Visit Wo Hop in Chinatown to get notoriously Americanized (but still delicious) "Chinese" food. Snap a photo while you're at it and add it to the basement photo wall.

Village Voice

The egg foo young--a gravied dome of eggs chock full of meat and veggies--is a standout dish, as is the chow fun . The thick, wide noodles are the perfect vehicle for soy and the wok's flavor. Read more

Fried dumplings are some of the best in Chinatown. I had the chow mei fon (curry rice noodles with shrimp and peppers ). It was delicious, and TONS of food.

Lynn Bednar-Rando

Wo Hop is the bomb have to hit up the basement...17 Mott...crispy chicken and crispy beef are the play and they make awesome egg rolls and hot and sour soup ...

JoNeZEE

Food is delicious, the fried dumplings are addictive, cant just have one. The shrimp mei fun is amazing too. Be patient the wait can be long but the payoff is worth it.

Chad Martin

Huge portions ! You will have lots of leftovers. Order stuff to share. These are combination plates so get your rice extra and it will feed the whole table.

Jacob Rosenberg

Old school Cantonese from before Americans knew better. Dumplings , egg rolls , fried rice , and amazing wonton soup are to die for. And from - not a healthy place but worth the trip downstairs .

Carly Levine

AMAZING, worth every $ (and it's redic cheap !). Huge portions . I love the crunchy noodles with duck sauce , pan fried noodles w/ chicken , honey crispy chicken , & broad noodles ! But everything is great!

Sirus Orndoff

Great Chinese food order your favorite dish u won't be disappointed. Cash only . Make sure you are heading to the one downstairs from the street/sidewalk.

Mark Minervini

Open til 5 a.m. Steamed dumplings are amazing, pork fried rice , wonton egg drop soup , shrimp w/lobster sauce, are some simple dishes I like but I've never been disappointed in anything I ordered here

Village Voice

Located down a narrow red staircase at the end of Mott Street, Wo Hop has served all-hours Cantonese fare since 1938 and is one of the city 's great pilgrimage sites for late-night revelers. Read more

Jess Naldo

Regularly awesome NYC late dining/drunk munchies experience. Dumplings , chow fun , and salt & pepper pork are all regular winners. Birthday? They'll bring out pineapple rings, candles and yes, a song!

Afi Yellow-Duke

Head down the basement for a no-frills, delicious experience. Huge portions that are unlike anything else you're used to. It's open late too, so come with the drunchies.

CITY GRIT

Wo Hop can’t hold a candle to our list of spots in Queens. But it’s a favorite late night spot among chefs for noodles and dumplings after a long shift! (Cash only )

Marina

Late night spot . Alway order from the OVER RICE menu. Should only be $7. I always substitute the white rice for fried rice for extra $2. Shrimp with egg sauce over shrimp fried rice . Mmmmm

Serious Eats

One of the few restaurants in Chinatown that's open late , and one of the oldest in the neighborhood to boot. Mostly greasy Americanized fare , but classic nonetheless.

DJ RaiZe

Wo-Hop upstairs has the best fried dumplings . You can make food combinations up and they will make it for you. Try beef with egg sauce over chinese sausage fried rice or add a fried egg to a dish.

Kenosha Walker

This place is really good. You walk under to get in but it's sooooo good! Authentic chinese food and you'll definitely leave happy. Make sure you have a healthy appetite.

DailyCandy

"You may end up waiting in line , but the subterranean Chinatown hang’s dirt-cheap dishes are worth it. Tips: Take cash, expect gargantuan portion sizes, and leave upscale dining notions at the door."

Katia Z

The best Chinese restaurant in NY. Downstairs Wo Hop! Used to take a cab all the way from Upper Westside just to order those fried dumplings and BBQ spare ribs . ❤️

Graphic Agency

Best t-shirts. Also great to end a long night on the town with authentic chinese food . Don't worry if the waiters point and laugh at you while you eat. It's (probably) not the food.

James

I've been coming here for 24 years. Always great food, even though the demeanor here is always no smiles. But I'm not here for smiles, and the food is always worth it.

Zach Mines

EVERYTHING. Been hopping to the wo hop since I was born! My mom went into labor with my little brother on our way into Wo Hop! Everytime we are in NY we make sure to go! WO HOP Forever!

Tom Meng

Great spot to hit up after a long night of drinking. The salt and pepper fried squid with white rice is on point. 👌👌👌

deenuhfoowad

a long wait . avoid dinner times! however, so worth it. the salt and pepper chicken is to die for. the soft shell crab IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER TASTED.

Julie Soscia

This place is BYOB ! Hole in the wall authentic Chinese. It's perfect for late night and the fried dumplings are really tasty.

Jecee Medeiros

If you want the full NY experience, this is it. Located in underground Chinatown Wo Hop won't disappoint withe their egg rolls the size of California burritos and shrimp in lobster sauce .

Sanja Delcev

The downstairs one is almost always crowded , but I think it's worth it. The food is good, and pretty cheap . Plus, they'll give you a bunch of Fortune cookies ! :)

Sephaie Tsang

Always gotta order the seafood in this place, else it's not the better bang for the buck! Escargot , clams , lobster , minced beef with crabs are their specialty! #GenuineChineseDishes

King W

Must haves at Wo Hop's, snails,flounder cubes and pickled cabbage with squid . Do you know that Wo Hop's upstairs is the only place that use fresh squid ! maybe in the whole of NYC.

Alex Robertson

the sesame chicken is a sort of change of pace from many others', and I think a pleasant one. The place is just fun to be in.

Chris Sealy

This spot is amazing. They serve quickly and it's pretty cheap . Parking is a pain in the ass, but , otherwise, it's a great place.

Simon Tschinkel

This is the institution in Chinatown where people, who really don't care about quality, go to satisfy their late night craving for Chinese food . It's the White Castle of Asian food .

Alex L

Wo Hop is an iconic Chinatown institution that’s been there for years and hasn’t changed a bit. Worth a visit but be prepared to wait.

Agustín Borrazás

The best Chinese food you could ever ask!

Bill Murphy

That's right go down the fuckin stairs moron! Who goes upstairs? I'll tell you: Assholes! Closed on Chinese New Year for a few weeks & occasionally around 5am to clean up. Go with friends, share food

Kimmie Ohh

Wo Hop is a hole in the wall/hidden gem for authentic Chinese food . Portions are huge!

Foxxy B

Pretty standard—wouldn't wait more than 15 min. Tiny place & it gets packed around 7. Dishes under the "spicy " section literally have little to no spice. Plates are large.

Kirsten Power

I recommend their roast duck dishes .

Oleg Istomin

in terms of Chinatown-people friendly . Very convenient location for children and to visit with the whole family. Near the Brooklyn Bridge-exotic indeed

Dee Phunk

Perfect late night eatery if you're trying to soak up all the alcohol you consumed in the hours prior. Authentic , greasy Chinese food . Gotta love it. I have a thing for the chicken egg foo young.

Gregory Zeigerson

Downstairs is better. If you have a head shot, they'll add it to hundreds already on the wall, some even famous. But the atmosphere is not why you go to Wo Hop. It's the great food & late night hours

Find. Eat. Drink.

Eat classic Cantonese food and leave as the sun rises. Chef King Phojanakong (Kuma Inn , Uni Nom): “Favorite for late night . It’s downstairs on Mott Street.”

Fazeela Mohammed

Perfect meal for 4 under 40$: pork fried rice , fried wontons , roast duck , Singapore chow mei fun. Your welcome.

Lindsey Frances

Classic Americanized greasy spoon full of delicious late night grub, It's a place full of characters.

The Corcoran Group

A NYC tradition since 1938 and always full of characters day or night, we recommend the delicious duck lo mein or anything from the 'oriental specialities' menu

Eddie

It was a hole before renovations and it's still a hole after. But the food is great and even better after-hours...

Gothamist

Make sure you get a table downstairs , and be prepared to wait even late into the night; the restaurant is tiny, and its refusal to shut its doors makes it a prime destination for LES night-dwellers. Read more

Ryan Eick

Had a pretty good pork chow fun . A lot of people are obsessed with Wo Hop, and I gotta say it was quite good, but I wasn't blown away

Jenn Allen

Fried dumplings , pork fried rice , shrimp and broccoli . Pieces are great and family sized portions
