. Service: Friendly, fast, and efficient. Even with a small line, the wait is short, and you can tell everything is prepared with care. Everything there are a lot of carts where I've experienced pushiness and the " give me your order and get out" service. That was not the case, especially during primetime hours, which is when we went. Experience: A true Chinatown classic -- no frills, just great food from a small cart with big flavor. Watching the cheong fun being freshly steamed adds to the charm. Definitely one of those spots you come back to again and again. There were students, adults, children of all diversity, including those who could not speak Chinese. Nuff said. Price: See images. This is updated as of 08/05/2025!!! 3.5 for small shrimp Cheong fun 7 for large (remember it's shrimp, and it was fresh!!!) Last - Pro Tip: Bring cash and come early -- popular items can sell out fast! Good luck after 11:00 A.M

Heard about this place ALOT and finally got a chance to check out. Just a small cooking metal cart that comes every mornings to make rice rolls with filling on the corner in Chinatown. If you're clean freak, you might not like what you see, but if you let your taste bugs to the decision making, you might have change of mind. Even though it say states the time of opening, you have to add 20-30mins extra for set up and for them to mix the stuff. We landed to NYC quite early and went here 15mins prior stayed open and found nothing there...we walked around (6:30-7am) and sat on the corner steps and waited, finally 15mins after, the pushed the cart out and a van drove by and drop off (several times) the ingredients on the sidewalk. One lady started mixing the rice mixture and two others doing the set up. Quite fun watching them doing it. Finally I placed the order and got a big portion off bbq plus egg to it for a total of $6 -Cash Only, I believed. Took about 5-7mins and I got the foods, with chilly. Quite honest, didn't expected to be a quite big portion for the prices and its just very yummy. The bbq was tasty, the rice rolls were hot and chewy and just simply delicious. We sat on the sidewalk steps and enjoyed it - we really want to get more but we just got in and there others to checkout. Definitely will come back for sure. It's for to go or stand/seat on the side street so you do have that Chinatown street foods experience, especially when it's start coming alive vibe.

It really is that good. If you think you have an idea of how good it is, multiply it by 10. For how cheap it is, they give so much food and it is heavenly. The sauce adds so much umami and flavor to the perfectly cooked noodles and the toppings add so much more depth to every bite. This place is worth the line and a must see in chinatown. Just remember to bring cash.

Fresh Shrimp w/ Egg
Toby M.

The ladies working the cart are so friendly and the prices are unbeatable! We saw people were always complaining about the long lines but we came on a weekday around 10am and there was no one at all. The cheong fun is definitely on the thicker side so very filling, but they were also VERY generous with the fresh shrimp.

Beef Cheung Fun with Egg
Michelle C.

Stopped by the Cheong Fun Cart to give their rice noodles a try. The noodles themselves were thick and starchy, not really my personal preference, but if that's the texture you enjoy, this cart might be right up your alley. We ordered the beef with egg rice noodles, but unfortunately, the portions of both beef and egg were pretty minimal, so the flavor didn't really shine through. Eating was also a bit tricky since there wasn't anywhere nearby to eat; we ended up standing along the sidewalk. On top of that, when we opened the container, the soy sauce spilled everywhere, which made the whole experience a bit messy. That said, the prices are very affordable, so it could be worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for a quick, budget-friendly bite. What's nice is that each dish is freshly made to order and only took around 3-5 minutes after we ordered to receive.

Beef chow fun w/ egg
Brian N.

I bookmarked this stall on TikTok and had to stop by when I was in Chinatown. The stall itself is super cute, and the lady taking my order was really friendly. I ordered the Beef Chow Fun with an extra egg. The wait was totally worth it,the food came out fast, and you have to give them credit for making solid chow fun out of such a tiny cart. The total was only $4.50 ($3.50 for the chow fun + $1 for the egg), which is honestly a steal for the amount of food you get. The chow fun was a bit mushier than I usually prefer, but still better than most spots I've tried back in California. I do wish there was more beef and for that stronger beef flavor, but the added egg really tied everything together with extra protein and flavor. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in NYC!

Pork (big)
Paul K.

There was a line so I decided to get in line as well. It was about a 3 minutes wait per person. The rice roll is kind of thick, and for my big pork one the soy sauce they poured was not enough to compensate. Nevertheless, it was an incredibly filling and satisfying snack for an unmatched price. I thoroughly recommend it. Eating it on the streets may be challenging since they don't have seating or standing tables. Not sure if the furniture we used as a table is something regularly there.

Who would have thought that the most lively food scene in Flushing late at night is not even in the…read moreheart of downtown Flushing? Instead, walk 10-15 minutes south on Kissena Blvd and you will find a group of street vendors gathering nightly on the sidewalk right in front of Gold City Supermarket. On a beautiful night, you'll find many people camping out on the ledge of the supermarket parking lot, or even putting out picnic blankets, while enjoying various street foods they can find at this great little "food fest". The street vendors are from different regions of China and serves all sorts of yummy goodies. You can find lots of fried items, soup noodles, grilled skewers, marinated meats and veggies, desserts, etc. One of my favorite stalls is the vendor selling hand torn shredded chicken ($25 each), which they dress up in seasoning and spices. They use an older chicken that has a firmer texture that won't fall apart when tearing the meat. The flavor is wonderful and absolutely addictive. They even give you a frequent buyer card that gets you a free chicken when you reached six purchases. The same stall also sells marinated items that are quite good. You are allowed to mix and match as long as they have the same price point. Another stall I would recommend is the stinky tofu stall. There are often more than one, but I like the one with the longest table space only dedicated to this single product, often in the middle of the block. If you have never tried this delicacy, close your nose and give it a go. You may be pleasantly surprised. Other stands that are popular include the BBQ grilled meats over charcoal, where you can get $2-3 skewers of lamb, beef, chicken wings, and whole lot more. Also, if you see the man grilling whole squids, his stuff is quite tasty too. Bottom line, it's a fun evening hanging out with your friends and snacking on various yummy bites. Be brave and try something new. Though there are few English signs, just order what looks good. Find a day with nice weather and check it out soon.

Many varieties of food, sugar cane being juiced with a roller machine to order, music, sugar painting and on and on. DJs, lights, the city.... Don't miss the next one, which is the last of the summer, sometime in August. Be early, the lines were long.

While it appears as "Young Xinjiang" online, the owners have confirmed this cart is nameless despite what the rest of the internet says. (#1) Open until 1A.M nightly, they have steadily maintained one of the best street food options in the Chinatown vicinity. Gone are the days where the skewers were $1. Thanks largely to food inflation, each one now varies between $2.00 and $4. While it's a steep increase, the meats have remained excellent in quality and in today's economy would be considered a very good deal. Their most popular options include lamb and beef, both aptly at $3 each. The meats are grilled over charcoal, and make for an excellent snack at any time. Chili powder is highly recommended for a small kick but delicious finish. Duck skin ($3) is a sleeper pick, and the beef tendon ($2.50) is excellent and is their most tender choice. Squid ($3.50) can be incredible if grilled well, and I would highly recommend avoiding the Italian sausage ($4) completely. Vegetarian options such as eggplant, king oyster mushroom, corn, or rice cake feel a bit overpriced at nearly $3 each. As per usual, everything is cash only. Given the price point, friendly service, and high quality meats, this nameless cart (#2) is an excellent option for a late night goers and carnivore lovers. Given the lack of competition at this point, I sincerely hope they can continue to keep it up. __________ (#1) Perhaps accidentally mixed with another competing cart? It matters little now, since they are the only one left. (#2) Take that, IRS.

Get both the green sauce and the spicy red sauce--they elevate the entire dish to another level. The portions are HUGE, there's plenty of meat, and the prices are incredibly affordable for how much food you get. The combination of flavorful rice, juicy chicken, and those sauces makes this seriously satisfying street food. I can't wait to go back and try their lamb! Service is quick, but be prepared for a looooong line. We went around midnight and still waited about 30 minutes, which is apparently a relatively short wait here! It's a classic NYC halal food stall, with no-frills street-food vibes and food that absolutely delivers. Come hungry, get both sauces, and don't let the line scare you off!

This is worth the hype guys... I have no idea how it got so popular (tiktok, ig reels, word of…read moremouth?) but everytime I passed by here during my trip there was a line. It also smelled heavenly. We decided to keep the good vibes going after the most fun night - BTS concert - since this was near our hotel, we got in line around 11:30pm? They're open until super late. Didn't even spend that long in line to be honest, or maybe I just didn't mind the wait? When you get closer to the front, the line splits into two - not sure what the system is logically but it does help with ordering faster. We got one platter for 2 people - Mixed Platter which includes rice, lamb, chicken, and a slice of pita. You also have the option to pile on some crispy french fries (why would you reject fries) and get a drizzle of various sauces. I very intelligently opted for the hot sauce on the side, and was so grateful for that because it does pack a punch! Gosh, this was so delicious. SEASONED, and everything on the plate mixed together so well in one bite. Also an excellent portion that would definitely last you at least 2-3 meals if you got it for one person. I'm for sure going back next time I'm in Manhattan.
