We were absolutely starving, coming out late at night from a concert at Radio City Music Hall, and…read morethis was one of the few spots nearby that was still open. I had heard about The Halal Guys for years but somehow never had the privilege of trying it, mostly because this cart is usually packed. We walked straight up and, to our surprise, it was fairly empty-- clearly our lucky night. We ordered the chicken sandwich with everything and the beef platter with yellow rice, and OMG... it was incredible! These guys are clearly commanding the halal food scene, and after finally trying it, I completely understand the hype. The food was flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what we needed at that moment. There's something about eating a great late-night meal straight from NYC food cart that just hits differently. I will say, my sandwich was VERY spicy. And i love spicy food, but this was another level haha... My entire mouth was on fire. The funny part? I literally could not stop eating it. It was that good. Sometimes the simplest food, at exactly the right time, becomes the most memorable. This was definitely one of those moments. Now I get the hype!

I have worked at 6th/50th st for over 25 years and the Halal Guys location near 53rd and 6th is a…read moreshort walk. I have eaten here at least 200 times over those 25 years. I don't go as much as I use to, as the price has more than doubled since 2017/18. However, that has nothing to do with my rating. My problem is that meats have gone downhill. I used to love gyro meat - never sure what it was exactly lamb or beef - but now it is just gross and greasy. The chicken which used to be excellent is now very dry. The white sauce is great and the rice is fine, but that is it. Not worth getting anymore. Maybe one of their competitors is better, can't really be worse.

Despite LIC being the newest Chinatown in the city, there are remarkably few breakfast options from…read morethe Orient. Cantonese staples like Cheong fun appear confined to the older enclaves in the city like Elmhurst and Manhattan's Chinatown. That leaves Corgi Jianbing as the lone option for an early bird in Court Square. These are perhaps not life changing pancakes, and I always prefer Taiwanese Dan-bings with their lighter crust. But they're pretty decent, with a nice bit of crunch, a solid sweet hoisin sauce, and a healthy portion of scallion and eggs.

I was the second person in line, and the food came out pretty quick. The jianbing is still amazing. I love to get just the basic one and add spicy.

I used to frequent Mr. Khao Man Gai before the pandemic, when I lived nearby. Stopped by this week, and I'm relieved they're still around. Place your order at the truck window, then get in line if you're asked to. The kitchen cooks orders in the order received. By the time you get to the front of the line, your order should be ready. The lunch line can sometimes be long, but don't fret. They're an efficient operation, and it's worth the wait. Decent portion, and you can nosh on your winnings in the plaza that's right there. Plenty of tables and spots to sit. Pay with cash or apps like Venmo.

As a result, the cart lost my business that night, as they will any night that I see that particular guy on duty.

Little food truck right across the street from Spot Dessert Bar. You can't miss it! Will be back if I'm in the craving for some Chinese street food.

But their skewers are 1. delicious 2. affordable and 3. fast to prepare. What more can you want? We got two lamb skewers with medium spiciness for $4, $2 each. Delicious. Had a decadent Cumin coating and the meats were given piping hot off the grill. Would love to come back to try their other skewers. Not surprisingly, they also accept WeChat pay, for those who forget to bring cash with them. *pro-tip - follow them on wechat so you know when they will show up. Guarantee you won't regret it.

Little street cart that serves the softest cheong fun ever! I got off the plane from LA and…read moreimmediately rushed myself over to this little cart. I've heard so many great things about the cheong fun here and how cheap it is. I was recommended to go earlier in the day since they leave early or whenever they're sold out. Considering it's street food, take the cleanliness to your liking. My family and I got 5 different bowls and the total came out to $18 which is NOT bad at all. They offer soy sauce, peanut sauce, and/or chili sauce. Definitely only get the soy sauce for the protein options and peanut sauce + soy sauce for the plain one! Take it from me, my dad ordered all three sauces in all of our bowls and it was too much flavor mixing together in your mouth. Food: Plain Cheong Fun (8.4/10): The silkiest, softest cheong fun I've put in my mouth. You must eat this right away. This is not a take-home option because it will clump up together. Take it from me, I made the mistake of bringing this back on a 15 minute subway ride. Although I had to wait to enjoy, it was still delicious. Dried Shrimp Cheong Fun (7.6/10): I love a good dried shrimp and green onion cheong fun but this one didn't really hit the spot for me. I wish there was dried shrimp within the cheong fun. I maybe got a few pieces within each bite but those bites were still delicious.

Cash only! I wanted…read moreto try the Cheong Fun Cart for a long time, but never got the chance to during my other New York trips! This time I found the opportunity and am glad I can say I've been now! Its literally a small cart on the corner of the street intersection. There was a line formed and so we just followed suit. No place to sit to eat, so just be mindful of that - especially since the containers they give you the food in can be super hot! We ordered one fresh shrimp rice roll, and waited about 10 minutes for our food to come out. It is PIPING hot so it was hard to hold and eat, but we managed. The first few bites were delicious and the rice roll was super silky. However I felt like since it was shoved inside the plastic container, the rice roll keeps cooking in its own heat, and thus got overly goopy. Still, I enjoyed the cheap snack on the street, but have definitely had better long-standing rice rolls in NY.
