Mabu Cafe NYC

Located on Doyers Street, this multi-level cafe recreates a traditional Hong Kong diner atmosphere. The kitchen turns out massive portions of comfort food, from classic fish balls and barbecue pork over rice to a decadent cheesy garlic curry chicken bread bowl served with an extra pour of sauce. The menu of noodle and rice plates updates frequently, but the underrated desserts are worth a visit on their own. Portions are large enough to share comfortably, and you can pay in cash to secure a discount on the bill.
