M Star Cafe

M Star Cafe - Review - Chinatown - New York - The Infatuation

"Breakfast is the move at this old-school, Hong Kong-style cafe on Division Street in Chinatown. They’re open until 6pm with everything from dim sum and congee to instant noodles, but get there before 11am to grab a breakfast set for $7.75. Each one comes with two or three solid breakfast staples, served on paper plates, and a milk tea or coffee. It can get crowded during peak hours, but it’s well worth it to squeeze into the first stray seat you find. The walls are covered in drawings of Hong Kong celebrity caricatures, old photographs, and hand-written specials on colored construction paper, the chairs are neon green, and the menus live under a thick layer of plastic on the tables. Food Rundown Breakfast Special C Our go-to breakfast order. This comes with a salty macaroni and ham soup, and buttered toast." - Neha Talreja
