Absolutely outstanding fresh steam rolls. The portions are very generous, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. The shrimp rolls are my absolute favorite, followed closely by the BBQ pork. The texture is unbelievably silky — honestly the silkiest steam rolls I’ve ever had, even better than many I’ve tried across Asia.
The lovely ladies running the shop speak limited English but always understand your order and work with such care and diligence. I find myself coming here every weekend, and it’s no surprise the queues keep getting longer. Still, for the quality and the price, it’s 100% worth the wait. And don’t forget to ask for hot sauce (if you can handle it).
Pro tip: go early, bring cash, and prepare to enjoy the best steam rolls you’ll ever have. Truly a hidden gem — I just hope they never raise the prices or close down!

Waited 30 minutes in 27°F weather, then another 20 minutes after ordering—almost 50 minutes total for a food cart.
Ordered four large Cheong Fun (2 shrimp, 1 BBQ, 1 chicken) and was very clear, multiple times in Chinese: NO scallions on all orders. The order was repeated back to me and confirmed.
Got home and every order was full of scallions, with cilantro mixed inside one shrimp order. This wasn’t just on top—you can’t remove it. I had to throw everything away.
The menu doesn’t list scallions or cilantro, and traditional Cantonese Cheong Fun doesn’t include either. If you add them, fine—but listen when customers ask for none.
Spent $22.50, froze in line, and left with nothing edible. With so many good Cheong Fun spots in Chinatown, this wait and order inaccuracy aren’t worth it. Won’t be back.

Delicious rice noodles. I got the shrimp with extra soy sauce and chili sauce. The noodles had a really nice chewy texture and the portion of shrimp was very generous. This is a must try spot for an on the go snack.

The beef and pork noodles were absolutely outstanding — rich, savory, and packed with depth in every bite. Watching them come together at a humble curbside cart made the experience even more special. The two women running it were incredibly warm and welcoming, moving with skill and confidence as they prepared each bowl to order.
There’s something magical about street food done right, and this was exactly that. The broth was deeply flavorful, the meat tender and satisfying, and the noodles perfectly cooked. It felt authentic, comforting, and made with genuine care.
After tasting it, the line suddenly made perfect sense. What might look like a simple setup from afar turns out to be a destination in its own right — absolutely worth the wait.

One of the best value food carts you can find. I ordered a prawn noodle with egg for $4.50 and it hit the spot. The noodles wrapped around the prawns are so soft and had a nice bouncy texture. Beautiful flavours. Get in before midday, because they don’t open all day.

randomly stopped by after trying to go to a very busy place down the street (was told ~45 mins wait). only one person was in line, so I thought why not after looking at the prices. got the pork to try and it was surprisingly so worth it! delicious and hot for a cold day, freshly made, and the lady inside was friendly!

How they churn this out in that space is truly so impressive. One lady to take the money and one to make all the rice rolls lol. Absolute queens.
Very solid rice rolls with lots of sauce. I liked the bbq pork a lot.
The rice rolls aren’t the thinnest or silkiest in the world (or city), but they’re really solid. And well priced.
There are some benches around to eat if you wander.
Cash only.

Here’s a hidden gem for cheong fun lovers! Unlike the more famous spots, this unassuming food cart usually has a much shorter line, making it perfect for a quick, satisfying snack without the wait. Don’t be fooled by its modest setup — the taste is just as delicious and authentic as the more well-known rice roll vendors.
The rolls are perfectly soft, silky, and generously filled, capturing that classic texture and flavor that makes cheong fun so addictive. It’s the kind of place where locals seem to know the secret, and once you try it, you’ll understand why. Simple, quick, and incredibly tasty, it’s a spot that proves you don’t need a fancy storefront or long lines to get excellent food. Perfect for a casual bite that feels like a small culinary victory.

The cheong fun cart in Chinatown is one of those spots I keep coming back to, and for good reason. My usual order is the pork and egg steamed rice roll, and every time it hits the spot. The rice rolls are perfectly silky and smooth that melt-in-your-mouth kind of texture that only comes from freshly steamed rice batter made on the spot. Watching them spread the thin rice slurry over the hot steamer tray, then layering in pork and cracking an egg before rolling it all up, feels like seeing a small performance of tradition and skill.
Cheong fun (腸粉), or steamed rice rolls, is a Cantonese dim sum classic with roots in southern China, especially Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The name literally means “intestine noodle,” not because of what it’s made of, but because the long, thin rolls resemble intestines in shape. The batter is made of rice flour, sometimes mixed with tapioca or wheat starch for elasticity, which gives it that glossy, silky finish when steamed. It’s then filled with different ingredients pork, beef, shrimp, egg, or even just plain with soy sauce and rolled up into soft, delicate sheets.
What makes this version so good is the combination: the pork adds savory richness, the egg makes it fluffy and hearty, and when you drizzle over that slightly sweet soy sauce, it ties everything together. Some stalls even top it with a little sesame oil, scallions, or toasted sesame seeds, which lift the flavors without overpowering the rice roll itself. The dish is humble but deeply satisfying, a street food classic that has stayed popular for decades because it’s simple, fresh, and comforting.
Every bite is soft, silky, and full of flavor a perfect balance of texture and taste. It’s the kind of food that reminds you why Cantonese cuisine is so beloved: clean flavors, beautiful textures, and a focus on freshness. Eating it on the street in Chinatown, steaming hot right out of the cart, just makes the experience even better.

For my taste, I am big on sauce and texture. The rolls for me are too soft and squishy, and they did not give enough sauce. Fortunately enough, I had brought my own. I got a dried shrimp and egg, it was OVERALL OK, nothing special. With the added sauce, made everything better. Price wise, this place was the most affordable and you can choose between small and large. A small would have been just fine for me.
