Cheong Fun Cart

Super cheap eats but a bit bland. Somehow even with the soy sauce, it tasted flavourless. We tried the BBQ pork (char siu), fresh shrimp and beef. All of the toppings tasted the same and were indistinguishable from each other. The noodles were really soft and fresh though. Practically melted in your mouth! The portion was generous (we got the small size). You can’t beat the price but I don’t think it’s worth the line up unfortunately.

This food cart in Manhattan Chinatown is a true Cheap Eats of NYC. $1.75 for a beef rice roll is probably one of the best deals in the city, and the portion size you get for that price makes it very worth it. That being said, while I liked the texture of the rice roll, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the sauce. IMO, the sauce makes the rice roll too salty, and I’ve definitely had better in the city. For $1.75 though, still a good deal for a quick bite. Note: I waited in line for ~15 minutes on a Saturday morning, the line does move a bit slow

Heard alot of hype about this place. Finally made my trip here today to try it out. It’s hot and fresh but the texture is not very authentic to be honest. It’s chewy and the soya sauce is not the taste Chinese people use. Price, can’t beat it.

Amazing beef and pork noodles, made by very friendly ladies in a little street side cart. Definitely understand why there were people lined up to try it! One of our favorites of the food crawl :)

$4.25 for a small container of thick, chewy rice noodle rolls with fresh, perfectly cooked, shrimp and an egg! Breakfast of Champions! No line when I went around 9am and service was fast and efficient. No chitchat but I wasn't there for small talk 😉 After I recieved my order, I took a few steps back and just dug in! Yum! Great cheap eats in NYC! 🙌
