Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe. Just north of Chinatown, technically. And cash only if you order on the spot.

I feel like Dumpling Cafe is the only right answer to this question

The health inspector can tell you stories about that place that would make you cross the street when passing it.. but yes, it is cheap.

Chinatown Cafe for takeout since the late 90s. And Hong Kong Eatery.

Quality has went down tremendously though. To the point where my mom and I don’t order from there anymore.

Very expensive too

Yup. Cash only and expensive. Half a roast duck was $17 the other day with my pops who insisted on ordering from there. It’s nothing like the original owners.

Since the change of ownership, HK Eatery has gone down hill big time, food and service. Historic photos of old HK replaced by TV. After the closing of two other BBQ stores (Beach Street, and next to HLM), HK's BBQ prices sky rocketed.

Empire Garden it was originally built in 1903 as the Globe Theater and had vaudeville shows, and last showed Hong Kong action movies, now serves great dim sum and American Chinese food. Was Empire Garden a Porn Palace?

1.5 years into Covid it was decided we would renovate the office. It's still not ready and I have not been to Chinatown since Feb 2020.
