Kissena Cafe used to be a Tea Shop 168 but now they sell Hong Kong style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is not your usual Chinese bakery because they no longer sell the $1-$2 bakery bread and pastry items. They sell a lot of HK fast food specialties like spam and egg over rice, milk tea, macaroni and soup, and congee. I wold suggest ordering what's on the menu but without any replacements because there are surcharges (for ex. $1 for a slice of cheese. Everything is pretty much pre-made and they just heat it up. The egg sandwiches are made to order though so it is a good breakfast item. read more

Cuisine: 6 Service: 5 Decor: 5 Value: 7 Overall: 6 This shop is reliable for a quick bite of Hong Kong style cafe food. Nothing special or bad, just average to slightly above average. Prices are good though. One of their more talked about items on social media is the Corn Beef and Egg Sandwich. Honestly, too mushy and not my thing. This is not a destination spot, but having it as a neighborhood snack shop is pretty convenient. read more

Kissena Cafe - Corn Beef and Egg Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Flushing, New York

Came here for a classic Hong Kong style breakfast, ordered the combo b - came with two eggs, buttered toast and a choice of meat, I got spam of course. It was good, sort of that "you didn't have time to make at home, but you could've made at home" type breakfast. The interior was darker than expected but one turn off was that there were flies that joined us for breakfast as well... overall ambiance, 1 out of 5. Your classic moody Asian lady at the cashier, can't ask for better service than what you get. read more

Ate here today for brunch by myself while working as a temporary substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 163 Q. I had brought only brought and ate Combo B that comes with 2 eggs, butter toast, slices of ham and side of tea milk that it had tasted pretty good and simple. The service there was also attentive and fast. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time. read more

It's a great local cha cha tan (Hong Kong style tea house) for all your cafe cravings. Decent wonton noodles and braised brisket noodles. Their coffe or coffee/tea is wonderful in the morning. Go to would be the spam egg sandwich but any of the noodle dishes work well as you can pick on the type of noodle you want. wonton, rice, flat noodles. Another go to is their rice congee with chicken or fish. Very satisfying. read more

My favorite hong kong style spot locally. It looks a bit dark inside, but the food is amazing. Also, for quick hong kong style bites, I am looking for quick order with high quality food, not necessary for a fancy dine-in experience. Also, price is not too bad here. Their hong kong style milk tea is authentic as well. My favorite is their baked porkchop rice and egg & spam sandwich (toasted)! Service is as good as it gets for a hong kong style spot. read more

I actually stumbled upon this spot when I was looking for something else around the area. Forgot my glasses so couldn't read the menu and sort of panic ordered. Yes! Who orders beef & tomato over rice and french toast!? I'M SORRY! but it was good! had the Toast first and was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Definitely done right! The beef & tomato was meh. But would definitely come back and try other things! read more

There's an arrangement in this cafe that after 5 pm each day (except Thurs), someone uses the premise to sell Cantonese wonton noodle. The wontons are super sized and fresh, one of the best ones I have in Flushing. However the service is terrible. I went there on a hot weather day and asked for a cup of tap water. The staff asked the owner and she said no. Is there how a customer she be treated? read more

Awesome spot for a quick, cheap HK styled breakfast. We ordered the set menus and everything came out quickly. This is definitely a spot down memory lane. Also, they have the best homemade spicy chili oil sauce on the table. It was so good I had to buy one from the sweet lady -- $4.50 for a bottle. read more

This place is a hole in the wall and you get exactly you would expect of a place like this. I have gotten the satay instant noodles which are adequate. Hot and flavorful! I come here for my HK milk tea fix as well which is a life saver. I especially recommend the Pork Chop Bun I get it everytime. read more

You don't see a lot of traditional HK breakfast/Lunch spot in NYC. I am from HongKong myself and it takes me back to my childhood. The vibe, the breakfast set, everything seems on point. Try their Corn Beef Sandwich! Its the bomb. I usually order breakfast set and the sandwich for a quick bite. Authentic cheap Hk cafe food. Staffs are friendly and flexible with orders = HongKong people spirit. read more

The food is okay considering there aren't many traditional Hong Kong style food around. I always call to order. The guy (I think is the owner?) is always nice but the lady's phone manner is horrible. She has zero phone manners and is always rude and hangs up so fast; didn't even repeat my order to confirm. read more

This spot deserves more hype. I got the satay beef macaroni and it was SO flavorful! The spam and egg toast was exactly how I imagined it to taste lol the prices here are also so affordable read more

Wow is this place good! Convenient and right off the highway. A nice little place to stop and get some bubble tea and fresh baked goods. Came here on the way to the airport, Had an egg&cheese sandwich. The crust was cut off just like when I was younger, Nice & fresh and pipping hot! Had peach bubble tea. Of course it was delicious. The bubbles were by far the best I have ever had. Perfectly chewy and squishy. Also took some baked goods on the go. A croissant and a coconut bun. Both fresh and tasty. Also this place doesn't make a dent in your wallet. With all that I ate plus 2 more drinks, another egg sandwich, and 4 more baked goods it came to around 18 dollars. Totally worth it ! I will be back :) read more

I usually get the rice noodle and congee combo which I believe is only $5. It's definitely filling, yummy, and worth the price. It's in a convenient spot and perfect for breakfast. I also enjoy their hot milk tea and toast with condensed milk or even the honey cake when I'm in a hurry. For drinks, I always get the HK style milk tea my all time favorite. I've also tried the rose milk tea which was pretty good too! The staff is super quick and efficient, perfect when on the go, which I usually am when ordering from here. Only annoying thing is that it's cash only but that's like most Chinese restaurants/cafes. Overall pretty good! read more

Ordered beef with fried udon, beef stir fried flat noodle, bake chicken with spaghetti on tomato source and satay beef with instant noodle. Service was quick, food tasted good with fair potion from the price. The only complaint that I had was the lady who works in there not friendly at all, feels like she doesn't want to work there. I will go back for other dishes later. read more

I went with a friend who is from Hong Kong and recently came to MY. She said her ramen soup was a 3.5 star. The ramen was more like instant ramen rather than fresh ramen. Their macaroni soup was ok. The Hi Tea Cafe in bayside is way better. Their toast with condense milk and peanut butter was ok. The bread was nothing special. The customer service was in the rude side. They are very curt and they like to rush you read more

Kind of icky all around. Yes, it was convenient off of the highway, but the "smoothies" are all made with flavored sugar powder. The place was dirty, the seating was very limited, the buns were not fresh. I had a decent cup of hot tea and other folks seemed to be enjoying their food, but I would head to the next exit if you are looking for a bubble tea pit stop. read more

Decent food, very cheap (package ramen, macaroni, rice dishes) so you get what you pay for. The people here work very fast to get you your food because they're used to serving people who are in the middle of catching a bus. They sell vitasoy and drinks here that mostly Cantonese/Hong Kongers are familiar with. It's no HK cha chan tang, but the owner is sure nice and hardworking enough to bring something like it to my neighborhood. read more

Kissena Café is a nice family business that provides quality fresh food and baked goods at a decent price. The food is fairly inexpensive. I had the congee and chow mai fun for $3.25 for breakfast and it tasted good enough that I would return. read more

Passion fruit bubble tea with lychee! Yum. Cash only. But do not go too early. I went a few times 30 mins after they open and the boba wasn't ready. Kinda disappointed as I can't wait too long because I have to go to work. read more

teeny shop on kissena, typical chinese tea/bakery. their egg sandwich is slightly more than other places ringing in at 2.25 for a toasted egg and cheese but it is worth it! (see picture.) their milk tea (hot) is not strong enough but it is pretty piping hot. parking is the same as on main street/horace harding tea shops: quarter for 15 min if you can find it. CASH ONLY!!!! read more

the service is sooooo bad, and the food is not fresh at all, I got a diarrhea after I finish the meal on there I will never go back again. Sooo bad！ read more

The people here are very polite and the will custom your order if it's within their ability. I love their beef udon. And their homemade chili oil is delicious. If you like your milk tea strong, this is where you will find it. They have a small selection of baked goods for people on the run. Their combos for the morning time is very filling. I normally have enough for lunch too. Love this place! read more

I bought a mango slush and asked for bubbles. Bubbles seems frozen. I don't recommend getting bubble tea or slush here if you want fresh bubbles read more

Great food and customer service is excellent. The milk tea is extremely good. Also try the instant noodles with either satay beef or curry beef! read more

Perfect cheap eats in Queens! Their pan fried beef udon is really good! Baked ham and chicken in cream sauce over rice is my favorite. Breakfast combos (combo A-D) are only $4.75 which includes a drink. Very traditional Hong Kong style cafe! Fast and good! Fresh sandwiches are made within 2 mins! Perfect spot if ur in a rush and don't want to spend more then $10 for anything. Most importantly for under $10 your stomach will love you lol read more

Kissena Cafe is an amazing, and I strongly recommend it. The entire place has a great vibe. I could hardly decided what to order, but I am so happy that I had Coconut Bun, it was absolutely fantastic. I have only terrific memories here. Kissena Cafe, so glad you're here. read more

Have literally lived in this neighborhood for many years and they have tried to scam me multiple times. I live close by and the few times (around 10-15 times) I've come, most of the time they've just been nasty! Once, I ordered the spam and egg macaroni combo, they gave me the correct order. The person that took my order forgot or said something in Cantonese and one of the men working there took my milk tea away. I said "I got the combo" which comes with the milk tea. He screamed at me saying "no you cannot have it"...???? I was in a rush with my younger sister so I didn't want it to escalate. Another time, I ordered 1 spam and egg macaroni and another spam and egg ramen, they misheard me and gave me two spam and egg ramen. I didn't want to waste they're time and effort so I told them they didn't have to redo it. I figured it might've been a language barrier. The women screamed at me and said that I was wrong and that I clearly said two orders of ramen. On their menu at this time, the spam and egg macaroni costs $4.25 and has been for a while now, but today I went and ordered the same thing and they charged me $5.25. I asked if they made a mistake, they insisted that the egg costs an extra dollar. I am not complaining about the costs, but they are very inconsistent with prices. If you do not speak Cantonese they are EXTREMELY RUDE to you and will try to SCAM you. This is just a place with the worst staff possible. You'd think they would change after all this time but their service is still HORRIBLE. I'm also not someone to really complain or start an argument but I will bring it up when something bothers me after tolerating it several times. read more

DONT GO HERE!!! Terrible customer service. Owner charged us for a cup of ice with my drink and didn't allow us to charge the laptop. No one was there except us. VERY RUDE LADY! read more

No bubble tea until 1030 a.m so sad but I had the passion fruit with ice crush Yum!! Will be back for my passion fruit bubble tea!

Very good egg and ham sandwich. Add $0.50 to have it toasted. Also recommend the mango ice crush with mango star jelly. Decent and affordable meal!! This is a typical Hong Kong style cafe. Breakfast combo is $4 each that includes drinks. read more

This place is really good. Staff is friendly (except for the lady with glasses; I assume she's the owner. She's very rude.) I've come here a few times and she never smiles, never says thank you, and isn't friendly. Overall this place has really good food. I suggest the egg and cheese sandwich. They also have really good passion fruit green tea, it almost tastes as good as the ones from cocos and Kung fu. The egg and cheese sandwich and passion fruit green tea are $5 total. Food is served fast. Place is very clean: I always see them cleaning when I come! read more

I bought a coconut cake there were mold on it. It must have been there for at least a week. I would never go back.

The four star is for the young lady that makes my drink honey lemon water..the congee is good also extra egg.. Everything else is so so..I used to come here for the rice dishes sandwiches but they be getting cheap with meat .. I don't mind paying .50 cents to toast my bread or 75 cents for cheese to be added I just ask for it to taste good. Which it doesn't because lack of meat.. The drinks are good tho read more

I have been there many times. Their service is very satisfying and their food is delicious and truly hong kong style. The drinks quench my thirst. I am grateful that there is such a good restaurant near me and their breakfast meals are also good. read more
