Save your time and find yourself another HK cafe if that's what you're craving. 鴛鴦 (HK Milk tea + coffee drink): would not recommend. Tastes like sour coffee. Tomato beef macaroni: lacked flavor, beef was a weird texture. Baked rice: smothered with a layer of sauce and cheese (you would think is a good thing?) until you see the raw vegetables mixed in with it. If you get seated by the wall, know that you'll have to interrupt the table next to you to get out. Additionally, when the table next to us left and a new customer walked in, she was seated to THAT table right away (no one came to even wipe the seats or table) with the rice crumbs and milk tea splatters left on that table! Foul. I'm never coming back. What a waste of calories. read more

Back to my favorite cha chaan teng in NYC for their $8.25 breakfast set! I usually come to High Five for their set meals (常餐), but this time I finally got up early enough for their breakfast sets lol. The breakfast is cheaper but also comes in a smaller portion, which I think it's still enough. Each noodle set comes with eggs of your choice, butter toast and hot drink. Their Hong Kong style milk tea and iced lemon tea taste super authentic, exactly like what I grew up having in HK. Tipping is also appreciated but not required! ＊Satay Beef over Vermicelli 沙嗲牛肉米粉 ** ＊Spiced Minced Pork over Noodle 五香肉丁公仔麵 ** ＊Macaroni Noodle Soup with Ham 火腿通粉 They make the 五香肉丁 in house, so it's already miles better than the canned ones. And I get their satay beef every time because this is the BEST I've had in NYC! I've been let down by so many spots, but this one tastes exactly like the kind I grew up with. Savory, peanut-y, and sooo good with instant noodles or vermicelli. ＊HK Style French Toast 一口西多士 $6 * Almost every table ordered the french toast and now I get why. Since it's cut into cubes, you get extra crispy edges in every bite. The center was filled with peanut butter. Crunchy, buttery, and sooo nostalgic. ＊HK Street Style Shu Mai 魚肉燒賣 $4.5 One of my favorite HK street snacks, and it's actually hard to find fish paste shumai in NYC. These are bouncy and perfect with a drizzle of sweet soy sauce. It's definitely pricier than what you'd get in HK, but it hit the craving. read more

Came here after coming back from HK. We got here around 5:55PM, good amount of time before they closed at 7pm. We got seated as it wasn't busy and got to ordering! We got the mixed sauce rice rolls with fish balls, curry pork cutlet rice, imitation shark fin soup, and the French toast. The cutlet was pretty good, nice flavor and kick for a cold night. The fresh toast looked crispy, but was actually quite soggy with ok flavor. The soup was too thick, but good taste. The food was generally ok but we were turned off by the experience there. Before we got seated, we asked if they were still open to not intrude on them closing and they assured us they were. As we were ordering and eating, there were staff cleaning up and mopping the floor. Cleaning up made us felt rushed as if we were holding them from leaving, and mopping the floor near us with a bleach product was not the best in terms of scent mixed with food. I felt they could've waited till we left (we ate quickly and left at 6:35, prior to their closing time). read more

I had high hopes for this place but disappointed. Service was good and the place was packed. Staffs were working hard and food came out very quick. I wanted the rice rolls but they didn't have it which was weird. I been to so many hk cafes and to HK and that never happened before. I ordered the breakfast set $8.75 each. The noodles with minced pork and preserved vegetables was good but portions was very small. It came with a hot drink. Options were hot coffee, lemon tea or milk tea. I had the milk tea and it came in a cute little cup. It was very standard. The toast and eggs was standard. The next set was chicken cutlet. It was tiny. It did taste good but it was kids portion. The ham was also good. I also ordered the red bean ice which was $5.75 and they added an extra quarter since it was in a to go cup. It was not good. Very bland and not creamy at all. Skip it. I also ordered the French toast for $6 and this dish was good. Paid in cash and tipped. Tax is added on whether you pay in cash or not. (It is the norm compared to back in the days iykyk) They really need to improve on the red bean ice and have rice rolls and portions need to be bigger. read more

Was in the mood for HK style snack and decided to drop in for a bite. Was able to grab a table for dine-in; Ordered the fried pork cutlet sandwich combo (comes with fries and HK milk tea), and square HK style French toast. Food came out promptly and warm- I especially liked the one bite french toast (peanut butter and condense milk drizzle)-tasted decadent. I also liked the sandwich, though the fries tasted just alright. The HK style Milk tea is a must (customers adjust the sweetness). Menu also has a varieties of breakfast combo deals and brunch menu as well. This is a popular spot in the area-expect a bit of a wait during the morning. read more

Overall a 3.75/5. Let's start with the good. The noodle soup where you can choose your own soup base was quite delicious and jam packed with a generous portion of ingredients! My wife also really liked the sharkfin soup, which she said was more flavorful than the one from Kowloon. The seating was spacious and comfortable, and the interior design was reflective of your typical cha chan tang. Now onto the not so great. The corned beef egg sandwich had plenty of egg but very little corned beef, which basically made it taste like just an egg sandwich unfortunately. The satay beef was also not that great and lacked the nutty and creaminess that classic satay beef often has, which was the most disappointing for me for that dish was what I looked forward to the most. The red bean ice drink was quite heavy on the ice and since the red bean wasn't blended, most of the ice trapped the red bean and made the drink less than average. The staff weren't that sociable and seemed to keep to themselves in the back area. Water is self-served so there's really minimal interaction with staff, but their lack of smile just made the atmosphere less enjoyable than it could have been. Overall I believe High Five has potential of being another good HK style cha chan tang in Brooklyn, so I hope they can continue to improve certain selections while maintaining consistency on the items that they are doing so well in. I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes nonetheless. Thank you for reading and best of luck! (: read more

After my recent trip to Hong Kong, I was really missing the food and came in with high hopes. Unfortunately, the food ended up being just average and the atmosphere made the overall experience disappointing. We ordered the steamed rice noodles with fish balls, imitation shark fin soup, French toast, and the fried pork cutlet with curry sauce. Imitation shark fin soup 3/5 - The flavor was good, but it was much thicker than expected. French toast 2/5 - It looked like it would be crispy on the outside, but it turned out soft and slightly soggy. Fried pork cutlet with curry sauce 3.5/5 - The pork was not very crispy and had a very thick starch coating, though the curry sauce itself tasted good. This dish could have been great if the pork was crispier. The meal also came with a Hong Kong milk tea, which was pretty solid. Steamed rice noodles with fish balls 4/5 - My favorite dish of the night. The flavor was great and the fish balls had a nice texture. I just wish the sauce was a bit thicker so it would cling better to the noodles. As for the service, I know tips are optional and everything like utensils and water is self serve so I did not expect much. That said, the staff started cleaning while we were still eating. They close at 7 pm and we arrived at 6 pm, but by 6:05 they were already mopping and moving chairs around us. The strong bleach smell and the rushed feeling really killed my appetite. Overall, this was not a great experience and I will not be coming back. read more

Quality: 9/10 everything was piping hot and cooked well. Instant noodles were not soggy, beef was tender, and the rice noodles were the best I've had since visiting HK. Variety: 9/10 a lot traditional HK dishes to choose from which is why we got so many dishes for just the two of us. Atmosphere/Cleanliness: 8/10 clean restaurant with Cha Chan Tang style seating so if it gets busy it might be hard to seat big groups of 4 or more. Service: N/A they have a sign stating tipping is optional which is similar to cafes in Hong Kong, but they did seat us and take our order almost immediately. Food came out within 10-15 minutes. Price: $30 including tax and tip read more

High Five 囍筷 - French Toast / Steamed Rice Noodle in House Special Sauce / Instant Noodle Soup with Satay Beef / Toast and Scrambled Egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We are always looking for Hong Kong style tea cafes that serve our favorite type of brunch, Cha Chan Tang style. And we think the taste of High Five was close to the places we love in Hong Kong. The stuffed vegetables reminded me of the ones you find at street stalls in Kwun Tong. The mixed sauce rice rolls were similar to the ones I had in Cheung Chau. The French Toast bites were such a highlight and had to order my childhood favorite, red bean ice! read more

High Five 囍筷 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We went to High Five for afternoon tea. There was plenty of seating, and the walls were filled with photos, giving the place a cozy, nostalgic feel. The menu was full of tempting choices. It took me a while to decide because everything looked so good, and the prices were very reasonable. We ordered with the staff (who were super nice and accommodating), but you also have the option to order at the register or through a QR code. Water is self-serve, which was convenient. For drinks, the Hong Kong milk tea was spot-on. Strong black tea with just the right amount of creamy milk. The imitation crab meat with scrambled egg sandwich was simple but comforting, a classic you can't go wrong with. The real star was the French toast with peanut butter and condensed milk, crispy and golden, almost like it had been deep-fried, then smothered in sweet condensed milk, an absolute must-try. The steamed rice noodle with house special sauce came in bite-sized pieces and was so easy to snack on that it disappeared quickly. The Hong Kong-style shumai and curry fish balls leaned more on the basic side. The shumai was standard, and the fish balls were small and simple. Overall, High Five is a laid-back spot with classic Hong Kong café vibes. While not every dish stood out, the French toast and milk tea definitely make it worth a visit. read more

Staffs were friendly. There is a lot of seating, however, I had to wait a little bit because the place was packed for brunch on Thursday morning. The breakfast set was $8.25. The satay beef tasted good however it was only a couple of pieces. It came with a hot drink, toast and eggs which definitely fills you up. Also, double check the bill when it comes; the waitress ended up giving us the wrong bill which was our neighbor's. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 read more

Came here for an early dinner / late lunch type of thing with friends and grandma. Approved by grandma! There is an extensive menu and the prices are really good! If you come for morning, there's breakfast sets. We tried a couple items but highlights: the Hong Kong milk tea was good, the curry fish balls not bad, the cherng fun with peanut and soy sauce was good, fried Shu Mai, and the baked spaghetti with the chicken cutlet. I would definitely come again. read more

Very busy little shop so spaces are a bit cramped and crowded. The service is pretty fast though. Food HK style tea; 4/5 solid tea. Nothing special. Make sure to add your own sugar. French Toast: 3/5 not the worst but not the best. Instead of thick toast it's three toasts put together. It looks it would've been crispy but unfortunately soggy. Also the oil they use for it seems to be peanut oil or at least has an oily nutty after taste after you eat the French toast and has the taste that the oil is due for a change. Other than that it certainly needs more condense milk. It's was more of a soft and dry. Corn beef egg sandwich: 3/5. Not terrible for the price and the beef was very flavorful. However, there was barely any beef and it wasn't spread evenly. The toast was soft and definitely needed to be toasted more. The egg was good though. Overall it boggles my mind the amount of people there. The food was cheap but mediocre. read more

Came by for lunch with my sister. Food was decent. Ambiance is bright and spacious. We ordered some food to share. One thing i should warn u in advance is do NOT order the "curry triple delight". For $6, its NOT worth what your getting. Its literally 4 fishballs, 1 piece of tripe and 1 piece of pork skin. I wish i ordered something else instead had i known how little i was getting. Rice noodles with house special sauce- pretty good! Rice noodles in Dry mala sauce with beef slices- delicious! We really enjoyed this one. Hot HK tea- my sister enjoyed it Red bean ice- it was ok! Overall, we had a decent lunch. Service was ok, nothing particularly stood out on service. read more

No bells, no whistles, you get what you pay for, and hopefully you'll enjoy what you ordered. There's a big TV that's always running news in Cantonese, a self-help water station if you want to call it that, and many diners that zoom in and out. You'll find yourself almost rubbing elbows no matter where you sit unless you're at a booth. It can get a bit tight and you might bump into the other patrons and/or their food. I sincerely wish they have coat hooks considering how cramped spaces can be; we were holding onto our winter coats on our laps while we ate. The HK canteen menu items makes us want to return; the tea is a yay, the coffee is a pass, and the food is a thanks. See you when we see you! read more

High Five 囍筷 - The 3 treasures - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you're planning to come here for a quick rice plate lunch, you might want to look elsewhere. The beef was tough and chewy, which is surprising since most Chinese spots use the velveting technique that keeps their proteins super tender. The green scallion sauce was fine but overly salty. You can get the rice plate combo with a drink for $12, which seems reasonable until you realize the drinks are just canned sodas, and options like coffee or milk tea cost extra. I went with a cold honey lemon drink that was about 60% ice, and it added another $2.25 to the combo. I also added an egg for another $2, bringing the total to $17 2!which was not worth it. Maybe most people come for the Hong Kong breakfast combos, but for lunch, the rice plates just don't hit. The only bright side is that it's a no-tip establishment, and the food comes out quickly. read more

A quick serviced Hong Kong style cafe that offers comfort food. We ordered their satay beef instant noodle set, pork chop sandwich, baked pork chop rice and baked spaghetti with meat sauce. The satay beef instant noodle was flavorful and legit and had peanut chunks from the peanut butter. However, the sunny side egg still had some uncooked egg whites and one of the yolk was broken. Their pork chop sandwich was my favorite. The pork chop was marinated well and tasty. It was also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The bun, although a little burnt, was nicely toasted in which the outside was crispy yet chewy on the inside while also absorbing all the juice from the pork. I was however disappointed with their baked dishes. The baked spaghetti with meat sauce hardly had any meat in it. The spaghetti was a little over cooked, and the sauce had no depth to it and felt like it was just ketchup mixed with water. The cheese was as also extremely overpowering. The same sauce was used for pork chop rice except it had a little more flavor to it from the veggies and the pork chop, which was also nicely done as I assume it's the same pork chop as the sandwich. Cheese was also overpowering so we ended up scraping them off. We also ordered iced lemon tea and salted lemon 7 up. Their lemon tea tasted legit. The tea flavor was strong and it was wasn't too sweet. Their salted lemon however, was a little weird as the lemon came in slices versus the smaller whole salted brined lemon that were used to. The staffed assured us the lemon is salted but I didn't taste it at all. The restaurant was clean, spacious and comfortable for Hong Kong style cafe standards. Service was quick and the staff were attentive. They do take credit or debit cards but there is a $20 minimum. There is no extra service charge. Overall, I think it's a good place to go to their snacks and breakfast options. I would stay away from their baked dishes. read more

Came here for breakfast. The restaurant is small but the staff is very efficient. However this is not the place to sit and linger. They serve the food fast and expect you to eat fast and the leave. They take plates away as soon as its empty. The food was decent. Nothing special. Everything tasted average. The french toast was good. I just wish there was more peanut butter flavor. Overall we had a good meal and would come back. read more

I live in the area and discovered High Five recently. I think I found my new favorite HK spot! I was greeted by Fion and she was so welcoming. She recommended their best dishes and I got the set meals that come with a drink. Everything here is fairly priced and the portions were pretty generous. The HK Milk tea was so good and woke me right up. The baked spaghetti was next level and I had leftovers to take home. The satay beef instant noodle was also pretty tasty as well. For apps, the peanut sauce fish ball rice noodle was bomb and condensed milk french toast was perfectly sweet. I'll definitely come back with my family. read more

High Five 囍筷 - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here for breakfast back in September when we were in the area. 4 Stars because at the time we came, they didnt have the mixed sauce noodles we wanted. Overall, the feel and the meal would be similar to what you know HK cha chan tangs to be. The meals were simple - ramen with various toppings of your choice and it comes with HK style milk tea, egg and toast. Personally, I dont love HK style milk tea from anywhere since they are thicker than regular so nothing to write about there. The toast we ordered were pretty good! Will come back soon when we are in the area to try other menu items. Also- I do love that they did have super trio on TV! How fun to watch that early in the morning while enjoying breakfast! read more

This Cha Chan Tang place felt fairly new and clean. Casual and spacious, staff was friendly and made some recommendations. I had high expectations for the food but it was alright, very simple comfort food. They have a few Hong Kong style breakfast sets that would be a good deal. The HK milk tea was good. The spiced minced pork and satay beef was on the better part of my experience, lots of flavor in the marinated meat but noodles and broth was lacking flavor and depth that would have made it truly satisfying. I could do without egg and and toast next time. French Toast was not soft and fluffy as I wanted, will probably skip this next time. read more

Ok... another Cha Chaan Teng! Loving this spread of HK style cafes, but would love for them to perfect their craft tho... This spot is quite small, a few tables for 4s, 2s and can configured to larger if necessary but definitely not for large groups. They open early so great spot for breakfast! Since other spots are now opening after 10am which defeats the whole purpose of early breakfast... like in HK. Service is quick, food comes out fast, especially for the breakfast sets and items. I think the real test whether a Cha Chaan Teng has what it takes... is 1) Milk Tea and 2) Churn Fun... Here we got the egg & toast, scrambled eggs & ham sando, churn fun and milk tea. Milk tea was OK La... would have liked it to be more rich (3/5); and Churn Fun was just OK (3/5). The scrambled eggs could be a bit more fluffy. Overall it's a decent spot and if anyone craving the HK style breakfast, hit this up! Feel like they make it slightly better than other new ones... read more

Having just returned from Hong Kong, I was missing the breakfasts in HK so badly. I looked at High Five's menu online and was happy to see they had breakfast combos and the prices were not that far off compared to the fare I've been eating on the other side of the world. But maybe my standards rose after eating authentic HK food for a while, so I was pretty disappointed with the food I was served. Steamed Rice Noodles in House Special Sauce and HK Street Style Shumai - Not bad, very saucy. Prob the best out of everything I ordered. 4/5 Fried Fish Filet With Scrambled Egg and Ham - This came with two slices of buttered bread, but it was truly the saddest pieces of bread ever. They were so flat and thin and had a color that only stale bread would have. It didn't taste that fresh. Even the fast food chains in Hong Kong (Fairwood, Cafe de Coral, etc) had better bread - so thick and soft! The eggs were missing that "underdone"ness that the breakfast scrambled eggs in HK had. The one half of a slice of ham was very thin and sad too. The amount of sauce served with the fried fish was enough for like a few bites. Maybe the little food and low quality is how High Five can offer cheap breakfast sets. 1/5 Satay Beef Instant Noodles Soup With Scrambled Eggs and Buttered Bread - Taste of the noodles was acceptable, but felt like they were cutting corners again with the couple of pieces of beef included. When comparing to pictures of my satay beef instant noodle breakfasts in Hong Kong, the slices of meat were nice and big and more than what High Five served. Review of the eggs and buttered bread is same as the other dish. 3/5 I like the setup of the interior, especially with the HK tv channels playing on the screen. The workers were nice. read more

Read the menu carefully! I ordered the combo C, which offered a meal and a hot drink. I asked for a cold drink, but they charged me for it, so I didn't get a free drink with my combo. Then, the waitress asked if I wanted ramen or rice noodles, which made me think I could choose any without any additional charge. However, I was mistaken. All these options were listed in the menu, but I didn't bother to read about them because they were small. It would've been nice if the waitress was kindly to let me know it was an extra charge. read more

Had the baked chicken cutlet rice and the deluxe noodle soup. Both were just too salty which overpowered the taste. I also had the French toast which was a bit too sweet. The shrimp stuffed peppers and tofu were good. I enjoyed the Ovaltine and Horlicks. Interior was nice and service was quick. Otherwise there are better HK places to eat. read more

When I miss the affordable set meals of hong kong, I come here in the morning. The set meals are simple but very reminscent of what I'd eat growing up or when I was in HK. There is not a lot of seating but the wait times are not terrible if you come around 11AM on a Sunday. I recently came with a few of my friends and the service was quick as usual. I got combo F which had a bit of rice noodles and 2 mini shumais in their peanut sauce. It came with a cup of hot coffee/tea but you can always upgrade. Their coffees and teas aren't sweetened (I think?) so you can add sugar to your liking :) Overall, I recommend this for a quick and easy breakfast catchup with friends. read more

If you're craving that unmistakable flavor of a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳), High Five Restaurant in Bensonhurst hits every nostalgic note--and then some. I came for the breakfast set, which at $8.25 is an absolute steal. I ordered the satay beef noodle soup, and it came with two perfectly fried eggs, a thick slice of toast, and a cup of silky, strong Hong Kong-style milk tea. It's the kind of meal that makes you want to linger and at this price, you absolutely should. We couldn't resist diving into some à la carte dishes too. The stuffed trio fried green pepper, eggplant, and tofu was crisp on the outside and savory inside, generously packed with fish paste. The fried chicken wings were textbook Hong Kong-style: golden, thin-skinned, and incredibly juicy. One standout was the curry tripe, fish balls, and pork skin combo, bursting with that signature street food flavor: fragrant curry, bouncy fish balls, and melt-in-your-mouth pork skin. We also ordered the imitation shark fin soup, served with a side of red vinegar for that authentic old-school touch. The baked rice with chicken cutlet and cheese was another crowd-pleaser. Rich, gooey, and comforting, it's the kind of dish that fills you up in the best way possible. We ended the meal with a refreshing red bean ice milk, and for a moment, I felt like I was back in a corner cafe in Kowloon. And finally, the French toast. Buttery, fried to perfection, and drizzled with condensed milk. A sweet, nostalgic finish to a meal that truly delivers the taste of Hong Kong. read more

I miss Cha Chaan Teng (HK style cafe) in Hong Kong, so whenever I'm in a highly populated Chinese community/city, I searched for this type of food. High Five is a fantastic place to grab a quick Hong Kong style breakfast for super cheap. The breakfast set is $6.75, including a hot drink until 11:30 am. EVERY DAY! We got Set B, which came with instant noodle soup with satay beef, scrambled eggs, and bread with butter. The satay beef is nicely seasoned, and instant noodles are cooked to perfect texture. Did I mention that the service is quick? We got our food within 5 minutes. If you're always in a rush or don't have much time in the morning, this is your place. We also tried their HK street style fish shumai (my fav) and curry fish balls. These dishes reminded me of my childhood living in Hong Kong, and both taste amazing. To end the meal with something sweet, you got to try the French Toast (with peanut butter inside) drizzled with condensed milk. It's already cut up in bite-sized squares for easy consumption. As for the drinks, the iced tea with lemon is on point! If you know me, I'm very picky with my tea. It has a noticeable English tea taste, fresh sliced lemon, and just enough sweetness. My husband had the milk tea, and he loved it. High Five is a hidden gem in Brooklyn! read more

We came here after a company picnic for a quick lunch. Daughter has been wanting to go to Cha Chan Tangs and we decided to come here after reading the reviews. The place was pretty full but they temporarily squeezed us into a table for 2 and moved us to a bigger table when it was available. We got here after 12, so the breakfast sets were no longer available. Daughter ordered from the Set Meal & Hot Drink category and got "C"-Three toppings with a noodle choice, which was Rice Vermicelli with Shredded Pork & Preserved Vegetables and a fried egg. She also opted for Cold Lemon Tea with no sugar. It was her first time eating this and she liked it a lot. Daughter also liked the cold lemon tea, as well. I also ordered from the same category and got "F"-Beef Tomato Macaroni Soup and added a fried egg for an extra $2. I also got hot coffee. Everything was good. Coffee was ok but not as strong or thick as I usually get at these places. Lastly, Hubs got B3- Baked Rice with Pork Cutlet, Tomato Sauce and Cheese. He picked white rice over fried rice and spaghetti. This took a little bit to make but it eventually came out. Hub thought it was ok. Service was quick and friendly. Place was pretty cute looking and clean. Will return when in the area to try other items on the menu. read more

High Five 囍筷 - Set Meal (B ) Fried Chicken, Fried Pork Cutlet, Fried Chicken Wings, Satay Beef B - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have traveled to HK many times & the foods they make here is quite authentic & comparable to the HK cha chaan tangs. We came here on a Sunday & it was so busy! We waited about 45 minutes. They serve their bkfast menu (before 11:30am) & after 11:30am they serve from their lunch/dinner menu. We ended up missing the bkfast time & ate from their lunch/dinner menu. We ordered to share: 1) french toast, 2) combo A, 3) combo B, 4) combo C, 5) three stuffed treasures appetizer French toast - it was quite delicious! I like how they cut the french toast into cubes so that each bite had so much flavors! I would reorder this. Combo A (we chose macaroni, roast pork, ham omelet with toast & butter, and hk milk tea). The noodle was al dente & the soup was light. The roast pork & ham omelet was standard. The butter on the toast was good. The hk milk tea was good - you add your own sugar (sugar is on the table). Combo B (we chose Satay Beef on Instant noodle, 2 fried eggs and toast w butter & an iced HK lemonade). The satay beef was excellent - well seasoned and tasted delicious! The instant noodle was ok. Soup was standard. The fried eggs standard. The butter on the toast was enjoyable. Loved the iced HK lemonade (comparable to the ones in HK). Combo C (we chose vermicelli noodle with shredded pork & preserved vegs, fried egg, hot HK milk tea). The vermicelli noodles were al dente, soft and delicious. Love the shredded pork & vegetables! The soup was very light tasting. Hot HK milk tea was good. Three sfuffed treasures (stuffed green peppers, eggplant & tofu) - this item was delicious. There was 6 small pieces (2 each) in this appetizer. Cute decor. Comfortable seating. Loved the HK movie showing on the TV. I felt like I was at a HK cha chan tang (diner). Staff was also very friendly and nice. Foods also came out fast. read more

A true HK style cha chan tang on 86 street! Came here for the breakfast sets for only 6.75 that end at 11:30am and was excited to see that they added lunch sets for those who cant wake up early enough for the breakfast sets (AKA me). I ordered the satay beef instant noodle set an opted to pay an extra dollar for thick toast. The HK style milk tea that came it was strong and unsweetened. I strongly advise sweetening it up because the creaminess and tea flavor comes through even stronger. Tip is optional, but service is still provided with eatlery, suggestions, and with serving. In true HK fashion, wait staff were friendly but also slightly aggressive. I wish they added a bo lo bao with a slab of butter to their menu, but given that they're new - maybe that'll be an item down the line. Dishes are simple, but most certainly hit the spot. Aesthetics are clean and catchy as well. read more

Really can't beat High Five for its HK Breakfast Set value for $7.25. A run to a nearby Chinese bakery will cost me almost as much for breakfast, but it would be less filling and not as tasty. The breakfast C set is really good with the pork & preserved mustard green rice noodle soup, egg sandwich, and hot drink of choice. The noodle soup is generously portioned and the soup is flavorful. I love the egg sandwich here - the toast is perfectly buttered and the scrambled eggs are fluffy. The hot drink is the same size as a small coffee/tea from the bakery, but you can get HK milk tea! High Five also has a really good imitation shark fin soup for $3.50. It's well seasoned, has a good amount of toppings, and doesn't come out like hot goop. Service is super fast during breakfast. It's a bit nostalgic of real HK cafes, where they get you in and out during the breakfast rush. But the staff is actually quite nice if you chat with them. read more

HK style cafe in Bensonhurst 86st area. Place is pretty modern and clean. The seating can be a bit tight though. Food is relatively cheap and can have a decent breakfast here for under $10-15. The service is standard but could be more attentive. Their peanut butter French toast is good. Imitation shark fin soup is okay, but I've had better. Their macaroni breakfast combo is subpar but it's cheap. The baked cheese rice is pretty worth the price. read more

I had been following on instagram for months. It's a cute cozy place to dine in. The food comes out pretty quick. I love that it was quite peaceful. However, the waitress has asked if we were ready to order twice and we responded this is the first time here. I don't have any Hong Kong cafe where I live. I might dine there again. read more

If you understand Cantonese, you'll find it quite interesting how the staff interacts with each other, discussing personal matters as if there are no customers around. It was quite unexpected. They're rough around the edges and lack a welcoming demeanor. The food is mediocre and the ambiance is rushed and noisy, making it an uncomfortable place for a relaxing meal. read more
