Very reasonable price and friendly service. If you are looking for Hong Kong style café, this is it. Very good breakfast menu and the spaghetti is so good!

Breads are fresh and delicious. What really standout to me is their roast pork bun and iced milk tea. If you’re not a big fan of sugary drinks, just ask for less sugar in your iced milk tea. However, if you don’t speak Chinese like me, ordering may be a little difficult depending on which lady serves you. Decent customer service but awesome food and drinks. Oh yeah, they also carry lunch foods, the menu is in the back. Will be back soon.

It is a good place to grab a quick sweet fix. Th employees are nice and prices are on par with the area. Their selection of sweets are very good and my favorite is the strawberry cake slice.

Great food at inexpensive prices! The pastries/breads and food here are tasty and so is the coffee or milk tea. Whenever I’m in, there’s never a crazy line(although I might go at non peak times), so that’s a plus. I always like stopping in whenever I’m in Flushing.

My go to place for custard bun over taipan and fay da. Unlike other bakeries, their custard bun actually has a good amount of custard! It’s only $ 1 for a huge bun.

I use to love this bakery. But lately it hasnt been so good. They have really good peanut butter toast with condensed milk, egg with ham, egg with spam, pineapple bun with roast pork in the inside, garlic bread, sponge cake, noodles with soy sauce and peanut butter and their teas are good too. Lately, their tea taste a little funny, i think they changed their tea brand. Also sometimes they put mayo and lettuce in the spam and egg, or spam and ham sandwich, which sometimes is a little weird. I ask them not to put these two items. In addition, they also went up in price. They raise the prices on some of the items and sometimes I dont think it worth it. I would buy their bread products but probably not their teas. I think tea is easy to make, it basically, tea with sugar and milk, or tea with lemon and sugar, or tea with honey, but I seem them mess it up. It depends on who makes it, sometimes it would be really sweet, sometimes not too sweet. I would say go for the food and not the drinks that they make.

I am really on the fence about this place. I’d really rate it a 2.5 star kind of place and that was mostly over the two different components to a good asian bakery. 1) the bread products 2) the tea. This place failed on the tea and seemed to have decent bread products here. I ordered a iced lemon tea and a spam and egg sandwich. The tea was a bit off, I could not tell if it was over steeped or if they added ice to it while the tea was still too hot, maybe in the end it was just sitting in a jug for way too long. The spam and egg sandwich. The bread was fluffy and soft, with a slather of mayo and lettuce to compliment and give texture to the sandwich. It was well done. a little lite on the eggs, but still good. If this place’s evening crew could get the tea part of the equation to a good asian bakery, I would happily revisit, until then, they will not see me back for a while.

Hurray! I spent my last week in Flushing, NY and found this bakery. This is where I developed my love for Snapples. Wow… this is where I found the banana snapple too! Food is good, but the actual bakery is run-down and messy. Nevertheless, the food is AWESOME and CHEAP!

It is what it is for Flushing. Personally I prefer the other bakeries in the area. Last time I was in there, picked up some bakery item that I thought was .70 cents. Well, the price underneath the item said seventy cents. The cashier charged me $ 1.25. ‘Enuff said.

Great food, friendly service, great prices. But be warned — most of the staff does not speak English and it is very hard to order over the phone unless you speak Chinese. Also the bakery is not that appealing — but love the food.

Monday, December 27, 2010. Day after Snowmageddon. It’s fortunate that this day happened to have been a company holiday for me, so I would not have to leave my apartment. I got out of bed from the last day of my Christmas weekend slumber and headed to the bathroom. I turned on the lights and guess what happened? The light bulbs in the bathroom blew out. Let me tell you, it’s always a special adventure to stand over the urinal in the dark trying to piss into it. But it was not nearly as much fun as I remembered it since I was doing it sober this time around. As much as I am a dirty hobo, there are lines that I would not cross, and so unfortunately I would have to leave the apartment after all. Off to brave the cutting winter wind to go buy some light bulbs. And since I was going out anyway, I went to grab some lunch as well. The streets of Flushing were faring not much better this day than they were the day before during the snow fall. The aftermath of Snowmageddon was evident from the cars still stuck in the snow, as many residents laboured in the chilling cold to dig them out. Of all the days to be indecisive about where I wanted to eat, it had to be today, but you have to admit, there are many options to choose from in Flushing. Eventually I decided on Tong Hai Tung as I remembered that I liked it the last time I was there and I had wanted to go back. From the street level, Tong Hai Tung is a simple Chinese bakery, but perhaps unbeknownst to many passerbys, it has a second floor where customers can actually sit down and order dishes. This dining area has a huge and beautiful fish tank and as a former aquarium enthusiast, I could tell it was a labour of love to maintain. The wall to the side of the restaurant is all glass, from which customers can people watch from the second floor while they eat. I settled down in one of the tables right next to the window so I can watch the cars and people outside navigate the snowy streets. Tong Hai Tung’s menu features mostly Hong Kong-style café food. I knew I had to have a HK-style milk tea, and I also wanted some simple toast with butter. I almost ordered the beef brisket over rice for the main event of lunch, but I eat beef brisket a lot so I chose the diced chicken curry over rice dish instead. I was not aware of this when I ordered it, but the curry chicken dish came with a simple bowl of seaweed and egg soup. It tasted kind of plain but with a bit of saltiness. The milk tea and the toast came out while I was having the soup. Again, both very simple items. The milk tea was given to me in a paper cup for some reason, I’m guessing they got it from downstairs in the bakery. I’m not sure what kind of butter they use, but buttered toast in HK-style cafes always taste a little more greasy and satisfying than buttered toast I make for myself or at other cafes, and Tong Hai Tung’s buttered toast was no exception. After finishing this toast, the diced chicken curry over rice was served. The curry in this dish was dry, in that it wasn’t a dish with curry sauce. It was more akin to the curry in Singapore fried rice, where the ingredients of the dish were cooked in yellow curry powder. The rice was lightly fried together with the diced chicken, and the chicken meat was tender but perhaps a little dry. There was just enough curry flavour to make it savoury but not exactly spicy. Tong Hai Tung is at a nice location where people can sit down and enjoy some food after walking around the neighbourhood, and I love the big window from where you can people watch on the second floor. But ultimately the food isn’t really anything above average compared to what Flushing has to offer.

I have been there twice and it was ok. The food is decent and the portions are perfect for me. I loved the baked curry chicken over rice I ordered. The roti was a little oily but still good. The upstairs waiter service area is not big. A very casual place for dinner. Service was ok. We had to constantly ask for refill of tea. I am used to having a teapot on the table. Poor guppies. When they first open, there were TONS of guppies in the tank. After my second visit, not as much.

I love getting food here. It’s cheap, and it’s yummy. They have two locations, one on the same block as the library, and the other location on the opposite street facing the library. This time around, I was at the latter. They have a great seating area upstairs with waiter service. I had the chicken curry with rice and a pineapple bun with butter. The chicken curry is always good, and one of the best Chinese chicken curries I’ve had in Flushing. The pineapple bun doesn’t actually have pineapple in it(it’s called that due to the pattern), but a hot piping bun with ice cold butter is an old-fashioned HK staple. Definitely a great place for some cheap eats.

This bakery is located smack between the library and the post office. The pastries are decently priced, but I personally like Tai Pan bakery better. The bubble tea is delcious though! They use a different type of taipioca pearl, so the pearls are a tad smaller and definitely alittle sweeter! The workers there are friendly, but beware to non-chinese speakers– they don’t speak too much english. I’m sure the point and order method would work though. I only come here for the bubble-tea :)
