    For the price, this can't be beat!! $9.75 for 3 item meat combo over rice. All really solid. One small table inside and everyone is very friendly. Food also comes with soup! Highly recommend the honey roast duck :)

    I was in the neighborhood for a 2 hour massage and knew that I had to eat before my hour train ride back to Brooklyn. When you walk in there are multiple stands but two women approached me before I could look around and asked me what I'd want to order. By the time I ordered, and paid with Venmo since no credit card is accepted, my food was bagged up with a water in the bag. Maybe I'm not a big fan of duck, but I thought it was ok. But, the roast pork stole the show. Cut in thin slices with a sweet glaze over a bed of rice and steamed, unseasoned bok choy. Very filling and good, but I do think they can cut back on the rice and add a little more veggies. Definitely worth the price if you're in the neighborhood, but theres no bathroom for the public (well this is what I was told). There is seating to eat but it seems like more of a grab & go, cheap no frills type of spot.

    $8 and they give you a bottled water. Not great. Too fatty and lacked flavor.

    Return or not return? Will only return if desperate for Chinese BBQ. Not great, but geesh it was only $8!!!

    Food: The roast meats here are delicious! We ordered three meats over rice which also comes with Shanghai bok choy. For the three meats, we chose roast pig, roast duck, and scallion chicken. All meats were amazing. The skin on the roast pig was crispy and the meat was moist. The roast duck was good but not the best I've had in NYC. The scallion chicken was very moist and flavorful. I would come back here for their roast meats! Service/Ambiance: This place is more of a takeout spot than a sit down restaurant. They do have two seats against the window, and they charge you $1 extra if you want to sit there and eat. Staff were friendly and brought us our dish when it was ready. I would plan on taking out if you come here. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

    Roast pork over rice

    Salivating as I write this review. Hubby and I spent $16 on 2 really delicious rice and meat dishes yesterday. I got the roast pork over rice and he got half roast duck + half roast pig (PORK is the regular kind, PIG comes with the crispy skin). All the meats were really great and whatever sauce they pour on the rice was top notch. The steamed leafy green vegetables that came with the dishes were also perfect. Can't say enough about this place. We loved it so much, we're probably going to get it again today for lunch. This place is cash only, btw!

    Recently, the flavor is either too salty or too bland. The service is terrible too; when I am trying to see what other meats I want to try, the ladies just keep yelling at you. There was no line or anything behind us, but she just kept shouting at us to order. Then, we went to pay, and was pulling our wallet out, but the cashier said we have to pay first, which we already know. The service sucks, so I won't be going anymore.

    I ordered delivery through hungry panda for this restaurant and found out afterwards that the delivery driver paid for the meal through cash and that the restaurant doesn't accept card payments through the app. It was an unusual experience for me and I wanted to give a heads up to others who may be using the app. Corner 28 gave generous portions at great prices. Their preserved egg with pork congee was pretty standard. Their roasted pork and duck dish was decent, but not the most tender. However, their beef noodle soup was quite awful. The beef balls were too tough, the soup base wasn't that great, and I didn't really enjoy the overall taste. It was pretty hard to finish and my boyfriend and I ended up tossing the noodles out. If the beef ball noodle soup wasn't so bad, the overall rating would have been 4/5.

    I was wandering Sunrise Park and needed a quick lunch to get me over. Due to inflation, my favorite char su pork over rice is no longer the $6.75. When I noticed that this place marked there pork at over $7, I needed to find out why. Food: 3/5 I regularly go to these type of BBQ places (Flushing and Elmhurst). So, I excited to see what Sunrise has to offer. I will start by saying that I was surprised by amount of char su in the given. Sometimes you get half the box or 75% but usually never the whole top. The meat was very tender, salty, and not too sweet. However, I was soon disappointed by the rice and bland yu choy. I will admit these seem to be the common pain points for most of these BBQ places but, I was hoping for the over $7 price I could atleast get some Jasmine rice. All in all, I would go again just for the meat (1/2lb or 1lb). However, probably not for a rice box.

    I love this roast pork place. They have more than just roast pork, they offer duck, chicken, beef, and most meats. I love the roast pork Side dish the best. My family and I always come here for the roast pork and duck. I also love the rice casseroles. The rice is always super crispy at the bottom and the portion is pretty big. It is also always delicious and always tastes the same, delicious. Their price is also pretty cheap. They used to do a deal where if you make a purchase of $12 they give half a pound of roast pork for free, but due to COVID they stopped offering this deal. Nonetheless, I still continue to visit as their food is amazing and their prices are always affordable.

    I haven't been to the Brooklyn Chinatown on 8th Ave for a long time. After the rally and march earlier today, I came here for dinner with a bunch of people including China Mac, Steven Lee, and William Lex Ham! Luckily, our group of 7 was seated at the only table outside of Corner 28 for outdoor dining. An employee told us that we needed to order and pay inside. The restaurant was small so remember to line up one by one in front of the cash wrap while wearing a mask and social distancing! Note: If you are looking for the bathroom, which was towards the back on your left-hand side. Steven Lee ordered for our table and many people got the combo with three meat choices over rice which came with BBQ Pork (Char Siu), Roast Duck, and Chicken topped with scallions and ginger. I just got the BBQ Pork (Char Siu) over rice with a can of Sunkist. I wish that they gave me the fatty slices with the burnt ends *drools* Overall, the food was yummy. Wow, the start of my birthday month has been amazing especially eating dinner with one of my favorite Asian rappers China Mac ::screaming:: Definitely bookmark this spot!

    Great spot for roast meats. The roast pork and honey roasted duck were my favorites.

    Roast duck with rice
    Anh P.

    I like their roasted pig. The place is small with maybe 2 seats inside. I ordered a pound of roast pig and Roast duck with rice. Absolutely satisfied with how they are cooked and seasoned. They also gave me sauce and soup. I went in and out in 5 minutes. There is no parking spot around so you will need to park somewhere around and walk to the place

    Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.

There was nothing that I ordered that needed ketchup. Nothing. There wasn't even soy sauce in the bag. Then had the unmitigated gall to charge $22 for the salt baked shrimp and told me I had to pay $5 extra to substitute the lo mein for white rice. Who is eating white rice with shrimp? Girl bye. I'm not paying almost $30 for one meal from a hood Chinese spot. If there's no heat in your establishment, your prices need to be in lowercase. If it looks like you might catch staph in your establishment, your prices need not to be so loud. I also believe they overcharged me. They did have a sign saying that the prices went up, but I think they may have been too cheap to print out a new menu if that was the case. I was going off of what they had on the wall for the general public. So as I stated, I ordered crab Rangoon ($7, allegedly), honey wings ($7, allegedly), a shrimp egg roll ($2, allegedly), spare rib tips with fried rice ($12, allegedly). My total was $31. My assumption is they probably charged me extra for pork fried rice, which I didn't ask him for. I know for a fact they are not charging tax because there's no way that you're forcing people to pay in cash while also charging them for taxes that you don't pay. The crab Rangoon was actually pretty decent even though I didn't have the sauce that comes with it. The honey wings were OK. They actually taste more like honey BBQ. I prefer C&Y honey wings. It's real honey and stay hot for an hour due to the way honey maintains heat. I also don't appreciate when these spots chop up a wing and call it two wings. 1 wing is the entire thing. STINGY. The spare rib tips I don't like and neither do I like their pork fried rice. The rice is a bit bland and I don't like those large spare rib tips. I prefer the boneless spare rib tips that C&Y has. A shrimp roll is a shrimp roll is a shrimp roll. It wasn't too bad and it was actually pretty happy. The shrimp was a little bit larger than those baby shrimp that they normally stuff in shrimp rolls. Their pricing is on par with C&Y yet I don't have no issues paying what they ask and their food is good aside from their lo mein. They are not stingy and have pretty decent customer service unlike the guy who took my order here who paused my order to take another order over the phone and tend to the person behind me. This is what I get for cheating on my spot and being lazy when they both were far af.
