"In Manhattan’s Chinatown, New Golden Fung Wong Bakery will also close this month. The bakery known for its mooncakes and more opened on Mott Street in 1961." - Luke Fortney
"Golden Fung Wong is the rare shop that bakes mooncakes year-round — and in more than 10 flavors including winter melon, sesame, and black bean. Its other specialty is the skill-intensive hopia, or wife cake: round flaky pastries filled with candied winter melon paste." - Caroline Shin
"A throwback to old Chinatown, with moon cakes of every kind. 41 Mott St." - Grace Young
"One of the oldest bakeries in Chinatown, worth sampling its specialty, hopia." - Robert Sietsema
"Opened in 1961, New Golden Fung Wong Bakery served the Cantonese and Toisanese community with specialties like tikoy, mooncakes, kong soh peng, and hopia. Despite being a beloved destination for many, it will be closing on July 31, 2023, with reasons for the closure remaining unclear." - Chris Crowley
