    A receipt for 2 people  One was $79 The other was $90

    Consultation $30 Medicine can be $8 per sachet and you might get prescribed 7-12 sachets depending on your condition so that can be $56 or $96 Total $86 to $126 Languages spoken: English, Cantonese, Mandarin The ladies downstairs at the front are not rude, but they are sharp & quick and you should be too. Must clarify what dialect you speak. Otherwise, it's default Mandarin You have to go upstairs for the doctor. It looks secluded once you get to the door to go up the stairs but it opens up to a big second floor office The actual doctor is thorough and patient does a holistic approach the first time. He wants to bring your immune system back up before tackling all in individual issues. He hand writes everything. I have yet to start my course of sachets so there will be a second review to follow

    Lin Sister has helped me with many things during my adult life- either personal or......work related. My husband has been coming here for the last 20+ years and introduced me to the wonders of natural, Chinese healing, medicine and what have you. And since then, I've been a loyal, Lin Sister customer. Service is straight to the point: go in, explain your ailment (or what your needs are) and someone will advise you. Within the scope of what you'd like, they suggest a number of things. They do all the mixing and packaging themselves. The times I've visited, either for a lingering cold or work related matters, they'd start me up with herbs to make tea, other times, have been easy-to-swallow tablets other times, tinctures- so it all depends. It does me good Taking this alternative path- just wish I could take advantage of it more often- if I lived any closer. Attention to detail is always there and have never left second-guessing their expertise or have never had any issues with their remedies. Price? Unbelievably reasonable! Really like the whole mind and body approach to traditional Chinese medicine I get here.

    Nice pictures to relax you.

That seems counter productive doesn't it? Well these guys have some stuff that are in the open, but most are either inside or packed and sealed in a bag if outside. The store inside is clean as well. The products I was looking for were hong zao (jujube aka Chinese dates) and gouqi (goji berries or wolf berries) in order to make black chicken soup. Both were properly packed and looked clean. I was happy with their products and so when my wife wanted chuan bei mu (Fritillaria extract) for a Chinese pear recipe, I went back to them for it. Sure enough they had them inside, sealed tightly in a glass jar. However, they were of the smaller kind. Buying herbs can be a daunting task for a non Chinese speaker... I mean the sheer thought of going home and cooking for my wife with the wrong herbs is enough to give me nightmares ... but they actually understood my Google Translate Chinese and helped me out big time. They seem a little more expensive than some of the other ones but surely the cleanliness is worth an extra few cents. What? Don't call you Shirley? Dude you need some Chinese herbs.

(translation in Bet) He Wrote me An own prescription. It started working after 5days finally. I decided to take another week again. It helps me well I think this herbs affects me slowly. I was told every person affects differently. There's a guideline: you can't use the metal pots to make the tea. it's better buy at the store - cost $30. It's Quite big and heavy. So you should bring a Carrier/cone with car. Mixed herb for 6days is also heavy. How to make herb - put one pack to the pot. fill out half water.( or bit extra) Wait till boiled- it takes about 20min. Then, small fire about 70min. Transfer to the Cup. Add another water (about 8oz) / small fire about 70min. You can take this morning and night. I'm happy to come back here again. It's not so cheap but it works. highly recommend.

The woman working there was helpful and mentioned they have a traditional Chinese medicine doctor available. For $20 he could do a consult on any concerns you want to target and prescribe herbs/teas as needed. Just call 20 min in advance and you can be seen for $20. She spoke good English and said she could be a translator if you come in to see the doctor. I'll have to try this sometime! Friendly staff.

It surrounds both entrances. Wow! Important to note - There is a warning sign in English and Chinese "Beware Pickpockets," so they likely have had a problem in store! Clearly, there is a selection of other Chinese-geared items that may be unique to Po Wing Hong also contributing to its popularity, such as to name a few: certain frozen seafood, zanthoxylum bungeanum seed oil, bird's nest (with or without rock sugar), Chinese New Year candy, plus a wall of health and beauty goods. They're just not for me - so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. For customers interested in these types of items, perhaps Po Wing Hong is a great place to shop. My interest was in specific condiments, which I found the widest selection at Hong Kong Supermarket around the corner and best pricing at New Kam Man on Canal. Given this experience and the olfactory challenges, it's unlikely that I'll reenter Po Wing Hong Food Market again.

Delivery in the Financial District was on time and accurate. Rice was absolutely fresh. My wife is Japanese and would not tolerate bad rice. This bag of rice was excellent. The 16 oz steak was fresh and high quality. The shrimp was also good quality, and arrived frozen solid, which is a good thing. I appreciate getting delivery during this terrible time of pandemic and I'm glad they are open. I realize how difficult it is for all Chinatown businesses at this time. I miss going to Chinatown almost every day to shop and eat. My favorite restaurant, Xing Wong, is closed. Wing Fung Hong is almost directly across the street from where my daughter attends (attended?) school at the Yung Wing School. I hope I can shop at Wing Fung Hong soon after the lockdown is over. * I'm sorry that I have to amend this review on May 9, 2020. I carefully wore mask, gloves and took all precautions, and went to buy food in Chinatown with my son. One of the first places I visited was Wing Fung Hong. I attempted to enter the store, but a man who was in his 50's or so blocked the door and said to me very rudely "What do you want?" and refused to let me enter the store. I am a white guy, my son is half-Asian. The store was full of Asian shoppers. I told him I didn't know what I wanted yet, I wanted to look to see what he had. He refused to let me enter the store. I'll chalk this up to fear and the stress of the COVID lockdown, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. (no pun intended)
