I’ve heard of it and passed through it several times, but I’ve never stopped and I’ve always wanted to. Chinese food especially is something I’m very curious of, I love it.
Yes I have Fung Bros done a lot of videos on New York so you should check out their videos also I been to New York once but did not have time to check it out
@@HereBeBarr You are too modest. You know as much if not more about good cheap foods in NYC. Thanks for featuring Actionkid on your channel. You and AK make almost a nice a couple as you and Adriana! LOL. Enjoy your new apartment and neighborhood.
Tofu Pudding 豆腐花，Roasted pork over rice 叉燒飯 (同樂小炒王），Peanut Noodle 花生醬拌面（合意小吃），Soup dumplings 小籠包 （Fei Long Market Food Court 飛龍超市小食城）Looking forward to part 2 the egg tart 蛋撻！
The part with the peanut noodles took me out, the hand just coming out of nowhere 😂😂😂 this was such great content, also you and Actionkid have a great vibe filming together 🤝
If you're in the Sunset Park neighbourhood I really recommend checking out Industry City near the waterfront. There's a really good Japanese food hall there with lots of tasty options.
I follow both Here Be Barr and Action Kid. I love Chinatowns wherever they are! I am vegan so would like a vegan food tour sometime. No MSG! Thanks for teaming up for this! Enjoyed it so much!
It's nice to see the hidden places in New York City for food. I'd say the food that looked good to me was the noodles in the peanut sauce and the barbecue pork. I'm looking forward to part 2. Cheers!
I am so excited to see this video!!! I've been waiting for a Chinatown moment. Thank you for doing this! You know you are eating all day long for under $15 a person. Amazing 🤣♥️
My husband, two friends, and I had never been to Brooklyn's Chinatown and just spent the past three hours hitting everyplace on your 2-part list of places to go. Thanks so much for your suggestions - we enjoyed them all!
You and AK's in-person Chinese restaurant reviews are a really good Noodle mix. Concise and well presented. I see the likes of Siskel and Ebert reviews in your future collaborations.
Thanks for another great neighborhood video with the Action Kid. I've been thru there and was very anxious to stop and get something to eat. But parking around there is pretty difficult. Maybe in the winter time.
In the good old days, a magazine left unnamed would list cheap eats in NYC and surrounding areas. You are continuing a great tradition. Keep it up and thank you.
Awesome recommendations! That area is such a hidden gem. The tofu pudding is actually a breakfast meal in the Philippines. Depending on how you look at it, you sort of did it in the right order. 😉
What a great series! You and ActionKid are my favourite UA-camrs! ( I also subscribe to Sarah Funk, Jennifer O'Brien and What a Shame Mary Jane). Great to see you collaborating. Brooklyn Chinatown looks so interesting!
Gotta give credit where credit's due, I have an NYC trip coming up and I remembered you did this video so searched your channel for this and part 2, made my list and then clicked out of the video.... then I thought thats not fair he did all that work I gotta at least give some credit so I came back to leave this comment. Great stuff man! Lucky Veg and Kai Feng Fu are what I'm looking most forward to!
Love Sunset Park but I want to clarify, that it was not abandoned from the 1960's. It became a Puerto Rican neighborhood, and later other Latin American ethnicities moved in and there is still a big Latin neighborhood.
Jon, I visited Brooklyn Chinatown for the first time on my last visit to the Big Apple 🍎 back in September 2019, I absolutely loved it, very much off the tourist trail and better for it. Lots of gems to be discovered not just in food, but other oriental products, a must visit for at least half a day.
I recently moved near this neighborhood and my job requires me to frequently visit this neighborhood so this video is perfect ! Can’t wait to try some of these places
@@HereBeBarr delightful! I now have one more thing to look forward to every month! I actually watch your videos with my mom cause we really enjoy food, and we would talk about the video when we’re out for lunch or just feeling hungry, while showing her NYC! Can’t wait for more videos!
Well done! All the food look so yummy! I love these food videos! Good to know where to eat on a budget ! I am ready for seconds on the next food video!
Glad to see you made this video as many people fail to visit or even know about Brooklyn Chinatown. It’s may be the smallest out of the three but it’s my personal favorite. I got here like 3-4 times a week. I work in flushing queens Chinatown too. And spend a lot of time around Manhattan Chinatown but Brooklyn is easier to get around. The 2nd spot you went to has an equivalent in flushing two I didn’t even know until I realized the flavors were so similar and a worker recognized me and told me that. You should have gotten the honey roast duck though. That’s best thing on there menu. 👌🏾
Really appreciated these suggestions, I'm familiar with 8th ave, but since I'm in Queens I always tend to go to Flushing. I went to 3 of the places you suggested this morning, Kai feng fu dumpling house, Ba xuyen, and Xinfa bakery. The bahn mi, was ok, I'm partial to Joju in Elmhurst.The dumplings were really good though. But the portuguese egg tart was the best I've had EVER! I got them when they just came out the of the oven ...Yummmmmmmm☺️☺️☺️ Thanks again for the great suggestion, I'll be trying your Brighton suggestions soon!
Fun fact: And Flushing Chinatown started in 1970 with Mandarin speaking Taiwanese immigrants who decided not to go to Manhattan Chinatown due to language barrier (Cantonese). Great to see 1 of 3 Brooklyn Chinatown! While I still think there are 3 in the city one can say food wise there more - like 9 according to this article. I can attest food places they list pretty good ny.eater.com/2019/2/25/18236523/chinatowns-restaurants-elmhurst-homecrest-bensonhurst-east-village-little-neck-forest-hills-nyc
Spent my summers in Sunset park growing up all til senior year of high school. Id say you're correct in saying most New Yorkers don't know about the Chinatown or mexican neighborhood in Sunset Park. But most Brooklyn natives do. In college id go with friends to go for karaoke on 9th Ave and we'd get tacos on 5th Ave at like 2 in the morning
Sunset Park is a gorgeous place. The southern chinese community along 8th ave is so vibrant, yet of the 3 major chinatowns, I have experienced this one the least. One day soon, I would kill to try those spots, especially the peanut noodle place as to my knowledge Shu Jiao Fu Zhou has shut down
@@grahamsmith6210 Some claim there are 9. At this point, I think there are at least 6 solid ones. Manhattan's Chinatown, Flushing, Elmhurst, Sunset Park, Sheepshead Bay and Bensonhurst
Those noodles looked amazing. (Both Manhattan & BK)... I use 2 order Garlic Noodles @ a random Chinese spot in Downtown Flushing. I haven’t been able to find them, anywhere else. The place, I went to closed down...Have you ever had Garlic Noodles.

Exactly where is that unnamed vendor with that tofu pudding and ginger syrup that you started off with. What's the intersection. And thanx yo.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Grazie
An unnamed tofu vendor, somebody's house, a random mall... I wonder what could be next? It was great tagging along for this epic food tour!
You really brought your A-game in this one 😅
I'm looking forward to part 2.

good to hear, you don’t hear this more often
Kens jacket looks nice...I think I'm going to buy one like that
ACTIOn kid lets go!!
Brooklyn’s Chinatown is definitely underrated
Agreed!
Agreed. Most people think that NYC only has one Chinatown
Brooklyn has 3 Chinatowns
You need to join ActionKid on one of his epic bike rides!
The part with the peanut noodles took me out, the hand just coming out of nowhere 😂😂😂 this was such great content, also you and Actionkid have a great vibe filming together 🤝
cool to see you together in video !!! Bon appétit!
More to come!

Silken tofu with ginger syrup is perfect on a cold day
Oh yes
Wow! I’ve never heard of Brooklyn Chinatown !

Need someone to point my guy to some Haitian food. You will not regret it.
What a great way to start my day. Drinking coffee and watching your vlog. I can’t wait to be able to travel back to NYC soon.

Already know which place you guys are going to for those egg tarts in part 2 😉
Of course you do!

starting with dessert.... best decision ever. got me craving egg tarts just with those b-roll shots. can’t wait for part 2

I feel like I know quiet a lot @ NY
Kudos!👍🏻
Brooklyns Chinatown is Awesome thanks for the great video cant wait for part 2 .
There's also a small Chinatown on Avenue U with some gems
I love sunset park! Thanks for showing this part of BK!

Hi! Every video makes me think I really need to get back to NYC. Followed your advices last year, extremely helpful. Thanks

i didnt know there was a china town on Brooklyn!! :0 I got to go there one day ^^
I discovered Brooklyn's Chinatown on 8th Avenue in about 1988 or 89 when it was only 2 blocks long. Boy has it grown.
I love noodles with peanut sauce....or chicken and noodles with peanut sauce ...what a great video ....
There’s actually three Chinatowns in Brooklyn - Sunset Park, Bensonhurst and Sheepshead Bay. Sunset Park is the biggest.
Yep 👌🏻
Chinese is my favorite food ❣ Thank you Jon for showing other areas of NYC that'd be nice to visit.
Lol. You guys were fun to see on the eat retreat.😊😊😊
I like ActionKid's haircut
not gonna lie. I think the tofu pudding looked the best. That ginger syrup make that tofu pudding POP!
Hope you boys made it back to the home after the field trip. Great job!
AK is so good looking and those dimples precious.
yesss this is the content we love 🤩😌

Yay this is my neighborhood! thanks for showing Sunset Park some love
haha thumbnail looks like the mother lover lonely island boys! haha
lmao!!
OMG I want everything!! Amazing that it's so close to us :D

I'll have to check some of these places out !!
Can't wait to try the different dishes in New York. Here in tampa its so scary for me I have to get hiv tested constantly. Seriously no lie. 2021

@@tips4tourists790 yeah, Bensonhurst has the largest population of Chinese immigrants in NYC
Whuuutt?! Brooklyn Chinatown?! Wow!!
Btw, the tofu pudding is kinda similar to a Filipino deli called Taho. 😅😉
The food is very rich; that's why people drink tea to wash it down; the tannins cleanses the palette.
Don't mind me, just noodling 'roud here in BK!
Lucky Eight nice restaurant,grand slam video sir!!
Nooooo, i missed you guys! :(
from queens , been to brooklyn many times but yeah never knew there was a chinatown there, used to the one in flushing and manhattan
I’m really missing NY, even if I’m happy I visited it in November 19
Those noodles looked amazing. (Both Manhattan & BK)... I use 2 order Garlic Noodles @ a random Chinese spot in Downtown Flushing. I haven’t been able to find them, anywhere else. The place, I went to closed down...Have you ever had Garlic Noodles.

If those are small tofu puddings, I wonder what a large looks like. The smalls are pretty big.
good chinatown food video

I will!
