Cantonese Restaurants in New York, NY

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“Very nice ambiance, but definitely not my cup of tea. I think the dishes were reasonably creative and didn’t taste bad, but I think nothing really stood out. Chao mian decent, chicken not bad. For what we ended up paying it felt a bit expensive, but not a bad spot if you’re looking for a nice date spot.“

“We missed the M9 and decided to hustle over a block for rice rolls over at Sun Hing Lung Ho Fun Tofu - and we’re so glad we did. Only in Chinatown can you get so much good food for 4 people (we only have 3 but one is a teen!) for less than $20! We ordered the dried shrimp rice roll (yummy and has fresh green onion!!!), fresh shrimp rice roll, beef rice roll, pork rice roll, fresh tofu, and decided to try the jelly they had stacked on a table (it’s jello that comes with a sweet sauce to pour on top) and the grand total was less than $20!
This isn’t Cheung Fun Noodles but the variety and kindness of the nice woman at the window made this just as great! Definitely a must go for rice rolls if you’re shopping at the grocery and hangry :)“

“Fantastic Cantonese food. Like having old-school Mott Street in the neighborhood. Great dim sum, terrific roast meats, and a+ noodle soups.

Update: talk about obscura, they serve seremban siew pau as part of their weekend dim sum! Delicious!“

“We arrived with a reservation and were seated immediately. Our food was very good and prepared as ordered. Prices were vey reasonable and service was pretty good. It was a bit difficult to converse but worth the slight inconvenience. We'll return for the food and prices.“

“Chicken, duck, pork, rice and cabbage—oh my. Super tasty. Out does everyone in the zip code. No exaggeration.“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“This is by far the best value Chinese full-menu restaurant in New York Manhattan Chinatown. The majority of the dishes still have the pre-pandemic price. We tried 3 dishes this time.
1. Salt and pepper pork chop. Just look at the picture — good portion size. Tastes so good.
2. Salty fish with chicken and eggplant. This might be too exotic for non-Asians. I can eat a bowl of rice with just 3 spoons of this. But the salty fish part might be too strong for people who mainly eat burgers and pizza.
3. Curry beef. This is not recommended — too watery. And the beef is supposed to be the beef belly part, theirs was too lean. For curry beef, West New Malaysia (on the same street) is still the best by far.
Total was $39 after tax. BTW, they accept cash only.“

“I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and we had an amazing time. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and I love the cozy but very Chinese decor. Our waitress was so nice, easy to talk to, and fun. The service was really quick.

We ordered hot and sour soup, peking pork, string beans, honey walnut shrimp, beef chow fun, short ribs, beef stew and radish casserole, and salted fish and eggplant casserole. Everything was delicious. My favorites were their peking pork, string bean, and casserole dishes. The honey walnut shrimp was good but the portions were okay for a group of 9. The beef chow fun was a great portion but I wish there was more flavor. Loved the short rib. They gave us complimentary watermelon at the end, as well as birthday flan for my friends and I. Had a great time and I think this is the perfect spot for some casual Chinese food with a big group of people (We got 10 dishes and the total ended up being only $240, post-tax for a group of 9! We all left STUFFED).“

“I was completely amazed by this Cantonese restaurant! I went there on Sunday with two of my classmates, and the food was absolutely delicious. The interior decoration was also very impressive—I really loved it! After finishing our meal, we went to the bar and ordered three cocktails. Their cocktails were not only beautifully presented but also incredibly tasty. What surprised me the most was that the bartender used to be a professional musician, no wonder he has such a stylish presence. Every music theory point he mentioned amazed all three of us who are music majors.
Honestly, everything about this restaurant—the decor, the food, the staff was just wow. Just like Xiaohongshu said, this is truly the pinnacle of Cantonese cuisine!“

“Had dinner there tonight celebrating my mom’s birthday, good food attentive service“

“Our favorite restaurant in UWS. The service is great. We 💗 the food with a friendly ambiance. The restaurant is clean and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.“

“Several booths inside from Cantonese to Korean. Fresh rice paste and many more delicious dishes.“

“Good authentic Cantonese food. It's really nice to have a place like this in Chinatown. Need to clean up their bathroom a little more, not having paper towels is NOT okay.“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. Thank you.“

“Superb food and presentation.. pleasantly surprised to find this level service and food in Manhattan’s original Chinatown! Felt like HongKong❣️“

“Considering all the Chinese restaurant restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown, Yin Ji Chang Fen certainly must rank among the best.“

“Great food great service. Nice price“

“We tried some other things here, but don’t have pictures for them. Butter with condensed milk toast was good. Fried bun with condensed milk was good. Milk teas were good. Beef chow fun was very tasty and silky. Beef chow mein was very good also. Usually don’t like chow mein too much, but their noodles were a bit on the softer side and I prefer that over the super crispy crunchy version. Didn’t like the pork chop onions on rice. It was bland. Their wings were okay. Overall, this place was way better than I expected, so I give it a solid 4.“

“Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good“

“The food is delicious and great customer service. Will come again?“

“I was walking home from work with my partner and we weren’t even that hungry, but we haven’t had good packing duck in the city and once we saw this place busy cute with an amazing name we knew we had to go in

The service was great. They couldn’t see right away, but it was a short 10 minute wait the staff is very attentive very on top of it.

We weren’t hungry, so we just ordered only the Peking Duk however everything looked so good. I want to order so much more but trying to eat later these days.

We also ordered a side of duck soup, which was only two dollars

Everything hit all the right spots the soup and the pecking duck were absolutely perfect. I loved everything so much that will go back and I wanna go back and try other things and maybe even order more duck. I can’t express how happy I am but it’s on my overall happiness listso five stars all the way go try this place out.“

“You cannot come here and expect Michelin style service. This is a old school local restaurant in Chinatown and is a good spot for a quick lunch or affordable dinner. I am a millennial but I frequent this restaurant because it is important to me to keep these local restaurants open for the benefit of the community. Their lunch specials are $8.50 everyday and there is a huge selection of dishes you can choose from. You can get walnut shrimp for dinner for around $20 whereas every other restaurant in the neighborhood charges $30 now.“

“We often get take outs from Xing Wong. Their Lobster Cantonese style was nicely cooked with minced pork. The roasted pig, roast duck and roast pork were very tasty. Their soy sauce stir fried noodles were delicious. We also like the shrimp with stir fried eggs. Best of all their prices are lower than most restaurants in the area!“

“I don't live near a good Chinese restaurant anymore (in my area the Chinese is all low-end take-out places with barely any vegan options) and the vast menu at Ginger Root was a delight. We loved everything we tried, including mushroom dumplings, fried king oyster mushrooms, cold green tea noodles, beef chow fun, sauteed baby bok choi, and the chocolate peanut butter bundt cake. Wish we lived nearby so we could try everything!!!“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“Definitely one of the best roasted meat in I ate. Their beef with noodles are amazing. A must try if your in Chinatown NY.“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE OLLIE’s !! The food is always consistently great!! #LoveChineseFood Super friendly staff!!!“

“The auntie at this cart pays attention to the details and does not skimp on the sauce, she used a scissor to make small openings in the noodle for the sauce to seep through to the bottom, giving a nice coating of sauce to every part of the noodles instead of letting most of the sauce pile up on top. Prices are reasonable as well!“

“Awesome food, and staff was great“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“The chicken lo mein was top tier! We also enjoyed the orange chicken too. Both had really great flavor. The service was great. Our server was attentive and the food came out fast! So glad we decided to stop in here during our quick trip to New York. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area.“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“One of the authentic NYC Chinese restaurant off the beaten path .
The lobster noodles was $30+, a great deal. We had the chicken and ang choy veggies. Bill came up to $100 with tip added.
It was a lot more food than we can take.
It was a great spot!“

“the Food Is Amazing wait staff on point great environment. highly recommend this place to anyone that's in New York City“

“I have been coming here since I was a child when they were still at their old location and it has remained my favorite Chinese restaurant. The food is always delicious and consistent. The shredded sesame chicken, scallion pancakes, and hot and sour soup are my go to dishes but everything on the menu is wonderful! The white tablecloths and beautiful atmosphere make the dining experience feel special, and the servers are always warm and caring. I leave every time feeling happy, full, and grateful this place is still just as good as ever! How many other restaurants can you say that about?“

“The staff remembers returning customers without being intrusive. This place serves visibly exceptional cuisine. Their staff maintains respectful approaches. The vibe here improves the experience. I would definitely come back if I am in the area.“

“This is my go-to spot for all Cantonese breakfast and lunch dishes.

The congee is always smooth, piping hot and stuffed with flavorful ingredients depending which one you order. Fried doughnut (youtiao) with the rice roll wrapped around it is always crunchy on the inside and soft and chewy on the outside. That pairs so well with chili oil too.

Service is fine! It’s quick and easy. You’re there to enjoy the food and the efficiency in its delivery, much less about the overall service experience. However the owner is very involved and this restaurant is a great place.“

“delicious delicious food. best with big groups.

the fried squid was yummy; crispy and salty. the beef cheung fun was bouncy. the har gao and siu mai were delish. along with the other dishes we had, we had a tasty time here.“

“Great food. Authentic. Seems like this is where the locals go, so that means something to me“

“You don't go for the surroundings. You go for the spectacular dumplings and steamed buns. The menu is very small, only 7 items, and nothing is vegetarian. They focus on sweet and meaty steamed buns, packed with flavor and so so juicy.

Best part...nothing is more than $5!“

“This small restaurant has authentic yummy Hong Kong style milk tea, so happy to find this by accident, I need a jug to take some home. It has stairs at entryway, 2 tables/stools & chairs with varied menu. Recommend, based on milk tea only.“

“Hunan Village offers a wide variety of vegetable options, including sautéed water spinach with garlic, sautéed spinach with garlic, and mixed vegetables. As a vegan, I appreciate how easy it is to find delicious plant-based dishes on their menu. I also have several special requests when ordering, such as less oil, less salt, no soy sauce, and no MSG. The staff always accommodates my needs, and my food consistently arrives prepared exactly as I requested. On top of that, the prices are very affordable. For their excellent service, attention to detail, and great value, I happily give Hunan Village a five-star review.“
