Late-night Cantonese & Sichuan cuisine, chef-favorite hangout
"New Big Wong is like the reliable best friend who's always down to hang out at 11pm on a Tuesday—or 2am after you've made questionable decisions at the bar. This no-nonsense Cantonese spot stays open until 3am, making it a godsend for late-night cravings and post-drinking recovery missions. Very few things hit late night the way their roast pork lo mein does, and the double-cooked pork can make you think staying out way past your bedtime was a good idea. Those who know Big Wong as a nighttime oasis might be shocked to learn it opens at 10:30 in the morning, meaning no matter where you are in your life, it’ll always be there ready to deliver a piping hot bowl of wonton soup when you need it most." - Allison Robicelli
"This longstanding restaurant in D.C.’s Chinatown is one of the few Chinese places still operating with gusto in the neighborhood over many years; it’s also a favorite haunt for chefs due to its expansive menu and late night hours." - Missy Frederick
"New Big Wong dishes out late-night Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine every day of the week until 3 a.m. iIt’s known as a favorite hangout for chefs looking for a bite after work. If you’re a fan of offal or less common proteins like jellyfish, this place can deliver." - Missy Frederick
