HI Tea Hong Kong Style Cafe - Authentic HK Breakfast & Brunch in Queens

My bestie took me here because I wanted Chinese soy milk and Chinese baked goods before my flight home. It did not disappoint! The soy milk was delicious. I would ask for less ice in the future, but it brought me back to days when I was a kid sipping on soy milk in a Chinese bakery! Super nostalgic and yummy. The ladies working the register were super nice and they spoke English. I usually try and practice my Chinese, but I forgot how to say something. The lady easily transitioned to English to spare me from stumbling over my Chinese

My friend and I have been here twice, and you absolutely have to try their Baked Chicken Chop! It's super delicious, and the portion is huge for only ~$15. (Baked Chicken Chop, ketchup, and fried rice) Other food are kinda bland tbh…

2024.03 Hk style small place not ideal for sit in. with parking in the back. Most food I ordered from kitchen are good. Tofu with fish and satay beef udon are not. Not fried tofu and not too much satay. Curry is great, Hk milk tea is also good. I will say cp value is high.

I come here and order the Hong Kong style tea. It’s delicious! 5/5! I Zelle them the payment with no issues! Photos are attached!

Ordered baked pork chop with curry sauce, fried wonton, HK milk tea, and stir fried instant noodle. They tasted amazingly! Fast delivery and the food were still hot. It just made my day What I wish the restaurant to improve is perhaps add more flavour to the stir fried noodle, it tasted a bit bland. Other than that, everything else was perfect!

The staff here were very friendly and the service was quick; they were very considerate with the fact that I was in a rush and the transaction went smoothly and quickly. Please keep in mind that this is a CASH ONLY restaurant like many HK style cafes are back in the days. They have condiments on the side for you to add to your liking and they even carry sriracha, which had recently went up in price! The food were all quite tasty and reasonably priced, so it was an amazing surprise that I found this place! If you're craving HK style foods, this is definitely the place to go for affordable and delicious HK dishes! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Update: July 2022. Tried and true HK style fare. I think my family and I have tried practically most of the menu. Baked pork chop with tomato sauce and egg fried rice is so good. My kids love their toasted egg sandwiches and macaroni soup with Spam and fried egg. I love their Cafe drink menu. From iced to hot, plenty of choices. 2019-2021, This is one of my favorite Hong Kong style cafes in my hood. Consistent with their food and pretty quick regardless take out or dine in. Daily specials featured all day, just check the wall by the counter. Fresh breads offered for sale as well, made by another local bakery. Or try their condensed milk toast or my personal favorite, the peanut butter French toast. Favorite dishes: spaghetti with meat sauce, mei fun, fish over rice, and Portuguese Chicken.

The food for the most part isn't bad, but their HK style lemon and milk teas do not taste good at all. I've had much better at other places.
