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!“

“I'm pushing 60 and I've had dim sum in many many different places including Hong Kong, Singapore, KL, Vancouver, Toronto, Seattle, LA, and NY. The taste and quality of Hey Yuet is one of the best I've ever had. This place is certainly a jewel of a find.“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“

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

“**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!“

“After years, congee village is still the best restaurant in the Chinatown area. Authentic and made-to-order food, very large portion (and relatively clean comparing to other Chinatown restaurants) You can tell dishes are made in house with top tier ingredients.

We don’t come here often, like twice pee year but since 10 years ago while the taste is consistent over years.“

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

“Went to Moon Kee This past Friday. (8/21/26) I had the Garlic Shrimp and Scallops, Shrimp Rice Roll and some dumplings. The food was prepared well; and the portion sizes were generous. Flavor was decent.

My partner and I arrived at 9:40PM. When they say they close at 10:00PM, they really mean they close at 10. The service definitely suffered based on that and the food probably does too, considering that we were told it was too late to order certain items. If you want to eat there, I suggest getting there earlier, and you'll likely have a better experience than I did. I definitely plan to try them again at an earlier hour because I feel like it may be better than what I had.“

“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!!“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“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.“

“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“

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

“I had an absolutely wonderful meal at this spot on 2nd Ave. Every single dish was presented beautifully and tasted even better.

The roasted duck was a highlight and paired perfectly with the fresh cucumber and scallions served on the wooden board. I also really enjoyed the delicate, dual-toned dumplings served in the bamboo steamer. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly well-prepared. I will definitely be back.“

“Great food great service. Nice price“

“I love their interior decor, tall celling and bright environment. Went there several times, always had a good time. Majority of the dishes are really nice , the only thing I don’t prefer is the white rice. Services is great, keep your table clean and not interrupting your conversation.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Crowded for a Saturday evening but wait wasn’t too bad.

Dinner has different prices and menu from lunch.

Wanton shrimp dumpling noodle soup - the prawns were bouncy and excellent. Noodles weren’t too astringent either, quite silky. Broth was delicious.

Peking duck - skin was pretty crispy, and meat was okay tender. But pricy for the portion at $36. Lots of people were ordering it.

Service is usual gruff Chinese waitstaff but they were attentive. Lots of people were BYOB.

Free mango pudding dessert after the meal was a nice touch!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Really liked this place! The steamed dishes were light and fresh, and I love that they don’t use too much oil or seasoning so you can actually taste the ingredients. The soup was also really good and comforting. Everything tasted fresh and clean, the prices are very reasonable, and I felt great after the meal without feeling heavy at all. Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“Food and service is amazing!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“One of the best and most authentic dim sum spots in New York. Even on a weekday they have carts, serving hot and delicious steamers. . The servers and staff are very friendly and helpful the food is amazing. It's a real gem. give it a try“
