We got a fresh batch of spongecake. It was delicious. Not too sweet and not too stale. Nothing better than fresh spongecakes. Also it's only 1$ for 1 original spongecake. Try to go here before 2, because that is when they make the cakes fresh. The service was also very good.

It's a no frills hole in a wall. But their sponge cakes are simple and delicious. Family run business that is priced for Chinatown community that is historically poor. I love these guys.

It looks plain, but tastes great!The store is about a 3-minute walk from Canal Street, and there is also an Eaton space inside the store.Most of the customers are Asian (probably Chinese).This time, I purchased plain flavor, black sesame flavor, and red bean flavor. The price is $1 for plain and $1.25 for others.All three types were delicious. It's fluffy like a chiffon cake, not too sweet but still sweet, and soft yet chewy.It's not a gorgeous dessert, but it's an unforgettable dessert.Personally, if I were to buy donuts from another store, I would buy these.There are other flavors I haven't tried yet, so I'll definitely be going back!My favorite shops have increased again.
Nice little place. Can tell the locals come in everyday. The lady at the counter was very nice and helpful in picking which iced coffee to get. She was also so nice to grab a hot sponge cake for us.I ended up getting the Thai iced coffee and a sponge cake. Very good and very fresh.

TLDR: 3rd generation institution that is literally selling sponge cakes for $1!!!Remember the “got a buck, you’re in luck” McDonalds commercials? Well in 2024 this still rings true at Kam Hung where you get original flavor sponge cakes for $1 and $1.25 for flavored ones like matcha and salted caramel. These are tasty and soft cakes for a steal of a price, especially if they come fresh out of the oven!! Forget inflation, there’s sponge cakes for $1.00/$1.25!

One of NYCs true hidden gems. Original Spongecake is my fave. Hubby is very picky and when I brought some home... he ate em up quick lol. Love their sense of humor too??

Solid sponge cakes, the original sponge cake comes out fresh and hot, a little moist for my personal taste, but still good. They also have many other flavors like matcha and pandan. The matcha was nice but the pandan can’t really taste the pandan. The stall next to it sells some weird signage, some of which are a bit offensive based on bad stereotypes…
