They offer Daily Lunch specials, even on the weekends. The flavors are there, and the portions are hearty. Definitely a value if you are seeking a best bang for the buck dining. The beef chow fun noodles are extra wide, I find this to be a treat as it's most likely hand made noodles and not from a factory.

Instead of rushing me off the phone how about you? Focus on getting me better food quality and speedy service thank you. The food is good sometimes but most of the times it is hit or miss so thanks but no thanks I will be flipping a coin before I call this place.

visited this restaurant recently with my coworkers, and unfortunately, it was not a good experience. The first couple of bites were okay, but as we kept eating, the taste started to change and reminded us of the unpleasant smell you’d encounter at a live poultry market. It was hard to enjoy the meal after that. To make matters worse, my coworker and I both ended up with stomach problems soon after eating here. We even had to call out of work the next day because of it. This was my second time eating here, and the first visit was perfectly fine, so I’m not sure what went wrong this time. I’m willing to believe this was just a fluke, but once I get stomach issues from a place, that’s a red flag I can’t ignore. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

Walked into Ming Kee kitchen today accidentally with starving belly when landed hours late in NYC. A hot pot of welcome tea right after seating, thankful in a cold and damp day! The noodle soup with shredded duck meat is typical Cantonese flavor, and the salty fish pellets sauted chicken is authentic. The diced barbecue pork fried rice is a disappointment, felt like soy sauce over-poured, and over-fried smell. Well, felt this is a place for most of work bees to get a homemade dishes quickly regularly with a very fair price in NYC, very decent owner. I was commenting it's even less expensive than the similar dish in Dallas nowadays (Chinese restaurants in Dallas generally are crazily over priced without significant quality upgrade). Found an interesting thing, a white pipe standing next to the wood wall in the restaurant. Guess what the function is?😁

I had the soup dumplings, they were good. Duck/beef/fish ball rice noodle rolls were okay. The roast pork rice noodle roll was more flavorful. The breads taste fine. A good amount of seating. The bathroom was clean.

Went to 10 different places looking for egg custard buns (NOT egg tarts) on a Wednesday after work. Dim sum Sam is the only place that could provide. And provide they did. Delicious bun for a delicious price. Highly recommend going and they also have a spacious interior.

Came here on my two visits to NYC. The overall experience was great. The dine in area was clean and well put together. The food came out fast and tasted great. Overall this restaurant is a good place to go if you just want a quick bit to go.

$5 Lychee Pork Over Rice, even comes with a marinated egg! The white rice is also cooked perfectly with the right stickiness and consistency. Definitely going back!

I’m so disappointed :( Jianbing was so soggy, paid extra for sausage but only received 2 small pieces. Everything kept falling apart and there wasn’t enough balance in the toppings. Try somewhere else for real jianbing.

The crepes is super tasty, you can choose whatever your protein and ingredients on it. It’s a reasonable price but service is a bit too slow. I would recommend to take out instead trying to dine in there.

I have been a customer for a long time but after pandemic they have jacked up the prices so ridiculously high that I have stopped going there till recently. I was charged $65.90 for take out order two dishes that’s is insane .It is so disappointing that these kosher restaurants all over are juicing customers. Someone should do something about it . Instead of encouraging people to keep kosher they make people to consider other choices.

I ordered Uber eats for $36 Extra large fried rice plus fried vegetables And they only give me a small fried rice It’s either a con or they totally messed up they were very busy they may have felt messed up, but that’s not OK. Just look at the photo that I posted $36 for this and I. I don’t know why kosher. 🙄

Asia Express is great fast food. The food is served quickly and piping hot. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The staff took care of my allergies, and made a big effort to make sure I got what I wanted. I wish the restaurant was a little bigger so staying to eat would be a bit more convenient, so I suggest take out. Will definitely come back, as the menu is pretty big and the location is quite convenient for me.

The dishes I have had from Asia Express have all been delicious. I have been a customer for many years, going back to their previous location. The food is also reasonably priced & the owner & his wife are pleasant & hardworking. I do not understand the reviews that say negative things about the food. It is not an experience I have ever had there!

First time at this restaurant 😋 and I love it. Service was excellent 👌 and food a 10/10 I highly recommend bacon wrapped shrimp, crab shrimp and spinach dumplings, shrimp and rice noodles. I love them . Pictures says it all. Can't wait till I go back

Miss these HK Maxim style cart dimsums. Worth a trip out to Chinatown. Conveniently located next to parking lot (although full). Servers quick. No designation so call upon anyone. After so many dumplings and dishes, still room for sesame ball dessert. Hot & sour not szechuan. Not my taste.

This unassuming takeout spot consistently delivers friendly service, a well-priced menu, and most importantly, delicious food. While the atmosphere is casual, the food is anything but. We often call ahead to place our orders and pick them up, although their delivery service is also an option. Expect a 15-20 minute wait for your order to be prepared. The generous portions are perfect for sharing, and we highly recommend trying their fried chicken, spam musubi, Hawaiian chicken, chicken and broccoli, and sesame noodles. *Note that during busy periods, getting through on the phone can sometimes be challenging.

May have issues, but still the best cheeseburger deluxe for a tad over $8.00. Delicious!! They work really hard & always busy. Happy with a yummy, clean, no grease burger & fries. Thank you!!

I've always wanted to try this joint from passing by so many times. Finally had the chance to. They were open since 10am I believe. Picked up an early lunch after doing a work errand. I was a little overstimulated from outside factors so I couldn't thoroughly read the menu. I got fried rice my way and sesame chicken. I don't usually get sesame chicken. First of all I love how they have the sauces grab and go readily available on the counter. That's like 1000 stars from Someone like me right there. Big seating area. I'm sure they get very busy through out the day. Didn't get a drink, food cost $15. I wanna bring bae here. Food was delicious and tasted clean.

This is a no frills place with both take out and dine in. The food is good, made to order. A lot of the typical Chinese take out stuff found at most NY Chinese take outs places, but better than average quality. The Soups are especially good and what they excel at. Service tends to be quick. Short walk from Grand Central. Gets very busy at lunch hours. Very affordable for the area. Been going here for probably 20 years now. Never had a complaint.

M Star Cafe is my family’s go-to Hong Kong cafe in Chinatown. We also love S Wan Cafe (洋紫荊) but they have limited seatings and close on Sundays. I won’t rave about their food but they are up to par. Their HK style milk tea is a standout compared to most HK cafes in NYC, but it is not the best. Iykyk the service is 100% authentic. The whole atmosphere, from the food, service, customers to interior, it transports me back to Hong Kong. They messed up about half of our order this time, but I wasn't mad about it lol. While I’ve heard some say the quality has gone downhill in recent years, the food still tastes authentic to me, and very affordable. The portion size is so big that I almost always end up packing leftovers. ＊Faux Shark Fin Soup 碗仔翅 $4 I was shocked when my boyfriend told me he’d never had this before lol. It’s such a classic street snack in Hong Kong, made with low-cost ingredients like bamboo, fungus, dried mushrooms, and vermicelli to imitate the taste of shark fin soup. It is usually enjoyed with red vinegar and white pepper. The flavor here was spot-on and instantly transported me back in HK—so nostalgic. ＊Corned Beef and Egg Sandwich 蛋牛治 $4 As usual, I ordered the corned beef and egg sandwich. It was massive—I could only finish half. The scrambled eggs were soft, fluffy, and packed with corned beef. ＊Satay Beef Over Rice 沙爹牛肉飯 $10.25 My boyfriend got the satay beef over rice, which also came in a huge portion. We were offended to see “三色豆” (peas) in the dish lol. The beef itself was tasty, though the flavor wasn’t the classic HK-style satay with that peanuty sauce. This version had a much spicier kick to it. ＊Rice Roll with Mixed Peanut Sauces 混醬腸粉 $4* Not sure why it isn’t on the menu but this is apparently what they’re known for. Everyone ordered their mixed peanut sauce rice rolls when we went, and I also get it every time. The steamed rice rolls texture is perfect. Unpopular opinion: I wished they put less sauces. ＊Beef Curry Rice 咖哩牛腩飯 $8.5* In Hong Kong, we describe HK style curry rice as “neon curry” lol. This one 100% matched my expectation. They didn’t skimp on the beef so it was super filling. The curry sauce was spicy and flavorful. I shared with my boyfriend and we couldn’t finish, given he has a big appetite. ＊Russian Macaroni 羅宋湯通粉 $7.5 We were skeptical at first but changed our mind after we tried. It reminded me of the taste of classic HK breakfast macaroni. Very comforting. ＊Beef Flat Noodle Stir Fry 乾炒牛河 $12.5 You really can’t go wrong with beef flat noodle stir fry at HK cafes. I’ve never tried a bad one in NYC so far. ＊HK Style Milk Tea 港式奶茶 $2.65** Well balance of ceylon tea and evaporated milk. Not too bitter (I found the milk tea at Kong Sihk Tong very bitter and overpriced). I usually order it without sugar.

Traditional HK style breakfast food. Brings back memories. Milk tea was good. I got the pork congee and steam rice noodles. My sister got the eggs and toast and coffee. Service was OK, not the same as other restaurants but typically HK style service which is not much but they were there for us. Don't particularly like the paper cups, bowls and plates though. However, whenever the chance comes up, I would go. Love HK style food.

This legendary, generations-owned spot has been around for over 20 years, serving Chinese American (bbq spare ribs, orange chicken…) the owners would swear is just Chinese food it’s so good. You’ve got the grandkids cooking in the back while the owners ensure you get exactly what you want and more. Hot, succulent, delicious, flavorful, spicy, crispy goodness only begins to describe this underrated gem that I’m sure only gets better every day. shout out to the woman runing the place, Xiu! I will be back soon to eventually try all of the menu because it sure beats anything in your neighborhood 🔥

I ordered from Seamless for the first time since the pandemic. I’m not a fan of how food often arrives cold and spilled out of the bag. To my surprise, my order had the restaurant's address listed as my own. I decided to call the restaurant directly, a lady answered—presumably the owner. She explained that my address was the same as hers, which is why we hadn’t received the food. She was incredibly kind, cooked a fresh order, and delivered it herself. The food was hot, neatly contained, and absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant, also the prices are not price gouged. Thank you, from DOWNTOWN MAGAZINE NY, LA, Miami, Europe.
