M Star Cafe New York

I’ve known @Lucas.Sin for almost a decade, and it’s been really special watching his journey over the years.

From cooking at a fast casual spot in Greenwich Village to introducing Cantonese cuisine to a much wider audience on YouTube, it’s been exciting to watch him continue to grow while staying true to the food and stories that inspire him. His latest project, @lokkee.nyc .nyc, is a Cha Chaan Teng pop-up currently taking over M Star in Manhattan’s Chinatown.

For anyone unfamiliar, Cha Chaan Tengs are Hong Kong-style cafés that blend Chinese and Western influences into comforting, everyday dishes. There’s something nostalgic about the experience, and it was a fun way to spend an evening in Chinatown.

Congratulations, Lucas, on another exciting chapter. If you’re curious about Hong Kong café culture, Lokkee is running as a limited-time pop-up in Chinatown.
