Best Hong Kong style paper wrapped sponge cake in an unfiltered, hole-in-the-wall shop in Chinatown Manhattan. Yes, I think there is a newer location close by but this one is authentically "historical". Who needs new paint and decor when the sponge cake is honestly this good. Great poster arts :) Personally, I only go for the sponge cake here.

Delicious historical Chinatown institution that’s been around for 50+ years! Famous for their sponge cakes, you must try all the flavors. Rice rolls are yummy ?

Drinks were gorgeous I have yet to have drinks with such pretty garnish on top.The location is great. It’s in Chinatown, so we stopped there in the middle of exploring.

the sponge cake is my favorite light snack when running errands in Chinatown (Vietnamese iced coffee is a decent addition) -- and the plain sponge cake has been $1 since forever.they did get rid of the 5 for $6 special since the pandemic.if your first glance into the space makes you think you're looking into a bodega with a few tables, you're in the right spot. head straight in toward the cashier!

The lady at the front is sweet and I went there when not a lot of people are in.Got their lemon sponge cakes, fried dumpling, and sesame ball. The sponge cake really took it away. It took it home to refrigerate it for the next day and it was STILL GOOD. So fluffy and soft. Would come here again.

The sponge cake is what's their famous for, but the drinks are so so.

Love the sponge cakes. Have bought them two weekends in a row. The original, green tea and black sesame flavours are the best!

The sponge cakes are out of this world. The green tea is the best.

You can find fancier places to grab breakfast in Chinatown but you won't find a tastier sponge cake anywhere in the USA! Ham King has sponge cakes that are so delicious, it is worth the detour no matter where you are in NYC. And they are less than $1 each! Eat one there and take a dozen to go for your friends!
