" Simple street cart, great food! I went with the cha siu and shrimp rolls; both were fantastic. The prices are unbeatable. You know it’s a local favorite when there’s a queue. Fast service, even when busy! This place is where to go in Chinatown for cheong fun. Just don’t forget to come early especially if you’re going on a weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Surprisingly good street cart food! I tried the char siu cheong fun and really enjoyed it. The noodles were so soft, and the flavor was just right. I would recommend skipping the sauces, as the noodles are already packed with taste. The lineup was moderate, and when it was my turn, everything moved quickly. It’s nothing fancy, but it fills you up and satisfies a craving without breaking the bank. I love hidden gems like this! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just an average experience at Cheong Fun Cart. While it’s nice to grab something cheap and quick, I expected the dumplings and rice to be more flavorful. I had the pork roll, and while the portion was decent, the taste was a miss for me. I could see why people enjoy the convenience and pricing, but I was hoping for a bit more authenticity. Pleasant staff though; they got my order right and were very friendly! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re in the mood for a genuinely delightful street food experience, Cheong Fun Cart is the place for you. I had the beef rice roll with egg, and it was fantastic! The noodles were silky, the beef was tender, and the combination left me wanting more. I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable everything is! If you’re ever in Chinatown, be sure to give this place a try. The lines can be long, but so worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say that my experience at Cheong Fun Cart was somewhat underwhelming. Though the price was incredibly low, I found the flavors lacking. The cheong fun was mushy, and the sauce didn’t add much to it. Maybe I had my expectations set too high. I appreciate the hard work of the ladies running the cart, but I would prefer a bit more seasoning on my food. I might give it another chance down the road, but for now, I’m looking elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want a taste of cute, authentic cheong fun with a unique street food experience, look no further! The prices were fantastic, and the flavors transported me straight back to my childhood in Hong Kong. The shrimp was plump and cooked to perfection. I had to have another one! The only downside was waiting in line, but I’d say it’s worth every minute. I doubt you’d find anything quite like this! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a must-try for anyone visiting Chinatown. I went during peak lunch hours, and it got crowded fast, but the ladies were quick and organized. Tried the pork and egg rice roll, and it didn’t disappoint. The combination of flavors was on point, and I’d recommend trying the chili sauce for a bit of spice. Caution—bring cash as they only take that! " (*Curated Review*)
