"Kong Sihk Tong in Flushing is a big, pastel-and-neon wonderland of Hong Kong-style food. The breakfast sets are all under $10, making it perfect for a casual morning meal, or lunch when you want to hang out for a while without spending a ton of money. The salted egg yolk lava french toast is our favorite dish, but the beef satay instant noodle soup is a close second. They also make the best milk tea around. On weekends, expect to wait a while for a table if you don’t get there before 10am. Kong Sihk Tong has another location in Chinatown that is cash-only." - neha talreja, will hartman
