Affordable, very efficient and friendly sister-restaurant of the crazy popular Wo Hop situated next door. Cash only. Beer $5. After waiting 10 minutes in the queue next door with the family we decided to jump to next door. Same owners and a slightly smaller menu but with most of the classics. Enjoyed it all, especially the Beef with garlic, fried dumplings & noodles. Evening finished off with a sliced orange; fortune cookies and a reasonable bill with reasonable 16% tip added.

Great affordable place, popular with locals rather than touristy Wo Hop next door. Great soups, huge portions. They have some beer and even a couple of wine options but no separate menu for drinks. Free tea served in the beginning is very pleasant. Cash only.

Today we took the A line from Far Rockaway straight into Chinatown to get some real Chinese cuisine. Guess what, y’all? No border pass needed 😄 We originally came for Wo Hop, but the line was a bit long. Luckily, Wo Hop Next Door welcomed us immediately and seated us right away. We ordered hot tea, beef fried rice, and beef with onions and peppers. The fried rice came in a healthy portion with great texture—eggs scrambled throughout and light sprinkles of vegetables. The beef with onions and peppers was full of flavor and cooked in a delicious, savory broth. Heads up: the restaurant is cash only, so my digital babies—come prepared. The service was no-nonsense but fast and efficient, exactly what you want in a spot like this. 9/10 recommend. Way better than your local Chinese joint—this one’s worth the trip.

We arrived around 4:30pm and waited in line 15 minutes. Then we were taken to a different line... one for small groups (we were only 2). Small groups were seated upstairs, large groups went down stairs. I don't know what its like down there but I did overhear a local insisting his group wanted to eat downstairs. Simple setting, good food, waiter a bit abrupt and pushy, but not too the point of being offensive (just being NY).

Food was pretty good. We finished all of the plates. A solid 7.5/10

They have many things on the menu. Maybe I haven’t ordered right, the food was just okay… very big quantity…

A simple Chinatown restaurant with delicious razor clams with black bean sauce. This is the main reason to eat here. Other dishes are also good but not at the same level as others in Chinatown.

We went for their egg rolls! They were really yummy and crispy, and we didn’t realize how big they’d be!! They do have a lot of cabbage in them though. This is a cash only place which they have signs reminding you, so bring cash!

Simple Chinese food, quick service, well priced, and filling! Exactly what we were looking for. The sweet and sour pork was a bit more batter than we would prefer, but it was still tasty. Be aware this is cash only!

There are some good dishes and some ok dishes. The fish filet with tofu was delicious as hell, a highlights of the lunch, and so was the fresh pork w. String beans(delicious,but little compared to other places), the squid salt and pepper was good, the Peking pork chops was another great dish, crispy enough and still tender and juicy, and still be able other grab some flavor of the Peking sauce. The fremented bean curds w. ong choy(water spinach) was blan(as usual). The beef w. Eggplant with spicy sauce, turned into just Eggplant with spicy sauce😤. It was ok. The garlic chicken could have been fried longer, I mean it was still soft, not crunchy at all. The pork curry with chow fun, was actually roast pork with curry tomatoes w. chow fun(was ok, it was a little sour, and curry sauce, not sweet, or not salty. It was Mediocre). It's funny some dishes wasn't even in the menu, but it's in most restaurants. Since this is a café catering more to tourists, and English people. It was surprising some dishes turned out spectacularly. The service was ok, the atmosphere couldn't really tell much since we were seated near the stair, so tightly packed and when I turned my head to see my surroundings, my head knocked into the board of the stairs. Also the stair to the bathroom was really too close to the wall could hardly use it as a handle for the stairs. The bathroom stall and pretty tight any body over 254 lbs might be in trouble trying to use the toilet. It was a very tight space. The toilets paper was 3 ply. For the special day soft shell crabs $19.95, and pigeons is $25.95

UPDATE: I thought that we were at the ACTUAL WO HOP RESTAURANT. We were actually at THE WO HOP NEXT DOOR. Which is at 15 Mott st. THEY ARE DIFFERENT. Now I see why no one was hardly in the restaurant and they rushed to get us in the door and seated. SHAME ON WO HOP NEXT DOOR FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CUSTOMER WHO Don’t KNOW THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. 1/12/26 @ 5pm DISCRIMINATION ALERT‼️ So let me start off by saying that my parents use to take me here as a child to eat. This is the first time I have been back since childhood. I live in another state now, 10 hours away, but I am in NY this week visiting family and thought I would eat here to bring back good memories. The staff is very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The restaurant is very clean. I’m giving 1-stars because the food had no flavor. And I have a few other concerns. The food came out hot and fresh and looking great. But it was disappointing. Also, they are way overpriced for the quality of food you get and the lack of taste. I don’t mind paying more money if the food is good. But you’re better off to go to your local corner store Chinese restaurant for better food. Also, everything is A La carte. Lastly, it was strange that when they gave us our bill. They crossed out the TOTAL with a pen and wrote in and extra $10. That made no sense. We have no idea what the write-in fee was for. But maybe it was for the TIP??? And they did not do this to Everyone. It was like they targeted certain people, and added a tip/ fee to their bill. I think that they think that certain people will not leave tips, so they use a pen to write in the tip on the bill. We were going to tip anyway, so I kind of feel like they have DISHONEST/ DISCRIMINATORY practices. It hurts that a place that brings back so many good childhood memories is now very questionable.
