Street Vendors in New York, NY

“Every time I eat here, it takes me back to when I was growing up. They started as a rice roll cart on Grand Street, and they've perfectly preserved that authentic street-cart taste.

The steamed rice rolls with curry fish balls are soft, chewy, and perfectly sauced with hot sauce and extra peanut sauce. Grab an iced Hong Kong milk tea to go with it.

Highly recommend for a true taste of old-school Chinatown!“

“Awesome place but biggest flaw is that they’re not actually open everyday, even if the weather is good. I passed by today at 8pm, weather was perfect and they weren’t there. I wish they had some way of letting people know if they’re not open for whatever reason, even if its just an instagram page of something“

“I went to a lot of restaurants in New York that were much fancier than this cart but this was my favorite food of the day. The cheong fun was gooey and had qq and a decent amount of meat. For $5 for the large, it was such a deal and fed three of us as a snack. I would go back in a heartbeat and order more. Wish we had this in Chinatown in Houston.“

“My girlfriend and I went here on Saturday it was a great experience and we both had a lot of fun. We arrived a little early before our scheduled start. The atmosphere was awesome! We sat at the bar for about a half hour and we each got a drink while we waited for our game to start. My girlfriend had Lime in the Coconut Collins and I had Paradise Love. Both drinks were good. They have a very easy to use coat check too. There are a total of 9 courses and each one is unique making for an exciting game of indoor mini golf! There are also servers who walk around and take your drink order and plentiful of convenient stations to set your drinks on while you play and wait for the party ahead of you.“

“The owner Mohamed was so kind - I accidentally showed up before they opened and he opened the shop early to let me order. I told him I wanted a protein smoothie that didn’t taste like a protein smoothie and he absolutely delivered! I will definitely be back“

“I got to try some unique global flavors at this fair: NOLA crawfish sandwich from Parish Po'Boys and a Raclette melt baguette sandwich from Raclette Street. Both costed about $20 so keep that in mind if you are used to the lower prices at Queen’s Night Market.“

“Let’s put it this way, I get this at 9AM & not only is it super fresh its dam Good ���“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“Always been a fan of halal food carts since they are affordable and filling at the same time. This cart in particular offers a buy 10 get 1 free card/promotion their food is also consistent and well prepared in front of you as well, highly recommended this spot for the best bang for your buck“

“The flavors here keep calling me back whenever I'm nearby. Their menu combines quality and service with sensible pricing. The staff performed exactly as expected at this quality restaurant. They serve just enough for the right cost. Tasty food options, considerate staff, and a nice setting make this restaurant good.“

“Bacang/Zongzi Vendor offers a simple yet authentic taste of traditional Chinese sticky rice dumplings. The bacang are warm, flavorful, and generously filled, making for a comforting and satisfying snack. It’s a humble street-style option that delivers great value and a genuine local experience in NYC.“

“Quick, fresh and efficient street food! The rice noodle rolls and the fish balls were delicious especially drenched in the sauces. It seems to be a local favourite because there were decent amount of customers in and out. I would come back again for this.“

“Every time we come to NYC, Kwik Meal is a must. The food is always warm and taste so good. We typically eat here every night. It’s a great price for the amount of food that you receive.“

“Si estas en NY tienes que ir Comer ponerle todas las salsas y tomarte una foto cool 😎“

“DELICIOUS. The Chacá (maíz craquiao/sweet corn) is really good. I’m from PA and don’t come to NY at all, but anytime I have to cross the GW Bridge for whatever reason, I have to stop by the corner of W. 182nd / St Nicholas in the Bronx ( I think that’s the Bronx). I haven’t tried the habichuelas con dulce, but sometimes they have rice pudding (Arroz con leche) and it is also good. The habichuelas must be really good also because everyone on the line in front of me ordered the habichuelas con dulce. I left from my house in PA at around 9AM when I checked to see what time they open, Google has their hours from noon to 8pm. I arrived to NY at around 10:45AM hoping they were going to be there already, and they were. They were just getting set up and there were also other people waiting to get this delicious sweet treat. I guess they open at 11AM. One thing I didn’t see was their price list. I heard someone getting charged $9 for the big cup and I got charged $10. I’m not sure if that person got the habichuelas or the sweet corn and/or if the habichuelas and the sweet corn have the same price. They should list the prices so some people that are not from the area or don’t go there often think they are getting overcharged. If you pass by the area, stop by and get yourself some Cachá or habichuelas con dulce. By the way, the people selling are very nice and have been on that corner for many years.“

“Love it! I had Lengua, El Pastor, spicy pork, they all tasted great and authentic street tacos! I didn’t care about the service, the lady was kinda delayed serving we even without people waiting. Anyway I was there for the taste and that ain’t changing my desire eating there.“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“Coming to visit my sister from Oregon to NYC and first time ordering from here and oh my god, I am hooked.

I got the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito and the coffee and every bite is so well combined with one another: the potatoes, tomatoes and eggs. Chef's Kiss! And the coffee fills it all the way to the rim. Just amazing“

“My sister and I have been to this place for many years when we go to Chinatown and get these sweet mini cakes (basically 15 delicious balls of dough and sugar in a tray). The shop is a vendor and that every time that both of us went there, there is sometimes a line and that they were busy making the cakes when we got there.“

“The best pozole, tacos, tamales, rice pudding, tacos, quesadillas, Jamaica water and the best horchata in all of New York. We are Puerto Ricans who love Mexican food and this couple gives the best of Mexico in each dish. I highly recommend them if you are in the Dyckman area Wednesday through Sunday.“

“LOVE this stand! The best in NY! Support the vets who fought for our country! The food is fresh and perfect! 👌🏻“

“it was actually one of the best halal I’ve had. I’m not kidding. the cart, Halal Harlem, was established in 2002. the guy working it was a little slow but that’s bc his experienced hands will make your lamb gyro on pita with so much care. be patient and you’ll get the best halal you ever tasted. he didn’t skimp on the meat or veggies. there was onions, tomatoes, and lettuce!! some places give you lettuce and call it a day. He charges fair prices! I love Harlem Halal like I love the M116. with gratitude in my heart and wallet.“

“I sadly didn't get to eat here. I was lost without my phone and a person who worked there helped me, like we were best friends. He handed me his phone so I could write down directions, without worry, and was incredibly kind to me. If the food is half as good as the people who work there, you should check this place out! :) thank you for helping me and being a good person. It means more than I can say and I wish you health, happiness, and great success. :)“

“Best Greek food in nyc Worth the lines“

“Right outside where I’m staying so it’s really convenient. I have eaten here three times in the last two days and I don’t have any complaints. The food is lovely and can’t recommend it enough if you like Mexican food and are in the area. Its even open early hours of the morning to have a snack after a night of drinking.“

“The staff seems proud of everything on their menu, with good reason. Their food offers better value than high-priced places. The servings here are filling. Employees kept our dining space tidy by removing used plates. You'll want to return to this restaurant!“

“Every time I go to this location it feels like I'm going to my cousin's house! The workers are so friendly and I go so often that it seems they all know my name now lol. I'm just sad Wonder removed my favorite meal from the menu 😩 I will be reaching out to corporate because how dare they!? Lol The zesty Chicken bowl from Yasas is absolute GOLD in the form of food!“
