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.“

“Food was overall good and had some interesting fusion dishes. The highlights were:
- steamed fish
- pork ribs
- fried rice with chasiu
- roast duck

It is pricy for sure but the atmosphere was mostly nice.

Sesame noodles were a little overcooked though!“

“Been coming here since I was a wee thing with family. Food has always been fantastic, ambience is always lively. This last visit was the same. Service isn’t as attentive as I’d like it to be but it’s efficient. This restaurant is an NYC staple for me, I bring so many folks here for the wide variety in dishes.“

“signage was so small - almost walked rigjt past it

quaint casual neighborhood restaurant - great vegetable chow fun - sauteed just right!

only wish I went with friends to sample more dishes.

Definitely worth a return visit.“

“Delicious, quick and cash only. We got the fish ball and the ha mai rice rolls which both were excellent. There is not any designated sitting areas but there are some steps along the block where you can lean/sit for a bit to enjoy your freshly made meal“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

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

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

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“I’m a regular. This review is long overdue. Have been going here since opening. This is about as authentic as you get for dim sum and Cantonese classic comfort food, especially in Manhattan, without having to go to Chinatown. Cafe style. Pricing is reasonable. Great addition to UWS. Highly recommend.“

“It was my first time coming here. I would give 4.3 stars to 5 stars. I have the steamed rice roll mixed sauce, soy sauce egg fried noodles, curry fish balls and fried wonton with a Iced HK Style Milk Tea. Some were good and other foods not that special. I loved the steamed rice roll mixed sauce. It is bit on the sweeter side. But if you loved peanut butter in it. It might be just right for others. Next time if I do get a chance to go again, I would try without the sesame seeds on top. More sauce and less peanut butter. Hopefully it is as good how they usually make it. For the soy sauce egg fried noodles, it was delicious. Loved the portion and that they did not put a lot of sauce to make it very salty. This seems like it is good portion for 1 or 2 people or sharing all the dishes is also a good option. I was okay with the curry fish balls, feels like it it needs a little bit more curry and little bit more spice, it would been perfect. Nothing special. But it was not to bad to try. Compared to the ones that I have tried before from other places, either there is no curry taste or no spice or too spicy and over powdery of the curry taste. As for the fried wonton, nothing special. It has meat and a piece of shrimp with sweet sauce on the side. The iced HK milk tea was good. It just get little watered down after for a bit. But still good. Overall, everything was great. The service, food and atmosphere was good. But they do preferred cash over card. I would recommend Cha Kee.“

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

“Very good food , we ordered crispy fried chicken with garlic sauce , fried tofu , streamed fish and clam with black beans sauce. There are very yummy.
They serve with hot tea in starter and also free chicken soup !! Good one.
Atmosphere was ok , a bit busy and loud.

Good service from staffs and reasonable price.
I would comeback and recommend!!“

“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.“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

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

“Awesome food, and staff was great“

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

“Low key the standout dish was the cucumber salad - best one I’ve ever had. The lamb skewers were bomb and ofc the duck was fab! Loved the fried fish too, fancy presentation. Avoid your instinct to order the scallion pancakes bc those were kind of a flop but everything else we ordered was 🔥🔥🔥“

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

“Our party of 7 came here on a Saturday evening with a reservation. The restaurant is in a hotel but the space is huge and they have tables of various sizes. I'm not too familiar with the cuisine so my friends who are, ordered for the table and I thought all the food was really good. They also have some cocktails at a reasonable price which were good but nothing to call home about. They also have tea that they will refill which was great.“

“I work in a unit above the restaurant, so I've gotten food here easily over a hundred times.

The roast meats are all amazing.

The lunch special (to-go only) is insane value, just utterly insane. There are like a million options and you can customize your own pairings... I really recommend bitter melon + scrambled egg!!

Anyway. This place rocks, one of the most consistent (I've tried like 90% of the huge menu and besides one or two things everything has been amazing) restaurants I've been to.“

“Tin Wong is a casual Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown known for its roasted meats, rice plates, congee, and other classic Hong Kong-style comfort dishes. The restaurant has a simple, no-frills atmosphere that keeps the focus on generous portions, quick service, and traditional flavors.

The char siu rice was the highlight for me. The roasted pork was tender with a nice balance of sweetness and caramelization, and it was served in a generous portion over rice that made for a satisfying meal. It is the type of dish that delivers good value without sacrificing flavor.

Beyond the barbecue meats, the menu includes roast duck, congee, wonton noodles, and other Cantonese staples. There is enough variety to appeal to both quick lunch visits and larger meals, especially if you want to try a few traditional dishes.

Service was efficient, which fits the fast-paced atmosphere of Chinatown. The restaurant can get busy during peak hours, but the food comes out quickly and the casual setting makes it an easy stop when exploring the neighborhood.

Overall, Tin Wong is a solid choice for classic Cantonese comfort food. The char siu rice stands out for its portion size and flavor, making it a place I would return to when craving traditional Hong Kong-style barbecue.“

“Great food great service. Nice price“

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

“I love this place! I've been going here for maybe 4 years. The food is always AMAZING. 10/10 DELICIOUS! I had The spring rolls which were not super oily or greasy. I had the soy nuggets very crispy and flavorful on the inside. Very tender and moist on the inside. Great texture inside and out. I had a peach tea. I also had the soy basil with the brown rice. The soy basil was very mild in flavor, not overwhelming which was excellent and the rice is always cooked to perfection, not super soggy or hard. I've been thinking of coming back here or ordering from here all year, even late last year at because I haven't been around the area. And I haven't stopped thinking about it for several months. I'm finally happy that was able to have some food from here and I feel satisfied. Thank you so much! I will always come back here. Your food is excellent. I hope you stay open with so many Vegan restaurants closing around the city lately. This should be a staple. Thank you again!“

“An Incredible Chinese Food Experience – Absolutely Delicious!

What a fantastic discovery! Wu’s Wonton King was one of my most memorable food experiences in New York.

First, the wonton soup was absolutely sensational! The delicate dumplings, the wonderful garlic flavor, and the rich, delicious broth made it one of the best soups I have ever tasted. I was genuinely impressed!

We also ordered Peking duck, which was beautifully fresh and carved right in front of us. Watching it being prepared was part of the experience, and the taste was excellent.

And then came something completely new for me: duck feet! I had seen them before but had never actually tried them. I decided to be adventurous, and what a surprise! They were delicious! The duck wings were excellent too, especially with that wonderful sauce. These collagen-rich traditional dishes may look unusual if you’re not familiar with them, but they are definitely worth trying.

We also had another sliced meat dish, possibly pork cheek, which tasted fantastic.

What amazed me was how affordable everything was. Some of the smaller dishes cost only around $3 to $6. Such wonderful flavors for such reasonable prices!

The atmosphere felt authentic, traditional, and wonderfully homey. I loved experiencing Chinese food beyond the dishes I usually know.

Another lovely touch was the complimentary pot of tea served with our meal.

If you’re curious about traditional Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend coming here with an open mind and trying something new. Sometimes the dishes that look the most unfamiliar turn out to be the most delicious!

Outstanding soup, wonderful Peking duck, incredible flavors, and excellent value for money. An unforgettable experience!“

“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.“

“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 food at this newly opened restaurant was excellent. My family of 15 ate here for the Mid-Autumn festival and ordered a variety of dishes- including a salted fish fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, pan fried flounder, etc. All were excellent. The service is standard. The restaurant also got really loud so it was difficult to hear across the table.“

“This was my first time experiencing anything like this and I gotta admit at first I was overwhelmed but thankfully I was with someone who had been before and it was great. Their tea was so delicious, the food was fantastic. The staff was super helpful and friendly and I loved everything about the place, thank you!“

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

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

“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.“

“Nice place with variety in menu too healthy & full of taste , I mostly checked in here for luch
They have wide variety of luch options where we can choose from soups , rice and protein of our choice , they have all variety of flavors to calm our taste buds and keep us full

I had tried many luch options out of which my recommendations would be
Spicy basil chicken
Shrimps with hot pepper peanuts
lamb with ginger and scallions
with their egg drop soup and brown rice
Staffs are very friends and welcoming and best part is service here is so quick“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“Quick, fresh and efficient street food! The rice noodle rolls and the fish balls were delicious especially drenched in the sauces. It seems to be a local favourite because there were decent amount of customers in and out. I would come back again for this.“

“So glad to finally have a solid Cantonese restaurant in UWS. Not cheap but it is to be expected given the prime location in UWS. Have had two dinners so far since opening. I am a Cantonese native and have eaten at many of the finest Cantonese restaurants around the world, especially in Hong Kong and Vancouver. We have tried Peking Duck, Aberdeen style (salt and pepper) Dungeness crab, Yang Chow fried rice, wanton soup and scallop fried rice. While they are not a 100% match to the most authentic high-end Cantonese restaurants elsewhere, Wu’s Dynasty does offer a pretty solid selection, albeit a bit modified in ingredients and style. The taste and texture of what we have tried are very good.“

“Love love Xi Ne Du! Their soups and dishes give total home-cooked comfort vibes

Perfect spot if you're craving authentic, nourishing homemade soups and good herbal tea.

A12 Conch Soup 4.5/5: Light and refreshing!

Chicken & Chinese Mushroom 4.5/5: Super tender chicken over rice

A16 Herbal Pork Backbone Soup 4/5: Very herbal and full of nourishing ingredients!

Salted Fish Pork Patty 4/5: Good flavor, though the salted fish was subtle

Pro Tips: The menu changes daily, so there’s always something new! Also, bring cash since they are cash only“

“Fantastic Sichuan restaurant right in the neighborhood! We had the fish, mushroom dish, and Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce — all delicious and full of authentic flavor. Great for families too, with plenty of non-spicy options for kids alongside the classic Sichuan heat. Staff were friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I ordered with too good to go, and the food was so yummy! I think my onigiri had fish in it, and it was so delicious. The tea was also very warming & the lady who handed me the food was super sweet. If I’m back in New York I’d love to come and sit down here.“

“The food was absolutely amazing the most authentic food I've ever had in America, everyone was super nice and the food came very quick and is priced nicely. I had saw photos of food from Google Maps and ordered off the menu for the combination someone had on Google Maps and they were very accommodating with a good price. Truly a must visit place if you're in the area and looking for food that is truly authentic.“

“As a abc who cant read chinese, I asked them about their special menu. I also got soup with meal, as long as you are cantonese speaking you are treated as one of them. this restaurant seems to be a cantonese regular. You heard a lot of cantonese“

“This is our 4th time back to Xing Wong and the food and service continued to be excellent. We invited all 6 of our children and their spouses for a sit down lunch for a total of 10 dishes from beef and shrimp steamed rice rolls, roast duck, fish with bitter melons, chow fun, fried rice, general Zhao's chicken, Peking Pork Chop, Fried Calamari, and stir fried peapod shoots. My son the calamari expert proclaimed this was in the top 5 of his favorite restaurants. The General Zhao’s chicken was a bit sweet for my taste and we would’ve preferred dark instead of white meat. This was not a big negative as the services was prompted, courteous and warm. This meal left us with a positive experience and we’ll back for more.“

“After 40 years of going.. food and the servers are still the best! Love going!“

“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!“

“Best pig ears and pork belly!!! Must try if you're there!
Duck had a perfect drieness. But I am concerned whether the smoke aroma comes from the natural process or from the liquid chemical.
Service is quick and welcoming.“

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