This Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng has been crowded since it first opened its doors last year. Modeled after casual Hong Kong cafes, then imported to the U.S. from a successful run in Toronto, the food is both adorable and delicious. The tables are made from mah jong tiles, the noodles are served purposely spilling out of their cups and the Ovaltine condensed milk French toast is an instant classic. Stop by for breakfast or lunch and, if you’re lucky enough to score a table, take a peek at the giant menu and choose what calls to you. Sweet and salty pork and maple syrup French toast? Baked spaghetti? A teddy bear floating in a cup of tea? They’ve got it all.
