New Cantonese Restaurant Opening On 86th Street & Bay 34th Street

A Cantonese restaurant is opening on 86th Street next week – and it’s shaping up to be quite the cozy eatery.

Tipster Soo Koon Lee sent us a few photos of Shun Deck Restaurant (2332 86th Street) coming together, replacing Jenny’s Flowers that had occupied the space before. Today we dropped by to meet the owners and find out what their plans were for the location.

Long-time restauranteur Peter Wong told us he teamed up with chef Karmon Chan to build a restaurant that served the food of his hometown in the Chinese province of Guangdong. Wong had previously owned and managed the popular Hong Kong City in Sheepshead Bay (3081 Emmons Avenue) as well as a Chinese restaurant in Bay Ridge. His latest venture, Shun Deck, will be open for business on Monday, December 8.

Despite being located in a hectic corner of 86th street near Bay 34th Street, Shun Deck boasts rustic brick walls, wood panelling, and warm lighting, lending the space a peaceful ambiance.

Chan says the restaurant will serve “home-style” Cantonese recipes from Guangdong, China. The menu will include items like fresh seafood and fish, casseroles and soups, as well as rice congee for lunch.

Welcome to the neighborhood Shun Deck, and good luck!
