Kong Sihk Tong

Today was my first time at Kong Sihk Tong, so I really didn’t know what to expect. Given the busy schedule in the evening, we waited about 10-15 minutes prior to getting seated. Keep in mind that this restaurant only takes cash or Venmo, so be prepared in advance. First off, the quantity of food for the price was really good. We ordered the beef chow fun, lemongrass pork chop with rice, and the baked pork with rice. The meat was so juicy and tender and the noodles and rice were so well seasoned and didn’t feel greasy at all! To top it off, we ordered Hong Kong milk tea, and the best compliment you can get from an Asian when you order drinks is “not too sweet”, the tea was so well balanced and refreshing. The food came out really quick too! We waited about 5-7 minutes, and they all came out so fresh. Overall I had an excellent first experience here and would recommend to anyone wanting to try Hong Kong style street food, at an affordable price point. I will definitely be back!

Great HK style cafe in Chinatown a few minutes walk from the Manhattan bridge. We happened on it by chance and were so glad we did. The prices are very reasonable and the food brings warm flavors & truly hits the spot. The golden lava toast and baked spaghetti with pork chop were fantastic—I recommend! The wings with grapefruit sauce were could, but could be skipped (nothing to write home about). It’s clear that they’re efficient (though attentive), so perfect for a stop in and fairly quick meal! Would definitely come again.

Such a delicious spot for HK breakfast & comforting Cantonese dishes! Love the iced yuanyang here - great tea & coffee blend. Service is always so nice & the food just makes me feel at home. Baked pork chop tomato rice is sooo good (lil fattier on the pork, but I like it that way!). Beef chow fun, spaghetti with beef & black pepper, and eggplant with pork and salty fish are also incredible. For a sweet treat, must get the golden lava french toast!

The food is really authentic for Hong Kong style cuisine. I got the satay beef noodle soup, and it was the best I’ve had in America so far. The HK style milk tea was great too, with the way you could adjust the sweetness yourself. The condensed milk with butter toast, as well as the French toast, were amazing too! They serve food fast, and the staff are really helpful!!

I came here to have some milk tea and was surprised by the cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The staff was kind and the golden french toast was delicious. My favorite part was the hot milk tea and the seating towards the back of the restaurant. I would definitely come back here to try their food items! Wait time was not too long, but I arrived with a party of 2 around 5 PM before the dinner rush. We were seated within 5 minutes and it was quiet until around 6 PM when the rush began. (Also, I would not recommend the crispy bun with condensed milk it was just toasted bread with condensed milk on top - But the french toast was nice and I would get it again)

I’ve been back so many times, love this place! Def top 3 best restaurants in Manhattan Chinatown. The line/wait can get long during peak lunch and dinner times, but worth the wait! Pay with cash or Venmo - Golden lava toast: 11/10, best item on the menu. I’m always craving this. Would come here just for this, MUST GET - Chicken wings in grapefruit honey sauce: 11/10, sounds weird, but it’s SO good (underrated). Sweet and savory! MUST GET - Salt & pepper fried squid: 10/10, good flavor and texture - Baked fried rice w/ pork chop and tomato sauce: 10/10, love the sauce flavor. MUST GET - Satay beef & enoki mushroom chow fun ($13.50): 8/10, solid! Would consider getting again bc the beef had great flavor and was tender

Fantastic prices (sub 11 for most things on the menu) with really decent portion sizes and delicious food. They give you small water cups and do a really good job of filling them up consistently - the servers were really efficient and nice, and even turned on a big heater when we said we were cold. Beef chow fun is as good as ones twice its price, but my standout was the baked fried rice/ spaghetti with porkchop. So good! Cash or venmo only

There’s no place in NYC that resembles an authentic Hong Kong cafe as much as Kong Sihk Tong does. I’ve been here a couple times and the food is authentic and consistently so delicious. The lava toast, baked rice/spaghetti dishes, and iced Hong Kong milk tea are must-try’s. It’s ALWAYS worth the wait, and even outside of mealtimes I’ll stop by to get HK milk tea to-go. The menu is super expansive and there’s endless new things to try. Hands down my most favorite spot in Chinatown. The staff here are so kind and attentive, shout out to Simon who was the absolute sweetest, he made our whole evening!
