Welcome to Kissena Cafe

“ Kissena Cafe, a delightful little Hong Kong-style tea house in Flushing, offers a cozy, family-owned vibe. The staff are warm, easygoing, and incredibly helpful, which made our breakfast visit a pleasant experience. Our family ordered a variety of dishes including corned beef egg sandwiches, luncheon meat egg sandwiches, French toast, beef stew with flat rice noodles in soup, milk tea, and coffee tea. The rice noodle dish was particularly comforting for winter, featuring a soup that was perfectly seasoned, capturing a tasteful blend of beef flavors complemented by the freshness of scallions and lettuce. The beef stew was another highlight, with big, tender chunks of meat that nearly melted in your mouth— a superb execution of a classic dish. Although the rice noodles were good, they didn’t quite reach the heights of the best I’ve had. The French toast was beautifully presented and tasted somewhat plain, but the addition of peanut butter was a nice touch. The sandwiches were exceptional, offering a satisfying mix of salty, rich beef and creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs on well-toasted bread. The drinks, both milk tea and coffee tea, were authentically prepared and exactly what you’d expect from a Hong Kong tea house. A special mention goes to the curry fish balls, which were a hit with my son—he loved them so much he asked for seconds. Considering the quality and pricing, Kissena Cafe is a gem in Flushing. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic Hong Kong breakfast experience. (Update: we find that we keep coming back to it :)) ”

“ I have been coming here for many years. Price is reasonable and the quality has been consistently good as well. Very authentic HK style food. The breakfast combos are a steal. There are not that many Hong Kong style cafes in the area anymore. Just more restaurants opening up in Flushing serving mainland Chinese cuisine, which is great and all but we have to preserve the HK cafes. I’m a fan of Kissena Cafe and will continue to support this business. ”

“ When I entered it was pretty small. Luckily, we found a seat. I was starving and my parents were still ordering. After a few minutes the dishes were ready and I was devouring it all. They were all delicious and I hope I come back. ”

“ super awesome place. support them because these hong kong cafes are going out of business. food is delicious and prices are amazing. ”

“ Been coming here since i was a little kid, always love the teas. The place has changed a bit over the past few years but it's still very, very good, if not better! ”

“ Just real Cantonese breakfast shop vibes. You can see where east meets west and it shines through in flavor. Everything I've had so far after a couple times coming, is simple and delicious. If i ever find something I don't like, I'll update the review but this has yet to happen. ”

“ Love their "Big" wonton, all shrimp inside, very full filling, just like Hong Kong style "super wonton", don't forget the red vinegar…you know what I mean if you are Cantonese~^^ Beef stew is soft and tender, enough taste, easy to chew, if you like spicy, try with their homemade hot pepper oil, it is a very satisfied combination! Approved by Hongkies! ”

“ Our kids are taking music classes at Queens College over the weekend. Very nice people and authentic Cantonese food! Ingredients are simple, but flavor and taste easily at the top in Flushing. We have been happy loyal customers for the last 7/8 years. ”
