My aunt likes this place, she bought 7 orders. The pork, and fresh shrimp is probably the best, but so is an 'off menu item', cilantro cheung fun, love it. The beef, chicken, and dried shrimp, not my favorite(Not for me). Don't add peanut sauce, it just muddles the flavors, making it, less enjoyable. Sadly to say this was the last full meal, she ever got to eat.

Cash only! Cantonese har cheong fun (fresh shrimp) is one of my favorite foods, and this cart does a delicious take of Cantonese style cheong fun rolls. Their prices are cheap and the system is very efficient. This place has been getting more popular so the line can get long but it moves quickly. They speak Cantonese and English so don't be scared away if you're not Chinese! The only qualm I have is that there's no where nearby to eat. I wanted the rolls while they were hot and ended up wandering awkwardly and trying to eat while walking. Seeing as this is a food card there's nothing they can do about this, but I suggest coming up with a game plan to eat your food once you order.

Really tasty and great value, always opt to add the egg! Probably one of the best chasiu amongst all the cheongfun stalls in Chinatown. The skin is on the thicker side (Cantonese style) , similar to the dimsum parlours vs. The thin and silky kind (Taiwanese).The lady owner is super thoughtful and kind.

The rice rolls are a perfect chewy texture, shrimps cooked perfectly, and the sauce poured on top is savory and not sweet like some places. Worth the wait!

For the price, this can’t be beat. Portions are generous and they are freshly made. Definitely a must have when in Chinatown.

Si vous aimez la nourriture asiatique et que vous êtes dans le Chinatown, je vous conseille fortement de venir goûter à ce délicieux rouleau de nouille de riz fait sur place et super rapide. Simple, subtile et très savoureux! Le prix est vraiment pas cher. Pour une petite portion à partir de 1$50 et grande portion à partir de 3$. La petite portion est déjà bien suffisante. Je vous conseille absolument ?

I do not gatekeep, and I write this review so more people can get fresh made Cheong Fun right from the cart / kitchen, in an omakase style, than anywhere else they can get in Chinatown.Tip: Don't trust the location on Google Maps. For obvious reasons cart is movable, check around the corner and look for a metal cart and long lines.
When I say the cheong fun was HOT, I mean it was STEAMING! As someone who loves their food piping hot, I absolutely loved that the cold air made the cheong fun even more delicious. My friends and I came at the tail end of their "closing hours" and I say that in quote because it doesn't look like it closed exactly when they said they would, which could be a good thing for those of you running late and trying to make the last call. There were plenty of toppings to choose from but honestly I just kept it plain and simple with the shrimp. I've also tried the cheong fun with the egg, but I prefer it more simple. I'm not sure I was the HUGEST fan of it though because the texture wasn't what I was used to, it more so like a mochi texture. Though I would say, if you're on the go and looking for a relatively affordable option, this is the way to go!

A little thick, a little heavy, doughy warm rice paper rolls to fill you up. It's obviously nothing elegant but for $3 you pay what you ask for - a filling comforting dish that gets the common man through the day. It is good for what it is. Personally, I'd use the $3 on something else for my day but this was well worth it. Also, fresh shrimp is $6 but you can taste the juicy shrimp bites, so I'd say it's worth it as well. If you love cheap food to go, this cart is worth visiting.

The weather in New York was getting cold at the end of November, so I woke up and wanted to have a hot breakfast. I happened to be staying at Fidi this time and it took about 20 minutes to walk there. When I arrived, there was only one minute left before closing time. Fortunately, the aunt’s warm greeting convinced me to buy it!The rice rolls are freshly made. It is recommended to buy small portions. You can try several flavors. Today I had pork and beef with eggs. You can also add coriander and chili. I think the seasoning is quite good. One portion with eggs is 2.25. Yuan, perfect for a cold morning, very delicious!I am a girl, so I can eat 2 bowls of small portions, which is just right.

Okay love!! The only complaints I have are that it was a pretty long wait and there was a significant language barrier to the extent that I don't really know what I ordered LOL. This is a cute cart selling rice rolls for dirt cheap - I had the char siu small size for $2.50. Prices vary from $1.50-$3 for smalls and double that for large sizes. I was impressed with the portion for the small and honestly wouldn't have wanted any more. I loved the slightly spicy sauce that came on it and was pleasantly surprised with the portion of meat. It's hard to complain about anything when it comes to street food this cheap but I do wish they had a smoother or faster ordering process as I'm not sure when I'll be able to carve out time from my day to go back. Overall a great stop in Chinatown. If you have the time to kill and some cash on hand you should def go.
