Authentic Cantonese & Sichuan dishes; try kung pao chicken, Peking duck
"Open since the ’90s, Hop Woo is a family-owned Chinatown staple. Their vast menu of over 100+ dishes includes everything you need for a night at home, like Hong Kong- style BBQ (think roast duck and pork), seafood, chop suey, wonton soups, and more. They’re also offering a few specials if you pick-up in-store, like free egg rolls with orders over $18, and a pound of lobster (!!) for orders over $68. Call (213) 617-3038, or find them on most major delivery platforms." - kat hong
"When Hop Woo opened back in 1993, there were only eight tables in the entire restaurant. Since then, the Cantonese and Sichuan restaurant has obviously expanded, first into a larger space in the building, then to its current location across the street. Run by husband-and-wife duo, Lupe and Judy Liang, Hop Woo has cemented itself as a neighborhood fixture, a place where the menu is translated into Chinese, English, and Spanish. Focus on the egg foo young with thick mushroom gravy, combination wonton soup, or the spicy cold chicken in chili oil." - kat hong
"When Hop Woo opened in Chinatown back in 1993, there were only eight tables in the entire restaurant. Since then, the Cantonese restaurant has expanded—first into a larger space in its original building then to its current location across the street. Over the years, its become a neighborhood hangout spot, a place where you’ll find elder Chinese couples dining on spicy Sichuan-style fish next to tables full of raucous teens. In other words, no one’s going to notice a few loud talkers, so feel free to use your outside voices here." - kat hong
"For abundance, prosperity, and, uh, simply a ton of food, Hop Woo in Chinatown is offering two poon choy specials. The traditional Cantonese meal can be ordered with or without seafood and consists of enough braised pig feet, roast duck, black sea moss, shiitake mushroom, abalone, and tofu skin to feed six people. Order must be placed two days in advance." - kat hong
"For a taste of classic Cantonese American food, grab a booth at Hop Woo. The family owned institution specializes in barbecued meats and lobster. Order the chicken egg foo young, an omelet that comes with bean sprouts and is smothered in a thick mushroom gravy, alongside wonton soup with extra noodles."
