Food: I ordered a pickup order of 3 meats over rice (char siu, crispy pork belly, soy sauce chicken) and brought it back to eat. It only cost about $13 and it was a hefty portion! Over a bed of white rice and lightly boiled cabbage, each and every BBQ meat was delectable and homey. I asked for the scallion ginger sauce and the signature sauce to pour on top which I highly recommend. The soy sauce chicken was moist and had its signature sweet glazed, dark coating. The pork belly was just the right amount of fatty and toothsome with that great crispy skin. The char siu was pretty standard but that's not a bad thing. Overall, one of my favorite rice platters in Chinatown. Service: Fresh and fast! The meat is chopped right as you get to the shop. Ambiance: Dark colored and minimalist with hanging glossy pieces of meat strewn along the window and counter. Very clean, small eating area. read more

Bring cash! Can't miss the big duck statue out front! I grew up on $20 whole roast duck in LA and missed the nostalgic flavors. A whole roast duck here is $38 and half a duck is $19 so it's definitely more expensive, but that's NYC pricing and inflation for you. My half duck's flavors are correct and authentic, and the other dishes on the menu are delicious as well. Hits the spot and service is very fast and attentive. I'd still come back when I want some authentic roast duck! read more

We were excited to check out Hay Hay Roasted, as one of our friends highly recommended this place for their roasted meats, especially for their duck. We had the Roasted Duck over rice, served with a side of steamed cabbage; the duck was just not fully rendered, so it was super fatty. The flavors were also not pronounced, so I could see why others had to ask for additional 'sauces' to dip the meat in. Also, it didn't seem if they cleaned the duck properly, because there were just random black streaks and marks on the skin and meat ( and, definitely not from any 'charring'). Rice could have been prepared better (I never understood how it is possible for Asians to not be able to cook rice correctly!). They only have a limited counter seating, but most seem to take their orders to-go. No dice. +ill-prepared duck +mushy rice +limited seating read more

This was my first time here and I had a good experience. My favorite was the Hay Hay rice. The flavor was so good. Rice was cooked well. And it had plenty of roast pork. I also tried the crispy chicken and roast pork. Both of these were great too. It was very busy as it was dinner time but we received our food fairy quick. The restaurant is small with very little seating but I didn't expect to sit down. We took out food to go. Next time I am in NY I will visit again and try something new. read more

My sister lives nearby and loves this place. Popped in to grab some lunch and they were so busy. We got the two option combo- scallion oil chicken and char sieu. My favorite part of this was the cabbage! Crunchy, soft and so flavorful. The chicken was moist and had a nice taste, the char sieu wasn't too fatty. read more

The $11 Roasted Duck, White Rice and Napa Cabbage Combo is the best meal deal I have had of late in The City. The Duck was fatty--yes--but it was tasty and tender. The White Rice was mildly sweet and nutty--making it one of the most flavorful rices that I have had in years! The Napa Cabbage was good, especially when I sprinkled some Pipa Duck Sauce over it. Thanks Jenny (my server) for giving me some Pipa Duck Sauce even though it is never served with the Roasted Duck Lunch Combo. You provided excellent customer service. I hope that your manager reads my review. There was no place in the eatery to eat on 7/4/26. It was understandably crowded inside, but my order came out in a jiffy. The interior is clean. Not one piece of litter was on the floor despite the heavy foot traffic. read more

If service were better I would have wanted to return. The duck is decent and juicy, but comes at a cost of $13 for a quarter of the duck (to-go). It took the cashiers at least five minutes to acknowledge me, and this is after they tried to get the person after me to order. I had to speak up and I heard one of the cashiers scolded the other in Cantonese to pay attention. I ordered in Cantonese and waited at least fifteen minutes, when the everyone else got their stuff. I had to complain loudly in English, and the cashiers all the sudden remembered it was my turn to get the pricey quarter bird. I'm really not liking this differentiated service standard. read more

Decided to check out Hay Hay Roasted since I was looking for an alternative to Wah Fung and wanted to skip the ridiculous line. Just a heads up that they're cash only. I ordered the roasted pork over rice, but they told me they only had the lean cut left, which was a little disappointing. I went with it anyway. The flavor was decent, but the meat ended up being pretty dry. I wish they poured some of the juice from the meat over the rice like wah fung does, it would've helped bring everything together and helped with the dryness for sure. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, and the prices were really reasonable but I still think Wah Fung does it better. Unfortunately did not live up to the hype for me. In terms of interior and seating, seating was extremely limited and seems intended for takeout mostly. So another con to that. read more

Five stars for the most delicious Peking duck! Everything about their dish was flavorful and unforgettable! It's no wonder this place is highly spoken of, especially part of the Chinatown food crawl. You do not want to miss this place on your list of restaurant. The lines can be out the door they move rather quickly. Staff is incredibly friendly and this is a smaller sized restaurant with very minimal seating. read more

Hay Hay is my friend's go-to Cantonese bbq spot and we were sold especially after he told us about the pipa duck and roast suckling pig. The space is pretty small and only seating available seemed like a few counter seats past the line of people waiting for their orders. It's cash only here, and prices are pretty good for the quality. I ordered 1lb charsiu, 1/2 soy sauce chicken, 1/2 pipa duck, and 1lb roast suckling pig. For the pig if you're early enough, you can choose bone in or boneless portion. The first time we got this, the charsiu was honestly kind of dry and not that great. The soy sauce chicken wasn't good at all and had a strong herbal, almost Chinese medicine taste to it. I figured I just didn't prefer it until my friend took some for his dad to try and his dad said it was off. Maybe someone went heavy handed with spices that day. Both the pig and the pipa duck were incredible, and both had crispy, delicious skin and tender meat. The pipa duck was half way to Peking, that's how crispy. Before flying home, we stopped by again for some charsiu and pig and the charsiu was much more tender and we loved it. I wouldn't call service here friendly but it's pretty good for an authentic Chinese spot lol. They're just very matter-of-fact. read more

5/27/2026 Honestly the reviews were mixed and I really wanted some roasted duck so I stopped in. Thank god they had ac bumping, ducks hanging in the window and cool drinks in a cooler. Ordering was easy but for $19 I figured I get some rice with the meal. The duck was barely warm( also read in previous reviews) and soooo greasy, the dipping sauce really didn't do much for me but it gave a little something. The staff were friendly and fast. Bathroom rating:5/5 read more

The wood ear mushroom and carrot radish side dishes were my favorite! They're seasoned perfectly and have a great chew to it. I like how you have the option to pick between skinny, fat, or a mix of both for meats. The skin on the duck and pork are very good. I like the ginger scallion oil it comes with, and the rice texture was also good. Everything is reasonable priced too, and just make sure to bring cash. read more

Hay Hay Roasted - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

This Chinese deli spot was recommended by our friend, who grew up in NY Chinatown. They recommended this, or Wah Fung No 1, and we chose this one as it was opened the day we were there. It was quite fun to come here on Lunar New Year Eve, where it seemed there were more ducks and porks hanging in the back, and also there were many, many to-go orders ready to go for the new year!!! Exciting. We got the 2-item combo over rice, choosing the honey pork, crispy skin pork, and selecting the half fat, half lean option. The meat is chopped up fresh in front of you. This place is cash only. The rice comes out steaming, the crispy pork was delicious. Great meat flavor and saltiness to it. The BBQ honey pork was good too, although a little too lean for my taste. Maybe next time I'll ask for full fat. The rice plate also came with cabbage, which made me feel a little better about ordering this. Being that I live in SF, I think this Hay Hay Roasted was good, but also we can get similar restaurants in SF. I would recommend it for someone who lives in an area where you don't have access to good Chinese deli food though. read more

This place was recommended by a lot of people off IG. Glad we were able to try! Was able to walk in to no line and find seating for 4. We also got to cool down cuz it was hot day! We ordered the roast pork, roast duck, bbq pork plates and udon noodle. Everything was delicious. The roast pork was perfectly cooked. The bbq was one of the best we've had. The duck tho, not a lot of meat but flavor was there. Udon noodles a good too. Prices were great for the amount of food given. Def give this place a try when visiting Chinatown read more

This Chinese deli/restaurant is a good spot for grab-and-go meals. While there is some bar seating in the back, it's a pretty tight squeeze and not ideal for big groups. Service is a bit slow but it's not the end of the world. I got their three meats combo with ginger scallion chicken, BBQ pork, and duck. All of the meat was so juicy and delicious. While I do think there are better spots in Chinatown, this is still pretty solid! read more

There is always a long line here because they have a life size duck outside to remember the place where you could get excellent hanging roast duck and crispy skin pork you can see.

For $10.25, you can get a rice bowl with cabbage, and a choice of chicken or pork ribs. It comes with scallion ginger sauce and soy sauce. My favorite is the scallion and ginger sauce that goes well with chicken. I always get the rice bowl with scallion chicken and it tastes amazing! That is the R101 item on the menu. The good thing about this place is there is there is a long table in the back of the restaurant with bar stools. The bar stool has a section where you can hang your purse so that's a plus. There is a bathroom at the end of the place. Ambience is very casual. You pay and take your order to eat at the table. The whole place is very tight and long. Sometimes it can get a bit crowded because everyone is standing next to each other waiting for their orders to be ready. read more

My coworker asked me if I wanted to check out a place to eat in Chinatown. She follows an instagrammer that recently did a food crawl in Chinatown. One of the places on the crawl was Hay Hay Roasted. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly employee who asked us what we wanted to order. She gave us menus and explained the combinations. We both decided to get the scallion chicken, pork and duck. For the pork, we got a mix of lean and fatty. We decided to dine in which can be tricky because it's small inside. It's a bar top and barstools setup. My favorite was the pork. I would come back. It's a cash only spot--luckily my coworker had cash on hand. read more

Grab & go spot. Been on my radar for a while but line always long. One time, after lunch rush, i happen to see that its almost empty so i decided to give it a try! Worth the hype. All the 3 meat i ordered were tender, crispy, juicy. The nice kid on the front gave me a choice of fatty or mix. Small seating inside, good for solo diner but not for groups. Looks clean & art work is interesting diversion while waiting for my food to get ready! Will come back read more

Taste test of this popular Hong Kong style BBQ spot in NYC Chinatown: Hay Hay Roasted serve roasted meat rice boxes starting at $10.25 (one topping), or you can grab a whole box of char siu for just $14. What I really liked is that you can customize your meat cut -- fatty (肥), lean (瘦), or half-and-half (半肥瘦) -- depending on your preference, just like how we do it in HK. Pro tip from a HK local: ask for ginger scallion sauce (薑蓉) to go with your rice. It makes everything taste even better! ＊Three Selection Rice Combo 三拼飯 $12.25 SO WORTH IT. The box was fully loaded with meat that you could barely even see the rice underneath! I went with char siu, scallion chicken (蔥油雞), and roasted duck (燒鴨). The chicken and duck were a bit bony, but you can always substitute them for leg if you prefer. The sweet baby napa on the side balanced out the greasiness of the meat. ＊Char Siu (Honey BBQ Pork) 蜜汁叉燒 $14/lb Decent price for the quantity! The char siu was well-marinated and flavorful even without any soy sauce. The seasoning was spot-on, not too sweet or salty. I asked for half-fatty, half-lean, and it had the perfect balance of both. I took the leftovers home and made char siu fried rice and slippery egg with char siu. ＊Crispy Skin Roasted Pork 燒肉 $14/lb It had a nice fat-to-meat ratio and crispy golden skin. It was too salty for my taste, but my friends all loved it. So I'd definitely recommend enjoying it with rice. ＊HK Style Milk Tea 港式奶茶 $5.5 - surprisingly authentic. ＊Lemon Ribena 檸檬利賓納 $5.25 - such a nostalgic drink! I haven't had it in so many years. read more

HEY HEY, HAY HAY! if it's one thing that I must get during a long weekend in New York, it's Cantonese roasted barbecue. I saw this place on Instagram and had a bookmark and was pleasantly surprised that it was at the very beginning of Mott Street so I didn't really have to venture far down. It's a small, very narrow shop where you order at the window, with only a few seats along the wall. (Note that it is cash only.) In addition to the typical roasted and crispy pork and roasted duck, I also saw sausages, ribs, and other cuts of meat (probably ears and offal). Since this was my first time trying this establishment, I kept it simple and got the roasted honey pork and roasted duck over rice, as well as an order of char sui (honey roasted pork) over lo mein. The lo mein was out of this world. Typically lo mein that I've had does not include egg, but this version had it was the perfect addition! I love a good egg worked into a stir-fried dish with a perfect amount of wok hei and their lo mein hot all of those points. I absolutely will be returning the next time I'm in the city. read more

Don't buy into the hype. Been around Chinatown for decades and I never came here and was never told to but their recent social media push got me curious. So the only thing I can really say is, their social media and marketing efforts are top tier. The food and service, not so much. There's no ambience as it's basically just meant for takeout. There's a counter in the back that you can stand at to eat but please don't. Service is disappointingly slow. Unnecessary delays with the roast meats led to a 15 minute wait. They renovated, got some nice bags and got some influencers to post about them but there's not much here. My roast pig is about par for the course. Skin is crispy and even the leaner cut that they had left wasn't dry, but it did lack some flavor. I'll give them credit for cutting holes in the plastic box so the skin wouldn't steam and get soggy but it wasn't hot enough to need it. It also looked nothing like the curated social media post, ending up tossed around and unorganized. Cuttlefish was also about par, tender but seriously lacking in flavor. There are plenty of other places for better roast meats without the wait and the guilt of being borderline scammed by social media. Choose accordingly. read more

Hay Hay Roasted - Roasted Duck and pork - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

All things considered, probably the best siu mei spot in Chinatown. It's a tiny narrow shop that's cash only but the average quality of their meats is second-to-none, and they're super accommodating with customizing the cut you want (fatty vs. lean). Hay Hay also offers several siu mei options like pipa duck, cuttlefish, and suckling pig that most of other shops don't. The rest of their non-siu mei menu is consistently solid as well - I'm partial to the cold (liang ban) sliced pork trotters. read more

They're all flavorful, tasting exactly as expected, and filling. I get why people like this place so much. read more

Hay Hay Roasted - R103 Three Selection over White Rice / - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

Decent option for Cantonese style roast meats in the heart of Chinatown near the corner of Canal Street and Mott Street. I have been here for mostly takeout, therefore I will skip discussing the dining experience. The quality of the meats is generally good, but can be a bit dry at times. I do feel that their roast pork and duck also lack some flavor on my most recent visit. Having Big Wong and Ming Wong on the same block, and many others nearby, I don't find myself here very often. With that said, I wouldn't hesitate to come here for some toast meats if the other stores are busy. read more

Hay Hay Roasted - R104 Duck over White Rice Combo - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

I could smell this place as I was walking around the corner in the best way possible. I got a rice combo with scallion chicken, char siu, and roasted duck. I was happy to see it came with a variety of sauces and a small pile of steamed napa cabbage. I think I would have enjoyed this meal more if I'd taken it home or had a place to sit down and really dig in. I found the pieces of duck to be pretty stingy as it was mostly bone but it tasted good. The chicken was juicy, but the char siu was a little dry for my liking. Overall, pretty good but I'm not inclined to go back anytime soon. read more

A little shop selling roasted meats and other treats in a little downstairs shop - great roast pork with the crispy skin. The garlic chicken wings are ok, lots of garlic, but lacks additional flavor beyond that, almost missing a little sweetness and saltiness, maybe I will bring some salt/pepper next time to add. Honey lemon tea was good, they put a fresh lemon into the bag when we took out of the fridge. A/C was strong in the shop. Small counter to eat. We'll be back to try more meats. Cash only, though! read more

Definition of a tourist trap at its finest! Incredibly insulting to get order a two meat selection over rice and get the entire duck back with just skin and no meat. 4 pieces were just the skin entirely. The other 3 were still from the back with very little meat. Is it customary to get some of the back in an order? Sure thing, of course, I'm no newbie here! But when it's all back, there's a total breach of etiquette. That's a total, "kindly leave and don't come back sir". I eat out a lot and it's rare that I feel this way. The first time I dined here, it didn't stand out and I mistakenly got fooled by all the viral messaging they put out. Decided to give it a second try and got served this debacle. Definitely never going back. I should've known better than to trust all the self promotion. read more
