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.“

“I had been to this space in previous concept iterations and decided to check it out before a show around the corner at Blue Note one night.

Needless to say I was taken away by the full meal from the setting, to the service, to the meal and feel like we have had 4 or 5 courses looking back at it. Whatever the french toast dessert was out of this world but so was the crispy duck and pasta dish I’m blanking on the name of. All were delicious and the service was equally as great.

Will definitely come back again. Thanks team 🙏🏽“

“We had a fantastic meal here on a Sunday afternoon with our family. The dim sum was authentic and delicious, the vegetable dishes were extremely fresh and not overcooked, and the noodle dishes superb. Loved the soup dumplings and the cha siu bao. We ordered a good amount of food and had a hard time picking out favorite dish because everything was so good.. The staff were also very accommodating; we ended up with an additional person in our group, which they made work for our seating. I look forward to going back!“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

“**CASH ONLY**

I tried Sun Hing Lung because of a recommendation on reddit. It's truly iconic, and SHL has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the entire city. Where else can you get a meal for less than $5?

The rice rolls are delicious—of course, keep your expectations in check re: amount of protein. But adding the soy sauce, sriracha, + mystery yellow sauce takes everything to the next level.

This place feels like one of the most authentic in all of Chinatown. And you can tell by the line of people, young & old who seek the best rice rolls in NYC. Service is quick.

Don't sleep on the other items though. In particular, the sweet tofu pudding is like eating a cloud. It's the perfect complement to the heat and flavors from the savory rice rolls.

After you finish up at SHL, head over to Jin Mei (just down the block) for $5 pork dumplings. Henry Street is where it's at!“

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

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

“Lychee ice was delicious and quite sweet, with a few real lychees in it. The braised lobster with scallions was a bit too salty. The osmanthus vermicelli and egg soup actually had a hint of osmanthus fragrance. The quality of their dishes is relatively consistent.“

“This is a place I visit occasionally because it's very close to home.
Overall, the portion sizes and food quality are excellent for the price. The meals are satisfying, and I feel it offers great value compared to many other options in the area.
It's a convenient and reliable spot that I’m happy to return to from time to time.“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“This is a very crowded most of the time Chinese restaurant in NYC Chinatown, and the prices are still reasonable. The ingredients are fresh, but sometimes they are so so busy, the take out orders don't look like they should. But I must say, the Cantonese cuisine is one if the best in any city.“

“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.“

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

“It almost pains me to write a review here because it’s such a hidden gem for NYC but this is probably the best Peking duck restaurant in the city. The food is so authentic (trust me I was just in China). The other dishes are also a hit. Dishes are very flavourful without the heavy saltiness or MSG feeling you get in many Asian restaurants. The vibes feel very homey but the food quality is supreme. I think it’s family-run so I love supporting local business!“

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

“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.“

“Great food great service. Nice price“

“Had a wonderful dinner at Fu Yao today. The food was excellent, but what made the experience truly special was our server, YY. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and provided top-notch service throughout the night. Will definitely come back!“

“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.“

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

“Awesome food, and staff was great“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Was in town for an overnight and was able to catch the $15 lunch special which I considered very reasonable for NYC and it’s an all vegan restaurant. I got the vegan orange chicken, white rice, slice of pumpkin, spring roll, and hot and sour soup. Everything was delicious. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-13“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at Caotang. The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. My favorite dish was the fresh pepper fish. The fish was incredibly tender and soaked up the savory, aromatic sauce perfectly. The spicy frog was also delicious, with juicy meat and a bold peppery kick. I also enjoyed the stir-fried beef, which was tender and well seasoned. Every dish had its own character, and the spice level was exciting without overwhelming the flavors. The portions were generous, and everything paired perfectly with rice. Definitely a great spot for authentic Sichuan food in NYC!“

“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“

“Every time I go to this location it feels like I'm going to my cousin's house! The workers are so friendly and I go so often that it seems they all know my name now lol. I'm just sad Wonder removed my favorite meal from the menu 😩 I will be reaching out to corporate because how dare they!? Lol The zesty Chicken bowl from Yasas is absolute GOLD in the form of food!“

“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.“

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

“Unique menu items that reflect traditional Chinese/Cantonese regional flavors. Fair portion sizes that won’t cost you an arm & leg.

Most special are their traditional soups with many beneficial Chinese ingredients that are normally found in home cooking.

Menu items do run out towards end of the day.

takeout containers are very well sealed and sturdy.

boss man is nice and friendly.

cash only.“

“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.“

“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“

“Food and service is amazing!“

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

“Pretty good overall, but the food could be better. Unfortunately, I can tell that the food has been pre-prepared way ahead of time. It was a Monday morning that we went and perhaps it is not the busiest day of the week, but I really expected a little bit higher quality. But overall, it is not bad. I do recommend it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We are from Australia here on vacation, and we stopped in to grab some dinner while walking back to our hotel. Their food is absolutely delicious. Generous servings, well priced and great service. You cannot get good Chinese food like this in Australia these days, despite the large Chinese population. This place is a gem and highly recommended. The General Tso's chicken was sooooo good. My wife's pork noodles were also really tasty.

We will be back before we travel back home.“

“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!“

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

“Good food at a decent price in a well-lit restaurant. Very happy with my meal.“

“Very good food helpful and very good service“
