JJ Hong Kong Cafe

Large portions, fast delivery, delicious hibachi chicken. Their dinner special with included coffee or tea is great for being at the office at 8pm and it being 0 degrees out. Highly recommended. 5/7/2013 - UPDATE: Still love you JJ!

Kyoza were good, lightly pan fried. The chicken satay lunch special was really gross. As far as I know, satay means it should be on a stick. I thought it would be chicken satay with a side of rice. It was actually disgusting slimy chinese takeout-type chicken, flavorless and pale in a cheap sauce which was nothing like the peanut sauce you'd normally expect. How this qualifies as satay I have no idea. I took two bites and threw it away. On a brighter note, the delivery guy was maybe the happiest and nicest one in NYC.

First time ordering from here. I didn't check to see where the restaurant is located before ordering. The food was ok, but the delivery man screamed at me as soon as I opened the door for living "too far." They should not set the delivery zone that big if the delivery man is going to freak out. Will absolutely not order from here again.

Sushi is not their strong suit.

I've ordered here a few time, but I have to say I love the bubble tea here. I get the almond milk tea on ice ... awesome. This is not sweet at all. I haven't gotten a ton of other items, but what I have had pretty much is in line with other places that I've gone to.

This is a Hong Kong style Cha chan tang food, so they give you exactly that, and it is almost not chinese food, it is an adaptation and fusion between Chinese and "western" food. This type of food may not appeal to people who didn't grow up with it, nevertheless, they are authentic and I really appreciate the chance of getting this kind of food in midtown without travelling to China town. Personally, I think their French Toast beats any french toast from any diners or 5 star restaurants/hotels around here. Portion is very good for the price they charge, my favourite is the portuguese sauce dishes. And again, you won't find that in portugal, but thats not the point.

I love ordering here-- to be clear, this place is a Hong Kong style diner... ala HK comfort food, not your typical Chinese place. If this is what you're craving, go for it. For all you HKers seeking cha chan ting food-- their HK milk tea is pretty decent, ask for less sugar, the curry fish balls and french toast are definately great (greasy on the FT, yes, but like i said, cha chan ting). I haven't tried everything, but those two have stood out

I gave it a stars instead of one because the food is somewhat ok compared to other chinese restaurants in midtown area. BUt this is also hit or a miss because the flavor is not consistent. The worst thing about this restaurant is that estimated delivery time was 20 to 35 minutes and its been 1 hour and 30 minutes and still have not received it. I called twice to check on the order and 1st phone call was after 1 hour. the lady said they are on the way. Then I called 2nd time after waiting another 30 mins and she said they left 10 or 15mins ago!!! I will probably only order from here when I am not hungry and am in the mood for bubble tea. But the food is definitely not worth the wait of almost 2 hours!!!

miso soup was good, but the "hibachi" is hardly hibachi. Sauce is not really tasty, lots of rice. Got the veggie option- it had huge chunks of tofu. Wouldnt try this place again.

Tried this place based on high ratings on seamless web but this place is not good. Deliver was late. There is lots of carbs, either rice or noodles but the meat items are not good. Fried pork chop is dry and coated in a very sweet and heavy batter-pork chop is almost burnt or jerky'ed under the heavy outside batter coating. The drinks are better but the need a leak proof container system if they want to deliver the drinks to customers. The yogurt drinks seem to have almost not yogurt in them or they mixed up my order and gave a me a slushy instead. Overall not very good.

the shrimp shumai are amazing, best i ever had, so addictive. I also ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi and that was a HUGE portion of chicken, shrimp and veggies. The only negative is the rice wasn't what im used to. I will definitely order again!!!!!
