    Not much of a decor, tasty food came out quick...recommend roast duck and the seafood dishes.

    Pigs!
    Justine H.

    The viral roasted pork and rice with the pigs in the window was just as delicious as in the pictures. Plus the prices are amazing it was only $8.50 for a full bowl that could be shared. I wish we had more time to sit down and order more at the restaurant but pork togo on the train is all new thing for me now. The food came out so fast too we weren't even ready for it! Highly recommend it!

    This char siu rice is seriously underrated in NYC Chinatown. Tin Wong serves a gigantic portion of char siu rice for only $8.50, and they're generous with the meat. My jaw dropped when it hit the table -- the portion was huge! It was a lot even for a grown man. I had to share it with my boyfriend because there was no way I could finish it on my own. *Roast Pork & Chicken Thigh on Rice 蜜汁叉燒雞髀飯 $14 This time we opted for chicken thigh, so it was a bit more expensive. A regular char siu and chicken rice is only $10, and the three-topping one (三拼飯) is $14. Both the char siu and the chicken thighs were flavorful without being overly salty. The meat was tender with a good balance of fat and lean. What I appreciated most was the ginger scallion sauce (薑蓉) and cabbage on the side, plus the rice drizzled with savory soy sauce. All the little details made it so satisfying. Thay also sell char siu for $13/lb.

    A must visit if you're in the area and craving duck. The service was amazing and they give tea as soon as you sit down (and constantly refill). Portions were huge and it was very inexpensive. The duck has an amazing crisp to it while being very soft and was amazing in the bao bun. Would definitely go again and would go with a group to try more of the menu. They also take cards!

    Roast pork noodle soup

    I was craving roasted meat noodle soup so I decided to try out this new place in Chinatown. The food came out pretty quickly and the presentation is nice. However, the taste was pretty bland. The soup tasted more like boiled water. The noodles were overdone. The meat itself wasn't bad- a little on the sweeter side though. We only ate about half of the bowl.

    Plain lai fun ($6) and roast duck - requested top half ($10)

    I was so psyched to come here since I used to come and get takeout with my grandpa every other day as a kid walking home from school. I was especially hype when I walked in and saw that they had kept the same staff, same iconic pink paint color, same menu design, and same red vest uniforms. I always loved their roast duck noodle soup with lai fun and got roast duck and lai fun separately because it's a better deal and you can get better pieces of meat rather than just whatever they decide to put in. The duck is $10 alone and you can specify dark or white meat (I prefer white) and the plain lai fun in soup is $6 now. The soup is flavored. 10/10 no notes! They let my dog in too. The only change is that the bathroom is cleaner lol.

    Got charsiu rice for lunch takeout and it was pretty good. The meat wasn't too dry but the rice is standard across Chinatown I think. Not the best rice but charsiu was pretty good as in average. Overall, standard pricing and standard food.

    Eggplant, noodles, walnut shrimp, duck
    Melissa H.

    Solid service, solid food! My friend recommended this place to me after he'd gone multiple times. His take was that this place consistently delivers - there are so many items on the menu, but everything we tried hit the spot! We got the roast duck, the eggplant, the walnut shrimp, and some flat noodles. If I were to order again, I'd probably skip the noodles, but everything else was fire. They also serve beer and accept cards!!

    Always delicious and best shared with friends! Can't beat the roast meats, congee, wonton, stir fry. It's all so good!!

    Fish fillet with string beans over rice
    Zuobin T.

    These days in NYC, an iced latte with oatmilk could easily cost you $8. Here at Tin Wong, you could get a meal of roast pork over rice or choose from various options under $10. Chinatown is known for great deals on food in NYC, Tin Wong offers another new destination for affordable and satisfying Cantonese food. On a recent visit, we ordered fish fillet with string beans over rice, congee with pork special, and a rice roll with shrimp and another with beef. Within about 10 minutes, our food arrived the table at once, demonstrating textbook efficiency of a Cantonese restaurant. The seasoning on the food was on point across the dishes, highlighting the simplicity of quick Cantonese dishes. The rice rolls, although not achieving the translucency of some rice roll specialty eateries in the neighborhood, still offered the expected comfort in each bite (the portion was also very generous for its sub-$5 price tag). The fish fillet was crispy on the outside without any trace of grease, contrasted nicely with the green string beans. The congee was silky and full of fillings but a bit too thick for my taste. The service was basic but prompt. The restaurant is kept still rather nice and clean since its opening months ago.

    This is always my to go place if I'm not sure what I want to eat. Their fish congee for the morning is great. The congee has flavor and not too watery unlike other places I've been to. Their egg and pork congee is good too. The owner for this place has been doing this for many years. I would say in Chinatown they have the best duck and also soy and salt bake chicken around. Their cha siu is pretty good also. Wish they did roast pig. I can imagine how good it would be. I haven't had anything I didn't like here. Pretty solid place all around. The Singapore mei fun is good. I highly recommend for their duck and soy chicken over rice.

    Fish porridge
    Jess W.

    3.75/5 Not a replacement for Great Noodletown New York (featured in Ugly Delicious) but this is a less busy, cleaner, and newer alternative Food 3/5 Bitter melon beef was so close to perfection but it did not have enough of that black flavor sauce (which is what makes the dish the dish) and the bitter melon was almost soggy Whoever the chef is, you can tell they are strong enough to "Pao" the wok as the food is fried to the perfect degree and you can smell the "wok air" The fault was in ingredient preparation The fish porridge was a good size but it lacked flavor--even some ginger shreds could have salvaged it but it was just too plain. Both porridge and fish fillets were not as flavorful The viscosity of the porridge was on the more watery side Price 3/5 BIPOLAR The fish porridge was only $7, which is even cheaper than Yin Ji, which specializes in porridge The bitter melon beef, however, was $18 and it was not a smaller dish! With no white rice to follow! If you ordered the rice plate instead of the dish itself, it would have been $9 and you would have gotten more than 60% of the bitter melon beef plus free white rice. Service 4/5 Staff was not busy Staff was attentive Not sure they did a good job at explaining the pricing Cleanliness 4/5 Bathroom can use some improvement BUT the rotisserie meat section is sparkling new

    New basic Cantonese eatery in the old XO Kitchen space (RIP). Unfortunately nowhere near as good as XO was. I tried the hong-shau tofu, which is supposed to come out a deep brown color and here was served with an offputting yellowish hue. The gravy had very little flavor, and the rice noodle soup was equally bland. I'll be sticking to the tried and true Big Wong (Da Wong) when I'm craving this genre of Cantonese cooking in Manhattan's Chinatown.

    Finally made it to Uncle Lou, often talked about as one of the best Cantonese spots in Chinatown,…read moreand it definitely lived up to the hype. We went straight for their signature deep fried garlic chicken and decided to share the Peking duck--and both dishes were beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. The chicken, in particular, was crispy, aromatic, and absolutely delicious, though it's worth noting you'll want to be a bit careful as there are quite a few small bones throughout. The Peking duck was equally impressive, cooked perfectly with rich, satisfying taste in every bite. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into both quality and presentation. On top of the food, the staff were adorable and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance felt warm, lively, and comfortable--perfect for a relaxed meal in Chinatown. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with standout dishes and great energy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Lunch while in the vicinity on a Wednesday afternoon for my professional duties. Business cards…read moreand takeout menu are both available for grabs. Uncle Lou is a Cantonese restaurant that also serve Dim Sum dishes. The business name reference Chinese culture of calling adults "uncle" (suk1 suk1, 叔叔) or "auntie" (aa3 ji4, 阿姨) is a polite, common way to show respect, build connection, and bridge generational gaps. It treats non-relatives like family, making strangers feel younger and fostering closeness. The atmospheric decor contains very beautiful Chinese lanterns suspended from the ceiling throughout the restaurant. I believe it is decorated for Lunar New Year throughout the entire year. No comment for facility as I did not utilize. Customer service is average attentive and the staff is fluent in both English and Cantonese. I did not have to wait long to be served nor request the bill, and neither attain change. I often dine alone as a single woman and was regarded with respect for patronizing. It is always good to hear Cantonese spoken as it is mellifluous... at long last to continue this vernacular of Chinese language. I ordered in a mixture of both English and Cantonese. I was promptly seated by the maître d' promptly for a table. Melamine/plastic chopsticks in neon green and ceramic / porcelain china including ceramic Chinese soup spoon are distributed to customers while dine-in. A traditional teapot is also distributed during the duration of meal like large banquet hall Dim Sum restaurants. The large round tables contain a rotating lazy susan in traditional Chinese restaurant standard. Wow. No disposable wooden chopsticks and no disposable bowls for utensils are distributed at Uncle Lou. Price is slightly high, but worth the food quality and customer service. Uncle Lou did surely feed me! Shrimp Wonton noodle soup, Ho fun (flat rice noodles), shrimp based broth, $14.95 The bowl is gargantuan and the six (6) dumplings are good size portion served in ceramic / porcelain china. There are Chinese vegetable of one strand choi sam (choy sum) and scallions. The shrimp Wonton dumplings are a good size and good consistency. The soup broth is solid for flavor and consistency. It was served piping hot as steam was visibly emitting. The soup broth was slightly heavy. The flat rice noodles were sufficient for quantity. Noodle soup is Chinese comfort food and warms the heart. It sustained my hunger pangs throughout the day. Upon arrival the wait staff prominently announce to inform customers of 9% discount for cash payment and a 3% additional surcharge or fees for any credit/debit card payment for situational awareness. I was informant and made fully aware twice: upon entry when seated and upon receiving the bill. Uncle Lou complies with "Prohibition of Cashless Establishments, as of March 21, 2026, all retail and food establishments in New York State, including New York City, must accept in-person cash payments, banning fully cashless stores." (source: Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), Local Law 34 of 2020). Oh! For small amounts of purchases, my default payment method is cash. Yes, cash is still widely accepted in the 21st century. Nota Bene: Have cash on hand to avoid annoying surcharge or fees. The bill is calculated and manually handwritten the old school way still a timeless classic. I paid my bill in cash including gratuity. No comment for Apple Pay or Google Wallet (formerly Android Pay/Google Pay) either acceptance or price differential vs. cash.

There was a twist in all their dishes that would make them different from other Chinese restaurants. They all tasted good but the small changes that they made to "upgrade" or to transform the dishes to make them more modern did not justify the price. I can't exactly say that I loved all those changes either. The chicken was just like the salt and pepper chickens at other Chinese places. The jam that came with it alongside with the biscuits were what made them special. I personally was not a fan of the jam. I could not really put my finger on what it was that I was nitpicking on but I did not touch it much. The biscuit was a hit. Even my picky daughter was into it and kept asking for more. I expected it to be a dryer biscuit but I am not complaining. Maybe just a bit crumblier than I expected. It was good. The fried rice was it's grains and how its absorbed it's sauce. It kind of reminded me of risotto. It was ok, good, but it was not a favorite. Old man chiu and the landlady. They were good. My colleague and I each ordered one and then ended up swapping to suit our tastes. Its one of the benefits of eating with others. Would I visit again? Not too certain about that but I would have people come and give them a try nonetheless.

The kind of place where the tables are big and the food comes out steaming hot and unpretentious. Let's start with what they're named after: the congee. So many places thicken their porridge with cornstarch or fillers, but here it's the real deal. Silky from long simmered rice. My personal favorite is the teng-ji-jook. It's a beautifully fragrant, slightly earthy bowl of pure comfort. If you've never had it, trust me, it's worth the visit alone. But don't stop there. The beef chow fun is a classic for a reason. Wide rice noodles with wok hei, tender beef, and not oily (you can see from the bottom). It's the dish everyone enjoys and it never disappoints. For something saltier, the salted fish fried rice and the salt and pepper fried squid are highly recommended. I heard the Dungeness crab is pretty popular so it was fun to pick at it while each person has their own dipping sauce as we wait for the hot food. We also got the stir fry Chinese broccoli which had a nice crisp and wasn't overcooked. I appreciated that. The pan fried tofu worked for the vegans at the table but even the non vegans kept reaching for it. I was surprised to see pickled garlic in my sweet and sour pork. It was so nostalgic, the way my grandmother would have made it. The lamb chops were perfectly tender without being too gamey. On special occasions, we get the stir fry lobster. It's the kind of dish you'd expect at a Chinese wedding banquet. Celebratory, messy in the best way. You could build a whole feast here just from banquet classics. Pro tip: if you're rolling with a small party, book one of their private rooms with a karaoke setup. Eat, sing off key and pretend you're at a family wedding without the formalities. Congee Village isn't trying to be anything it's not. And that's why I keep coming back.
