New Wong Rest

I was in New York one weekend when my dad insisted we have some authentic noodles in Chinatown. We came across New Wong Restaurant and decided to give it a try. It was a great place for a quick meal, which is what we were looking for. The food came out really fast and the portions were very decent for the price (very cheap).
The other three people with me ordered beef wonton noodle soup, which I tried, and it was good. I ordered roast duck Cantonese style noodles, which was great! I’m a huge fan of Peking duck and roast duck, and the duck here was amazing. It was full of flavor and the texture was perfect. I really wish I could have bought one of the whole roast ducks that the chefs are preparing at the front of the restaurant ($ 18 I believe), because it looked and smelled incredible, but I didn’t want to drive 6 hours with an entire roast duck in the car.
The place isn’t the cleanest, but I didn’t mind so much because of the price and how good the food was. Definitely worth a try for authentic Chinese/​Cantonese food if you’re in the area.

best roasted duck and soy chicken in NYC so far for me, excellence congee also.
I was never disappointed at there since they first day open back at year 2000…

The Roast Duck and Roast Pork are incredible!!! Along with the great prices, I am not sure how you can go wrong eating at this fine establishment.

I have been coming here my whole life and my mom has been coming here for the past 30 years and she works in the area. It is authentic quality Cantonese food and it comes out nice and quick. When you walk by, you see the workers making the noodles in the window. I absolutely love this place and it will always have a special place in my heart. Definitely go here if you don’t have a lot of time and need a nice, quick fix.

It’s better than normal Chinese take-​out that I’ve tried. I normally hate eating Chinese food outside because it’s so greasy. It’s come to the point that I avoid eating Chinese food (even dim sum) when I’m out. But New Wong does a pretty good job on the typical Chinese take-​out dishes that I typically run from. Their food isn’t very oily and it’s very affordable.
My family ordered dinner to go.
Pork Chop with Pickled Vegetables over Rice: (off menu)
I thought the pork chop was going to be pan-​seared but it’s actually fried. It’s really good. We didn’t eat it immediately, so I’m not sure if it was actually crispier, but they bread it. The breading got soggy, in a good way, because it soaked up the sauce. Plus they give a lot of pickled vegetables! They already cut the pork chop up for you and I wanna say there’s about 4 – 5 decently sized chunks.
Beef Chow Mein:
It’s thin Lo Mein. They filled it up, so there’s a lot of noodles. It wasn’t overly oily.
Scrambled Egg with Shrimp on Rice
They gave a lot of shrimp (we counted about 14) in this one dish. The shrimp is just boiled though and it’s the frozen shrimp, lacked a lot of flavor. I’m not a fan of the taste. Also, the eggs are actually scrambled into the rice. I would have preferred if the eggs were separate from the rice because I lost the egg flavor that I really wanted.
There was a lot of food between 4 people and we ended up having so much left over. Two orders would have been enough between the 4 of us! Also, there might be a language barrier! We spoke to the workers in Cantonese, but they have menus that are written in English. So I’m sure they understand some English or you can just point at what you want.

One of my go-​to, no frills Cantonese fast food joints.
Great for congee (rice porridge) paired with fried dough.
Beef chow fun has good ‘wok hay’ translates literally to wok/​pan air and is certainly a dish you get often on the streets of Hong kong.
If you go early, definitely get the ‘cheung fun’ rice rolls either with beef or shrimp — one of the classic dim sum dishes done in a traditional way here.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Service was fast. Duck over rice was juicy comes with veggies and a small bowl of their broth to wash it down. Traditional HK style meals.
Prices were cheap and affordable.
They were also shooting a movie scene in here a couple months ago. This place seems pretty popular.

A sam bo fan order is probably the easiest rice dish to put together, yet there are many Chinese restaurants that can’t get it done right. Sometimes when you’re not looking, you’ll get some of the worst chicken, duck or roast pork parts served over a large portion of rice.
The New Wong Restaurant probably makes the best sam bo fan. Pretending not to look, their meat carver chopped the best chicken and roast pork parts along with a freshly made fried egg. Veggies were also included with chopped ginger sauce and the right amount of rice.
New Wong may not be new but it’s definitely old school serving Cantonese favorites like congee, wonton noodles soup and fried pan noodles.
The service is very good for a Chinese restaurant and the prices are reasonable as well.

Lunch and dinner here is great and this is a place I would certainly recommend. For starters, the service is friendly and diligent. They come to your needs and explain any menu questions well. Moreover, the food is some of the best you can get in Chinatown for a good price. It’s a great little cozy restaurant for a cheap yet tasty meal.

I’ve eaten there once and found it to be a pleasant experience. The waitress was courteous and efficient, and the food was excellent, particularly the roast meats and some of my favorite dishes such as pepper corn fried squid and soft/​firm tofu with bok choy. What stands out is their take out counter which I patronized every time I go into Chinatown. I usually call ahead and placed my order. The ladies that take my order are accurate, efficient and courteous. I complimented them once and they modestly brushed it off — claiming it’s their job to delight the customers. The dishes I ordered; wonton, congee, roast duck and pork, pepper corn squid, and rice noodles are delightful and cheered me up for the entire day.

Their roasted meats are a staple in my family. Every roasted meat you see hanging there is so close to perfection.
Pros: The quality is so consistent. I’ve never had a serving of their roasted meats that wasn’t well cooked. Not too fatty, not too greasy, moist, and flavorful.
–Their duck and roasted pork are some of my favorites in Chinatown and that is in comparison to A LOT of Hong Kong and Cantonese style restaurants.
–Also love their congee, broad noodles (I like it with the gravy), rice noodles, and salted fish and chicken fried rice.
–Cheap, fast, fresh, and clean.
Cons: As always with most Chinatown restaurants, you’re paying for a killer meal for cheap and not for five star table service. You can’t really complain about service if there is a language barrier and cultural differences.

This place is good, fast, cheap and convenient. Get the hanging meats as appetizers. Chow Fun was good and chewy if not the best ever. Pan fried noodle with beef and black bean was a hit as someone else mentioned. Lo Mein was not so popular.

Great Cantonese/​Hong Kong Chinese food. The duck may be the best I ever had.

Pink! Why? I don’t know. I forgot to ask.
I stumbled upon this place when Wing Shoon down the road, an old and reliable place for cooked meats, appeared to have died a terrible death.
I only bought roast pork (Cha Xiao or Cha Seew, depending on your dialect), but was so impressed with it that I had to write this. Ask for fattier pieces! It looked so good, I bought $ 20 worth.

One of the best places for sweet fried porks （叉烧） and fried ducks in Manhattan Chinatown. The flat rice noddles (河粉）are also good.

Good place for Hong Kong style food. I highly recommend the Beef Lo Mein (Hong Kong style). Large portions of food.
My kids had the pork fried rice (also recommend) and the shrimp fried rice (very good).
Inexpensive and the manager is friendly. My waiter was a bit standoff-​ish. But after a few smiles and me trying to kindly speak to her, she opened up and became friendly.

Stopped in for a late afternoon snack while walking around Chinatown. Got a minced beef congee and half a roast duck to share between the 3 of us. I’m used to the typical roast duck where it’s usually greasier than other BBQ items, but this one was extra greasy, and extra salty. When we got the bill, we were charged $ 12 for half a duck! Take out was only $ 8 or $ 9, but it’s $ 3 more for sit down. It didn’t make sense to us, we could’ve gotten 2 roast duck over rice for cheaper with pretty much the same amount of meat with rice and veggies!

I’ll lead with a bit of a digression, which I hope will be worth it.
There’s a coffeeshop/​bar on my Brooklyn block that’s been under construction under more than a year. The new owners completed gutted the old Laundromat, installed leather couches and a circular bar and put up a huge portrait of the Notorious B.I.G.
They painted the outside jet black while preserving a small mural of a girl playing.
I know all this because I went to a private party there, eight months ago. The venue still hasn’t opened. This is now the third spring I’ve hoped a bar would open on my corner. All of this makes me wonder, when I return back from another night out far from home, what would have happened if this place would have just focused on opening their doors rather than perfecting the internal décor.
The decorating budget at New Wong (not to be confused with Big Wong King, a more famous restaurant more centrally located in Chinatown that serves similar Cantonese fare) was somewhere between 50 and 75 cents. The pink formica tabletops and matching paint job are not from the last three decades.
But who cares? At New Wong, there’s a bowl of wonton soup, with egg noodles and slices of char siu pork for under $ 5. It’s ready in 5 minutes — perfect for a snack before hopping on the Yo! Bus to Philadelphia. The stop is just outside of the store and other cheap Chinatown buses are nearby.
The char siu gets a B+. It is not baked under a heat lamp, flavorless and tough like a piece of jerky. There are small pieces of fat, which mix with the sweetness of the pork to give it that unique flavor of Hong Kong. It is were a little more tender it would rank with the city’s best pieces of pork.
The wontons are even better, with thin skins and even more pork. They are so good that it’s almost possible to overlook that both times I’ve been here the noodles at the bottom of the bowl were a tad overcooked and too soft.
I hope they sort this noodle issue by the time of my next visit. But please, never change the walls.

The original restaurant closed and reopen as New Wong!
Their dishes of Cantonese food are pretty authentic & large!
Who does not like that?
But they gave the decorating to a person who love PINK. The whole place is painted PINK.
The Chicken Pan Fried Noodle $ 8.50– huge dish, enormous to feed two hungry Unilocalers. Rate ⁴⁄₅.
I guarantee the food will distract you from their questionable pink décor.

If you have an aversion to the PINK PEPTOL BISMOL color… that is the color they painted inside of this restaurant.
BUT IF YOU LOVE INEXPENSIVE CHINESE FOOD THAT IS AUTHENTIC… just ignore the pink Pepto Bismol color! I did!
I love the Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles here, it’s pretty tasty. The portion is GINORMOUS.
I just wished they would open up later!!! That is my only problem. They close the restaurant pretty early, for me, 9pm. If they opened later I would come here all the time.
