"Mr. Fong’s tends to be filled with white-overall-wearing people who look like they don’t have normal jobs. That said, the place has surprisingly inclusive vibes, friendly staff, and great music. The Chinese-inspired cocktails – like the salty plum old fashioned – will only set you back $9, which is basically like stealing these days. Our favorite time to hit Mr. Fong’s is early in the evening (be warned, it gets crowded later on)." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"Mr. Fong’s tends to be filled with overall-wearing people who look like they don’t have normal jobs. That said, the place has surprisingly inclusive vibes, friendly staff, and great music. A few of the cocktails—like the salty plum old fashioned—will only set you back $14, which is about as good as cocktail prices get these days. Our favorite time to hit Mr. Fong’s is early in the evening, but it gets more fun (and crowded) later in the night." - Bryan Kim, Hannah Albertine
"Another Lower East Side spot, Mr. Fong’s is on a quiet block near the Manhattan bridge, and it’s a cool, relatively normal bar that tends to stay the perfect amount of busy. The space isn’t huge, so it can be tough to find a table, but you can always just stand near the bar and mingle with people who shoot OOTD videos." - team infatuation
"Known for sceney nightlife hits, Mr. Fong’s is one of Aisa Shelley's earlier hospitality projects before opening Casino." - Emma Orlow
"Even when it’s packed, this Chinatown bar feels civil. The crowd skews fashion-y, but wear whatever you want. Let your friend people watch ’til their eyes fall out, while you kick it by some shrubbery with a Tsingtao. Keep dinner on theme, and get dumplings at Lam Zhou after." - bryan kim
