Christopher CarterAugust 25, 2014Been coming since I was little whenever I am around Mott street I always pop in and get some food.
Paige CAugust 12, 2014My family has been coming here forever. It's a NYC staple. The best Chinese food around!
Francesca KrihelyAugust 30, 2011This place is crazy. Linoleum walls. Stickers everywhere. Come in at 4 am after dancing all night and you WILL be surrounded by Jerseylicious. Great story for the kids.
Robert TrautmanSeptember 6, 2013You can easily share most dishes! Huge portions! The dumplings are amazing at the downstairs Wo Hop!
Mariana ColumnaDecember 30, 2010Best Chinese Food in the city!!! Everything was delish!!!! Long line, long wait, tiny location, cash only but it's all worth it! Eat downstairs! One word amazing!!!
Rachel MercerMay 28, 2012Upstairs will always have the shorter line. Get the Mao Po Tofu - but be warned that they're serious when it comes to spicy!
A personal favorite of mine is beef with egg sauce on noodles. But don't bother looking for it on the menu - you won't find it!
Rich Wolf RubelJanuary 27, 2012I love Wo Hop's! Best black bean sauce I've ever had, best roast pork with bean sprouts, best egg rolls, and best lemon chicken!
Richard RichJuly 4, 2013This place is an original from the Chinese building the intercontinental Railroad days. A must for the bucket list.- Guest of a GuestJanuary 23, 2012You can't get a better deal in town than a bowl of their delicious wonton soup for less than $3.00. AND it's open 24 hours! Read more
Amy BDecember 20, 2014Keep your party small. Way easier to get in. Try not to order everything. Delicious!
This is the real Wo Hop for Chinese People. All the Gwai Lo go to the one downstairs but Chinese will eat at this one.
Stephen Brothers3 weeks agoGreat food , Great Prices, but it’s to bad there no longer open till 04AM
Jorge LuisAugust 10, 2018Everything but don’t mind the indirect service it’s actually funny to experience.
This place is a culinary landmark in all of Chinatown. If you have only eat Chinese food once in NYC, this is where to do it. Make sure you go DOWNSTAIRS. The upstairs one is not the real Wo Hop.
AlexFebruary 22, 2013Awesome place, everything was perfect! Food is good price and also at the correct point.
Cristiana CannizzaroApril 15, 2013You must eat downstairs! There is always a super long line, but it is worth the wait.
Ashley KemperSeptember 19, 2015$10 will buy you the biggest plate of amazing Chinese food you've ever seen.
Nikki HodgdonApril 9, 2010Amaaaazzzzing!!! Be prepared for a stomache because you WILL overeat. The food is amazing and they give you so much. Get the pan fried noodles!!! Open 24 hours. It's love.
Honey crispy chicken is great. I've been here over 100 times and have eaten it every time
Sid VarmaNovember 29, 2010Pork fried rice. Pretty good. General Tso. Not traditionally sweet. I wouldn't get it again. Duck Lo Mein was very good, as was shrimp with garlic sauce.
Ross SheingoldDecember 16, 2013Ask for your General Tso's chicken extra spicy. Their peppers are LEGIT!
paisleyMarch 18, 2011Eggplant with garlic sauce, shrimp egg foo young are my faves. Fried dumplings don't disappoint. They have brown rice too :)
Natalie FreilichApril 15, 2016As a kid I always ordered Shredded Szechuan Beef in my hometown...I couldn't find it done right elsewhere until I ordered it here.
Son NguyenApril 21, 2013Good food..affordable prices..enjoyed it and late night dinning at 6am can't complain
Ed SteinbergApril 17, 2013Love the all night place but just finished a duck 'flavored' chow me fin. Not bad but could have used some duck meat
Stephanie S.February 22, 2012Salt and pepper porkchops, salt and pepper squid! Fast service. Perfect after a late night of partying.
Luke ChuFebruary 16, 2024Sad this places closed by 9 usually opens late late . The virus killed it!! The party is over!!
Roast duck lo mein or cold sesame noodles either way 5 a.m. AWESOMENESS!!!
Honey Cicken, Pork Fried Rice, BBQ Ribs, Snow Peas with beef or chicken. I haven't even gotten into the Soft noodle dishes. Everything pretty much Rocks.
Go here while plastered after a night out with a group of friends. Its a fun experience.
michael nerenburgMay 6, 2013This place is aweful, 4PM, 4AM, 8PM, just out of prison, off a 20 hour flight, spent 6 years on a desserted island, wherever you were it doesn't matter, if you go to chinatown you can do better.
Priscilla SohanMarch 4, 2013Their crispy noodles with duck sauce are so addictive they should be reclassified as a Class A drug.
Again make sure you go DOWNSTAIRS.....beef chow fon is awesome....as are the fried wontons and if you like spice ask for some hot oil
Michael VierraJuly 5, 2015Late night & Wo Hop are synonymous. Retire into a basement of deliciousness. Time & time again.
