Lean roast pork
Shirley C.

My go to spot for roast meats and congee! Tasty food at great prices. It's no frills, so don't expect great service. There are a few tables if you want to dine in, but it's pretty bare bones. I usually just grab takeout.

This is a seriously solid spot for a quick bowl of congee or wonton noodle soup. We came across this restaurant just by walking past in search of a quick lunch & figured the line of patrons ordering food was an indicator of good eats. We definitely weren't disappointed, placing 4 different orders and receiving the food in record time. The congee was smooth, a great indicator of how long it was boiled for. The flavor was incredible - way better than most I've had, and was the perfect thing to warm us up on a cold winter day. I loved the addition of peanuts to the top, something that many restaurants don't often do. The wonton noodle soup was great as well, and portion sizes for both were pretty large, ensuring you weren't leaving hungry. There isn't much seating at this establishment, so it's definitely more of a take out restaurant. Would definitely return for a warm bowl of congee that's better than I can make myself!

- Locale Destination - It's in 8th ave and 60th st in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Right close to the subway station, the entrance of Chinatown. Ambiance: typical mom & pop's. No frill. Simple and casual. Menu: breakfast like congee to roasted pork/duck w/rice and noodles. Service: quick, no English, credit cards ok - Gluttony Expedition - Roasted duck: Roasted pork won't be available since the opening time. It'll be served after certain time. So I had only a duck choice in the morning. It's an authentic flavor, big portions, $7.5 for lots of food. Not bad! - Conqueror's Deduction - It's more like 3.5 stars. It's cheap, decent, big portions, and cash only. What not to like?

This restaurant is a family regular as I come to 8th Ave infrequently. This is authentic Cantonese. The decor is barebones as possible. Restroom is only for customers. After you order and pay for your food. Cleaning is self service. This time my family ordered congee and I ordered a sweet fried bread. This is not as frequently as available as the other longer fried dough.

Congee with Duck Egg and Pork

It's a small hole-in-the-wall takeout shop, but there are some seats in the back to dine in. It is not a fancy place, nor do they have the best service, but if you're looking for a fast and more affordable meal, this is the place to stop by. I came here twice and enjoyed the food. Of everything we ordered, I liked the pork belly and congee. The duck was good, but it was on the saltier side.

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Located within Brooklyn Chinatown, ordering was a chaotic process with the many cutting the queue to order. I guess speaking Cantonese and calling out the order to Auntie is helpful... The restaurant was pretty warm even with the ductless air conditioner turned on. The beef brisket roast duck leg noodle soup was excellent. The beef brisket was very tender and flavorful. The roast duck leg was fragrant and tender. The egg noodles were tasty and the pork broth was light. There are a few tables towards the back of the restaurant for eating on-site. $10 for lunch, cash only.

This restaurant has some of the best congee in all of NYC imho, along with some of the best Cantonese style roast meats (aka Chinese BBQ) as well. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any of the congees, so I won't bother listing out everything I like (all of them). In regards to the roast meats, quality and taste is second to none, including famous spots like Big Wong in Chinatown. However, depending on the chef cutting up your meats, you could get some weird shapes and cuts. This is the one negative I have with their food. Every time I stop by the area, it is now a foregone conclusion that I will pick up some congee and maybe roast meats. Only question is how much? And usually the answer is way too much. Lol

Front counter

My go-to for morning breakfast that satisfies my heart and tummy. It serves mainly Cantonese style rice and noodles dishes that I grew up eating as a kid. My favorite is their Sampan Congee (Tan-jai Jook), a combination of seafood and minced meat cooked together in rice porridge. Their porridge is always the right consistency that's perfect with a Fried Dough stick. Breakfast just doesn't get any better than this. Price is decent and gets you full. The wonton noodle soup tastes very similar to what I had in Hong Kong. The only complaint is the ordering process. The front counter is very narrow, customers lines up from the left and right, and just shout out their orders. If you want to give the traditional Canto style cuisine a try: this place might be a good start.

Stumbled upon the most delicious and cheap Cantonese food on 8th Avenue. It doesn't surprise me at the amount of volume. I was coming off a long day of work and I ended up stumbling across Ng's Kitchen, which prior was located in Fei Long food court. Their food has never failed to amaze me as I have tried other restaurants roast meat. I always received dry and untendered meat but at Ng's Kitchen, they have never failed me. There's a reason they always have a line! I ordered my family two duck lo meins and one wonton duck mein. The portion for the price is insane. I genuinely am a huge fan of their breakfast menu with congee and sweet fried bread but at times they are hard to come by since they always sell out super quick. I would not hesitate to recommend to all my fellow friends, family, and co-workers!

BK Seafood Market was a refreshing find in Bay Ridge. We came for dinner with my wife, parents, and…read moresiblings and ordered a big family-style spread of more than 10 dishes. We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner. Highly recommended for a family-style Chinese seafood meal in Bay Ridge.

It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me. Seemed fancier than other Chinese restaurants! Ordered a variety of dishes and they were all really large portions and well-prepared. None were overly salty or sweet, just right. My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

My go-to answer when people ask for my favorite dim sum spot in NYC!…read more My family has been loyal to East Harbor (迎賓) near 8 Av Brooklyn since it first opened, back when my nephew was still a newborn, and he's going to college this year LOL. They even serve fresh tofu pudding (豆腐花) and ridiculously good fried black sesame balls (黑芝麻煎堆). These are two things I always look forward to whenever we come here. We've tried almost everything on their dim sum and à la carte menu, and the quality has been consistently good over the years. I just noticed they're actually listed in the Michelin guide. The wait can be over an hour on weekends, so I'd recommend getting here before 10:30am if you want to grab a table before the crowds roll in. My top picks: - Char Siu Pie 叉燒酥 - Deep Fried Meat Dumpling 鹹水角 - Char Siu Rice Roll 叉燒腸粉 - Fried Black Sesame Balls 黑芝麻煎堆 - Black Sesame Balls 雷沙湯圓 - Tofu Pudding 豆腐花 Other favorites: - Veggie Pork Bun 菜肉包 - Abalone Siu Mai 鮑魚燒賣 - Shrimp Dumpling 蝦餃 - Peking Style Pork Chop 京都骨 - Pan Fried Water Chestnut Cake 煎馬蹄糕 - Egg Tart 蛋撻

Quality/Quantity - So nice to see the rolling carts. It brings back so many memories. Most (if not…read moreall) restaurants in the west coast do not do this anymore to save $$$$, to save labor. But then they lose the suggestive sell, the impulse purchases, etc. Anyway, Brooklyn Chinatown was just okay, but since we were here, we decided to eat. Hard to beat NY and SF Chinatowns. Pictured menu, thank you. Got some fairly standard Dim Sum, see pictures. Similar quality as the west coast. Abalone Sui Mai was the only different thing we tried from the west coast, not bad. Tea is $1.50 per person. Ambiance - A good size restaurant. Busy. Private rooms available. Of course, you can also rent out the entire restaurant for banquets. Open 7 days a week from 9am to 10pm. Service - Good. The cart team is fairly aggressive at suggestive selling. Price - $31 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2009.

I'm talking grandma's-house-in-the-mainland type canto food like bitter melon, pork meat pie, fermented peppers, and braised pig's feet. It's the real deal and it's REAL GOOD. They also serve roast meat (chicken, duck, pork). They don't speak fluent English, so it will help if you know Mandarin/Cantonese OR keep your dialogue to a minimum by following the directions below. I highly recommend getting the combo with rice and 3 sides. To order, go up to the glass window (outside) and gesture that you want your food to-go or to eat-in. I usually get it to-go. The sides are displayed in the pans behind the glass. Choose 3 by pointing. My usual order is a meat pie, preserved peppers, and a vegetable. Then, go inside and pay (about $6.50 per combo). They will ask if you want a free soup...say yes because the soup is filled with MSG and is delicious. I can understand why people would be hesitant to come here due to concern for cleanliness, but all the good restaurants in Chinatown are dirty. I'll take my chances.

There was a wait list, tons of reservations, and the whole place was hustling and bustling. The food smelled amazing, and the ambiance was lively and fun overall. We were excited to eat! We were walk-ins, so I appreciated that they were able to get us in. The hostess was running a very tight ship - very "no BS"/no nonsense ... and hey, I get it, it was crazy, but at times it erred a bit unnecessarily rude? It just left me feeling a bit off, but not the end of the world. Food-wise, we tried a lot of different things. The highlight was honestly the scallion pancakes. They were DELISH! Not too doughy, not too dry, and the vinegar dipping sauce was amazing (I know it's just the standard vinegar but dang it's so good). It was a classic really well executed. The steamed pork dumplings were also quite yummy. For our mains, we got the garlic baby bok choy, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. The beef chow fun looked amazing and we had heard really good things about it, but unfortunately it was a little dry and lacked flavor... just sort of bland? We ended up pouring some of the vinegar sauce over it, which helped, but I was a little disappointed because it looked so good. The baby bok choy was really loaded it up with garlic chunks and was also yummy and a good portion. It was juicy and had a great texture, but my only note was that it felt like it needed just a little more seasoning or salt? Overall, though, it was good. The kung pao chicken was INTENSE. I knew it'd be spicy, but truthfully it was my first time ever trying it and it was a tad difficult to eat without rice. The chicken thighs had a texture that felt a little gummy to me? I wished the chicken had been a bit more browned too. The peanuts and veggies rocked, but the sauce and chicken were huge misses for us. I typically would never send anything back, but my friend insisted as it was tough to enjoy. They did take our dish from the table... but then a manager brought it back and was a bit condescending towards us saying they didn't do that and everyone knows it's a spicy dish... which, I'm trying to be fair about because he didn't know it was my first time, but it just again felt unnecessarily rude. I hate wasting food, so we kept it and took it home rather than let it go to waste. I just thought the whole interaction was a little strange. Truly - I wasn't really looking to get something for free. We just didn't enjoy the dish and were trying to figure out what our options were and it basically felt like he just came over to make us feel small instead of problem solving together. Weird. I'm always one for second chances so I'm hoping to try it again, but I would highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a calmer experience.
