Chun Hong Kong Cafe: Authentic Hong Kong Flavors in Brooklyn

Came here over the holidays and it was fairly empty on a Thursday night with my family. We ordered scrambled egg and seafood chow fun, baked pork chop rice, Hk style western style fried spaghetti, satay beef noodles, and rice rolls with mixed sauce. They definitely excel in their stir fry dishes as they all came out with a lot of "wok Hei". The scrambled egg seafood chow fun was one of our favorite dish. The noodles were smooth and al dente, the sauce was well balanced without it being too salty and it was loaded with many seafood such as shrimp, scallops and calamari. They were all very big and fresh. Their western style fried spaghetti, although well made technique wise, I felt it was a little too sour to my liking. The salty beef noodle was one of my favorite and it's the flavor was legit like how you would get it if you were in Hong Kong. The peanut butter was very fragrant and I can taste a hint of curry. The amount of beef that was given was also more than what you typically get in other hk style cafes. Unfortunately, they fell short on the baked pork chop rice and the rice rolls. The pork chop rice portion was on the smaller side and although they used a really good piece of meat (versus some places gives you really fatty meat you hardly have anything to eat), it's missing the onions and bell peppers which is needed for the distinct taste in the sauce. The rice rolls were also not steamed long enough so it was a little hard. We also ordered their iced lemon tea and although it's a little too sweet for me (and it's my fault for forgetting to order less sweet), I felt it had a strong tea flavor and one of the best ones I've had in the area including KST and legend cafe. The restaurant has an old Hong Kong vibe, like what the newer hk style cafes are like nowadays. It's clean and spacious including the restroom. The staff were friendly and we didn't feel pressured or rushed but it could be because they weren't busy at that time. I would definitely come back again to try other items on their menu.

love this new addition to the neighborhood, my husband and i come as often as possible. there are other hk cafes in the hood as well but it just doesnt hit like this place does. im forever grateful for restaurants that are able to accommodate babies and strollers. theyre closed on mondays! they also get busy pretty quickly so id recommend coming in at off hours if you can menu is pretty much all the classics and it seems like they really try to keep it as simple as possible which i love because nothing beats simple and classic.

Good new addition to the neighborhood. A more modern decor to the typical HK style cafes around the area. Was able to sample the menu before its grand opening and was really impressed with the flavors. The beef stew noodles were definitely the highlight for me. The beef was well cooked and super tender, best I've had. The curry fish balls had that curry taste and well seasoned. The salt pepper squid was good too. The baked rice casseroles were a good portion size. Only disappointment are the drinks -- coconut jelly drink was a slush but not very flavorful. I would say that the pricing is a bit more expensive than other nearby HK cafes though. Ordered takeout from here few times as well. Friendly staff.

I heard mixed reviews about this place and finally decided it was time for me to test it out. The ambiance is absolutely amazing, with movie posters of iconic Hong Kong actresses and canto pop playing. They had an alluring menu that reminded me of Mabu in Chinatown. The ovaltine french toast is a yummy chocolate- take on an American delight. I got the satay beef pineapple bun. It was pretty flavorful and the spice did kick in. I definitely would come back and recommend coming here with family. Support your local restaurants!

We've been impressed by our first visits to Chun Hong Kong Café (凱哥茶餐廳). Chun has a more focused (smaller) menu than nearby Like Café, but seems to execute better than the latter. Dishes we've had include: - Baked Chicken Cutlet with Spaghetti in Portuguese Sauce 焗葡國雞扒. $12.95; $14.10 with tax. A very good rendition of a chicken cutlet baked with spaghetti, cheese, and an Alfredo sauce. The chicken seems to have been fried before baking, as there is some outer crispness while the meat is juicy and tender. - Hong Kong Style Milk Tea 港式奶茶 (Cold): $5.50; $5.99 with tax. Leans on the sweet side, and could be silkier. - "Singapore Style Stir Fried Vermicelli" 星洲米粉: $11.50; $12.52 with tax. Good -- 4 stars out of 5. Chun's version of Singapore Mei Fun is better than most. For some reason, Singapore Mei Fun in many other restaurants have gone downhill, as either the signature curry flavors of the dish are missing, or the ratio of other ingredients to noodles have dramatically thinned. Chun's version has the right flavors and doesn't skimp on ingredients. - "Dai Pang Style Stir Fried Vermicelli" 大鵬炒米; Tai Pan Style Mei Fun: $12.95; $14.10 with tax. Also better than most, also 4 stars out of 5. The squid and scallops were perfectly cooked. The shrimp were slightly overcooked, and the pickled cabbage seemed to be steamed instead of stir-fried. This dish has a better balance and mix of ingredients than similar offerings from other restaurants. - Baked Chicken Cutlet with Cheese and White Sauce 芝士白汁焗雞扒. $12.95; $14.10 with tax. A little heavier than the Portuguese sauce version. - Baked Seafood with Cheese and Spaghetti 芝士焗海鮮: $18.95; $20.63 with tax. Good, but consider a baked chicken cutlet instead, as seafood doesn't fare as well in a bake, and because they do a great job with the baked chicken cutlets. Other: There is a 5% discount for paying with cash instead of credit / debit card. Suggested tips are based on post-tax subtotals and start at 18%. There is a well-maintained unisex restroom with ADA grab bars.
