As a food reviewer of Restaurant World, I had the pleasure of sampling some of the most popular dishes at M Star Cafe. One standout item is the beef rice rolls, touted as the best in the city by locals and visitors alike. The perfect dough, flavorful filling, and generous portion size make this dish a must-try for any food enthusiast.
For breakfast lovers, the classic HK steamed rice rolls with a delicious sauce are a popular choice. While some may find the rice rolls a bit denser than expected, the flavorful sauce more than makes up for it. Pair it with a comforting milk tea or coffee for the perfect start to your day.

Great Hong Kong style cafe. Prices are very inexpensive and you get great value for the money. Staff are friendly and i believe family owned and operated. Cash only
This is one of those places that are so good in the city that you don't want to share it but I didn't feel right keeping this from you. They make the best beef rice rolls in the city. Hands down and yes I realize what a big statement that is, but here's the thing, their dough is perfect, the filling is perfect, and so is the portion. They only serve it until 2:45pm and Ryan is awesome. That's all I have to write. Oh and I'm sorry I don't have pics of it. I keep eating it too quickly. I'll do better.
M Star Cafe is a local joint serving typical HK breakfast foods. If you don't expect too much from this hole in a wall like service, you will enjoy it. Prices are very cheap here. I got the classic HK steamed rice rolls doused in sauce - the sauce was really good but personally I found the rice rolls to be too dense. I also go a milk tea/coffee which was really warming and good on a frigid day. Don't expect great service - expect authentic HK food at the price of a less friendly service. One day I would love to come back and try the other breakfast items like the classic toasts.
Had the C breakfast; elements were basic but everything came out quickly and they tasted good. Note it is cash only.
True hidden gem in Chinatown. You might miss the storefront when you pass by. If you come across any Hongkongers who have been living in NYC for over 10 years, I bet they all knew this place. ＊ Steamed Rice Noodle w/ Mixed Peanut Sauce 混醬腸粉 You could bathe your rice noodle roll with the hearty spread of peanut butter and soy sauce. The peanut butter was on the thicker side, and the rice rolls were dense, so it would be better to divvy up with your company. ＊ Egg and Spam Sandwich (toasted) 餐蛋治烘底 I have tried several HK cafes in town and most of them were disappointing, but their sandwich was a spot-on. Appreciate their sandwich arrived warm. I was surprised by the egg as it was so fluffy and thick. Highly recommend getting your sandwich toasted as the bread itself wasn't very soft. ＊ HK Milk Tea 港式奶茶 Good enough to pair it with your HK style tea. The HK milk tea from Xin Fa (8 Av Brooklyn) and S Wan (Grand St) is still undoubtedly the best in NYC. Worth Returning ? Yes
Nothing fancy just authentic Hong Kong style "Cha Chang Tang". It's kinda like an Asian diner where you can get a variety of food for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The food is decent but this kind of cafe is not meant to serve fancy food but more comfort food. Milk tea is good and authentic. Service is pretty good for a chinese establishment. Check this place out if you are up for some authentic Asian styled quick bites.
