I'm definitely on the fence. It's your typical hole in the wall joint, albeit extremely more authentic than most other places. HIlary P. was craving some of that salted pork and rice, so off four hungry ladies went to a cramped little table in a cramped little seating area. Granted, the table service was pretty good for a place as such; it's home-down, but we got our Styrofoam cups filled with hot tea! We ordered crispy noodles with assorted meats. (Always a surprise, eh?) Those noodles in their brown along were phenomenal! I went for the cheap portion of soy sauce chicken over rice with bean sprouts. You get a HUGE bang for your buck at only $4.50, and it's enough to make two meals out of. However, the duck was cold except for the immediate outside; it was clearly taken out of the fridge and thrown on the griddle for 30 seconds. It was full of bones and mostly fat. I barely picked any meat off of it. The rice and bean sprouts sure were filling through!
Yep. A-OK.
Another Cantonese kitchen that makes the standard Chinese food. Everything was cheap but nothing really stood out. Quick service and a good place to grab lunch if you are in the area.
Officially my favorite restaurant for an afternoon lunch in Chinatown!
The box is deep, the food is fresh, and the staff is pretty nice when you get there. Except for one time, I felt the taro I got wasn't too fresh, but since then after I ordered it a few more times, it's continuously been good. Prices are great too. And the barbecue meats are really savory. Love coming here, just wish it was open on Sundays. But as a fellow churchgoer, I could understand 🙂

Still good! Ordered the three blessings rice and it was PACKED. how can you go wrong when there's quality AND quantity. This place needs to break the 5 star ceiling and go into 6!
The char siu was really fatty.. Flavor was good, should've asked for leaner pieces. Also ordered a beef Lo mein and it was horrible. The meat was nasty and the noodles tasted off. We had to throw it away.
Service is really fast. I didn't dine in the restaurant, looked a bit cramped.
I don't think there will be a second visit.
I stopped giving this place business after finding a roach clinging to my takeout BBQ'ed chicken wings a couple of years ago.
This is sad because prior to that, I really enjoyed their food. It's your typical Cantonese styled hole-in-the-wall restaurant offering different rice and noodle dishes. Wonton soup, young chow fried rice and three treasure rice were some of my personal favorites.
Would I come back? Never. The unsightly memory of the roach kicking its legs while clinging onto the wing itself was scarring and disgusting.
Cheung Wong Kitchen is a little piece of Hong Kong, nestled right on the corner of Allen and Hester in the LES. This no frills Chinatown eatery servers delicious Cantonese soul food on the cheap. I recommend sticking to the basics here such as the BBQ meats over rice dishes including char sui, soy sauce chicken, and/or duck. They serve these dishes with well cooked bean sprouts and a nice heap of tasty ginger scallion sauce. I also was able to try the beef chow fun and they definitely did the dish justice. You easily tell when chow fun is cooked correctly when it has the great smoky flavor that can only be achieved with an ultra hot wok. There was also quite a lot of large pieces of tender beef cooked into the dish. I ordered the wonton soup as well, which was flavor full and had huge meaty wontons. However, overall the wonton soup at HK Wonton Garden still beats out the soup here.
Overall, I can easily recommend Cheung Wong Kitchen to anyone who is looking for a hearty Cantonese meal for cheap. I will be surely returning to get my fix!
Cheap Cheap Cheap, food for college students. You can't beat these prices nowadays. I would not spend $10 on a meal everyday. But food that can cost up to $4 that equals 2 meals!!! I ordered the scrambled egg with roast pork on rice. It is good, flavorful and smells incredibly wonderful. If it fills me up, hey why not? I don't need to spend that extra $$$. You get what you pay for!
