Sun Sai Gai — Restaurant in New York

(Edit) Pro Tips: 1. This is primarily a Cantonese Style BBQ quick meal place. ie: cuts of bbq/ roast meat over rice makes a fast lunch!,…styles/fillings for wonton, rice rolls/noodles, buns etc may be different than where you’re accustomed to. 2. The Roast/BBQ meats (made in main kitchen) with rice/noodles/soup is Not gonna be reheated (soggy) Hot but cut from what you see up front, and plopped over steamed rice/soup/etc. … Canto-style fast food ;] Imagine a construction site, 50+ people have 30 mins to order/pickup/eat Fresh Food! Yah, like that.. in Chinatown 🤪 Other dishes must be made to order- ie: stir fry e-fu noodles,… gravy dishes like the one I had in pic. It’ll take more time~ ranging from 10-15+/- minutes (more if its crowded)… Dim Sum dishes ARE made earlier! Each type is very labor intensive/time consuming!! The steam cubicles many(not all) are in, keep them warm/hot, not burning. Again, a quick yumyum. Come for the FOOD like a local,… not the decorations or so-called atmosphere! (if you Insist on ‘atmosphere’… there are several places…however, the prices are TRIPLE or More~for the added atmosphere etc) Repeat/ reiterating… unless Specified, this is primarily, Cantonese style..quick food. No Hate ~ please educate yourself before judging with mis-information/misconceptions.

Orig post: After grocery/food shopping, stopped by for a quick lunch. Ordered the bitter melon & beef over rice. The melon was al dente perfection, the beef tender with bits of fermented, salty black beans in the sauce…a generous serving with the rice which was Steaming hot! Service was typical for quick Chinatown lunch in such a well established restaurant.. quick, curt, professional. Note: already ate about ⅓ before I thought to post...

Since my early tweeny days, (as in sixth grade and junior high school) I have dined here and I have had takeout here. My grandfather worked on white street very close to Chinatown so when he was working I'd go with my father, my two youngest brothers and my mother would come here for coffee, sponge cakes, roast pork buns, roast pork,, roast duck (my grandfather and father ate duck along with my brother's. I do not in remembrance of my pet duck Henry), chicken, wonyon soup, roast pork egg with oyster sauce over white rice,and way more. When I earned the honor and privilege to take out my very young brother's (almost seventeen. I'm six years older than one, eleven years with my youngest and I am the eldest. Same parents hitting 45 years together here) I would take them here after a billion hours in the arcade, Elizabeth Center/Mall, J&L video games and way, way more. They would get super cranky if they didn't eat, well when they hit their teens and I earned the permission, honor and privilege to have my brotbers bring any of their friends who's parents greenlighted me, as TWEENS AND TEENS. But I love them all and I foot the bill because I always invite. They fell in love with the food and the staff was always super nice to us, as was the owner and cooks. Now it's a nostalgic comfort food for them. Still FANTSSTIC....

Terrible food.

I ordered a dish of Beef over wide flat noodle with special sauce from this restaurant last Sunday. The noodle was not really stirred fired and its color is still white (should be light brown) with no any sauce. I tasted it and it was not hot which it seemed it was not fresh made. The beef was so tough to chew.  After I complained, the waiter gave a bowl of sauce.  I said to him this order was not what we ordered and asked to re-cook it.  The result was still the same and they said it should be like that.  I did have this dish of beef over wide flat noodle with special sauce  from various Chinese restaurants, but I never saw one such like that!!!  They just put the left over beef and vegetable on the top of the noodle and warmed it up by microwave. Sham on them!!! The dish is not economical, $13.75.  I don’t’ want to give them any star if the computer system allows. And of course,

I would not...
