Came here after coming back from HK. We got here around 5:55PM, good amount of time before they closed at 7pm. We got seated as it wasn't busy and got to ordering! We got the mixed sauce rice rolls with fish balls, curry pork cutlet rice, imitation shark fin soup, and the French toast. The cutlet was pretty good, nice flavor and kick for a cold night. The fresh toast looked crispy, but was actually quite soggy with ok flavor. The soup was too thick, but good taste. The food was generally ok but we were turned off by the experience there. Before we got seated, we asked if they were still open to not intrude on them closing and they assured us they were. As we were ordering and eating, there were staff cleaning up and mopping the floor. Cleaning up made us felt rushed as if we were holding them from leaving, and mopping the floor near us with a bleach product was not the best in terms of scent mixed with food. I felt they could've waited till we left (we ate quickly and left at 6:35, prior to their closing time).

Instant Noodle Soup with Satay Beef (Beef in Peanut Sauce), which did not have much peanut flavor and didn't taste that great.
Johnny W.

Overall a 3.75/5. Let's start with the good. The noodle soup where you can choose your own soup base was quite delicious and jam packed with a generous portion of ingredients! My wife also really liked the sharkfin soup, which she said was more flavorful than the one from Kowloon. The seating was spacious and comfortable, and the interior design was reflective of your typical cha chan tang. Now onto the not so great. The corned beef egg sandwich had plenty of egg but very little corned beef, which basically made it taste like just an egg sandwich unfortunately. The satay beef was also not that great and lacked the nutty and creaminess that classic satay beef often has, which was the most disappointing for me for that dish was what I looked forward to the most. The red bean ice drink was quite heavy on the ice and since the red bean wasn't blended, most of the ice trapped the red bean and made the drink less than average. The staff weren't that sociable and seemed to keep to themselves in the back area. Water is self-served so there's really minimal interaction with staff, but their lack of smile just made the atmosphere less enjoyable than it could have been. Overall I believe High Five has potential of being another good HK style cha chan tang in Brooklyn, so I hope they can continue to improve certain selections while maintaining consistency on the items that they are doing so well in. I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes nonetheless. Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

After my recent trip to Hong Kong, I was really missing the food and came in with high hopes. Unfortunately, the food ended up being just average and the atmosphere made the overall experience disappointing. We ordered the steamed rice noodles with fish balls, imitation shark fin soup, French toast, and the fried pork cutlet with curry sauce. Imitation shark fin soup 3/5 - The flavor was good, but it was much thicker than expected. French toast 2/5 - It looked like it would be crispy on the outside, but it turned out soft and slightly soggy. Fried pork cutlet with curry sauce 3.5/5 - The pork was not very crispy and had a very thick starch coating, though the curry sauce itself tasted good. This dish could have been great if the pork was crispier. The meal also came with a Hong Kong milk tea, which was pretty solid. Steamed rice noodles with fish balls 4/5 - My favorite dish of the night. The flavor was great and the fish balls had a nice texture. I just wish the sauce was a bit thicker so it would cling better to the noodles. As for the service, I know tips are optional and everything like utensils and water is self serve so I did not expect much. That said, the staff started cleaning while we were still eating. They close at 7 pm and we arrived at 6 pm, but by 6:05 they were already mopping and moving chairs around us. The strong bleach smell and the rushed feeling really killed my appetite. Overall, this was not a great experience and I will not be coming back.

Pork cutlet sandwich with fries
Mei C.

Was in the mood for HK style snack and decided to drop in for a bite. Was able to grab a table for dine-in; Ordered the fried pork cutlet sandwich combo (comes with fries and HK milk tea), and square HK style French toast. Food came out promptly and warm- I especially liked the one bite french toast (peanut butter and condense milk drizzle)-tasted decadent. I also liked the sandwich, though the fries tasted just alright. The HK style Milk tea is a must (customers adjust the sweetness). Menu also has a varieties of breakfast combo deals and brunch menu as well. This is a popular spot in the area-expect a bit of a wait during the morning.

French Toast / Steamed Rice Noodle in House Special Sauce / Instant Noodle Soup with Satay Beef / Toast and Scrambled Egg
Ally L.

Quality: 9/10 everything was piping hot and cooked well. Instant noodles were not soggy, beef was tender, and the rice noodles were the best I've had since visiting HK. Variety: 9/10 a lot traditional HK dishes to choose from which is why we got so many dishes for just the two of us. Atmosphere/Cleanliness: 8/10 clean restaurant with Cha Chan Tang style seating so if it gets busy it might be hard to seat big groups of 4 or more. Service: N/A they have a sign stating tipping is optional which is similar to cafes in Hong Kong, but they did seat us and take our order almost immediately. Food came out within 10-15 minutes. Price: $30 including tax and tip

French Toast  一口西多士
Irene L.

I had high hopes for this place but disappointed. Service was good and the place was packed. Staffs were working hard and food came out very quick. I wanted the rice rolls but they didn't have it which was weird. I been to so many hk cafes and to HK and that never happened before. I ordered the breakfast set $8.75 each. The noodles with minced pork and preserved vegetables was good but portions was very small. It came with a hot drink. Options were hot coffee, lemon tea or milk tea. I had the milk tea and it came in a cute little cup. It was very standard. The toast and eggs was standard. The next set was chicken cutlet. It was tiny. It did taste good but it was kids portion. The ham was also good. I also ordered the red bean ice which was $5.75 and they added an extra quarter since it was in a to go cup. It was not good. Very bland and not creamy at all. Skip it. I also ordered the French toast for $6 and this dish was good. Paid in cash and tipped. Tax is added on whether you pay in cash or not. (It is the norm compared to back in the days iykyk) They really need to improve on the red bean ice and have rice rolls and portions need to be bigger.

We are always looking for Hong Kong style tea cafes that serve our favorite type of brunch, Cha Chan Tang style. And we think the taste of High Five was close to the places we love in Hong Kong. The stuffed vegetables reminded me of the ones you find at street stalls in Kwun Tong. The mixed sauce rice rolls were similar to the ones I had in Cheung Chau. The French Toast bites were such a highlight and had to order my childhood favorite, red bean ice!

imitation crab meat with scrambled egg sandwich
Ruby L.

We went to High Five for afternoon tea. There was plenty of seating, and the walls were filled with photos, giving the place a cozy, nostalgic feel. The menu was full of tempting choices. It took me a while to decide because everything looked so good, and the prices were very reasonable. We ordered with the staff (who were super nice and accommodating), but you also have the option to order at the register or through a QR code. Water is self-serve, which was convenient. For drinks, the Hong Kong milk tea was spot-on. Strong black tea with just the right amount of creamy milk. The imitation crab meat with scrambled egg sandwich was simple but comforting, a classic you can't go wrong with. The real star was the French toast with peanut butter and condensed milk, crispy and golden, almost like it had been deep-fried, then smothered in sweet condensed milk, an absolute must-try. The steamed rice noodle with house special sauce came in bite-sized pieces and was so easy to snack on that it disappeared quickly. The Hong Kong-style shumai and curry fish balls leaned more on the basic side. The shumai was standard, and the fish balls were small and simple. Overall, High Five is a laid-back spot with classic Hong Kong café vibes. While not every dish stood out, the French toast and milk tea definitely make it worth a visit.

Staffs were friendly. There is a lot of seating, however, I had to wait a little bit because the place was packed for brunch on Thursday morning. The breakfast set was $8.25. The satay beef tasted good however it was only a couple of pieces. It came with a hot drink, toast and eggs which definitely fills you up. Also, double check the bill when it comes; the waitress ended up giving us the wrong bill which was our neighbor's. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5

Fuang C.

Came here for an early dinner / late lunch type of thing with friends and grandma. Approved by grandma! There is an extensive menu and the prices are really good! If you come for morning, there's breakfast sets. We tried a couple items but highlights: the Hong Kong milk tea was good, the curry fish balls not bad, the cherng fun with peanut and soy sauce was good, fried Shu Mai, and the baked spaghetti with the chicken cutlet. I would definitely come again.

Very busy little shop so spaces are a bit cramped and crowded. The service is pretty fast though. Food HK style tea; 4/5 solid tea. Nothing special. Make sure to add your own sugar. French Toast: 3/5 not the worst but not the best. Instead of thick toast it's three toasts put together. It looks it would've been crispy but unfortunately soggy. Also the oil they use for it seems to be peanut oil or at least has an oily nutty after taste after you eat the French toast and has the taste that the oil is due for a change. Other than that it certainly needs more condense milk. It's was more of a soft and dry. Corn beef egg sandwich: 3/5. Not terrible for the price and the beef was very flavorful. However, there was barely any beef and it wasn't spread evenly. The toast was soft and definitely needed to be toasted more. The egg was good though. Overall it boggles my mind the amount of people there. The food was cheap but mediocre.

Steamed rice noodles in house special sauce-good
Ada W.

Came by for lunch with my sister. Food was decent. Ambiance is bright and spacious. We ordered some food to share. One thing i should warn u in advance is do NOT order the "curry triple delight". For $6, its NOT worth what your getting. Its literally 4 fishballs, 1 piece of tripe and 1 piece of pork skin. I wish i ordered something else instead had i known how little i was getting. Rice noodles with house special sauce- pretty good! Rice noodles in Dry mala sauce with beef slices- delicious! We really enjoyed this one. Hot HK tea- my sister enjoyed it Red bean ice- it was ok! Overall, we had a decent lunch. Service was ok, nothing particularly stood out on service.

The 3 treasures
Helen C.

No bells, no whistles, you get what you pay for, and hopefully you'll enjoy what you ordered. There's a big TV that's always running news in Cantonese, a self-help water station if you want to call it that, and many diners that zoom in and out. You'll find yourself almost rubbing elbows no matter where you sit unless you're at a booth. It can get a bit tight and you might bump into the other patrons and/or their food. I sincerely wish they have coat hooks considering how cramped spaces can be; we were holding onto our winter coats on our laps while we ate. The HK canteen menu items makes us want to return; the tea is a yay, the coffee is a pass, and the food is a thanks. See you when we see you!

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the menu variety, authentic HK flavors, and standout milk tea and French toast. The atmosphere is clean and classic.

The restaurant is bright and clean. The staff is friendly. Food overall is decent…read more The cucumber salad: first bite was just ok. But after a few bite, it gets better. The scallion sauce isn't too strong and no aftertaste lingering like garlic sauce. If you're not allergic to peanuts, definitely add the peanut bits. It adds an extra flavor. 8/10 The woodear salad: very vinegary and crunchy. 9/10 The potato salad:crunchy and the flavor is just right. Mild spicy. 8/10 The original soup noodle: too mild. Barely any flavor. 5/10 The mala pork intestine soup noodle: I got the regular spiciness level and it was actually quite spicy. If you can't tolerate spicy food, try mild or medium first. The pork intestine is bit chewy. Otherwise the flavor is good. 8/10 The seafood tom yum soup noodle: mild tom yum flavor. The soup base is slightly on the sour side. Overall is good. 8/10 Thai style soup noodle: the soup flavor is good. Not too spicy. 9/10 We also tried the brown sugar rice cake: it's just ok. Not crunchy enough. The brown sugar is missing some caramelized flavor. So it is a sweet rice ball. 5/10 I think the temperature inside would be fine if you go during a cool day. When it's a hot day, the restaurant could get very hot even if they turn on both ACs. With just 2 ACs insides, and eating a hot bowl of spicy soup noodle, we were all sweating inside. Though the food is good, I would not return during summertime. It's just too hot to enjoy a good bowl of hot soup noodle.

Staff are attentive and preempted my accommodations for the kids (straws, plastic plates etc)…read more Very adorable and filling meals. I asked to sub rice for noodles because one of my kids is a rice pot (can't go without rice) and requested extra sauce, which they kindly provided. The set meals are a fantastic deal; a full size entree, an appetizer and a drink for $19-20. An extra order of noodles is $2.50 and it's really double the amount of noodles that comes in your entree. I also ordered their new dish with has abalone and sea cucumber; this is not part of a set meal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has that umami sweetness that comes from a great soup base and the noodles are delicious as usual. The abalone was tender, the sea cucumber had a bite to it. There was fish maw and wood ear in there as well.

Everything was delicious, hot and it was delivered quickly. The prices are up there however the food is worth it . I ordered a ramen bowl with the corn ribs.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Another Thai owned Japanese restaurant specializing in izakaya style cuisine in Bushwick. It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.
