Mushroom and chicken boxed rice - lots of chicken bone shards and too little pieces of Chinese sausage slices. Mixed rice noodle with fish ball - the fish ball option was something I requested for over the phone when they notified me one item that I ordered ran out. The fish ball was really tiny and on the harder side. Really not good quality fish balls. The rice noodle was not silky and smooth. The sauce was the worst part. Not enough sauce and too watered down. The flavors that's usually in the sauce were very subtle. Pork floss cheese loaf bread - the slices of bread were thick and fluffy so I was impressed. The pork floss cheese could be better. Not enough pork floss. Sounded better on paper Steamed Custard bun - it was a big bun so I excitedly ripped it apart but I found some weird charcoal color particles in the custard filling when I did that. Not sure what it was but in case it's a dead insect ripped apart, I threw out the whole bun Ham and cheese bun - just ok. I've had better at other bakeries. But again quite impressed with how fluffy the bread was Cha Siu bun - too oily on the exterior

It was my first time ordering via Uber Eats from this bakery. It could be that it was kind of late…read morein the afternoon, they did not have the fried noodles, so they replaced it with fried rice. The person that called me was very nice when they let me know about the replacement. The fried rice tasted hard. The curry fishballs tasted too watery, and they need more rice in the claypot rice dishes. We enjoyed the dumplings, the tea eggs, and the rice noodles. I've been in this bakery in the past - it's always very bright and airy. We will call in earlier next time.

Sweet Star Bakery is my go to spot for egg tarts in Brooklyn. It's actually hard to find good ones…read morethese days, especially with the Portuguese egg tart scene taking over, but these hit the spot. Staff is usually fast and friendly so it's a quick in and out, and a few times I've come late in the day for rice rolls and they've made a fresh one for me if I'm willing to wait. They have a good variety of buns and dim sum, plus some homemade specialty items like put jai go and zhong zi. I like their pineapple buns, the custard one is always sold out by the afternoon so I'll get the red bean bun instead. They also mentioned they can do cake orders with a few hours notice if they're not too busy. I haven't tried their drinks yet since I'm always there for the baked goods. There's two tables inside and they're almost always taken by local seniors enjoying their tea time. Super convenient spot right by the 18th Ave D train to grab a drink or bite.

I went mainly for the rice noodle rolls, but they were not fresh and they did not have much left. They did not have much flavor too, so I was quite disappointed as I was craving for rice noodle rolls. As for the pastries, there were close to none left that I didn't purchase any. For those who don't know Chinese, it may be a little difficult ordering from here as they mainly speak Chinese.

I decided that if enough locals come here to keep this place in business, they must be doing something right. I randomly ordered a rice noodle with shrimp and one with beef, and each were $2, so pricing alone is worth the visit. The woman behind the counter was patient with me, since I didn't speak the language. Nice enough, the patron in front of me, must have translated to her what I wanted, since she gave out an "oh oh!" so I thought that was really nice of him. The noodle rolls were just as good as sitting at a table for dim sum with family and friends. I was really pleased and will have to come here early enough on a Sunday and bring this home to hubby. I actually drove this into work with me, and it handled pretty well for the 1 hour drive in. Generous size pieces of shrimp throughout, and the beef was soft and tender. Like most of these bakeries, they have some REALLY great items, but you're gonna have to work through the menu to figure out what they are.

They'll put out all they have left over on a table by the front and everything's 2 for a $1. I liked their hot dog buns a lot (the ones with four slices embedded in the bun). Their pineapple buns are okay. They also have the type with red bean inside. They also have a wide selection of drinks and cooked food, but I didn't have either. Good to have options, I suppose.

I've always wanted to try this place because a friend recommended their signature Liao Liao rice…read moreroll, and the store looked cute. I liked how thin the rice rolls were, but they weren't as soft as I expected; they had a slightly grainy texture that I'm not a fan of. I would give it another try since I might have had a bad batch. I usually like salted fish and meat patty on rice, but I would not order it again from here. It might just be a preference issue because I'm used to the meat and fish being combined in the patty, rather than two sticks of fish on top of the pork patty. The Taro Bubble Milk Tea was too sweet for me, but I liked the taro taste.

Combo meals are still available, buns a plenty... however the prices have increased a bit (I mean who didn't bump up their prices??! Inflation is like insane!). Their baos are all still pretty solid... wish they would add more variety... to cater to more flavors. Variety of noodles and dim sum, HK style eats and rice dishes. Seatings are pretty much the same... cleaner and brighter! Service is a hot mess on some days and smooth on others... it's a 50/50 toss up. The ladies said it's bc of the new system they had to learn to use and it's slow... guessing that system is to track their sales... Their HK Milktea is still pretty good but steep at $4! Probably the most pricey in this area... where as across the street, I can get a darn good one (if not better) for $2.75... I feel like their quality isn't consistent when it comes to their drinks tho... had a regular milk tea and it was all water & milk... then the ice lemon tea... had contamination of scallion flavors all over the lemon...

The rice noodles are pretty good and it comes in a big box for around $4 depending on what you get. I brought 3 boxes of pork, eggs, and parsley and my total was about $12. They also have kaya buns. The rice noodles are soft in texture and they give small amounts of ground pork. They are freshly made. The wait is long. I called ahead and when I went there it was still not ready.

The staff members spoke Mandarin and English, and were friendly and receptive, offering wheat tea or water when you sit down. They also asked if we had any allergies after ordering, which is a nice sensitive touch. The menu itself is very adorable and they have quite a wide range of selections, such as sandwiches, pastas, salads, rice and buckwheat noodle bowls, desserts and drinks. I only ordered the sandwich so I can't say much about anything else. For the sandwich, it looked aesthetically pleasing and cute. However the filling was a bit on the lower end and disproportionally spread (as evident in the photo), where some bites were more satisfying than others; they can definitely add more filling and spread it out more evenly, which is a very easy fix that I know they're definitely capable of. I also found the dressing to be on the sweeter side which I didn't enjoy too much, but that's just a personal preference. Overall, FaFa Room has a lot of potential and I am excited to come back to try their many other selections. Although the sandwich was a bit of a letdown, it's a simple fix that I hope they'll take into consideration in improving. Definitely worth giving a shot! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:
