Come here early for the best selection. Sesame ball was extra chewy-- yum! Egg tart was generous and a bit oily but it was yum too! We especially like the Peking duck and bone-in roast pork. Pork belly is okay. read more

Good value and above average food. Today is a Chinese ancestor commentating day, Ching Ming. There was about 10 people in line at 09:07 am right after the opening @9. They are always busy during major holidays so get here early. The whole roasted duck is less than $27. Flavor is adequate but the skin is not as crispy as it can be. Value =5/5 Food=3/5 Roasted pork has crispy with well balanced and good flavor. Value =5/5 Food=4/5 Sa Siu is adequate in flavor and texture. Value=5/5 Food=3/5 Their dim sum is adequate and good value. 3/5 Service is nice but slow and can be more efficient. They charge for bag so bring your own. They also prefer cash but will take credit card with extra fee charge. It is hard to find good authentic traditional Chinese bbq after having really good Chinese BBQ from Vancouver BC Chinatown and Hong Kong traditional master. New Hwong Kok is probably the best here in the east bay relatively to others which is far worse. This is why there's always a long line during Chinese holidays. read more

Honestly, unless I'm in Oakland, I feel like the options from the East Bay down to San Jose are very limited in options for Chinese BBQ and bbq plates along 880. So it becomes a huge struggle when I'm leaving the South Bay and I just want something to fill those cravings. Luckily, Newark has some hole in the wall gems and New Hwong Kok was that. I stopped by in the afternoon and there was still duck, bbq pork, and soy sauce chicken available. I wasn't looking for anything too fatty so I skipped the duck and got to bbq pork and soy sauce chicken combo rice plate. It's okay if you can't order in Chinese because they already have combo options for you to chose from or you can point! Prices are more than fair for the amount of protein you are getting and I was pretty pleased with the flavor. Hard to find rice plates at these prices outside of Oakland Chinatown (which I think might be more expensive). They also have options for dimsum and other goods. Quick stop and got what I needed. Also, ask for utensils if you'r trying to eat in the car! read more

Came by in the afternoon this past Sunday, and there was a small line at the entrance (inside Lion food center). The wait to order was about 15 minutes with just 4-5 people ahead of me. And I liked observing how they chop up the meats right in front of you. I ordered the roasted duck rice plate for takeout, and it was juicy and delish, a good amount of meat on the bones, and just enough fat to add flavor. But the ratio of rice to meat was way off. They are really generous with the rice, as well as the cabbage. I had a satisfying meal. However, I would never dine in here, even though they have tables and seating inside. The place is just really run down and not very inviting. The cleanliness is questionable. The plastic utensils were cheap and flimsy too. Also, service wasn't the friendliest, though they get the job done to keep the line moving. read more

Advertised times for opening says 9am. I was there from 9am to 9:50am. The place was still closed. I'm not sure if they have changed their opening times, but it would be nice to know so people don't waste their time going there. Hours posted on the door say 9am...posted times on Yelp also say 9am. I've had food there before and it was okay...so take it for what it's worth if you plan to go there... read more

New Hwong Kok - Past 9am on a Tuesday. Perhaps they should update their posted opening hours??, - Dim Sum Near Me - Newark, California

The cha siu was dry and the pieces were huge! I wish they would cut them into smaller pieces. The pork belly wasn't crispy anymore by the time I ate them for dinner, but I think it's still better than the cha siu. There was also a long line at around 1PM on a Saturday. It took us around 20 minutes to order. Keep in mind that they will charge you a service fee if you use credit card to pay. read more

This is a small store in the Lion plaza, but seems to be pretty popular. Whenever we come here, my husband speaks to them in Cantonese. The service is quick and fast. We've had the bai tang gao (white sugar cake) and egg tarts. The egg tarts are pretty good when they're made warm and fresh. The white sugar cake is thin and doesn't really have much of the honey comb structure. Recently, we tried their roast duck and roast pork. For some reason I expected them to be hot/warm but they were not. The roast park had an inconsistent crunch, being crunchy and super hard to chew. The roast duck was very oily and got mostly bone. read more

I highly recommend this establishment you could eat there or you could have it to go just like me I had it to go my gosh they're barbecue gross pork was so delicious I can't stop eating it and their pork buns the sesame seed roll and their show my I highly recommend it to everybody to order their food cuz there's is so delicious yes it's a small establishment but it's worth going into their establishment because their food is so delicious I want I've been wanting to taste the dim sum and I finally did this morning and it's absolutely rated 10 not 5 but 10 because of the way they put their tender loving care into their food the way they make it I highly recommend everybody to go and have their dim sum and their food whether it's to go or you could eat there go and try it cuz I I still have some more that I'm going to keep on and on and on eating and not only that I'm coming back for more read more

Came here and was really craving Chinese food. I got the char siu and the roast chicken plate over rice with two pork buns. The food was ready immediately and it was about $20 for all three items. The food was tasty but the portions were a bit small as we got a lot of rice but not that much meat. The roast chicken had a couple of bones in it and had a bit of a rubbery texture but the char siu tasted pretty flavorful. The pork buns were good and curbed my cravings but didn't have enough char siu filling in it. The seating area here wasn't very clean and the tables looked like they weren't cleaned in a while. I think most people take the food to go though so that would make sense. Overall, the food was about a 3.5/5 and the atmosphere of the restaurant was about 2/5. read more

Popular local spot for roasted duck, pork, and other BBQ items. Came Sunday around 12:30 and line out was out the door (about 6-8 people deep), 10ish min wait. Some old school cafeteria booth seating. Asked for a fat juicy duck. Smelled so good on drive back home, but was patient and saved it for dinner. Reheated on low in oven and still nice and juicy. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture! Bring cash, credit card has 3% processing fee. read more

This is one of those places to get your lunch. However, you're better off doing a take out rather than dining in because of how bland the atmosphere is. Still boxes at the front. I remember dining here when I was a lot younger. Wasn't really looking bad there at that time. The food was slimy and oily. I consider it below average tbh. It's cheap at the bright side. I highly recommend going to other restaurants if you want to get better quality of duck and chicken. read more

Good spot for a pick to go dims sum. this is a branch from the San Francisco famous dim sum to go place. The food prices are good dim sum as always hot and ready to go. They also have a lot of frozen and refrigerated steam buns and other dim sum for you to take home and steam up yourself. Definitely a good spot for a quick breakfast or lunch or mid afternoon tea. Every I'm around the area I always stop by to get their steam custard buns. And there sticky rice tamales, both in bamboo leaves or lotus leave. Yummy to my tummy! read more

Located inside Lion Supermarket in Newark. Came on a Sunday around 1pm and there was a long line. It took me 15 minutes to order and I ordered the roast duck and the bbq pork steamed buns (siopao). The roast duck smelled so good , I bought the roast duck for my family and they said it was very delicious. The pork bun was big and tasty. The pork bun is actually cheaper than when I buy from Filipino bakeries and the bread bun is softer. Paid around $34 for the whole roast duck and 3 pork buns and I paid with a credit card. It is a hole in the wall so don't expect fancy tables. Also, it is better to pay cash because they charge 3% processing fee for credit cards. read more

This is a typical dirty Chinese deli like in Chinatowns everywhere. Those are actually the best Chinese places so not knocking it. The lady here is really rude. More rude than the regular rude Asian shop staff rude. As I'm telling her what I want, the phone rings and she walks away without saying a word to me to answer the phone and take her time in writing down the other person's order. Fine, that's the regular usual rude. But then she comes back and yells at me to hurry up and tell her what I want and bangs on the plexiglass to show her frustration with me. Ok, whatever, the food is pretty good at a pretty reasonable price. But then I get home and she gave me old, cold dim sum from yesterday. Not happy read more

New Hwong Kok - 蘿蔔糕、魚翅餃和燒賣 - Dim Sum Near Me - Newark, California

New Hwong Kok is located inside Lion Center in Newark. I came to order BBQ Pork for take-out. I came early this time and no line. There are days when a line reaches out the door. The uncle asked if I wanted leaned or fatty meat and sliced the pork for me. I paid in cash as there is an extra charge for credit card payments. The service is quick and friendly. There is one line for meat and another for dim sum. Quick tip: if you just want dim sum, skip the lengthy line waiting for roasted duck, yellow chicken, BBQ pork, etc. and go inside the store. It must be good if there are constant lines to order take out. read more

I agree with a review before me that said "haters gonna hate," but this spot is undefeatable. You think the aunties yelling "next" and the uncle chopping the duck care about what we say on Yelp? Lol. With that said, this spot is a no frills Chinese bbq and dim sum spot. You go in, get what you want, and leave. They've been in this plaza for as long as I can remember. They take card payments but charge extra 3%. read more

Haters gonna hate but there's a reason why this establishment has been around forever and there are still lines out the door every day. This is my go to for a classic bowl of HK style wonton soup noodles with roast duck. Pro tip- they tend to put the choice roast duck pieces in the soup (vs selling by the pound) for some reason. They also have excellent crispy roast pork and other roast meats, as well as a very good congee. The everything bun is packed with delicious meat and a big chunk of egg. Dim sum items like the shu mai, turnip cakes, lotus in sticky rice are a good value but nothing to write home about. read more

Would you drive 28 miles round trip for take out dim sum? This Sunday in Palo Alto had take out dim sum from New Hwong Kok In Newark. There's a location in Milpitas, but that location doesn't sell duck. Prices here are half that of dim sum places in San Mateo and Santa Clara county. The shui mai was fine, a mixture of spinach and shrimp in a semi transparent dumpling skin. Good portion of shrimp. The beef shui mai was packed with meat and little filling. Sign of a good dumpling. The deep fried meat dumpling similarly was packed with pork, and tightly closed with a thin skin of wrapping. Liked the rice with pork in bamboo leaf, as haven't had Chinese sausage in ages. Wife didn't care much for the sticky rice in lotus leaf with Chinese beans. The shrimp dumplings were the highlights of the dim sum, freshly cooked shrimp packed expertly in a won ton skin wrapping, before being steamed. Had to restrain my wife from eating it all, saving some for the other guests at the table. This store featured roasted duck, which while tasty, is pricey to me, who is not a duck fan. Also had sliced chicken and sliced fried pork , which went well with the white rice and bok choy which our host cooked. For dessert had custard tarts, bread with custard, and custard with coconut filling. Liked them all except for the bean filled breading - I have my wife sample it before I taste it. I have dim sum so infrequently that there's no way I would know where to get dim sum. My ex born in Hong Kong, has dim sum all the time, and knows where to get the best quality dim sum at the lowest price. Would you drive 28 miles round trip for take out dim sum for your ex? My ex did. read more

Good Chinese deli located in Lion Market. Been here a few times for takeout and for the most part, it's pretty good. Sometimes their meat can be a too fatty/greasy, but usually it's not an issue. Price is average I would say. The roast chicken in the image was $13.54. It's plenty of food and enough to share between 2-3 people. Super tender as well. Aside from deli they also offer good dim sum options. Got the shrimp and chive dumplings again which are super delicious. Recommend. Currently I don't believe they are offering dine-in services. The shop is also very small and doesn't have the greatest ambience, so I think it's best to order to-go. Overall good deli and I recommend getting their chicken for sure! read more

Disappointing experience -- Poor service, and mediocre food I had the unfortunate experience of visiting "New Hwong Kok" yesterday, and I must say that I feel utterly deceived by their Chinese name, as it is the same as the famous "Good Mong Kok Bakery." Unfortunately, the service and food at this establishment were far from satisfactory. Upon perusing the menu, I was particularly interested in trying the dried fish and peanut congee, which was clearly listed. However, the cashier lady responded in a condescending manner, informing me that they only served one type of congee--century egg and pork congee--which wasn't even mentioned on the menu. Disappointed and unwilling to eat century eggs, I decided to explore other options. I settled for an egg tart and the sticky rice in lotus leaf (Lo Mai Gai). It was less than $10, and I was prepared to pay for it using my credit card. However, my plans took an unexpected turn when the lady at the counter informed me that they had a minimum charge of $10 for credit card payments. This policy was not clearly stated anywhere in the establishment, leaving me feeling frustrated and inconvenienced. Reluctantly, I decided to add half portion of the soy sauce chicken to meet the minimum charge requirement, which costed me another $12. When I inquired about getting some minced ginger to complement the chicken, I was astounded by the response. The lady gave me one which is kind of small portion for half a chicken, so I politely asked if I could get another one. Then she curtly informed me that I would be charged an additional $0.50 for an extra serving, despite the fact that I had just spent $20+ and she's well aware that I don't have any cash with me. It was disheartening to see such a lack of flexibility and understanding when I could have just canceled the order instead of making extra purchase. Finally, I arrived home and eagerly tried the soy sauce chicken, only to be met with immense disappointment. It was the most overcooked and dried-out chicken I have ever encountered in the SF Bay Area. The quality fell far short of expectations and left me wondering why I even bothered to spend my time and money at "New Hwong Kok." In conclusion, my first visit to "New Hwong Kok" was an unpleasant experience marred by poor service, mediocre food, and an unmentioned credit card policy. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone seeking authentic Chinese cuisine or a pleasant shopping(dining) experience. It is clear that they have much room for improvement in terms of both their menu offerings, transparency regarding their payment policies and customer service! read more

Best Cantonese roast pork in the area by far, super friendly staff. My go to spot. Hole in the wall gem.

That chicken was straight-up awful. The texture was weirdly rubbery, like chewing on a balloon that had been left out in the sun too long. It had this plasticky aftertaste that made me wonder if it was even real meat. The soy sauce didn't help, it was flat, overly salty, and somehow still managed to be bland. read more

Hit or miss depending on what you order. I usually come here for the bbq roast pork or baked salted chicken, as well as their frozen HK style wonton (thinner wrap, meatier pork shrimp filling with a crunch) for quick weekday lunches. On the rare occasion when there's no line, I'll always stop by and see what dim sum or baked goods they have. This time there were the traditional Chinese New Year fried goodies which I wasn't expecting at all. Ahh and I was looking for these prior to new year too! The cookies were $4 and the fried dessert dumplings were $11, these take a lot more effort to make. Bbq pork buns unfortunately were a miss, barely bites of bbq pork in there and wasn't enough of the sweet glaze on top. Next time if I'm here around lunch hour I'll try their lunch menu or dim sum. Don't expect service or eye contact here. Typical Chinese service, in and out. Don't hold up ppl behind you. Dim sum line you can walk straight in without waiting on line for the barbecued meats (things hanging in the window). read more

I've been to New Hwong Kok for takeout now a few times. Line is for the meats, if u just want dim sum just go inside and stay to the Right. I like the roast duck whole one chopped $18.99. Roast pork I got 2lbs the meat part was ok, skin was soggy & chewy. $12/lb, too expensive too. Lotus leaf sticky rice $4ea, lots of rice, some little meat, little Chinese sausage. Tasted ok. Chive dumplings almost $2/order with 3 in a order. Dumpling skin too thick & chewy, I just like eating the insides little bit of shrimp & chives. I won't get this again. I'll just be back for the roast duck. Credit card minimum $10. read more

Best place for a quick fast food dim sum fix. They also sell bbq items like roasted duck $23.99 (on salty side), steamed farm fresh chicken/ yellow chicken $21.99 (salty side), marinated duck wings and feet $6, bbq pork. Got to have rice on the side for the saltier meats. Service is quick and line moves fast. Definitely more people here on the weekends. I came here Friday around 11:30am and it was empty. The staff knows their English pretty well. I think this location is the only one that has bbq items. The San Jose and Milpitas location just have dim sum items. read more

Love their roasted duck!, one of those awesome hole in the wall type place, really good crunchy pork and pork buns,

The quality is definitely lacking: roast duck lacks meat (mostly just oil and skin) and BBQ pork and roast pork are both usually cold (i.e., came out of the refrigerator because the fat was solid and white) even with it hanging under the "heat" lamps. Service is much better ever since the short fat bald guy stopped working there (y'all know who I'm talking about if you frequent this place regularly enough!). read more

Found this spot by accident and decided to try the soy sauce chicken and steamed chicken to go. What a night-and-day difference compared to Costco's rotisserie chicken. Price aside, the chicken here is leaner, not as giant, and has a rich, flavorful taste with a firm texture, reminiscent of heirloom chicken you'd find in Asia. It's gonna be tough to go back to Costco's chicken after this. read more

When we want bbq ducks, we come here to get them, but they also have bbq duck wonton noodles that's inexpensive and quite tasty. We think this has new owner because most of the old workers no longer there or at least we don't see them. Before COVID we could sit down and have a very nice and inexpensive dinner with the family when we didn't want to cook. The kids would order bbq duck with rice and I and my wife would order roasted duck noodles soups. My son loves the wonton noodles here since he doesn't like roasted duck much. Everyone is happy when we sit down here. Now, there's no dine in, only to go. Last week we decided to order to go, although we don't believe in to go soups because by the time we got home it's no longer hot. Anyhow, the BBQ duck and wonton were still tasty, the noodles cooked just right although the soup didn't taste as good as before but still good. The price went up as everything else but still cheaper than a bowl of pho or any other soup bowls out there. read more

Typical Asian eatery serving fresh dim sum and roast BBQ meat, located in the same building as Lion Market. Be warned, it's ALWAYS busy. I recommend going in the afternoon if you are not getting dim sum for breakfast. I had waited in line for 60 minutes around 10AM on a Sunday morning, in comparison to about 15 minutes around 3:30PM a Saturday afternoon. They still had a good variety of meat and dim sum. Also don't expect good service, just saying. My go-to are roasted duck (good flavor, tender meat), shu mai and BBQ pork bun (in the refrigerator). read more
