Placed an order for pickup and it was packaged well. HK style French toast was tasty, though I prefer the one at Kong Sihk Tong in Chinatown. The honey lemon tea was not good though - not sure if they're using fresh lemon juice, but it definitely tasted like the bottled stuff and was way too sweet. 3.5 stars. read more

I've been to another restaurant called the Marathon Café and enjoyed the taste of Hong Kong there, so I was interested in trying the Marathon Hong Kong Diner. Especially after seeing more videos promoting it on social media. It is located in a food hall and is the first stall on the right side. I ordered an array of recommended items: Marathon Signature Pork Cutlet over Spaghetti with Black Pepper Sauce ($20) - The spaghetti was cooked al dente and coated in a decent black pepper sauce. I appreciate that the cutlet was not thin there was enough sauce, and there was a good portion size. Hong Kong Style Macaroni in Tomato Soup with Beef and Onsen Egg ($16.50) - I was not a fan of this one. I'm used to the traditional HK macaroni soup with ham and a fried egg, so maybe this version of the dish just did not work for me. And the beef slices were tasteless and dry. Bolo Bun Cod Fish Burger ($14) - This was my favorite of the items. The bolo bun gave a bit of crisp and sweetness to the fish cutlet. There is a little too much sauce for me, but you can easily wipe some off. Crispy Chicken Wings (4pc for $11) - The wings were pretty tasteless on their own, but I enjoyed pairing it with the sauce. I did have to take it home and heat it up a little more though because the inside seemed a little pink and I wanted to be safe. Sweetened Ice Lemon Tea ($6) - I ordered this with less sweetness, but I think I should have ordered the normal level. It was decent, but something felt missing due to it. Overall, I would only go back for the fish burger. I've had better at other HK Cafes for everything else. But I like how the food hall had more seating down stairs and it's very clean. There is a 2-stall bathroom for men and women, as well. read more

INCREDIBLE - finally a fried pork cutlet that isn't a dried as leather! Their food is top notch and super high quality with great portions. The fried pork cutlet entree with their tomato cheese sauce is so special and comforting. Not a huge fan of some of their American styled dishes. read more

It's conveniently located right at the front when you enter the LIC food hall and with plenty of seating overall. Service was pretty quick, you just order at the kiosk. I got the chicken cutlet rice with japanese curry and cheese, and the curry was SO salty. Combined with the chicken which was already on the salty side. Wouldn't get this again, but the hong kong milk tea (less sweet) was 10/10. I'd def come back just for that. read more

My HK friends have been raving about their food, so I finally made the trip to check it out. You'll spot their booth immediately when you walk into LIC Food Hall I met the owner, David, who's born and raised in HK and very passionate about bringing true HK comfort flavors to NYC. A lot of their dishes remind me of Cafe de Coral (大家樂) or Fairwood (大快活), just even better. They exceeded even my high bar for HK food. To be honest, the prices are higher than the HK cafes in Chinatown, Brooklyn, or Flushing, but you can really taste the difference in the quality of the meat. Since there aren't any HK cafes in this area, this is a solid, legit option. Please support them! I'll definitely come back with my HK friends. ＊Signature Pork Cutlet Over Rice 招牌吉列豬扒飯$18 The black pepper sauce was delicious, and the fried pork cutlet was tender. The portion was so huge that it was easily enough for two meals. ＊Black Pepper Beef Spaghetti 黑椒牛肉意粉 $18 The pasta was super saucy with a peppery kick, while the sliced beef was tender and well-seasoned. ＊Macaroni in Tomato Soup with Beef and Onsen Egg 番茄牛肉通粉配溫泉蛋 $16.5 An elevated take on the classic HK style macaroni breakfast, topped with a perfectly cooked onsen egg. So comforting on a cold day. ＊ HK Style French Toast 香港西多士 $11 ＊ Bolo Bun with Butter 菠蘿油 $6 The 西多士 blew my mind. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and packed with peanut butter. Add butter and condensed milk and it becomes peak comfort food. The pineapple bun with butter was quite pricey for what it was. ＊HK Style Milk Tea 港式絲襪奶茶 $6 ＊Red Bean Ice 紅豆冰 $8 Their 紅豆冰 truly reminded me of the afternoon tea sets at Cafe de Coral. Both the milk tea and red bean ice tasted authentic and not too sweet (I did request for less sugar). read more

Got the pork cutlet with black pepper sauce and the French toast. The portions are huge! My first bite of the pork cutlet was juicy, but I found that the pork dries out quickly. I wish they didn't cut the cutlet so thin so that each piece would be softer and juicier. I enjoyed the black pepper sauce, though the whole black peppercorns can be a bit overpowering when you bite into them. I really liked the French toast. The maple syrup with condensed milk was a bit sweet, but luckily the sauce was on the side. I love peanut butter so the nuttiness with the sweetness of the French toast was delicious. The toast also had a nice crisp on the outside, but soft and warm on the inside. I would definitely come back here to try their other dishes! read more

First time at LIC Food Hall - browsed around but then went straight to Marathon, which is right by the entrance. I mainly wanted HK style milk tea and condensed milk toast so I ordered it to go. It's packaged in an insulating bag, kinda neat though I hope the ppl receiving them are actually reusing them. I would have ordered more food to stay but the food hall itself had limited seats upstairs. There is additional seating downstairs but it's not accessible for those in wheelchairs, strollers, or walking devices. No elevator in sight - Not the fault of this food stall, but something to consider when eating here. Service was probably quick but I had stepped out and got distracted. My order was all ready when I came back! The iced HK milk tea was delicious, sweet and strong. My toast was crispy, warm, peanutty, and delicious with the condensed milk brown sugar sauce. A tasty shareable snack, or you can eat it all to yourself. read more

Grand opening day on 8/16. They have spin the wheel with any vendor purchase. Just show your digital receipt at the spin wheel desk where 2 nice young ladies are sitting. They have magnets too. The Marathon HK diner stall is one of the first you'll see as you walk into the LIC dining hall. There is a kiosk to order from or the cashier. There is a grand opening promo, but it is at the cashier only, not on the kiosk. I tried the HK macaroni in thick tomato soup base with beef and onsen (runny) egg. It was okay. Not what I'm used to with classic soup base. It tasted pretty good, especially the egg, but I prefer the usual regular soup base better. The HK tea was just okay also. Not strong enough. Taste more like regular black tea. The food hall has seatings and a bathroom downstairs. It's nice and clean. The seatings fill up fast, especially during prime eating time. Once you get your food, it is quick to eat, but might have to wait for a seat or share tables. read more

Opened by a fellow Hong Konger, this spot delivers legit Hong Kong comfort food that hits right for me! - - - - - - - - - ~ Pork cutlet w/ Japanese curry and cheese $18 ~ Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and most importantly - THICK CUT! The curry is rich and comforting, the cheese adds extra indulgence, and you get 13 massive pieces, insane value for the portion! ~ Black pepper beef spaghetti $18 (+$2 for onsen egg) ~ Perfectly al dente spaghetti stir-fried with well-seasoned beef, onions, and peppers, all coated in that bold, addictive black pepper sauce! ~ Hong Kong style French toast $11 ~ Crispy golden edges with a soft, moist center, stuffed generously with peanut butter. Finished with condensed milk + syrup, it's rich, indulgent, and absolutely worth every calorie! ~Hong Kong style milk tea $6 ~ Ordered less sweet and it was spot on. Smooth, fragrant, strong tea flavour, 100% authentic! ~ Bolo Yao $6 ~ The bolo bun leans a bit dry, and I wish the craquelin-to-bun ratio was better, but that thick slab of butter saves the day. - - - - - - - - - - Will I be back? Definitely!! As a Hong Konger, these dishes felt incredibly comforting. If I lived in LIC, I'd probably be here way too often! read more

Food is five stars! Food hall space is brand new so better than most but it can get tight hence why one star off. Service is oddly fast so definitely on par with the Hong Kong vibes. Now on to the food: it's rare to find staff and owners speaking Hong Kong Cantonese in NYC. Their passion for bringing their favorite HK items to LIC is much appreciated. All fried items were amazing. Wings, fish fillet, pork katsu were all tender, marinated, juicy, and delicious. You won't be getting dried pork chops here! Their macaroni is not elbow macaroni which I appreciate since it's not as overtly soft and holds onto more sauce/broth. The sauce and broth is a lot like HK borscht and mixed with the good beef and soft boiled egg, it's a new way of enjoying those HK flavors in a new form. Milk tea was good and wasn't too bitter even though we asked for less sugar. Cannot wait to try it hot to see if it stands the test. The pineapple bread sandwich was good and it was huge! I had a hard time taking a first bite since it was so high. But as a traditionalist I really wanted my pineapple bread with just some butter without the frills. But def worth the try if you never had it! Can't wait to come back to try the HK toast and hot milk tea! read more

I tried their Golden Chicken Cutlet Rice in both the tomato sauce and black pepper sauce, and I personally am a fan of the black pepper more. The tomato is bit more sour than I'd like.

If you want unpretentious, no-frills, simple, comfort food, this is your spot. This spot is a legit cha chaan teng place, like I am dining in Hong Kong. You absolutely have to try their HK style milk tea, it'll really wake you up. Creamy chicken rice, black pepper beef spaghetti and spaghetti bolognese are always my go-to order. My mom also like their spaghetti, as Jollibee spaghetti tends to be salty at times. Please add yuen yang drink (coffee milk tea) in the future! read more

The onsen egg was great tho paired with scallions and pickled radish. For the milk tea I chose regular sugar which I think is to much I would go with less for sure next time. I would definitely come back and try their staple dishes next time which is a katsu curry type dish. read more

The service and food were great and fast considering it was dinner time. The atmosphere was cozy. The smells of each dish inviting you in to try. I Ordered the black pepper beef spaghetti and marathon crispy pork cutlet rice with Japanese curry sauce and cheese. The black pepper was the dominant seasoning in the noodles, balanced by a light note of sweetness that kept it from being overpowering. The noodles themselves were cooked to perfection. The pork cutlet was cooked to perfection, every bite melts in your mouth. The curry sauce made the rice very flavorful and a great contrast to the cheesy pork cutlet. It was addicting to say the least. All in all, the food was a great value for its price from the flavorful curry to the sweet rich noodles,definitely a must try. read more

So went to my friends office nearby and for lunch we ate at diner at. I haven't tried this place…read moreso it was a beautiful ambiance with the cherry blossoms. My friend and I both ordered the same chicken salads. It was actually pretty filling and too much for me so doggy bagged the rest. Service was super nice. They were attentive and helpful.

My daughters 9th bday was coming up and she loves milkshakes so I started looking on yelp (of…read morecourse) and found this place which also has a bar #winningfortheparents lol We came on a saturday around 6:30-7 table do four was seated right away. We were also intrigued to try the sangria that yelp raved about. We got a pitcher! It did NOT disappoint. It was a decent size pitcher for the price. Roza came to us and asked if we liked it and told us it was her recipe. No sugar ,No soda .It was tasty, thick full of fruit and definitely had liquor because I left with a buzz She also brought out the rosè for us to try pretty good too very refreshing will definitely do that one in warmer weather. I got the Dbar burger it was good but so big I didn't finish it all. My husband got the rib eye burger. He liked it but it was a little to greasy for him he didn't finish it. My 13 year old wanted breakfast.It was not in the menu but we figured we ask since it is a diner. She got pancakes with fruit and scrambled eggs. My youngest daughter got from the kids menu grilled cheese with fruit she enjoyed it so much we had to order another. Both girls for the marshmallow milkshake they LOVED it! For appetizers we got calamari good but could've used a little more breading. Also got chips with guacamole and honestly for a diner it was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Roza knew she had a bday past since we conversed for a bit and suggested we can sing her happy bday and asked what she liked I told her chocolate cake. They asked for the correct spelling of her name which I thought was sweet. Anyway the staff came out and sang with us super cool. Even the bathrooms are really clean. It was a great experience will definitely come back.I must be honest it's a hit pricey.The price for the pancakes with eggs was $23 when we saw the bill I was a little surprised. Kids' meals are $13 and I thought we were getting the cake (free,lol) since I technically didn't suggest it. It was $12 for a slice. But overall it was a pleasure she even gave us a sample of vodka with lemon and ginger which was actually good and helps settle the stomach.

A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.

A must try in the neighborhood. The Rotana Omelet is by far the best. All food is delicious and the service is excellent.

They serve Latin American food along with classic diner fare (sometimes with a Latin American flair), and the food is always high-quality and delicious. I have nothing but faith in this kitchen, and they also take great care to accommodate my food allergies. The waiters - Chewy, Ivan, Jacob, and Jose - are consistently accommodating and charming. I think this is truly one of the best places to eat in the neighborhood, and I often bring friends here, and everyone I have introduced to this place has liked it. Highly recommended.

When I walked in there were a lot of people waiting but I overheard the wait was 5 minutes for a party of 2 so it sounds like the table turnover is fast.

So much so that I had to take some of my pancakes home because I couldn't finish them. It's been a few hours and I'm still full. Nice bang for my buck! The staff was friendly and attentive.

The retro interior has a cozy, nostalgic charm, and the booths get lots of natural light in the morning. Another convenient touch: they have their own parking lot, which makes stopping by much easier. A dependable spot for a hearty breakfast. We'd happily return!

The duck 2 ways... well, they shouldn't have done one of the ways... it was so dry! The beast was nicely cooked, and luckily it was served on top of some terribly cooked cubes veggies, but it was lucky because the veggies kept it from touching this terrible pineapple based sauce. We sat outside on a beautiful day, ava it was nice but for the homeless woman yelling at us for a couple of minutes.

It has very good quality food and excellent service. Other than the owner, most servers barely can communicate in English. However, I always felt welcomed and appreciated. In today's environment with so much hatred in the air, this place feels like an oasis right in my backyard. The food is always solid, with the salami breakfast plate being one of my favorites. It comes with three pieces of juicy and flavorful thick cut salami and three pieces fried cheese, two perfectly cooked running eggs, along with mashed plantains. Delicious! I also like their lunch foods, such as pernil and oxtail. The turkey wings are tasty, but a but dry. Their soups are some of my most ordered items as well. My usuals are the trip stew and cow's foot soup. If you look at the crowd, you'll notice a mix of latinos and locals who recognize this small shop as a neighborhood gem.
