Reviews for Carol's Bun in New York, NY
Highly recommend. No frills, excellent homemade Cantonese food, and a good value. $8 lunch special, rice and 3 dishes with a... bonus cup of broth. I arrived just before 12pm Sat and several beautiful freshly hot dishes were ready to be served. I got thepigs feet, soy sauce chicken and steamed fish, great flavors and just like how my parents made them. There were at least 20dishes that I'll have to come back for! No room for seating, except for a lonely table outside. Seward park is close enough toenjoy! Read more
Lunch combo of whatever is fresh and hot for $8 is a great deal with lots of diverse flavors. My colleague got this, and I will... be sure to get it next time. I had beef brisket over rice which was a generous portion, quick, and delicious. Ate out on the onetable on the street. There was a constant and steady line during the 30 min I sat there. Read more
Fantastic home cooking. $8 for three of the hot bar selections over rice
Carol's Bun is a small Chinese takeout restaurant wedged between Chinatown & the Lower East Side on East Broadway. there's no... seating except for a single table out front...the interior is basically the narrow area where you order from thealready-prepared hot foods on display OR place an order for the kitchen. most people order from the hot food bar where you canpick and choose whatever is on display and prepared that day. the dishes rotate daily, so it's not the same choices every day.the food, here, is exceedingly good for the price. last time i was here--i got the special which is three sides over rice andgot curried chicken and vegetables, fried batter fish, and bokchoy. the serving is ample and you get a lot of each side as wellas rice. the rice was fluffy and tasted fresh bc the turnover is high so they constantly have to make more. the chicken curryand veggies was really flavorful. and the fried battered fish was crunchy and savory. definitely a great place to try if you'rehungry and want a variety of eats on one plate. the special of three sides over rice is $7.50 + tip. Carol is friendly andpatient. i have only been here after the lunch rush and there are a lot of dishes still available. Read more

Carol?s Bun is a nice hole-in-the-wall located in Chinatown. I went there to grab a Too Good To Go order and also ordered their... fried shishamo which was delicious. The lady threw in a free soup for me which was really nice. They are cash only but they alsotake Venmo. Read more
A take out place that offers authentic Cantonese food. I had ???, ???,??. All of them taste great. Clean and fresh. There is one... small table outside the store no place to sit inside so it's for takeout only. Read more
