I love the tequila and flowers cocktail 🌸 This place always has good vibes, my go to for a late night drink!

Mr Fong’s is exactly what is says on the label. It’s low key, it’s not huge (so it can get crowded), but the bar staff a lovely & make a decent drink

This bar is pretty denk! Outta the way, kinda hidden, veo nice cocktail selection and great cozy atmosphere

Great place to grab cocktails in this neighborhood. Perfect for grabbing a post meal drink after Golden Diner.

Incredible cocktails in unique Chinatown location. Beware it can get crowded- visit in the off hours to really enjoy.

Great dive in the Chinatown area. Can be busy of the weekend but not a bad thing. Definitely a locals place

Great bar with cocktails or cheap beer.

A great, friendly corner bar. The bartenders are very good and can handle the busy bar! I reserved a table for my birthday and they were very accommodating. Would highly recommend this off the beaten path bar!

Stopped in here a day ago for drinks and quiet time before Fourth celebrations. Tom the bartender was super awesome and personable. The pickle plate rocked. Highly recommended!

Amazing cocktails - we had a moscow mule & a green tea cocktail both were excellent - decent price point. We liked the weird 60s movie that was playing on the projector

Go to watering hole in Chinatown. Enjoy phenomenal old fashions in the dimly lit ambiance amongst the cool lower east and street wear crowd. Playing all types of rap and dance music in the evenings, this has become one of my go to spots in lower manhattan.

Went here with a friend and my only complaint is that I don’t live closer to this bar because wow. This place has a great vibe, better cocktails, and wonderful bar snacks.

Short but fun cocktail list. The snacks are great. Love the pickles and the pork buns even though I'd hesitate to call them pork buns.

Friendly neighborhood bar in the soul of Chinatown. Good, chill vibe, and crucially not overrun. Reasonably priced wines, beers, cocktails. Cute bartender with beard. What more could you want?

Damn; welcome to the dragons den, get ready for the smoke show. If the stiff drinks weren't reason enough, the handful of 8,9, and 10s will keep you anchored to your seat until the G&Ts start working. The kind of place you think about half way around the world...

Came here Sunday night. Cozy, laidback, and welcoming atmosphere. Great music and cocktails. Wonderful staff. This bar is a gem.

Mr. Fongs is divey but clean with a fun selection of Chinese inspired cocktails. Right under the Manhattan bridge it's a great place to start an evening.

Cozy dive bar, especially in the winter when the windows are frosted with snow and have the gleams of the street lights adding a glow to the inside of Fong's. The drinks are quality. I got a cocktail called Fong’s Colada (I think was the name) even after the bartender mentioned it reminded him of a coconutty pad Thai. He was spot on (but in a tasty way!) and it remains one of my favorite cocktails to date. Side note: Somehow everyone here is attractive including the staff.

This has been such a great and welcomed addition to the neighborhood. It's my favorite place to stop by after work or bring friends who are visiting. It does get crowded at night, but the bartenders keep up with the pace and it's still a fun vibe.

Very unique atmosphere tucked away under the bridge (although be prepared for a train noise if seated outside). Great neighborhood vibe. Fantastic, friendly bar staff and creative drink menu. The tequila zombie with Sichuan peppercorn infusion was one of my favorite drinks of all time. I can't wait to go back.

Chill vibe! Very good atmosphere with just the right music volume

A guy I was briefly seeing introduced me to this place, and I was really pleased. We came around 8 on a Friday, and it wasn’t very busy until 10ish. This is definitely a great find. The drinks were moderately priced, but the atmosphere was very relaxed. Seems like most people come here after a long day at work. No creepy people at the bar! And a cool design bathroom.

Impeccable vibes, incredible drinks, and spacious booth seating

This is a cool place to hangout- great music, cool mix of people, and interesting drinks (not too $$). I got the Salted-Plum Bourbon drink, which I'm sure would have been amazing for someone who's into Bourbon, and the Green Tea Daiquiri, which was so good. It's a cozy place that would be great for small groups or just a couple of people. If you want a seat, you probably have to get there before 12.

Truly the most underrated Gem in Chinatown. There is no other bar that combines the laid back cool of your favorite dive bar with just the right amount of sophistication to draw in the most eclectic mix of artistic, hedonistic patrons.

It's too bad I don't live closer to here. Totally my vibe, totally my kind of crowd and totally my kind of drink menu. Fong's Colada is one of the tastiest drinks I've had in a while! Staff super duper friendly and on a desolate street. Welcome to NY

Nice chill urban city vibe. Friendly staff, and the candle was delicious.

Wow is all I have to say! We thought for sure we were lost as we all consulted our phones/maps to find the place, but the GPS said we were there. It's very inconspicuous, minimal signage, and totally worth it. Really enhances the feeling when you finally walk in. Small, tropical, speakeasy vibes. Focus on delicious cocktails. Really nice decor.

Drinks & vibe are fun + lovely. Friday night music is perfection.

Simple no frills bar in the Lower East Side. Great drinks, friendly staff and only a stumble away from my doorstep. I'm happy to say I got to experience the dancing bunny. Usually she just stops 2 or 3 times, but she was definitely digging the music today.

Cool little bar for happy hour with a friend who I haven't seen in a while. She had a beer and I ordered a taquila cocktail, which name escapes me... it has flowers in it and a slight spicey kick. Plenty of cocktails on the menu that are mildly priced, if taquila isn't your jam. Got there at around 630p when it was still quiet and made small talk w/ the funny bartender. I read people describe Mr. Fong's as a dive and while it might be as comfortable as one - it's a bit nicer than most dives I've been to. They also serve some pretty good food from the looks of it.

One of my absolute favorite bars in manhattan! Cheap beers, scorpion bowls are a fun novelty thing if you’re into liquor on fire. A lovely time here always

Very cute bar with savory cocktails. I enjoyed my peperoncini martini

Beat the owner on Pokémon Showdown. Such a legend and amazing bar.

If you’ve never tried the Fong’s Colada, just be prepared to potentially fall in love with it (P.S. shoutout to Georgia aka the best bartender everrrrrrrr)

Went for a quick drink to celebrate my twin cousins' 21st birthday and the vibe was vibin'😊 The candles, the music, the scent of the bar, the bartender, EVERYTHING was a vibe. Think of low-fi music as a bar and that's pretty much it. I never got the name of the bartender I had for tonight but he was awesome and very polite. Always asked us if we needed anything and if we were enjoying ourselves. He even charged one of my cousins and my phones😁 I hope he gets a raise 😊

Inam Kang

love the staff here and the vibe. good wine and a great 4am spot for the weekends- crowded because the vibe is good and that’s classic LES. ami, bobby, marcelo, umberto all the staff is so good at serving everyone even when it’s busy. one of my favorite bars in the area!!! was here for my birthday and everyone was so good to all my friends and the sudden rush. def stop by any time of the night and play some pool, lighting is excellent and romantic in a way that is unique for the late night in this area, highly recommend

Taylor Avery

Lower east side staple. Always an amazing time here! Cool people n cooler vibes.

Dashiel Brahmann

Solid bar, great vibes. LES classic, if you’re in the area and never been it’s a must

Justin Wilson

I never write reviews, because frankly, no thank you lol, but as a small business owner and a long-time patron, I feel the need to celebrate one of my fav spots in NYC. Fong’s is for everyone. They have arguably one of the most diverse and talented staff’s in NYC nightlife, the menu is unfussy, there are drink options across budgets, the music is always good, and the atmosphere is perfect. Since the pandemic, every new bar wants to be some version of something that existed before, so I appreciate their consistency. Also shout out to their manager Bobby because that dude is a legend. Last thing, if you don’t tip, you should probably do some self-reflecting, because that’s some Karen shit lol. Long live Fong’s!

Stephanie Broffman

Small, quaint bar. Good drinks, good prices. Has one pool table and a couple of booths. Nice vibe.

Natalia Kochneva

Great bar! The music is perfectly balanced—not too loud to drown out conversation, but loud enough to create an immersive atmosphere. The dark, intimate lighting is perfect for an evening out, without any harsh spotlight glare. There’s also a billiards table for some fun, casual play. The cocktails are top-notch; I tried two different tequila drinks—one with tropical flavors and another with hibiscus—and both were serious, well-crafted cocktails. They even serve an interesting snack combo of chips and crackers. Highly recommended!

Andrew Chow

Really cool and small bar. So chill and the drinks taste amazing

Alison Pouw

absolute hole in the wall. absolutely love it. great cocktails. fav vibe but will be busy on the weekend. bring your ID. super creative cocktails and funky vibe. a touch of brooklyn in manhattan.

Shad Berry

Love this little bar tucked away in Chinatown. Great service, friendly bartenders. Chill place - you don’t feel like you don’t belong, and you don’t feel rushed. You can even bring your bike in (as long as it’s not crowded) if you’re like me and care deeply for your bicycle 😄 I haven’t had the food here, but they have Malaysian jerky and pork buns on the menu which I am a fan of. I’m assuming they must be good because they are in Chinatown - right next to the great spots making these foods. Can’t wait to go back and try out more drinks and bites.

Antoinette Silva

The perfect hangout by yourself or with friends. I went with my cousin and his friends - the vibe was mellow and funky all night between the music, lighting, and team.. I would recommend!

Jonathan Ong

Cross between a dive bar and a trendy setting. The inside has a really good atmosphere. The bathroom is divey. Came for casual drinks and Mr Fongs delivered. Spent around $50 for 2 beers and 2 cocktails.

Grzegorz Rozum

It looks like a dive bar but it's just more than that. The Place is small but not overcrowded with tables and chairs. Drinks are great and not too pricey considering it's Manhattan. If you are around, step in and get a drink you won't be disappointed.

I came here for lunar new year from Chinatown for their Asian inspired drinks which were good and very cheap compared to regular Manhattan cocktails!

Thaddaeus Dahlberg

Chill in just the right way. Thoughtful house created cocktails. Fongs colada with tamarind flavorings was a refreshing summer drink.

Liz Raschke

This place legit looked closed down from the outside. Walked in, and it was great! Hidden gem. Very hole in the wall feel. It has a nice clean atmosphere, with maybe 4 booths and a long bar set up. Somehow the duct tape on the booth added charm. Nice cocktails, 4 types of draft beer. If I am in Chinatown again I'd definitely come back.

Meet me at Mr. Fong's during off hours. The seclusive bar comes alive when it's chill with a sparse clientele. Linger and smooth your mind over with couple cocktails. This may become your third place.

Cute small bar in Chinatown. They have techniques sl1200s in the dj booth but the dj that night wasn't using them. They also don't have a serve-your-self water.

Great little bar to relax at for a couple drinks with friends. Not pretentious, always a plus, and drinks are very reasonably priced.

Cute little bar. The staff were really cool and made me something to eat even though it was quite late. Appreciate it.

Ginger beer and Malaysian beef jerky was really good. Their fong's colada tasted like thai coconut curry.

Very friendly service. Not a great beer selection but they have amazing cocktails.

Great small spot with great drinks, and wonderful bartenders. Nice pool table and good crowd...

Went there late night one evening. Drinks are good. They have cheap cans and drafts to nicely designed cocktails. DJ was spinning away. Great space... though it was tight with lil sitting area.

Met up with a group of friends on a Friday night for their going away party. Accordingly, we had a couple tables all to ourselves, which was nice. Fun early aughts throwback hip hop and R&B kept everyone dancing and singing. Everyone went after the mezcal carrot drink which was good but varied person to person. Forget what I got but it was good. Not the carrot drink.

A few of their cocktails are made with peppery liquor so be wary if that's not what you're in to. Nice to find a place that isn't overcrowded and has reasonable prices. Artwork hanging on the walls is cool. Dark red booths were cool and the music was cool too. Very happy with this place.

This is a great place for afterwork drinks, a date, or a 2 am nightcap. The drinks are reasonably priced, and quite good. Signature drinks can be very sweet, if you're into that kind of thing. The best part about this place is the music, they're all over the map with tunes, and can go from 50 Cent to David Bowie with little warning (awesome, I know). Just be careful, it gets a bit crowded in here during busy hours. Also, no food.

What a nice little find, it's been on my list to try out but I have not found my self in the area in need of a bar till now. I'll start off with the staff, who are all super friendly with great sense of humor even when the place is busy. The bar it's self is small and does get crowded. Drinks are good and priced in the middle of the road for NYC. We where there on Saturday night, no queues unlike a lot of places and the atmosphere was pumping. Fueled by the great music being pumped out by there DJ. The rest now is up to you, if your looking for a spot especially on busy nights in the area I would suggest giving this place a shot. Have fun.

The vibe reminded me of a classic LES dive/rock and roll-type spot. I was there in the late afternoon and had a couple beers but the few other people were ordering cocktails that looked good. Velvet Underground and other NYC punk on the stereo - neighborhood bar by day more rocking in the evening - that's my guess. Seemed like my kind of place.

$10-13 cocktails, which is very reasonable for the area. hella loud inside but chill outdoor patio seating. bartenders don’t vibe you out and feel very wholesome—apologize for waiting long, etc. don’t bring outside drinks. the old fashioned is ($10) straight up just bitters and bourbon so it’s a good cheap option for getting lit. i live across the street so it’s reasonable for my needs. nearby dumplings, golden diner and cash cigs.

Mr. Fong's is a great bar choice in Chinatown that has a really cool vibe and decent drinks. The outside is unassuming and we even walked passed it looking for the entrance. Once inside you’re greeting by a warm interior, potted plants, a cool jukebox, and some affordable drinks! The cocktail prices are around $12, which is pretty competitive to other cocktail bars in Chinatown. I ordered a Tequila and Flowers, which was a good drink, not outstanding. Would love to come back and try the group drinks, but would need to come earlier to get a table as the small bar tends to get packed! Come here if you want a cool low key vibe and some decent drinks with friends!

Well worth the walk deep into Two Bridges-pleasantly surprised to find an oasis behind an unassuming facade. Even when packed and at standing room only, the bartender still made sure to take my order promptly. Potentially my new favorite neighborhood spot. Unique and original vibe, definitely will come back!

Great hole in the wall bar with buzzy art vibes. Had an excellent whiskey sour but the music was a little bit too loud. Would definitely come back.

unique spot on the Chinatown/Two Bridges border that has a great ambience and well made cocktails

Nice, intimidate bar with decent drinks!

A decent little bar, dimly lit and very vibey, with handmade cocktails and a very hipstery vibe. They have a pool table and a few tables to sit - the seats aren’t particularly comfortable, but the ambiance is excellent. The drinks were just ok, and maybe a little on the steep side in terms of price, but this is a great place to stop for a round or to come for date night!

Christine Kim

the ambiance is great as long as you can hear yourself. maybe it was just a rowdy night? but we could barely hear ourselves once people really started coming in. the snack mix is a fun bag of typical asian fried crackers. you're really paying (heftily) for the dim lights and middle-of-nowhereness.

Hot, small bar, and pretty crowded. The drinks were affordable, but there was only one bartender.

Not a very fun bar for a saturday night if you are expecting lot's of people or any dancing. They did have a few dogs inside for some reason though. That's a plus!

Great service and a nice atmosphere, but the place needs a little TLC. Or a lot. It's run down, and the bathrooms are all but destroyed

So torn about this place. Loved it when it first opened, and it's still a great low key spot. But they got ride of my favorite drink and it's just not the same.

Great place to drink and hang with a young vivacious crowd. I would give it 4 stars, but the Jukebox didn't work right.

I like the atmosphere here but when we went it was hard to get the bartender’s attention (she seemed to be deliberately ignoring us), and no one checked for proof of vaccination which made me uncomfortable

Caleb Edkins

The cocktails were enjoyable, but the venue was very crowded when we visited, so we had to stand throughout. If you're able to secure a seat, it’s likely a much better experience. I would try to go earlier in the evening.

Unique bar in Chinatown with cheap drinks but no AC. We left after one drink because it was too hot inside

Great drinks, awful "five years out of college" crowd. The best time to come is for happy hour between 6-7 when the space is at its calmest to avoid the high-pitched "WOO girl" crowd that overwhelms the bar afterward.

Not sure why this is given such high ratings. It's ok. In the middle of nowhere. Feel the place is not really clean. Bartender touches money then just grabs olives with his bare hands and puts it in my martini. I'd consider this a dive bar, but with higher prices

i am by no means a dim sum connoisseur, but i have been to few different spots around chinatown and i have to say this was my least favorite. the overall quality of food was lacking along with variety. the carts that were being pushed around seemed to have the same mix of food on them. my chinese friend ended up having to just order/ request the couple of dishes that we were looking for but couldnt find. we also got an order of beef chow mein, while a generous portion it was lacking in overall flavor and tasted a bit burnt. to further echo the my fellow yelpers, service here could use some improvement. i get it, usually people don't drink ice water at dim sum. but it doesnt mean you should stare right through me when im waving my empty water glass at you. this is a large space, so it was easy to get a table, but i'd rather wait in line at jing fong than come back here. there was a general feeling of dirtiness.

The cocktails they serve are not bad, however do not go if you don't/can't drink alcohol. I was there with a pregnant friend of mine, the menu doesn't include any non alcoholic drinks, and when we asked, we were told they didn't have any options without alcohol. No effort at all to even create / suggest one drink without alcohol, which is outrageous.

I honestly really want to like this bar, I really do. But every time I come here the staff is pretty rude and pretentious as well as the customers in it… Drinks are fine but might as well go to a dive bar at this point..

Worst service. Hopefully it is a one off problem by one particular bartender. I hope they will have better bartenders cuz the vibe there is amazing. Till then, beware the poorness of service there can sometimes ruin your night.

I had been wanting to come to this bar for so long and since I am moving from New York I finally decided to check it out. Unfortunately I am so disappointed by my experience or lack there of. I arrived with a small group of friends to a bar that was barely busy and was purposely ignored by the bartender for over 10 minutes who would look at us (my friend and I are poc) And proceed to serve other patrons who came after us. We left without getting acknowledged or getting served. A very unfortunate experience for a bar with such a promising vibe

Eric Cheng

Bartender asked what was wrong with the drinks and then stared at me until I handed over cash. Tipping is customary in NYC, but pressuring a guest like that for a $35 tab crossed a line and left a bad impression

Kylie G.

A friend treated me to drinks and didn’t tip. And they refused to service me from then on. They were short and dismissive. Saying they didn’t want to service up because we didn’t tip??? I’ve never not tipped but they definitely lost a customer. Update: Later found out the bartender put his hand in my friend’s face when she was trying to help someone else who couldn’t reach the bar. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional.

The bartender was extremely rude. Seemed he didn’t want us there. We were so pleasant to him and he was purposely rude and unwelcoming
