NOTE: This is separate from the review of their primary menu, and only applies to their Washington location, as it's the only one that's open at 9AM. (The Kearny location opens at 11AM with regular menu)
Breakfast in Chinatown can be a little tricky, as the earliest restaurants that open tends to be 9AM, and those are the tea restaurants serving Hong Kong style breakfast. I was a little surprised when I was looking for some breakfast Monday, realizing most of my favorite tea restaurants are closed on Mondays, then found that Hon's Wun-tun Washington location was open at 9AM for breakfast.
Walked in, found a seat, and found they have a distinct breakfast menu, with 6 "combos" that comes with a main breakfast item, a drink (soy milk, coffee, or milk tea, depending on combo), and some combinations comes with a tea egg. The main breakfast items are congee with Chinese donut (yo-tiao), wonton noodles, beef noodles, rice noodle sheets (i.e. cheung fun). If you don't like their combos, you can always order a la carte from the rest of the menu.
Tried congee, cheung fun, and wonton noodles combos. The noodles are a bit salty, but overall they are pretty tasty. Prices are tolerable, not really cheap. When you add tax and tip, it's still coming close to $20 each combo.
Maybe 4 out of 5.
