I was absolutely starving and this place saved me! The prices are very affordable and the portions match those prices. I got a medium fish ball rice roll bowl (oyster sauce flavor). I got all the sauces on it, per recommendation of the cashier.
Spicy, sweet, and savory all at once. I’m usually not a fan of fish balls but these swayed me.
As a native New Yorker I am weary of viral restaurants but this one is WORTH THE HYPE. I forgot to take a before picture but...read full review

Chang Lai is a cozy and clean place with a small dine-in area of 4 chairs, and food comes in a plastic container that's easy to eat from elsewhere. The owner is a vibe—super sweet, friendly, and very helpful, walking tourists through the menu and making great recommendations without making anyone feel unknowledable. The food is delicious and fast. Must-try items include rice noodles with mixed sauce (peanut, soy, hot, and oyster sauce) and rice rolls with shrimp or pork, which are an absolute delight. The plain curry rice rolls are really good and comforting in cold weather, with a well-seasoned broth. The oyster sauce fish balls and curried fish balls are amazing, as is the HK style milk tea. They do take card but with a fee.
