    Chairs that have seen better days. No capital improvement any time soon.

    This cafe always have decently priced Cantonese food. You order at the counter and then find a seat. The is no waiter service. Many of the rice dishes are still just under $6. There are you're baked breads and buns. There are cold and hot drinks. Late in the afternoon the standard group of people stay gathering after work to chat and drink coffee. The place is very rundown. Restroom is not that clean with broken knot. Handdryer that don't work and no towels. Toilet seat is broken. So enjoy the food on styrofoam plates and hope you don't need a restroom.

    Tong's cafe cheap late lunch

    Looking for cheap inexpensive Cantonese food in the Main Street Flushing area? Tong's Cafe is where you can catch a quick meal morning, noon or night. Nothing fancy. You order your food by he counter and pay for it and walk your tray over to one of the available tables. It's spacious at Tong's. There are not a lot of places in Flushing for Cantonese food but this quickly became a place for me. It's super inexpensive and not fussy. And there is a ginormous fish tank in the wall. I like watching brightly colored fishes. The decor, just dont look. The chairs are torn up and falling apart. The bathroom, avoid it. Euw. The food is surprisingly decent though! I would come back. The flavors are correct, Very old fashioned Cantonese. FYI, no gratuity needed here because there is no table service.

    Haven't been to the Shack in a number of years. Not a fan of their burgers as they are…read moremicroscopically thin and usually nuke them. They don't compare to a great restaurant burger, so I save having a burger for those types of places. My JETBLUE flight is now delayed 5 hours, and Shake Shack is next to my gate... now's the time! I have to say it was a good choice. The place was packed, the order line was long, and people were standing everywhere waiting for their orders. The manager was doing a great job keeping people organized and helped to keep everything going smoothly. After ordering 2 Chicken Sandwiches and an iced tea, I thought it would take 30 minutes to prepare. Surprisingly, just 7 minutes. The Chicken Sandwich was great. Meaty chicken cutlet, liked the roll, sauce, and pickles. The iced tea was full-bodied and delicious.

    Shake Shack draws me in now and then. It's a once in a while treat and while waiting for my flight…read moreto Florida I saw this location and immediately had the craving for a shack burger and crinkle cut fries. Pricing and quality was consistent with other locations of this chain which was nice to see there wasn't an increase due to airport price gouging. There was a bit of a line but the wait wasn't too long and the food came out quickly. There is seating here but not a lot so you might have to wait or find another seat to dine at by your gate.
