Authentic Hong Kong style food. Tomato beef macaroni with onsen egg, scallion chicken, pork chop with pepper sauce, HK milk tea and red bean ice are very good. The service is nice.

This is the first time I’ve ever written a review like this. I truly hope no one else has the same experience I did.
I visited this restaurant for the first time today. I ordered a dish based on the staff’s recommendation and waited about 20 minutes for the food to arrive. The wait itself was fine.
However, when the chicken dish was finally served, it was lukewarm, not freshly cooked. On top of that, it had a strong gamey smell. I tried dipping it in the sauce to see if that helped, but then I noticed the chicken wasn’t fully cooked—there was even visible blood.
I told the staff, and they offered to remake it or let me order something else. I didn’t want to wait another 20 minutes, so I asked for a refund. But they said refunds aren’t allowed, and I had to choose another menu item instead.
When I said I didn’t have time, the owner, in an irritated tone, said, “Then hurry up and order.” I was shocked by the attitude. So I replied, “This was your mistake and a waste of my time—shouldn’t there at least be an apology?” Only then did I receive a reluctant apology.
The new dish I ordered was about a dollar cheaper than the original one. When I asked about the price difference, they said the first dish included a soup that costs $3.
But the thing is, I never ordered a soup, nor was I told that a soup would be included. It just came out without explanation. I couldn’t understand how they could charge for something I didn’t even ask for.
Finally, they asked me to sign the receipt “to avoid any issues later,” since I had changed the order. I took the second dish to go but ended up not eating it.

This is a nice Hong Kong style restaurant that is in the middle of a residential area. The food is mostly good, albeit expensive.
It was worth checking out. The lava toast was amazing and the chicken salad was also really good. I would come back to try the other items on the menu.

Must try the HK Milk tea, feels like I'm in Hong Kong. Good portion and tasty. The Scallion Chicken with daily soup is amazing. Couldn't wait for another around. Self Service, tips is not mandatory, you could save some money for dessert 😁

Marathon Cafe in Little Neck is run by Chef Kim Lee & Chef Joe Lee, two brothers with a heart of gold. A beautiful restaurant, the best Hong Kong restaurant in Queens! You’ll want to come back and try more. The menu is so big. There is something for everyone
Vegetarian options: Stop by and ask for Chef Tashi! He’ll chop up some scallion chicken for you really fast!
Parking: The black pepper sauce is to die for. Also, try the beef tongue spaghetti !
Kid-friendliness: Marathon welcomes all kids of all ages!
Wheelchair accessibility: My grandma cannot walk well anymore and she still comes every day for lunch!!!!!!

They speak cantonese and mandarin here. Large portions, but they don't cut corners. The quality is top notch.
The katsu is huge, the scallion chicken is moist and juicy and comes with turnip soup.
The cream used in the lava toast is so good. And the toast was so fluffy
Parking: Find spots in the neighborhood

Just be careful the chef doesn’t cook the salmon well, I ordered a salmon salad and it was raw and cold !
