East Broadway Mall

Most of the shops are closed. The public restrooms were disgusting. The one and only restaurant in the mall serves very good and authentic Chinese foods. I’d only come here for a quick bite.

Old, hot and run down place... really not much to talk about! If youre looking for Asian stuff, definitely a whole lot better places to go to

Was kinda nervous to go in bc I just wanted to look and take some pics.. but I would definitely like to come back and try the restaurant downstairs ? It's kinda cool that it's basically abandoned I think it would be nice to rejuvenate the place eventually.

I've never entered. But on the outside it's scary

Indoor mall located in Chinatown. Decent selection of shops and services. It is under the bridge. Enjou!

The East Broadway Mall has unfortunately fallen into disrepair. This mall used to be bustling with shops and activity but hasn’t been what it used to be in a while. The place is dirty and spray painted up but the community shouldn’t give up on it. There are still a few great spots inside but you almost have to go looking for them/ know where you’re going. The Fuzhou bakery/ restaurant down on the bottom level is a fantastic. There is a place for tea that’s also worth a try.

People have been raving about the fuzhounese restaurant in the basement as something that is indie and hole in the wall. While the food is decent, the atmosphere, one that is reminiscent of both a slaughterhouse and a the walking dead set really brings it down.

FULL OF RATS AND COCKROACHES!!!! WATCH NYC_KB ON TIKTOK....

It's not closed, There are many stores closed but there are some open shops and restaurant place downstairs that is open.

Alright... I see a lot of negative reviews on here. Which is not all truth. First of all it's middle of Chinatown!!! It is noisy every single day from morning to night! Second, there are really nothing to buy there buy some minor stuff. If you don't feel the need to buy them then don't. Instead of throwing in a very negative review and star get to know the place first. Third, ghetto? Idk what they are talking about? Everyone working for something. People are not cheap or low! They are just blue collar crowd. They are all hard worker. Some YELPERS on here are judgemental base on couple of thing they see and don't like about the place. Try and adapt the culture first. It's a awesome place to explore if you want to know more about them and how an Asian American life are in NYC! Lastly, I would like to talk about the food in the basement!!! HIGHLY recommended if you are a visiter or a tourist! All the small restaurant downstairs are amazing. With all the REAL TRADITIONAL foods from main land china are from. It cost less then $5 to get a full stomach out off. Love it!

I think what drives people to this place is a word we all know and love- "mall". I guess its the easiest way to describe this place, but really, it's not what I would assume most people are looking for. Yes, there are shops here- only a few. Remember this is Chinatown so you're not getting an H&M or a Gap inside of here. The shops are traditional Chinese shops which are cool to browse, but are no different than the others down the street. The inside of this place is a bit rundown. Well, very rundown. It took us no time to get through this place because most of the stores were either closed or the store fronts were vacant. The bottom floor has a Chinese restaurant which I'm sure would be the redeeming quality of this place. Everything was in Chinese. It was the end of the day. I didn't think it was worth it trying to figure out how to order when I couldn't read the menu. I could tell they sold bubble tea because there was a hand-drawn picture. Overall I would pass on going here again. It's not worth it for a tourist. For a local, maybe? But even then I'm not 100 percent sure.

East Broadway Mall is your typical Chinatown style fleamarket/mall, similar to stuff I've seen in LA, Philly (albeit very tiny here) and of course Beijing. It's not really that gross/dirty, you've got your typical shops (think knockoff clothing, phone booths, small knickknacks). Would I come here for the sake of shopping at East Broadway Mall. Heck no, I don't think I'd even buy anything here. But it might be interesting just taking a 5 minute stroll through if you want to get a little Chinatown flava in your life.

This is such a terrible mall. There is nothing worth buying inside and it is dirty and old. Nevertheless, there is a clothing alteration service in the basement that offers quick and good quality service. I came here for one purpose only and that remains the only purpose I will ever return.

All I can say is ... ew. And I thought Manhattan Mall was an atrocity. I haven't the slightest clue why, of all the places in Chinatown, I had to come here. I guess curiosity got the best of me. The stores are reminiscent of the depressing little holes in the wall you find along 6th Avenue. There is seriously nothing worth looking at, and the lower floor is a little disorienting. I didn't feel too clean coming out of this mall either.

Here's the thing about this place. The shopping, I have no interest in, but someone tell me the name of the dining area or restaurant that's downstairs behind the escalator and stairwell. Just had the most incredibly fresh, plump, juicy pork and chive dumplings ever there. 8 for $3 and I was absolutely stuffed. This is not a place tourists are ever going to find. No one there was speaking English, and my waitress had trouble understanding my order for a bottle of water. It's hidden, it's a treasure, and I'm going back. Someone on Yelp needs to identify this place as it's a real hidden gem that foodies would be interested in. I ate at Prosperity Dumpling which gets rave reviews (including mind) but this little hole in the wall in the basement of this Mall was clearly the better of the two.

Dirty, smelly, cheap, loud, low class, uhhh cant think of any more adjectives to describe this place but just advice to dont even waste your time. Its like an advertisement fir Purell hand sanitizer. Ewww!

For a place to shop theoretically, nothing really stands out about this place. It's definitely not a good place for bathroom break for most people due to the basement bathroom being quite a stink hole and you gotta pay to get in unless you work somewhere within the establishment. (also charges for toilet paper ) Only reason i go to this place voluntarily is due to the game store found on first floor which is a good place to buy games and systems in english or japanese from and some bonus goods.
