Carnation Restaurant

Our go to place for beef or century egg congee. Wonderful steamed rice rolls, fresh and great texture. Roast pork and chicken are excellent. Really like the staff.

Love their rice roll and their BBQ pork. Very tasty and cheap

The prices are cheaper than any other restaurant out there. Authentic Taishanese taste and the owner speaks a good amount of English The chow mei fun is very yummy 10/10 would recommend lol

Traditional Cantonese cuisine. Food is good, reasonable prices

Good portions and tasty pork and duck rice

Very good roast pig, not salty

"New" Carnation Restaurant. I started going when it was the "original" Carnation Restaurant. What drew me in were the crowds of people, Asian mothers buying the roast meats(pig pork, duck) to serve at home with their dinners, commercial drivers picking up a lunch, neighborhood people in search of a meal... This is a popular, often crowded restaurant with lines of people. It is so worth it!! It's a no-frills restaurant with authentic and affordable dishes, not like so many of the Chinese-American restaurants that add more sugar, salt, oils, and sauces to create unhealthy dishes. The food here is fresh and cooked conscientiously for flavor, not profit. I especially love their roast meats, especially duck and char siu, and I always get their amazing ginger sauce on the side. I love congee, such a comfort food, and they make the best congee, hands down! Believe me theirs is the best, and I've tried many, many places for congee. Also, their rice rolls are made fresh upon order, I always order the shrimp, and again it is the absolute best! You can't even begin to compare their light, fresh rice rolls to the pre-made ones most bakeries serve - it's such a vast diffrence. Finally. As a non -Asian, I get different experiences with service depending where I go, but here, even though it's intimidating with so many Asians speaking their language in this crowded, busy, chaotic restaurant, the customer service is impeccable: friendly, quick, and they are truly delighted I appreciate their cuisine. Nothing but smiles and good will, along with the most wonderful food. Go try their dishes, you'll thank me!

Iin the morning for breakfast, I buy the char Siu wide noodles and sometime the congee. They recently moved about two or three stores down. Now their store are local at a corner and the store is bigger. They have waiter or waitress to serve customers.

Delicious roasted meats. Got a char siu chicken rice and it was great - the best I’ve had in this area so far. Unfortunately the roast pig was sold out when I went so will have to try it next time.

Bustling restaurant with quick order pick up. Crew cranks things out in polite fashion vs the pushy crowds. Lunch orders are reliably savory and super competitively priced. I will stick with the rice and porridge dishes, roast meats were ok, there are other places to get from. They take card too, you cover the fee.

Had the beef Chow Fun and salted fish eggplant chicken over rice. Tasty, generous portions and relatively cheap compared to other Cantonese restaurants on 86th st. Their beef congee and beef rice rolls are also really good. Congee texture on point, good amount of beef and seasoned just right.

They have alot breakfast but that nedd been long line

First time here and it's clean and airy space. Beef chow fun is very good and hot. Its low price compare to $16-$20 at other restaurants. Definitely will come back for other dishes and bbq meat.

Don't order here. Keep increasing their prices & cheap on the ingredients. Not worth it.
