"Kong Sihk Tong in Flushing is a big, pastel-and-neon wonderland of Hong Kong-style food. It’s perfect for a casual breakfast or lunch when you want to hang out for a while without spending a ton of money. The salted egg yolk lava french toast is our favorite dish on the menu, but the beef satay instant noodle soup is a close second. They also make the best milk tea around. On weekends, expect to wait a while for a table if you don’t get there before 10am. They also have another location in Chinatown that is cash-only." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore
"This Hong Kong-style spot built its own wooden outdoor space complete with string lights, tropical plants, and an awning so you won’t have to eat your condensed milk toast or tomato and beef soup with macaroni while you swelter in the sun. Kong Shik Tong is open for outdoor dining starting at 8am every day. Also important: it’s right next door to Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. Looking for more ways to support businesses in Chinatown? Welcome To Chinatown is raising $200,000 for businesses in the area who have closed or been financially devastated by the crisis. If they meet their goal, the money will be divided up into 40 grants of $5,000 each, which could help with overhead costs like rent, insurance, and utilities as they recover from COVID-19 losses and try to reopen. You can read more about Welcome To Chinatown’s Longevity Project and donate here." - hannah albertine
"Kong Sihk Tong in Flushing is a big, pastel-and-neon wonderland of Hong Kong-style food. The breakfast sets are all under $10, making it perfect for a casual morning meal, or lunch when you want to hang out for a while without spending a ton of money. The salted egg yolk lava french toast is our favorite dish, but the beef satay instant noodle soup is a close second. They also make the best milk tea around.

"Chinatown’s most stylish Hong Kong cafe covers all the bases when it comes to noodle and rice dishes from China’s southeast coast. From the port city of Xiamen comes a delightful stir-fried rice vermicelli rife with ham and other goodies. From Hong Kong itself arrive the steamed rice dishes called bo zai fan, plus British and American adapted snacks that run from condensed milk toast to spaghetti and meatballs. Spam concoctions, and how about a mug of Horlicks to wash everything down?" - Robert Sietsema
"Kong Sihk Tong is a big, bright, pastel-and-neon wonderland in Flushing, with a more contemporary vibe than other cha chaan tengs, or Hong Kong-style cafes, in the area. It's one our favorite casual places for a filling breakfast or a snack, and the prices are super reasonable. For $7, you can get a breakfast set with a hot beverage and a main dish, like spam and eggs, steamed rice rolls, or satay beef swimming in instant noodles. We'd recommend the salted egg yolk french toast: two thick slices of milk bread stuffed with a salted egg yolk lava, dipped in custard, and lightly fried. It goes well with a cup of yuenyueng, a mixture of milk tea and coffee. There's another location in Manhattan’s Chinatown." - Carina Finn
