This Hong Kong style fast food restaurant opened a few months ago in Chinatown, and got really popular from social media. I wanted to know if it was worth the hype!

I love the décor inside Mabu Cafe with the mahjong tables, neon signs, Hong Kong movie posters and movies playing on the tv screen. 🤩 The Gong Sik Nai Cha (Hong Kong Milk Tea) looks good, and it's perfectly paired with the Signature Eel and Scramble Eggs on Rice. 😋 Aww, the Bunny Milk Pudding Desserts look too cute to be eaten! 🐇 12:20 The restroom fridge door is too funny! 😂 I love how they decorated the restroom with pictures of famous Hong Kong actors, actresses, & singers from the 80s/90s, nostalgic! 😍 12:40 That sign is funny, and I had to Google translate to get the gist of the message - "温馨提示禁止打罵老板長得好看也不行" "Friendly reminder: fighting with the boss is not allowed, even if you're good looking." 🤣 Thank you for sharing this fun review, AK! 🤗

Those eggs look delicious, love the tables and the dessert! When I lived in NYC back in the '80's I used to go to a great Chinese restaurant at 17 Doyer Street, called Yun Luck Rice Shoppe. They used to have a map on their business card to go from Mott to Pell to Doyer because it was a little hard to find. The address where you are is 18 Doyer Street, Yun Luck must have been across the street.

Back in the 80s, Asian food was sort of taboo for many non Asians so many non Asians mostly stuck with Americanized Chinese food like fried rice, etc…,Unless maybe if an American married an Asian woman he would eat it

So, is this a new or old restaurant? The sign says 2011, but everything looks new? Or is it a reopening?

After your recent Asian journeys, $17.99, that's shocking! get it? Eel, shocking :) at least electric ones, haha. Definitely an awesome dessert! Cute and delicious. They should make inedible nonfood ones to take home for decoration. interesting bathroom! tunnels are cool, too, a lot of history to that building

$17.99 includes the milk tea. I would probably only eat half and take the rest home.

@barrygomberg2524 19 күн бұрын

@@jungdonna Milk tea alone now costs anywhere from $ 5.99 to $ 8.99 a drink. So $ 17.99 is not outrageous with food including the milk tea.

If you’re on a budget, I think the cheapest Asian restaurant food is at the takeout Chinese joints in run down neighborhoods where there’s a bulletproof glass at the counter like in Washington D.C.
