Avis sur Kowloon Cafe Brooklyn
So good! So many of these Hong Kong places popping up but this one is very authentic, great variety menu and great prices. Staff is also wonderful, bartender gave my daughter a handmade horse, so kind. Will be back soon!
After reading a couple of reviews I was hesitant but honestly the food was great. Wings are a must. I got the baked spaguetti with chicken. Portions are good and the garlic sauce is great! Price is not expensive and the service is quick.
This is a very low-key Hong Kong Cafe, though the interior is definitely aged. The food however is great, prices are super affordable, can grab some classic dishes that really hit the spot. Try out the bitter melon with beef over rice, that definitely soothes the soul and gives you major Chinese street cred. On a more serious note, it's a very simple spot to just grab a bite at though definitely not a date spot.
[SEP 2023] Still doesn’t disappoint. Love the breakfast combos. [Jan 2020] Pretty full venue on a weekend around 11a. Came here multiple times earlier this year because the food is so good!! Service was good and food came out quick! [COVID-19] The venue closed in March and it took a while for it to open back up. Glad to see it’s open again. No outdoor dining—not enough space and so much noise pollution from the D train station. Order for take out ^—-^ [FOOD] The wonton noodle soup is delicious! It comes pretty close to my fave place in Chinatown (Noodle Village). The dish is so large that I took the leftovers home. I also got the Club Sandwich Special because they had a nice photo on the wall and I was staring at it. It might look simple, but it was very yummy. The bread is toasty, just the right amount of mayo, nothing falls apart... [DRINK] HK milk tea here is 💯
I rarely leave Google reviews but I loved this place so much that I feel have to. I haven't come here in MANY years and I finally came here again for the first time last week and honestly I'm blown away by what I've been missing out on. Amazing food - so far we've tried the baked portuguese chicken, shrimp wonton lo mein, fried fish with cream corn, curry fish balls, kowloon toast and sweet and sour pork - everything was a HIT. I love both their hong kong style milk tea and their coffee w. milk tea that I tried. Hoping to try more menu items soon! Honestly, if you're on the fence about going here, just go! We were looking for good cantonese food and were planning to go to a different place originally but I wasn't feeling the other place and so suggested trying this one instead on a whim and it was the best decision!
Stereotypical Hong Kong style place with reasonable prices in today’s economy. Place is decent sized but packs quickly during lunch and dinner service. We ordered: 1) chicken gizzard- decent but lacking flavor and chewy. I’ve had better 2) fried chicken skin- not bad oily 3) Kowloon fried rice- very good and kind of spicy 4) stir string beans- decent 5) peanut butter toast with condense milk- okay 6) pork belly with preserved veggies- really good and done well 7) Chinese cheng fan assortment- nice and bouncy noodles 8) beef and egg chow fun- good “wok hei” on the noodles and good flavor. Best dish 9) oyster pancake- oyster didn’t taste fresh and pancake could have been cooked longer 10) sautéed eggplant garlic sauce- flavorful and not too salty 11) Portuguese chicken spaghetti- second best dish with authentic flavor Will definitely stop by again to try out the rest of the menu. The servers were typical HK waiters- so don’t expect exceptional customer service just above being rude- but it’s understandable.
Good Hong Kong style Cabinets food. Plenty of seating even on a Saturday night. I was a little sad they were out of flat rice noodles (chow Fun) so we got to stir fried tofu and vegetable with vermicelli rice noodle (mai fun). I got excellent, especially when paired with bitter melon with black bean sauce. Waiters were excellent, kept checking on us with hot tea. I had to run down the back to buy a beer cuz they don't have a license. Food paired nicely with a Modelo Especial.
Came here with my friends for lunch, and we had a good time. Pretty tasty baked porkchop with tomato sauce (on the more sweeter side). Great portions, perfect for family style with friends to try a bit of everything. The sizzling steak platter was delicious and comes with broccoli and fries. The bread with condensed milk was a bit sad, though 😕 just toasted burger buns with drizzled condensed milk. Great HK breakfast at a very good price.
We have been eating in this cafe very often before the pandemic, but now it is much better. It is less crowded than before pandemic time. I like the fact that they use plastic shields to separate each group. Food quality was good and food portion was big. Lots of Authentic HK style dishes. The waiters are more attentive and prompt compared to the past.
I was really expecting my usual Hong Kong authentic cafe (茶餐廳/Cha Chang Tang) but it was a bit disappointing. The afternoon tea set was reasonably priced with a drink - red bean ice drink (it’s included in one of the set and you can’t change it to other drinks). I ordered the chicken leg w fries and red bean ice. The chicken leg was huge but the meat quality was not what I was looking for. I would rather choose a smaller leg with nice dark meat than a large one. The red bean was too milky without much red bean taste. The satay beef noodle was soso. The beef was cut too thick and we normally don’t add green leaves (gai lan) on top but I guess it’s a local American style to add veg. The taste is half way there, but I wish the sauce and beef can improve. The Portuguese chicken was ok. I just feel like the cheese was somehow different and perhaps too much.
To determine if a restaurant is good, try their beef chow fun, it should be dry, charred and not oily, what I received was not the case, and total opposite, disappointing meal. It’s busy bc they do have a lot of variety where it can cater to the entire family from young to old, one would find something form the menu, price is fair overall. Didn’t like the lighting and the changing light above the tables though, from blue to purple during the whole time, outdated. Had the salt and pepper squid as well, it was fresh so that was a plus.
Some food was okay like the wings, and the fried noodles. The wontons were bad, they had a weird taste to them. The milk tea was way too sweet. The hot tea was basically just water. The worst part was the service. We left the restaurant already and were chased for more tip even though we already gave a tip. When ordering they asked what type of sause we wanted for a dish but the menu did not list them and he just expected us to know what they had. Been to a few casual Hong Kong style cafes in nyc and this is so far the worst.
Disappointed to detect the taste of borax in the meat—it’s clear a strong chemical was used for tenderization. The onion sauce was an odd mix of mystery flavors, resembling meat sauce or gravy with some onions thrown in. The pasta was plain, just hard-boiled with no seasoning. The atmosphere inside was chaotic and loud, filled with teenagers looking for a cheap, filling meal, and families with young children—lots of crying in the background. If you’re someone with little to no standards for food, this might be your spot to get full for the day. The meal itself was average at best, likely below average. Tho the Hong Kong style milk tea was done pretty well. On a positive note, the boss was welcoming, and the staff were decent. They seemed to be students just working for a paycheck and a free meal.
