    Decent portion sizes for a good price, but the food overall was pretty average Baked Pork Chop in Portuguese Sauce (2/5): Very heavy and chunky. Lacked depth of flavor and overall wasn't very appetizing from the chunky sauce Flat Noodle with Beef & Gravy (3.75/5): On the heavier side, but the beef was tender HK Milk Tea (4/5): Bold, rich, and very flavorful, definitely a highlight Taipan Stir-Fry Rice Noodle (3/5): Didn't taste stir-fried at all. It was too wet/soggy and not very flavorful

    Classic hong kong vibes and decor. Ordered the baked pasta, hong kong styled milk teas and the french toast. The French toast was bigger than I expected and has a lot more ovaltine than I expected, it is pretty sweet for my taste. The baked pasta tastes decent. The prices for foods and drinks were decent and portions are decent as well. Service was prompt and attentive.

    C1. Baked Pork Chop Spaghetti with Cheese and Hk Special Sauce
    Essie L.

    Stumbled upon this place after we were in Brooklyn for a party and needed dinner. The decor's pretty nice for a Hong Kong cafe, although the name's very puzzling to be honest (if you know Cantonese you would know "chun" isn't the best name lol). The prices are really good, but to be honest we were disappointed with the baked spaghetti dishes. The sauces were not flavourful and the texture of the pasta wasn't right - too soggy and soft. To be fair, there is no one place in NYC that does Hong Kong style baked spaghetti right. I was very happy with the curry beef rice dish though.

    Cha chaan tengs, or Hong Kong style cafes, aren't too hard to come by in NYC, but most are no frills and don't have the picturesque decor Chun Hong Kong does. I eyed the low star rating with some trepidation, because many of the criticism was coming from Cantonese people who know what they're talking about and as far as I could tell, judging the place plainly and not on an unreasonably strict curve. Perhaps because my expectations were level set and because the 3 items I had were decent, my normally critical self is going to round up what I would consider a 3.5 star experience to 4 stars. My partner and I biked here on our fancy bikes that we didn't feel comfortable locking outside, and they very kindly allowed us to keep our bikes in the front area. Some tables were occupied, but it was pretty chill on the Saturday afternoon I visited so this might be why they were so relaxed about it. We got the horlick french toast, rice noodles with fish balls, and HK milk tea. It's true that I'm used to Manhattan and north Brooklyn prices but wow things were shockingly cheap on this menu. I didn't expect the best food but the horlick french toast and HK milk tea were particularly good. I think the fish balls and noodles tasted like they were either rehydrated or defrosted and absolutely not made fresh, but again I think this dish was like 5 or 6 bucks? So I'm fine with a little reheated noodle action. What I really came here was for the ambience, and even the haters in the reviews can't deny this place is cute. If I were here with a group I would love to sit in one of their plush booths. They didn't rush us at all and didn't mind me walking around taking dozens of videos. I'd recommend a visit!

    When Chun first opened up, I was deterred from trying by all the negative reviews on Google. After giving them some time for improvements, I decided to give them a chance, and I'm glad I did! The decor is beautiful. I haven't been back to HK since I was 1, but I've been told that the decor is very reminiscent of HK, including the plates and bowls. The food portions are huge compared to what I've seen them serving back when they first opened, based on reviews online. I really like that they are willing to improve themselves. Food itself is pretty solid - I haven't had a rice dish where I felt like I would never order again. Maybe one negative is the fried chicken wings that I recently got, it had a thick layer of batter on them compared to the first time I got them. The batter also seems to be different, similar to the sweet potato starch batter used for popcorn chicken. They have a new HK-style stinky tofu on the menu, which was good, but not as stinky as what I've tried in Taiwan. They also mix them into a salty, spicy sauce, which may be a bit too salty and spicy for people with milder tastes. I would try asking them to put the sauce on the side next time. The service is not the best, but also not the worst. The male waiter doesn't really ever smile, but he will get you what you need when you ask for it. They also never refill your tea or water unless you ask. It's not a make-or-break for me if the food is good, though! I think Chun is one of the better HK cha chaan tengs in the area, with beautiful decor. The initial negative reviews when they first opened probably gave them a slower start, but they're slowly getting more popular now. I wish they promoted themselves on social media because their decor is almost like an attraction that would bring in the younger generation, but I also kinda want to keep this as my own hidden gem!

    B12. Pork Chop Bun
    Serenity G.

    Hong Kong cafe at 18ave. Really wants to like this place but there are better Hong Kong style food around. Interior is nice, it has that 80s Hong Kong movie style with plenty of seats. A lot of food options with a modern twist. My husband and I ordered the Hong Kong milk tea, pork cutlet with pineapple bun, chicken cutlet with spaghetti Hong Kong style, beef and tomato over rice and the Ovaltine lava toast. Staffs are friendly but service was quite slow even though it wasn't super busy. Food was honestly mediocre at best. Our favorite was the chicken cutlet with spaghetti Hong Kong style.

    I really enjoy the baked chicken cutlet with white sauce and cheese here. That's my favorite dish so far. The stir fried ho fun had great wok hei and was one of the better versions I've tried in the area. The rice roll sauce was flavorful, though the noodle texture could use some improvement. I also tried the crunchy Ovaltine hot lava toast, which was good but not particularly memorable. The red bean slush was smooth and well blended. The interior is bright and colorful, with a fun Hong Kong theme that feels inviting. Prices are on the higher end for a cha chaan teng, but the portions are fair. It does get busy, though the service was decent and efficient. If you're craving classic Hong Kong cafe dishes and don't mind spending a bit more, this is a solid spot to check out.

    My fiancee and I were in the mood for a Hong Kong style cafe and we wanted to try out this place. The decor is this place is super cute - very nostalgic of cafes in Hong Kong. The menu has all your standard Hong Kong style cafe foods - I will say that it is on the pricer end. They do also have your standard breakfast sets if you come at the proper times. We were not super hungry when we stopped by here so we did not get as much food as we wanted. We did get the rice noodle with fish balls and sauce which was absolutely delicious. The Ovaltine Crunchy Lava French Toast was the star of the show and was so good. Their drinks were also much larger in size than I expected. Overall - a solid Hong Kong style cafe in Brooklyn, their prices were slightly more expensive for some of their items but not terrible. I'm excited to come back to try some of their other lunch items.

    A10. House Special Salt and Pepper Squid
    Linda L.

    Came back in the winter to try their salt and pepper squid appetizer, satay beef how fun, and baked chicken cutlet over spaghetti. I recommend all three! Everything was tender and had balanced seasoning. Service was moderate though- had to flag waiter down to get our orders taken but what was nice was that there was no pressure to leave quickly. Love the booth seating.

    Yan L.

    Love the decor starting off. No water or tea given; asked for 20 mins and waiter didn't bring it until asked again. Service pretty quick. Beef with noodles was the best dish there and yet the noodles were still bland. Beef was good though. Fishball with rice rolls is absolutely no. It's got this gelatin texture sauce and the sweetness is very overpowering. It's small as well. The Singapore stir fry virmencilli was ok. Nothing special. Love the drinks; I got the signature red bean drink. Was going to give a 15% tip and asked for two 5's out of the $10. The lady decided to take the full $10 instead and not give any change. Which shouldn't be up to her anyways.

    Top: B1. Ham and Egg Sandwiches Bottom: B8. Hk Style Waffle
    Melody C.

    Decor and ambiance exceeded my expectations. Photos are nice but don't capture the allure. But sadly, I was quite disappointed with the food, which was lacking in appearance and pricier than the average HK cafe. Ham and egg sandwich - very sad looking. Taste is decent but looks like something everyone can make at home. Hk style waffle - I was thinking it'd be like the waffles that you can find at snack shops in hk. They're usually big, fragrant, and lathered with peanut sauce + condensed milk without being too overwhelming on the palate. But when I opened the box, I was surprised by the small size and uneven cutting. Literally the size of those dash mini waffles. Definitely not worth it for $7+. I think they added peanut sauce and crushed peanuts on the inside. I appreciate the creativity with the crushed peanuts, but the texture and peanut butter used made it too heavy. It had very minimal condensed milk, so I decided to add some extra condensed milk at home but it made it even heavier, which is my fault. I would not recommend this. Scrambled egg with satay beef pineapple bun - they didn't skimp on the satay beef, which was very tender and saucy. I would've never thought of this combo and I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it, but I'd recommend this to try at least! It's almost $12, which seems kind of pricey for what it is, but it's definitely one of the newer items to grace HK cafes. Maybe we'll be seeing this at more places. Id come back to try their rice/noodle dishes. And I would like to dine in to really bask in the environment.

    First thing out of the gate, they fed us raw chicken! Came here to try out the new HK cafe style food and was pretty excited. The menu looked promising and the decor was super retro, giving out HK vibes. Unfortunately, that's where the positive ends for me. Their stuffed french toast was decent. The wings were ok. The salt and pepper squid was good but could have been crispier. The pineapple bun pork sandwich was ok. The biggest issue was the pineapple chicken sandwich which was raw inside. I mean, not even slightly undercooked. My daughter took a bite, said it tasted weird so I cut the sandwich in half and the middle was completely raw. When I flagged the staff to let them know, they said it was just kinda pink. I was tempted to ask him if he would eat that and to take a bite, but ended up sending it back. I didn't enjoy my experience there and the staff lacked any empathy towards what happened. I understand they did not cook the chicken but it's absolutely unacceptable to serve any customers raw chicken. I won't be going back.

    Ambiance - lots to see, very fun decor, good place to take pictures and selfie. They have booth seating and accomdate middle size party. Service - pleasant, not bad not extremely good. Food - Overprice!!! not impressive in flavors/taste. there are 2 other similar restaurants in the same neighborhood, since this is a new restaurant, figured we give a try. The Ovaltine French was pretty good. But the Baked Pork Chop spaghetti and Pineapple bun with pork chop was disappointed. The bun have no sauce and the bun itself was way too soft, it would be better if the bun was like the regular pineapple bun texture.

The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.
