Chinatown Dim Sum with Four Dollar Sticky Rice

Pick up chicken buns and baked sweets, with weekday discounts on remaining items after the main services end.

Bring cash for Van Cafe.

🍚 Sticky Rice and Bakery Sweets

Van Cafe turns a small snack budget into a choice between sweet baking and savory dim sum. At 243 Grand Street in Chinatown, the takeout counter serves fresh pastries and baked sweets alongside chicken buns that can be hard to find, priced at one dollar and fifty cents apiece. Lo Mai Gai sticky rice costs four dollars, offering another way to build an order beyond the bakery selection.

Bring notes and coins, as the counter accepts cash payments only. Opening hours run from half past six AM to 6 PM Monday through Saturday, and from 7 AM to 6 PM on Sunday.

Weekdays bring a separate discount window after the main baking and dim sum services end. The offer applies to whatever remains, rather than a promised selection of particular dishes. Leave your final choice to the counter when you arrive.
