Those are considered the front-part items, as you view from their main window. And yes, because we had a large group, we got to try a lot of different things. We tried the kitchen items, which are wok-cooked dishes. General tso's chicken, string beans, beef dishes, sauteed chicken, and so forth - all were very good. The heat from the wok gives it more oomph. Restrooms are okay - at least the one on the ground floor. Haven't seen the one in the basement (kind of scared to.) Please support your local businesses!!

The roasted meats we chose were white chicken, cha siu, and roast pig. The white chicken was the best out of the three, but the cha siu was very dry and underwhelming. The mapo tofu and beef with rice noodles, two very classic dishes, weren't made well at all. The restaurant does stay open later than most other Chinatown restaurants so perhaps this is why it was packed. The food didn't taste authentic and was full of tourists. I won't be returning to this restaurant and suggest that you save your money and go elsewhere too. Service: Service was average and nothing special. Ambiance: The ambiance has a typical Chinatown restaurant vibe - a little run down and not the cleanest. A lot of seating for both large and small groups. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant.

This place is cash only, and there's usually a line during lunch, but the turnover is pretty quick. There are only two tables inside, so it's mainly a takeout spot. I've tried some of their other bowls, but my go-to is the small fried chicken rice bowl for just $7! The salad is always fresh, and the chicken is consistently cooked to perfection. They'll also ask if you want it spicy, and I highly recommend saying yes! How spicy is it? If you can handle a regular spicy Shin Ramyun, this is a walk in the park. Great food, friendly service, and an incredible price for NYC. You really can't beat the value here!

Overall, it's a good amount of food! It's pieces of boneless chicken served with rice, an optional spicy sauce (kind of sweet n sour with heat) and a little salad to top it off. The chicken is pretty hot and fresh which is a big plus, and I don't mind the salad itself. It's not like, the obsceneeeee level of value I've heard about, but it's definitely a pretty good deal and the food tastes pretty good too. No complaints.

Wings are weighed by pound. It came out to $5.90 for 4 wings. I like how their roast pork is sweet but not overly and good combo of fatty and lean pieces. Wings didn't have an overpowering honey flavor but definitely make a great snack. There isn't much for service or ambiance. It's a no fuss muss kind of place. Place your order, pay & grab your food. Few seats for dine-in.

My Chinatown roast pork shortcut for 17 years!…read more For 17 years, New Kim Tuong has been my go-to when I'm craving roast pork but want ZERO LINE. And honestly? You're really not missing much from next door's Wah Fung. Once you've enter the restaurant, the interior is as simple as it gets! Just head straight to the counter and you'll be greeted warmly by an auntie who will take your order. Don't underestimate this place! I got the roast pork over rice with char siu, siu yuk, and a fried egg, and it hit the spot exactly like I wanted. The char siu is the sweet, savory, BBQ-style roast pork with that nice caramelized flavor, while siu yuk is the roast pork with the glorious crispy skin. And that siu yuk skin here? CRUNCHY. Crackly, salty, and crispy while the pork underneath stays tender and flavorful. That contrast is everything. Then there's the fried egg, which is an extra request and absolutely worth it. You get those crispy, lacy edges, while the yolk stays beautifully runny. Break that yolk over the rice, let it run into the roast pork, and suddenly you've upgraded a simple lunch into something dangerously satisfying. And don't sleep on their fried rice either! I've tried different ones and honestly, any of them are a solid choice. So if you're in Chinatown, craving roast pork, and see a long line next door... just remember: there's zero line here. You can get your char siu, your siu yuk, your crispy egg, and be happily eating while everyone else is still waiting! 17 years and still my go-to. Highly recommend!

Review #1,115 Posted on 10.5.26…read more We went on a dim sum tour on Thursday September the 17th when in town for my wife's 40th birthday bash. We stopped inside here for our 1st stop of 4 on the tour. This place is a little hole in the wall spot in Chinatown on Eldridge St. There's probably about 4-5 tables in total to sit. Most of these spots are cash only. The dim sum was excellent, we tried the fried pork and chive dumpling. It had excellent flavor. They've got their own mix of sauces which one was basically a soy/vinegar type of mix. I would return here for a few dumplings next time I'm in Chinatown NY. I recommended to try their stuff. Nothing beats local made products.

I ordered the Burning Noodles with pork, and they were fantastic. The noodles had the perfect texture, and after adding a little extra chili oil, I seriously couldn't stop eating. Every bite was flavorful with just the right amount of heat. I also got the fried pork and chive dumplings (not pictured). They were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired perfectly with the noodles. I ended up finishing everything and I'm already looking forward to coming back. The restaurant itself is small and can look pretty packed, but don't let that discourage you. There wasn't much of a wait to order, and most people either grab their food to go or eat quickly and head out, so tables turn over fast. If you're in Chinatown and craving spicy noodles, this place is definitely worth a visit.

I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you like your chicken with a side of chaos and joy.

Hop Kee in Chinatown, NYC will not disappoint…read more I happened to be in the area last Saturday looking for something different and, much to my surprise, found myself at Hop Kee. This isn't the type of restaurant I would normally choose, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. I ordered several dishes from the menu to really get a feel for the food and decide whether it was worth coming back--and it absolutely is. The house fried rice is highly recommended. The beef chow fun was excellent and another must-try. The chicken and broccoli was very good, and the Chinese beer paired perfectly with the meal. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. One piece of advice: don't arrive close to closing time--they make it very clear when it's time to leave, in more ways than one. Overall, a great Chinatown spot with solid food, generous portions, and good value. I'll definitely be back.

It is also a cash only establishment, and be prepared to eat with strangers if your party is not big enough. I like that everything I got came out hot and quick. The wonton noodle soup is a generous portion for $10. The crispy duck has a nice flavor and can be eaten as a main or entree. Next time I should get it over rice to ensure maximum flavor. Even the chicken lo mein is tasty, as the chicken is cooked with a gentle char that makes it feel more homemade and less like it came from a takeout place. While I was there, I observed patrons bringing in their own drinks, especially one gentleman who had an enormous bottle of water so he would not constantly badger the wait staff for more water (I did, my bad). I also like that you get a glass of hot tea as soon as you walk in. That is why this is a perfect cold weather Chinese food destination. The tip is also included with your bill so calculating tip is one less thing to worry about. Next time I come back here I plan to make a smarter plan so I can enjoy the food more without going through so much water.
