NY Go Go Fast Food is one of those matchless no-frills places to go to get a super quick, filling, inexpensive bite - or many bites because there's so much variety in one store. It used to be called Yummy Dim Sum and has been in the same spot for almost a decade now.
The menu consists of over 50 delicious items - although I've frequented this establishment, I still have yet to try them all. I usually get the fried pork buns, fried dumplings, scallion pancake, soybean milk (a must get!), and sticky rice roll here. On my most recent visit, I tried the salted soybean curd ($2.50) and really enjoyed it - it tastes like really flavorful hot & sour soup, except with tofu. As for the sticky rice roll, there's pork floss, pickled veggies, and a fried cruller enclosed inside the sticky rice. The rice cakes, taro cake, chow fun, sticky rice, sweet soybean curd, congee with pork & century egg, fish balls, and fish tofu are good picks here as well (it seems like I listed a lot, but that's just a small portion of the menu)! If you come later in the evening, they might run out of popular breakfast items, such as the scallion pancake and fried dough sticks. The prices of the food items range from $1.75-$8, with most items being $3 and under. That value is hard to beat!
There's a dining area with 6+ seats available, where you can strike up random conversations with the diverse patrons at the shared table. They also provide sauces such as sriracha and vinegary soy sauce, if you want to dip your dumplings or anything in.
English is not the main language spoken at this establishment, but don't let that hold you back from these great eats. There are color menus up above with pictures, a text menu to the left of the ordering area with Chinese and English translations, or you can simply point directly at the food (behind the protective covering). The staff here are so patient and friendly; they work very hard with a smile on their faces!
NY Go Go Fast Food is located right next to an entrance of the 7 train, so is perfect for those in a hurry or on the go who need a quick filling bite, but that also means that it can get packed with a long line, especially in the early mornings. But fear not, that seemingly long line moves very quick. Prepare your cash! read more
