There's not too many Chinese restaurants in this part of Bensonhurst that are actually "good" except for Good Day Seafood Restaurant. Jin Jin and Blue Sky Jwy aren't legit nor very worthy to me and Blue Sky Jwy is quite expensive in my opinion. When we heard that Tung Tung opened up, boy were we estatic! I'm so happy and glad a legit Chinese restaurant opened in my fiance's neighborhood because some times going down to 86th street can be a true nightmare especially when it comes to parking and double parking.
First off, their hours are on their menu and Yelp page are wrong. I have friends and family that have been there past 7PM and they're opened! My fiance and I came here for a sit down breakfast once and there can be quite a wait especially on weekend mornings. I believe the time we went for a sit down breakfast, the wait staff told us they didn't have any fried crullers yet . We ordered our "Tang Jai Jook" (Fisherman's/Sampan congee) and a soy sauce pan-fried noodle. I must admit that their congee feels and tastes slightly different from the ones I usually get a 86 Fu Kee on Bay Parkway. The texture feels different and I must admit when you order take-out from here, they don't give you a lot of ingredients when you get it and it tastes bland-ish too. Their soy sauce pan-fried noodles is decent, but not the best I have had. Honestly, it also feels a little plain too because the last two times I ordered this - it only had chopped mushrooms and bean sprouts (so plain!)
Earlier last week, my fiance and I ordered via phone for take-out - Ho Fun with wontons, cha siu and vegetables. My fiance asked specifically for them to separate the noodles and solids from a different container with the soup which they did not when we arrived, so they had to repackage everything! I'm so used to having some yu choy or leafy vegetable typically with my wonton noodle soup. When we were setting up our noodle soups at his home, we discovered that they were pretty cheap with the vegetables and gave us bean sprouts instead! That's hardly a vegetable. Their cha siu and roasted meats are pretty good, but I still prefer the ones from 86th street.
Overall, I'm happy that Tung Tung opened up on this side of Bensonhurst. It definitely adds value to the neighborhood. The not-so-great parts of Tung Tung is that they do not serve dim sum except for a few selected cheong fun - that's about it. They also do not have like main dishes you can order typically for a dinner or something of that nature. The service here is okay, perhaps a little forgetful and skimpy at times. It's definitely a good place to come though for a simple breakfast, quick lunch or dinner fix and even to pick up roasted meats on the way home from work. read more
