probably very good but ordered congee and they hungup before i could tell them 2nd congee, called again asking for plain congee and they said there is no plain as the congee is already cooking with pork in it.... welp, had to cancel the beef congee initially ordered but apparently thats the secret bomb with stupid people handling food that whats good for them is good for everyone.

Had some wonderful dumplings before my bus. Fast service, very cheap, and I was very glad to see that they accept certain payment apps.

Carol’s Bun totally hits the spot when you’re craving something warm and satisfying. The soup dumplings are a standout — thin wrappers, rich broth, and so flavorful. The pan-fried buns have that perfect golden crust, and the noodles are chewy and comforting. Everything feels fresh and made with care. It’s a small, low-key place with big flavor — one of those hidden gems you’ll definitely come back to. 🥟🔥🍜

What an absolute hidden gem. It's been tough finding reasonably priced takeouts of anythig since the pandemic, and Carol's Bun is refreshingly reasonable with prices. Their food is full of wok hei! Their frozen dumplings (for cooking them at home) are awesome and I loved my 乾炒牛河. They even included a bun for my order whcih I'm so appreciative of 💕
If you want an authentic Chinese / Cantonese takeout joint, this is it. Feels just like home!

A very low frills but incredible taste. Pork was very flavorful and juicy. Rice was just a touch undercooked but loved it

Delicious lunch box express 👍👍
For $9.00 you get 3 cuisine selections over rice. It’s a very simple & flavorful meal.
The food is freshest during lunch hours as it comes out from the kitchen and is kept warm over steamed containers.
It’s a good variety that will satisfy any palate. Ranging from chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, fish, and wonderful vegetables.
I really like the curry chicken with 2 sides of veggies. The cooking reminds me a bit of grandmas. 🙏🏻
UPDATE: keep going back and it remains consistently good and varied by day. I like to eat outside at the cafe table in front for the 'hardcore' experience. :-)

This is a no-frills, hole in the wall takeout spot where you can get a whole combination rice platter and a soup for under $10. The place is called Carol’s Bun, but don’t let the name fool you because they actually sell a variety of traditional Cantonese style dishes for a great value. We got a box of tomato and eggs, pork belly, and a radish tripe beef combination over rice.
For their $9 lunch combo, you can choose either rice w/ 3 items or noodles w/ 2 items. The dishes rotate daily, and this is a great place to eat at if you want a variety of food for a low price. The food is fresh, hot, quick, and will for sure leave you with a full stomach!
(139 E Broadway, New York, NY 10002) Open Thurs-Tues 9am-7pm (closed Wed)
