Nestled on East Broadway, Carol’s Bun is a cozy Chinese joint serving up delightful Cantonese and Fujianese dishes, where you can mix and match your favorites over rice for an unbeatable price.
"Carol’s Bun is a modest sort of place, a bastion of homestyle Cantonese food since the mid-1990s. All its offerings line up on a steam table; you can make any combination of dishes into your own personalized assortment. Dumplings are available, too, prepared to order. A modest amount of seating is found outside. Softshell crab, fried pig intestines, green beans sauteed with garlic, and small fish fried or braised are favorites." - Robert Sietsema
"We don’t know Carol, but we often think about her whenever we walk down East Broadway. If you’re near the LES, you can think about her too while you pick out three entrees all for under $10 here. Carol’s Bun is open for takeout and delivery every day, and you can place your order directly through their website here." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
"This wonderful small cafe right on the Lower East Side’s East Broadway serves Cantonese and Fujianese food in a three dishes over rice format, and the cup of soup is free. Look through the window and select small fried fish, scrambled eggs with vegetables like bok choy and eggplant, tangy stir fries of pork and chicken, and, like the name says, buns and dumplings stuffed with pork or vegetables. Order online with free local delivery." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
"Carol’s Bun (139 E. Broadway, Lower East Side) is a friendly and informal café serving Chinese pastries and daily over-rice specials." - Robert Sietsema
