Chen Won Dim Sum & Bakery

Good dim sum in Brooklyn prices somewhat ok but every Sunday I order almost the same thing always a different price! The women that work there a rude as well as the guy that’s there.

You come here for the roast pork (char siu). Bar none the freshest and best tasting roast pork you’ll find in Brooklyn. Don’t have them cut it up for you. Buy them by the strip and cut it up yourself at home.
You’re welcome.

Rude owner and staff. I don’t go there very often but I caught the owner arguing with customers several times.
Food was okay. They don’t have many variety of buns. If you arrive late you’re left with a few buns to choose from.
It’s the only roast poultry place closest to 25^th Ave and its close to the train station and I’m sure that’s why people go there-​convenience.

Their food is inconsistent. Sometimes it is delicious, on point! Other times, it is just lacking or it feel like it is missing something. Plus is that it is rather cheap.
This place is quite popular. Depending on the time of the day, there will be a line extending out the door. This place is also relatively small with a few tables and not enough room to stand and wait around. Most people just get take out when they come here.

This review is written in comparison to the bakery two stores down. I think chen won has better Cantonese dishes meaning they have better dim sum, congee and of course their barbecue meats. If you are looking for a heavier breakfast by all means come here. If you want baked goods and buns go next door.

Good dim sum

They may not have the most friendly staff so its just easier to point to stuff. Keep you questions and request down to a minimum as it will be usless. Its a small dim sum spot so be prepared to go. My mother frequently goes to this place for their spare rib tips. I have yet to try their other stuff

Food is good and cheap but i really dislike the people working there. Not exactly the kindest. Asked for soy sauce& hot sauce for my dimsums and the response i got was «you dont need it». WHAT?! –_​_​-​” Shumai, sticky rice and rice dishes with roasted pork are great tho.

Ordered a roasted duck and it will be my first and last time order there! **1. Bad attitude **2. Ask them to get one small «ginger & scallion» sauce they said the sauce don’t come with it and doesn’t goes with the duck. HEY, if I want eat with it is my problem, I am chinese I know what goes and what doesn’t so that is my own decisions! **3.The duck looks like swimming in oil inside of the plastic takeout box and extremely SALTY feel like I need drink one gallon of water!!! **4. LAST AND THE WORST!!! After three pieces of th duck… We FOUND HAIR!!! And I am sure that is not from the duck!!! SOOOOOO… EWWWWWWWWWWW!!! If I can give them minus stars «I WILL»!!! SOOOOOOOOO NASTY AND DIRTY PLACE!!!

This place has the best char siu (bbq pork) in the neighborhood. I really recommend the juicy, fatty, and sweet bbq pork with rice. I even tell them to add an extra $ 2 of meat sometimes and tell them to choose the fattier portions. I never tried their dimsum, the pastries are alright, but like i said on top the bbq pork is a must!!!

Quality dim sum right next to the train station. They also have chinese baked things like buns, cakes and lunch boxes and bbq meats. Also have drinks like coffee and tea. More of a take out place, but they do have a few tables.

Their food in general is ok, definitely wouldn’t compare to a place in Chinatown. But I usually get their noodles because it’s tasty and cheap for $ 1.75. Their roast pork and soy sauce chicken isn’t bad either, but I would say just buy it by the lb, because if you order it with rice, you’re in for a laugh. I ordered the chicken and roast pork over rice, they gave me a quarter of the breast and maybe like 6 little pieces of roast pork and they had no veggies left at this point. Definitely not worth the $ 4.75.

Best thing to get is the har gow, shrimp dumpling.

This place puts you off with its tiny shop front and chefs who take their lunch breaks literally outside and on the street, but i do find it quite decent. I can order a bbq thing over rice, with some fresh steamed chinese veggies and a soup (yay) !
While i find the elizabeth food market to be the champion for roasted piglet in NYC, theirs isn’t so bad and actually its quite tasty

Just stumbled on this tiny takeout the other afternoon, evidently after dim sum was over. What they did have were roasted meats in the style of Chinatown fast food, as opposed to the Chinese-​American places typical of Brooklyn. (This area, on the border between Gravesend and Bath Beach, is becoming Brooklyn’s second Chinatown, after Sunset Park.) The choices I could understand through the language barrier were roast pig, roast pork and roast duck. I had the pig, which was sliced from a whole carcass, like Cuban lechon. It was tasty and moist with just a hint of 5 spice (I guess the roast pork would be heavier on that), and the skin was thin, crisp and not too chewy. The portion was good, over plenty of rice moistened with roast juices. There was also some boiled cabbage, no more interesting than it is in an Irish pub. At $ 4.50, not a bad lunch.

Not anything fancy but the food here is legit and cheap. Get the mini pork buns and roast pork. They pretty much have everything including dim sum. If you’re adventurous, try the steamed taro dumplings.

Ive been here two times because its right by train station. first time i got some dim sum and it was pretty good. However second time, i decided to get milk tea and it was a baddddd idea. the milk tasted a bit sour/​weird.
so yea get dim sum but beware of the coffee/​tea

Many people associate a dim sum meal as a grand gathering of friends on the weekend in a massive dining room involving carts of food weaving through the tables to offer their delicacies. Dim sum is really whatever you want to make of it though, as Chen Won and countless other small places prove.
Eating here in the morning, on a weekday or weekend, is probably the equivalent of taking your meal in a small, sleepy provincial town rather than the big city. It is a much more relaxed and friendly experience, even if some of the items are a bit less delicious and/​or fresh.
The steamed rice roll with shrimp ($ 2.25) and steamed shrimp dumplings ($ 2.25) are both passable like their brethren in the big halls. As a lady came in and handed the owner $ 260 for a large order of dim sum to take to an event she must have been organizing, we plopped these into our mouths to get started.
Usually one of my favorite items, the turnip cake ($ 2) was unusually unsavory, possibly because it was made yesterday or the day before. I have the impression that a few of the items here might suffer from this, so take a look at things before you open and dig in. They are definitely not going to be as fresh as the places cranking out hundreds of each everyday, like Pacificana in Sunset Park. The large steamed pork buns (not pictured) also seemed old.
All of that being said, one thing definitely knocked our socks off, and that was the tangyuan soup, which does not seem to exist on the menu but should definitely be asked for. This version had plenty of turnip to go with the glutinous rice flour balls and pork, and all combined to make a delicious warm counterpoint to the cold air outside.
There are only three four-​person tables here, so most people are coming in to grab some items to take home. We asked a kind gentlemen enjoying some tea if we could share with him, and he immediately gathered up his newspaper to make room and made sure we were happy with our meal and even started making suggestions. It was something that you definitely could not imagine happening in one of the crowded places in Manhattan’s Chinatown.
