I also highly recommend getting the fried shrimp with honey walnuts as an appetizer or the steamed rice rolls with mixed peanut butter sauce.

Very happy to have a Hong Kong style Cha Chan Tang restaurant right here in Edison, NJ. While there are a few places in NYC, its nice to see Jersey finally get one too. The stars if today were the appetizer dishes. The rice noodles with the special peanut sauce was 100% the best and exactly what you'd expect when you order that dish. The squid and popcorn chicken were both amazing and fried lightly but with a great crispy texture. The small pineapple bun with butter was delicious. We actually had it as a starter and again for dessert. While we loved the apps, the baked rice with pork chop and pepper steak rice bowls were just ok. They weren't amazingly flavorful, but they were still tasty with heavy portions so the value was there. We had HK style milk tea and topped off our meal with their special creamy french toast. Overall we left overly full and didn't have to pay too much. Wow Cafe is very affordable and the staff is very friendly and fast to cater to your needs. It may not look like much on the outside, but the food definitely brings me back and hits the spot!

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.

Back to my favorite cha chaan teng in NYC for their $8.25 breakfast set!…read more 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.

My hubby loves canto style scrambled eggs with shrimp over rice. The texture of taste of the shrimp in the egg mixture was perfect.

Love the texture and the salted egg yolk taste of this dish. Ordered the staple lemon ice tea. So refreshing and the sweetness was perfect. Service was fast and attentive and I always loved sitting there surrounded by the HK style booths and wall art. Funny thing is we were testing out the new ai feature in the car, and was told that the cafe accepted only cash or Venmo. I had to ask the cashier while paying if Venmo was truly a form of payment they accepted and he said "yes". Didn't realize that.

I don't know if it's because my taste buds have changed but the food just wasn't as great as I remembered it. That being said, I definitely still enjoyed it. Stating off with what I liked most, the pineapple soda was super refreshing. It was not too sweet and perfectly bubbly with bits of pineapple within. The carbonara was great as well. The noodles were perfectly al dente and I just enjoy creamy noodles to begin with. The curry fishballs are always a staple and the same goes with the steamed rice rolls with mixed peanut sauce. Cannot go wrong with those two appetizers. The sandwich was a little disappointing. I know the items are in the name of the sandwich but it fell really flat and I guess I was expecting a little more. The baked rice was not great either. It took a long time to arrive which we weren't upset about as we were warned when we ordered but for something that took so long, I expected it to be a lot better. Maybe we just ordered the wrong item and should've gotten the baked noodles instead of the rice? Overall the food was okay, the service was good and the restaurant liked very nice and clean. I enjoyed the fact that the menu was under a glass on the table so I was able to keep looking at it too while I was eating to see if there was anything else that looked interesting.

It's easily missed if you don't pay attention. There wasn't much pedestrian traffic either. Business is mainly depends on spread of words from returning customers. Right opposite from the cafe is Jmart Chinese grocery store which is convenient. Cafe closes 6 pm daily. Self service. No tips needed. Service: wait staff was very friendly. Food time was quick. Owners stopped by the table and started conversation. It was karaoke time when we walked in. Food: - their milk tea was highly recommended to us. So four of us tried the hot and cold milk tea and hot milk tea / coffee combo. All of them were very rich in flavor and smooth, exactly what a milk tea should be. $4.75 for a 12 oz hot milk tea is reasonable. - French toast with peanut butter: Love the syrup that it came with. It has a distinct refreshing flavor with delighted sweetness. Definitely different from other syrup from other places which is just pure sweetness. Owner told us the syrup was imported from England. Highly recommended! - turnip, fish ball, rice roll: 3 in one bowl. Portion is enough to share - scallion chicken: It was recommended to me also. It was indeed very tender and flavorful. $24 for half a chicken with one quart of soup. Conclusion: will definitely return. Even just stopping by to pick up a flavorful milk tea which is cheaper than a sugary bubble tea.

It did take about 25 minutes from when I placed the order for the food to be ready for pick up but they seemed pretty busy from the number of take out orders. I got the double triple hungry beast feast which I thought I could easily finish so to double down on my mis-calculation I also ordered the snack combo. I ended up eating about half of the snack combo and a third of the hungry beast feast. The feast comes in a giant container with 5 different menu items that are each delicious on their own but it is great to have options. The feast can easily feed two people and is really worth it. Will definitely patron again and try their other items.

[Project Hong Kong Milk Tea - HK Milk Tea] {Seeking the best…read moreHong Kong Milk Tea in NYC} Grade: 76 of 100 Worth Trying: 80 of 100 This is among one of the best HK Milk Tea I have tried in NYC. It is rich in body and smooth in texture. However, the aroma of the tea was slight covered by the milk choice. Typically, HK milk tea usually comes with evaporated milks or condensed milk by request. Using regular milk will covered the aroma of the tea and pushed the texture to a smoother but lost its taste of the traditional HK Milk Tea favor. This is still good for a regular craving though. I also tried this French Toast with Cream of Mushroom. The French Toast in HK should be paired with Syrup and butter with jam/peanut butter within the toast. This one at Like Cafe was fusion with Cream of Mushroom and cheese inside the toast. It made this devilish afternoon tea item a savory meal itself. It's amazing. I cannot stop saying "CS" (Crazy in Cantonese) after trying the first bite. I recommend to try it with Iced Tea with lemon if you are a small eater.

However for under $10, I think the food is good value. This place is cash only, so make sure you bring some extra cash with you. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're in the area and want some quick food for good value.
