Good to Know

Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no tables or reservations — you order, step aside, and eat immediately.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who like noodles; no seating and hot food make it less ideal for toddlers.
Best For
Better for: Fresh, ultra-fast cheong fun with classic Chinatown street-cart authenticity.
Skip if: You want seating, variety, or a full meal — choose a cheong fun specialist or sit-down spot instead.
