Hey Hey Canteen

The space is within Gotham Market which allows you choice in case you are unsure of what to eat. I had the ramen noodles with Tamari roasted chicken in chicken broth. There are surely some flavors but was expecting more for a $15. The chicken also come in a leg and thigh so when eating ramen it requires a bit more work to eat. Also the cheap teeny plastic spoon they provide you does not allow you to capture enough broth when you one to have one complete bite. Ramen should be easy to eat! Think if they make some changes I will be back.

I passed by this place a few time and finally decided to try it. The lokes: We got chicken and veggies dumplings. They were both really good. Decent size and fully stuffed (not those one bite from other places). Chicken ones were juicy, not dry at all. The veggies ones were free when you check in on yelp and very tasty as well. Chicken wings were ok. I wouldn't come here just got them. The side tamarind sauce was delicious, perfect tartness and sweetness. Stir fried ramen with roasted pork, love the little broth, noodles were very flavorful. The roast pork was good but nothing special. Roasted pork buns, they were good but nothing especial. The pickled onion inside was very well made and it was the perfect complement to the pork. Clean bathroom with cute decoration. The staff were very friendly. The dislikes At first we had ordered the ramen with chicken leg and thigh. The chicken looked a bit undercooked to me, but they exchanged it for the roasted pork one. I think I was expecting more for a $15 bowl of ramen. The chicken wings took an awful long time to come out. I think they might have forgotten it. An asian young lady, who I think was the owner, came a few times to ask if our food was ok after the chicken incident and that's very nice of her. Overall, I like the place. Pricing was on the high end for dumplings and instant ramen, but so is everything else in the area.

Interesting, tasty, and pretty quick, somewhere between fast food and sit down. The food is really flavorful. The bao are a good texture. The Caesar salad was very well dressed. Beware the copious mayo on the chicken sandwich, if you're not a fan of mayo. To my surprise it has a liquor license, and there are some interesting cocktails, although I wish they had a bigger selection of nice non-alcoholic bevs. The staff are very friendly. The dumplings were very good, not soup dumplings but far from dry, and stuffed with filling. That side of fourth avenue may not get too much food traffic, but this place makes it worth crossing the avenue!

My order was Roast Pork Lo Mein. I paid $14.14 with tax. The Noodles had a nice flavor however the roast pork was scorched. The noodles were congealed even though they were hot and the portion was small. This meal was so NOT worth what I paid. I was vexed enough to Google this restaurant and leave a negative review. Something I never do. No I would not recommend this restaurant.

On two occasions they had signs that they were closed and wouldn't take our order, then after about 15-20 minutes they started taking orders from other people. When we asked, they said they had closed for a large private order which took less time than they expected. When we finally did get a chance to eat from here, they got the noodles wrong in one of our orders, the chicken and chicken broth was super bland, and I couldn't take more than half a sip of their turmeric ginger drink. 2 stars because the sesame peanut sauce and roasted pork were actually pretty good.

Really well-executed Cantonese food with a twist, made with great ingredients and a lot of love. Our friend hosted a birthday party here and they served a wonderfully prepared prix-fixe meal (mmm... those ribs!) in their space. Definitely a great option to consider not just for everyday meals, but events and catering too.

I ordered Hey Hey Canteen for catering for my birthday party and had a horrible experience. They were heavily pushing me while I was attempting to order, sending me invoices when I was not even finished with my order and pressuring me to pay quickly. They were on time for delivery, but they completely forgot the other half of our order, even though I was speaking with them two hours before my party, confirming with them. I quickly called them and had a back and forth conversation with them for 40 minutes during my party. I asked them if I could order from a nearby restaurant and they could just cover the charge since it would take them a long time to come back. They refused, and would only have my order in 40 minutes. By this time, it was pointless and I did not have enough food for the party. They promised to refund me for the missing order — five days passed and I received no refund. Only after I filed a dispute with my credit card company did I get my money back with no apology. They did not even seem to care that I would write a bad review. Horrible customer service relations and will not be returning here.

I've been here a few times and have enjoyed every meal. I especially like the Caesar, Roast Pork Lo Mein, Chicken Sandwich, and Seafood Laksa. Everything is super tasty and much more enjoyable than the Chinese food in Chinatown. So happy there's a place in NYC where I can fulfill my Chinese food cravings!
