    Buy 2 get 1 free, one of the best Portuguese egg tarts in Brooklyn !
    Michelle T.

    One of my to go places for "Po Tat" I fell in love with Joe's beautiful flaky Portuguese egg tart the minute I saw it. As I gazed into the plate full of deliciousness, I immediately asked the people at the bakery for 2. Delighted to hear that when you buy 2, you get 1 free so I ended up with a great deal. Their dim sum is on point too, one of my favorite is their fried shrimp balls that I usually buy 2 dishes. Some may think $4 for 3 shrimp balls is steep but once you take a bite in, you'll think it's all worth it. The shrimp ball is filled with all shrimp and it's tender and juicy. Some other dim sums I recommend are their dumplings, pork ribs, shumai, etc. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

    Portuguese tart! Yes!

    "Pol Tat"... nuff said. The latest bakery addition to an already crowded 18th Avenue block, right off the train station - but Joe's bakery... hands down, best Portuguese Tart! It's so fluffy, the center is not dense at all, super smooth and creamy... and the crust is old school "flakey"! Seriously, it's the only way to have your egg tarts. #getthatcookiecrustouttahere IMHO, I prefer the "pol-tat" here over... Lily Blooms (dare I say...). It's a small cozy space, offering up; get ready: Chinese cold cuts (roast pork, duck, chicken, pig), "bo-jia-fan" clay pot rice, dim sum, and of course bake goods. With a few dine-in tables for patrons eating in. I've only tried their Pol-Tat, white sugar sponge cake, and roast pork. Love the pol-tat and roast pork! But not a fan of their white sugar sponge cake... better version across the street. The ladies are nice, just queue up and order! Don't stand there & wait! You must ask the ladies "please help me get... " otherwise you will get skip!

    Got my dim sum fix without the wait in this Chinese style bakery. The food is pretty good but a hit or miss on their bread items. The char sui steamed buns had a crumbly and dry bread base but their dim sum is on point.

    My fave place to go for quick lunch/dinner on 8th ave. This spot serves authentic authentic…read morecantonese homecooked food. Not restaurant food. I'm talking grandma's-house-in-the-mainland type canto food like bitter melon, pork meat pie, fermented peppers, and braised pig's feet. It's the real deal and it's REAL GOOD. They also serve roast meat (chicken, duck, pork). They don't speak fluent English, so it will help if you know Mandarin/Cantonese OR keep your dialogue to a minimum by following the directions below. I highly recommend getting the combo with rice and 3 sides. To order, go up to the glass window (outside) and gesture that you want your food to-go or to eat-in. I usually get it to-go. The sides are displayed in the pans behind the glass. Choose 3 by pointing. My usual order is a meat pie, preserved peppers, and a vegetable. Then, go inside and pay (about $6.50 per combo). They will ask if you want a free soup...say yes because the soup is filled with MSG and is delicious. I can understand why people would be hesitant to come here due to concern for cleanliness, but all the good restaurants in Chinatown are dirty. I'll take my chances.

    It's $6.50 for 3 options, comes with rice and a soup on the side…read more It's $7 for 4 options, comes with rice and a soup on the side. I got steamed egg, sweet and sour chicken, cauliflower and ong choy. They have seating in the back if you would like to sit their and eat. You do have to order before you can sit in the back though. The staff is nice, they can answer any questions you have for them.

    Finally made it to Uncle Lou, often talked about as one of the best Cantonese spots in Chinatown,…read moreand it definitely lived up to the hype. We went straight for their signature deep fried garlic chicken and decided to share the Peking duck--and both dishes were beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. The chicken, in particular, was crispy, aromatic, and absolutely delicious, though it's worth noting you'll want to be a bit careful as there are quite a few small bones throughout. The Peking duck was equally impressive, cooked perfectly with rich, satisfying taste in every bite. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into both quality and presentation. On top of the food, the staff were adorable and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance felt warm, lively, and comfortable--perfect for a relaxed meal in Chinatown. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with standout dishes and great energy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Lunch while in the vicinity on a Wednesday afternoon for my professional duties. Business cards…read moreand takeout menu are both available for grabs. Uncle Lou is a Cantonese restaurant that also serve Dim Sum dishes. The business name reference Chinese culture of calling adults "uncle" (suk1 suk1, 叔叔) or "auntie" (aa3 ji4, 阿姨) is a polite, common way to show respect, build connection, and bridge generational gaps. It treats non-relatives like family, making strangers feel younger and fostering closeness. The atmospheric decor contains very beautiful Chinese lanterns suspended from the ceiling throughout the restaurant. I believe it is decorated for Lunar New Year throughout the entire year. No comment for facility as I did not utilize. Customer service is average attentive and the staff is fluent in both English and Cantonese. I did not have to wait long to be served nor request the bill, and neither attain change. I often dine alone as a single woman and was regarded with respect for patronizing. It is always good to hear Cantonese spoken as it is mellifluous... at long last to continue this vernacular of Chinese language. I ordered in a mixture of both English and Cantonese. I was promptly seated by the maître d' promptly for a table. Melamine/plastic chopsticks in neon green and ceramic / porcelain china including ceramic Chinese soup spoon are distributed to customers while dine-in. A traditional teapot is also distributed during the duration of meal like large banquet hall Dim Sum restaurants. The large round tables contain a rotating lazy susan in traditional Chinese restaurant standard. Wow. No disposable wooden chopsticks and no disposable bowls for utensils are distributed at Uncle Lou. Price is slightly high, but worth the food quality and customer service. Uncle Lou did surely feed me! Shrimp Wonton noodle soup, Ho fun (flat rice noodles), shrimp based broth, $14.95 The bowl is gargantuan and the six (6) dumplings are good size portion served in ceramic / porcelain china. There are Chinese vegetable of one strand choi sam (choy sum) and scallions. The shrimp Wonton dumplings are a good size and good consistency. The soup broth is solid for flavor and consistency. It was served piping hot as steam was visibly emitting. The soup broth was slightly heavy. The flat rice noodles were sufficient for quantity. Noodle soup is Chinese comfort food and warms the heart. It sustained my hunger pangs throughout the day. Upon arrival the wait staff prominently announce to inform customers of 9% discount for cash payment and a 3% additional surcharge or fees for any credit/debit card payment for situational awareness. I was informant and made fully aware twice: upon entry when seated and upon receiving the bill. Uncle Lou complies with "Prohibition of Cashless Establishments, as of March 21, 2026, all retail and food establishments in New York State, including New York City, must accept in-person cash payments, banning fully cashless stores." (source: Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), Local Law 34 of 2020). Oh! For small amounts of purchases, my default payment method is cash. Yes, cash is still widely accepted in the 21st century. Nota Bene: Have cash on hand to avoid annoying surcharge or fees. The bill is calculated and manually handwritten the old school way still a timeless classic. I paid my bill in cash including gratuity. No comment for Apple Pay or Google Wallet (formerly Android Pay/Google Pay) either acceptance or price differential vs. cash.

    Was hangry trying to figure out dinner. Stumbled onto bonnies which had been on the hit list…read more First off, LOVE them embracing being cantonese american. Simultaneously unironic and ironic decor that makes it feel natural to what they want to accomplish. I got the shrimp wontons. Gotta be honest, they were good, and kinda got worried i made the wrong move. The peanut sauce is nice. Thick consistency with a rich nuttiness. Still enough salt and heat to cut through and not make it feel too rich. The wontons were cooked quite well, perfectly gummy, soft. But, then came MCRIB. My life was altered. I was instantaneously transported to a bbq joint, asian restaurant, and a mcdonalds, oh and even a lovely bakery. This thing is so many things, yet unauthentically 1/1. A FLUFFY bun. Loaded with air lined with the strands of feathers. Char siu pork. Has a crispy, caramelized skinned with the perfect fat content. Rich, chewy, and ya know when ribs like tear away in strands. Oh it does that. Insane. A tangy glaze. Sugary sweet just giving upper cuts to the salt of the pork. It's tangy, and so thick is doesnt even jiggle on that pork. Glued. A mustard with what I can only suggest is wasabi. Ohh, one breath of heat immediately mellowed by the glaze. Onions add a fresh crisp with a sharp acidity. This is one of those sandwiches that you see when you google "sandwiches" To top it off the staff is great. Very rarely do you witness camaraderie as authentic and clean as what i saw at bonnies. Attentive, energetic, compassionate. Just a team full of great people that shared the same love for each other they do for hospitality

We were seated in their covered heated patio area which is lovely and comfortable. I was wary of things being salty but the dishes we got were all perfectly seasoned. We got 6x oysters, and the Shrimp and Walnuts to start. Both were great, the shrimp is unique and a stand out dish. We split the mussels and frites and "McRib" sandwich, and they were also excellent and really tasty. We also tried three drinks, black tea penicillin, Ribena Highball and Henny Kravitz, which I would all recommend. Overall a great meal.
