Happy Year of the Fire Horse 2026!! Neil Diamond's song, "Coming to America", is playing in my head as I write this review. The year was 1970. I had just turned 2 when we came to the U.S. from Hong Kong on one of the coldest February days. My mom always tells the story of how we landed at JFK with 2 feet of snow up to her knees. My beloved grandfather had settled in America 4 decades earlier before we arrived. Living in the outskirts of Chinatown has helped me not lose sight of where I came from. NYC's Chinatown spans roughly 50 blocks compare to SF's 30 square blocks. The city is one of the most expensive places to live in, but Chinatown offers tons of cheap eats. One can get an authentic delicious meal for under $10. I definitely miss some of the OG places when I was a kid like the old movie theaters and the bahn mi place ($2.50 a sandwich) under the subway tracks on East Broadway but it is cool to see new trendy places popping up. Here is my list of must visits: - Chinatown Ice Cream Factory (Asian-inspired flavors) - Hop Kee Restaurant (Authentic Cantonese food) - Joe's Shanghai (best dumplings) - Mei Lai Wah (best bbq roast pork & pineapple buns) - Peking Duck House (OG) - Spongies Cafe (my new favorite spot) - Xi'an Famous Foods - Wah Fung No. 1 (fresh roast pork and duck meats over rice) - Wo Hop (Authentic Hong Kong Cuisine) And the list goes on... I have visited many Chinatowns around the world, I might be a bit bias but I think we have one of the best one hands down. Come on down and see the best CNY Lion Dances (they train rigorously throughout the year) performed by the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club aka Hung Ching. My BIL has been a part of this club for decades. It was founded in 1956, making it 70 years old this year. read more

Excellent shopping and delicious Chinese cuisine can be had in Chinatown. Nice souvenirs can be had for much more affordable price. Located right next to Soho, Chinatown is an excellent place to come if visiting New York. There's another Chinatown in Brooklyn which I heard is even cheaper than this which I find to be kind of ridiculous. Five stars and two thumbs up. read more

Chinatown is one of my favorite places to visit. My favorite Aunt was half Chinese and half Irish! My uncle would take us all to Chinatown for the day when we lived in Connecticut. If you see my photos I last visited September 2025! I make it a point when I go to the Feast of San Gennaro. I'm going to adhere as best I can to the positivity of the Lunar New Year. I plan to get back to Chinatown again in 2026! I'm extremely happy and exuberant as I look forward to 2026. And I'm very excited to be recommending Chinatown to Yelpers everywhere! read more

Many describe New York City as a melting pot, though if you dive deeper into the fabrication of the neighborhoods, you'll notice it's really broken out into a multitude of ethnic enclaves. These provide peoples fitting into these groups a sense of belonging from shared backgrounds and often cultural and economic resources they may not be able to find elsewhere. Many people stick to their own roots and rarely venture out, however NYC is still a place where you have the opportunity (whether coerced due to population density or out of pure curiosity) to more readily see and experience cultures other than your own, which is a beautiful thing. Chinatown in Manhattan is one of those ethnic communities. While there are not clearly defined boundaries, for example the northern part of Chinatown technically overlaps with little Italy, the historic central portion of Chinatown is bounded by Chatham Square/Bowery, and the streets of Worth, Baxter, and Canal. This area was settled by the Chinese starting in the mid 1800s, when a wave of immigrants arrived during the peak of the California gold rush. From then, the cultural makeup of Chinatown has been in constant flux, both from A) a socio-economic development perspective--with early tongs arising for community, business, social and criminal reasons--then Five Points neighborhood in the mid 20th century (now integrated into Chinatown) being one of the most dangerous places in Manhattan, to the current mix of high and low-rise commercial and residential buildings, and B) from an ethnic standpoint, with different waves of immigrants thru the decades heralding from various parts of China and the Chinese diaspora. Nowadays Chinatown is probably best known for 1) food - all sorts of mostly Asian food and drink, via cafes, restaurants, groceries, bar/lounges, bakeries, food courts, 2) lots of touristy souvenir shops, 3) being the highest density Chinese community outside of China, though not necessarily the largest, 4) festive annual Chinese New Year celebrations, 5) more food, 6) cultural activities like the Museum of Chinese in America and NY Chinese Cultural Center, just to name a couple. Though not the oldest Chinatown in the USA (that honor belongs to San Francisco) and not necessarily the newest face of Chinatown in NYC (that's more like Flushing or Elmhurst) there's a grittiness about Manhattan's Chinatown that to me screams "if I can grind it out here then I can grind it anywhere." In the compounded stresses of tight quarters, aside from gastronomical delights you can find pieces of old and new traditions*, a varied collection of residents, and a spirit of resilience that keeps Chinatown moving forward. *from taichi and Chinese wei-chi and mahjong in Columbus Park, a number of Buddhist temples scattered throughout Chinatown, to hip hop dance practice and basketball tournaments held in Sara D. Roosevelt Park, any type of classes ranging from computer skills, badminton, ballroom dancing and self defense held at one of a few community centers. read more

Depending upon where I lived -- I moved around a lot -- I'd get off the subway at Grand Street, Canal Street or somewhere downtown on the Second Avenue bus. It was a special treat as a child when my family drove to Chinatown from Sheepshead Bay. My friends and I would often go for late night pick-me-ups at Wo Hop when tables were communal and the food was cheap and delicious. It was the first place I tried black bean sauce. I was turned on to dim sum at Nom Wah with the tab calculated by the shape of the plates we chose from the cart. Always cash only. We even went to Chinatown on class trips; kids marveled over dancing chickens, a particularly cruel "exhibit" of birds prodded with electric currents. The bonus of serving on jury duty was the proximity to Chinatown, with lunch the highlight of doing one's civic duty. Time marches on, Chinatown has evolved, though still maintaining the same basic flavor from decades past. I'm no longer loyal to a particular restaurant. I rely on Yelpers whose tastes appear to align with mine. So keep Yelping. Keep recommending. Somebody -- like me! -- is taking note of your suggestions. read more

I love the hustle and bustle that is Chinatown New York! The food choices here are all so good from the freshly baked goods to the handmade noodle restaurants. Lots of fresh groceries and produce to buy as well. It is also a very quick ride on the subway from the Manhattan area.

Vibrant Chinatown is a densely populated neighborhood that draws foodies and tourists to its many Chinese and Southeast Asian restaurants for dumplings, pork buns, and hand-pulled noodles. The busy sidewalks are packed with souvenir stores, bubble tea shops, and markets selling everything from fresh and dried fish to herbs and spices. Manhattan Chinatown is one of nine Chinatown neighborhoods in New York City and one of 12 in the New York metropolitan area. read more

I think the visit to Chinatown here is worth the trip for authentic and affordable food, tea, grocery, and snacks.

Quick update, there's been a few moves of restaurants in the last few years, from Jing Fong (from the giant shop above Elizabeth to the modest one at Centre St), Wonton Noodle (off to Pell), and more, but the heart of Chinatown is still there - street vendors, negotiations and a bunch of people selling the knock-offs. Pell St was closed for part of the time now to put seating in the streets, and while some areas still could use a freshening and cleanup, others weren't too bad. There are some areas that have definitely lost a lot of small shops, but new ones like the Taiwanese Bear House and others have come to try their hand. read more

I love the Chinatown in New York, it's always busy, lively and you hear people talking about everything and anything....LOL... Manhattan's Chinatown is an area bordering the Lower East Side to its east, Little Italy to its north, Civic Center to its south, and Tribeca to its west. With an estimated population of 90,000 to 100,000 people, Chinatown is home to one of the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere. Manhattan's Chinatown is also one of the oldest Chinese ethnic enclaves. The Manhattan Chinatown is one of nine Chinatown neighborhoods in New York City, as well as one of twelve in the New York metropolitan area, which contains the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, comprising an estimated 900,000+ uniracial individuals. Historically, Chinatown was primarily populated by Cantonese speakers. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, large numbers of Fuzhounese-speaking immigrants also arrived and formed a sub-neighborhood annexed to the eastern portion of Chinatown east of The Bowery, which has become known as Little Fuzhou subdivided away from the primarily Cantonese populated original longtime established Chinatown of Manhattan. Although now overtaken in size by the rapidly growing Flushing Chinatown (located in the New York City borough of Queens) and Brooklyn Chinatown, the Manhattan Chinatown remains a dominant cultural force for the Chinese diaspora, as home to the Museum of Chinese in America and as the headquarters of numerous publications based both in the U.S. and China that are geared to overseas Chinese. Since I speak Cantonese, I feel at home when I am in this Chinatown. I shop, eat and order all in Cantonese, which sometimes is an advantage, sometimes it's not....if the shop keeper or the waiter is not in a good mood, knowing they are dealing with one of their own, makes them free to yell and/or be less than courteous.....LOL. Still a great experience. Here you can enjoy some great noodles, rices, dim sum, bakery goods, etc.... Excellent food everywhere ! read more

While in New York City, Chinatown is a must visit area as the Manhattan Chinatown. In the 1800s Chinatown was established as an area for refugee for survival. To this day this area has the highest Chinese population and the largest Chinatown in the US -- or so I am told by the locals. My friend and I had a great time exploring the NY Chinatown area, minus a few stinky polluted spots, but it has some of the tastiest Chinese food, desserts, and affordable souvenirs. I also hear it is wonderfully festive during the Asian holidays like Lunar New Years. I appreciate the cultural aspects lingering on for the Asian American population. While I was in New York we were able to grab lunch, get desserts, and browse around. They have lovely lanterns hanging on the street; great for photos. I would recommend stopping by if you are in the area. read more

I have so many memories of Chinatown dating back to my childhood and that's a long time ago. My parents often brought us here for our adventures enjoying Chinese cuisine at various restaurants. My Dad especially enjoyed dim sum, and introduced his little girls to the etiquette of chop stix. Later, I secured a fantastic gig in downtown Manhattan, thus I would walk daily through Chinatown on my way home. The most jarring vision was during Covid shutdown, where I witnessed for the first time a Chinatown completely deserted. Where were all of the people in the place most often bustling with life every day of the week?! Here, I have posted my photos taken as we drove through, April 2020 when the entire city was on lockdown. Now, year 2022, we are back in the streets again to celebrate the Lunar New Year of the Tiger 2022!! I am thrilled. Gong hei fat choy ! Chúc num yam moi !

Chinatown was definitely my favorite part of NYC on my short trip. It's expectedly full of cheap souvenir shops and the usual NYC business, but there are also lots of worthwhile small businesses from dumpling shops to tea shops to book stores. There are lanterns adorning each street and kind elderly stall keepers selling cheap, fresh fruit and $1 bottles of water on street corners. There are streets completely closed off to cars, full of public seating for a number of cafes and restaurants. The parks are clean and calm. read more

NYC Chinatown is huge. Definitely way bigger than the one back home in Vancouver BC. On top of that this Chinatown does remind me of Asia. The atmosphere is so vivid. All or almost all the stores here except the Broadway East Mall are all open for business. Some vendors have their goods all the way to the side walk and some vendors even sells on the streets near or under Manhattan Bridge. It is a very interesting scene. I have no clue on some of the stuff that the vendors are selling but hey guess what, it was an interesting experience where I got to take pictures to show to my friends. One strange thing I saw was some vendors would place dead fish on the street for sale. This one I found a bit weird. Hey maybe that is just another casual day. Just because I am not used to seeing this back home doesn't mean its not normal, right? It was fun for H and I to walk in NYC Chinatown. The vibe is very different back home. I felt very safe walking here during the day time. Unlike, Vancouver BC Canada Chinatown. It is so nice that NYC to have an operating Chinatown with culture and a great tourist hot spot. If you get a chance and come to Vancouver BC, Canada Chinatown you will be shocked to see the difference. Back home in Vancouver Canada, the Chinatown and Hasting East is so run down that it is shocking and unbelievable. That is why I think this place deserves a 5 stars. Yes back home Chinatown in Vancouver Canada is 1 star. I avoid the one back home at all cost. read more

Chinatown in New York is a magical place. We try to get here at least once during most of our visits. We got here twice this trip, although the first was accidental. We signed up for a tour, got to the meeting point, and realized we were a day early... So, we walked around for a few minutes before we went to our next destination. This review covers both days. We walked through Chinatown, up and down streets, stopping in shops and stores. One thing about Chinatown is you can always find a bargain. And there are some magnificent shops selling jade and porcelain, antiques, electronics, and lots of eastern herbal medication shops. We finally found a place to eat (in another review). There are lots and lots of restaurants in Chinatown. These range from holes-in-the-wall to elegant, and some feature all types of regional Chinese cuisines. Then, we went on a tour led by the MSG Girls. We saw them interviewed on TV, and they gave tours to talk about how the Chinese population first arrived in the US and the troubles they faced, including terrible bigotry. One of the "weapons" used was misclassifying Chinese food using this terrible spice MSG. MSG giving you severe headaches and other problems was disproved by science years ago. Food wasn't just the issue - separating them from family, living in inhospitable conditions, gangs, and much more. While this has improved over the years, racism is still out there. Whether you tour or walk around, Chinatown is one of the most intriguing parts of New York. It's a must-see for any visitors. read more

We loved walking the streets of china town! Very picturesque, however, if poverty makes you uncomfy, might want to skip.

No adjective, hyperbole, or fancy prose can encapsulate the Chinatown I know. Cacophonous, chaotic, oddly smelling at times, rude, and with people sometimes packed like sardines. There's also my Chinese aunties trying to hustle you for their latest Gucci bags or Rolex Submariners - recommend at least experiencing it once, but no guarantee the products they sell are real. But within this there's something truly endearing about the neighborhood - the mom and pop general store, the uncles and aunties bargaining their children for marriage over a public game of Chinese chess or mahjong, the grandma on the corner selling zongzi, the fish stalls selling fresh seafood, to the various restaurants showcasing all sorts of amazing Asian foods at the fraction of the cost of restaurants in nearby neighborhoods (oh yes totally throwing shade at you Little Italy). This place feels like home. *P.S. Congrats to Jacky C.'s review #1000 for Chinatown! read more

It's so funny how different political parties impact certain areas. I grew up in Brooklyn and from 12yrs old my cousin and I would jump on the train (without telling our parents) and spend the day on Canal st. When a republican mayor (Giuliani) was in office all the "fun stuff" got cleaned up. You couldn't find fireworks, counterfeit watches, bags etc unless u knew someone who had a connection, the streets were actually clean as well. Now with a Democratic Mayor the streets are filthy and you can't walk 10' without seeing someone selling a fake LV, Gucci etc. so 35yrs later despite "crime" being up, I find a charm in China Town which brings me back to my youth. As far as recommendations for tourists, BE CAREFUL!! You will be stalked like a lion stalks a gazelle. Pick-pockets are out in full force In addition to ppl trying to sell you crap. Don't walk with your head buried in your phone. Keep your head up, stay aware of your surroundings and walk like you've lived in the area your whole life. Enjoy your time. There's lots of amazing food and shopping at your fingertips. read more

新年快乐！2019 is my 本命年 oink oink It has been a while since I checked out Chinatown's Lunar New Year Parade. I think my last one was when I saw Singer Jason Chen (https://www.instagram.com/jasondchen/) on a float. I was a bit disappointed with the parade last weekend in Flushing so I am getting a second round today. Holy moly, when I got there at 1 pm...the sidewalk was crowded with people. I was smart to keep walking towards the back streets of Chinatown which I found a great spot to take my pictures and videos on Mott St. I applaud you, the Chinatown Partnership Local Development Corporation (CPLDC)! Wow, you guys did such an amazing job with this year's Piggy New Year parade. The experience was so exciting and entertaining. I love the confetti fallen from the beautiful and sunny sky. I definitely saw so many piggies throughout the parade from balloons to volunteers in these super duper adorable piggy costumes...one of them was wearing rollerblades =) I love the lion dances and dragons especially the blue dragon putting on an awesome performance for the crowd. read more

So if you feel saddened or down I know just what will erase your frown We'll both strip down naked Steal a car, and take it Out joyriding in Chinatown. I prefer the one in Virginia... VA-China-town, but I can't review that on Yelp so we'll do this instead. The more I visit Chinatown Manhattan New York City, the more I love it. Flushing is still my favourite and always will be, its authenticity and Asian-ness is unmatchable and unrivaled. However I was wrong about C-town Manhattan. Yes it has many more touristy elements than Flushing, for obvi reasons... but there's a lot of gems in Chinatown Manhattan and now with a lot of the trendy Boba spots opening up and some great dessert spots I find myself coming around here a hell of a lot more often than I used to. So I'm definitely a big fan I'll definitely be back here on a regular basis in future. The highlights: Alimama (the best Mochi donuts you can imagine) Tasty Dumpling (dumplings suck but omg the pork and chive pancake!) Moge Tea (creme brulee milk tea) Kam Hing (adorable little bakery) Boba Guys on Canal inside the market Teado which is big in Boston too Mee Cafe for cheap Boba and nice people Xi'an for the N1, the best meal I've had maybe ever Cheeky Sandwiches for the best Chicken Biscuit on earth Spicy Village yumm - some of the best dumplings in town The Bao Shoppe - delicious as always Banh Mi Saigon - some of the very best in town Prince St Pizza - to switch it up Here is my old review from before I knew stuff. I don't necessarily give Chinatown 5-stars for the food. On the contrary, a lot of it is now overrated and fake Americanized versions of Chinese food. It's actually overpriced too, although it wasn't always. The "real" stuff is, among other locations, to be found out in Flushing (Queens) which is one of my fave areas anywhere. Hop Kee, though, is one little gem (that serves both real stuff and Americanized stuff), that I would recommend trying. Nearby Lam Zhou and Super Taste are excellent handpull noodle places with dirt cheap rock bottom prices, and they're over on the edge of Chinatown. The Bubble Tea in these parts, also, is not as enjoyable as some of the spots over in Flushing. They do have some of the big chains and a few smaller spots. On the other hand, if you're looking for dessert, you won't go wrong with Ten Below, although you may go wrong with the crazy long lines that can take hours. The Queens location has much shorter lines. What I will give 5 stars for, though, is the atmosphere and the feeling of wandering around, with all the signs in Chinese, and the majority of the people Asian, and really getting the feel of the neighborhood. As well as the obligatory Bubble Teas, you can grab Egg Waffles from street carts, and get some of the loveliest and fluffiest infinity scarves you'll find anywhere. I bought several from here on several trips because they're so cozy and always under $10. The tourist shops are goldmines for special deals, to the point that I have friends who come to Chinatown just for their special deals. One thing I am certain of, is that it's more exciting that the largest city in Saskatchewan. Without doubt, you're better off in Chinatown than Reginatown. read more

I love visiting New York's old Chinatown and exploring the side streets and checking out the shops. You wouldn't believe the number of Foo Dog and Dragons I have purchase down here. But each year it seems smaller and smaller and the city doesn't seem to do anything about trying to maintain it as a historic district and try and keep the charm but instead lets gentrification and retail market forces decide it's future. Stay away from buying the fake designer bags and watches or thinly plated 24-carat gold. what around a bit and check out the food all you just need to to look at Yelp to find good places to eat, read more
