Tin Wong

This place is a true hidden gem! We ended up here because the line at the famous Wah Fung No. 1 Fast Food nearby was over an hour long — and honestly, we were lucky it turned out that way. Prices here are comparable to Wah Fung’s, maybe just slightly higher, but you get so much more: service, a proper seat at a table, and a more relaxed atmosphere. The food itself was amazing. We had a mix of roast meats over rice, soup, fried Chinese dumplings, and steamed rice meat crepes — all absolutely delicious. The portions were generous too. Where else in New York can you get a big plate of Cantonese roast meats with rice for just $10? It’s easily one of the best value-for-money spots I’ve found in the city. The only downside was the service. The staff were very formal and a bit rushed, even rolling their eyes when we took a moment to decide on our order, despite the restaurant not being full. Still, this was just a small negative in an otherwise fantastic experience. Overall: excellent food, great value, and a much better dining option than standing in line for hours.

This char siu rice is seriously underrated in NYC Chinatown. Tin Wong serves a gigantic portion of char siu rice for only $8.50, and they’re generous with the meat. My jaw dropped when it hit the table — the portion was huge! It was a lot even for a grown man. I had to share it with my boyfriend because there was no way I could finish it on my own. ＊Roast Pork & Chicken Thigh on Rice 蜜汁叉燒雞髀飯 $14 This time we opted for chicken thigh, so it was a bit more expensive. A regular char siu and chicken rice is only $10, and the three-topping one (三拼飯) is $14. Both the char siu and the chicken thighs were flavorful without being overly salty. The meat was tender with a good balance of fat and lean. What I appreciated most was the ginger scallion sauce (薑蓉) and cabbage on the side, plus the rice drizzled with savory soy sauce. All the little details made it so satisfying. Thay also sell char siu for $13/lb.

Ive been eating Chinese food since I was a child... I first noticed this place by the line of people waiting to get roasted duck. Then everytime I passed it was busy. Once I had the chance to grab food here I did. And wow. This place is amazing. There are many small restaurants like thus in chinatown. But this one is my favorite so far. I went to eat at 3:00 so was lucky enough to eat during the down time while all the employees also stopped to eat. I enjoyed the chance to see that the employees also ate the food there!! Will probably eat there another couple times, before I leave the best city. Great prices too

I love this place for a cheap, tasty, fast meal. White rice, steamed cabbage, and meat of your choice. I've had the ribs, char sui, duck, and chicken. The ribs and chicken are my favorite but all the meats are great. You can get one or two meats for less than $10 and three meats for like $12. They give you free hot tea. It's cozy. Not loud.

Amazing. Friendly. Flavourful. Good price! We went right before closing which was our error but they sat us anyway (so generous). But the menu was limited as they’re popular and all the best freshest dishes go quickly! But gave us extra broth for our noodle soup and it was just what we needed. Will be coming back (at an earlier time) to smash some of that duck and pork on rice! Looks delicious.

The portions are so large for the price and food is absolutely delicious! We got full by ordering three dishes for four, with only $10/person. Hot tea at the table. Roasted duck was a miracle.

🥢 Roast Duck – Hands down, the most impressive roast duck I’ve had in Chinatown. The skin is paper-thin and crispy, almost like a potato chip, without the excess grease. The meat? Juicy and tender—not dry at all. 🍖 Char Siu Ribs – Don’t just stick to char siu pork—try the ribs! Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with a rich, savory glaze. The meat near the bone is irresistibly flavorful. 🍚 Yangzhou Fried Rice – Insane value for the price. It comes piled high with plenty of toppings—char siu, shrimp, egg, ham, and peas. A true feast! 🥩 Peking-Style Pork Ribs – A crowd favorite! Each rib is huge and meaty, served steaming hot with a fruity, tangy-sweet sauce that makes it incredibly satisfying with rice. 🍤 Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll – Smooth, silky rice noodles wrapped around plump, bouncy shrimp. Simple but so comforting. 🍜 Beef Brisket & Wonton Noodle Soup – A classic Hong Kong dish done right! Tender, beefy brisket, plump wontons, delicate thin noodles, and a light, savory broth—pure comfort in a bowl. Instagram:take.a.bite.lynn Follow for more food reviews!

A youtuber reviewed this place i went to check it out order slice beef rice congee and roast pork . Ask the roast pork to be fatty cut both i took home to eat and it was good. The front staff was friendly to me and evan gave e extra bag when e saw me riding my bike.

Solid service, solid food! My friend recommended this place to me after he'd gone multiple times. His take was that this place consistently delivers - there are so many items on the menu, but everything we tried hit the spot! We got the roast duck, the eggplant, the walnut shrimp, and some flat noodles. If I were to order again, I'd probably skip the noodles, but everything else was fire. They also serve beer and accept cards!!

I was craving roasted meat noodle soup so I decided to try out this new place in Chinatown. The food came out pretty quickly and the presentation is nice. However, the taste was pretty bland. The soup tasted more like boiled water. The noodles were overdone. The meat itself wasn't bad- a little on the sweeter side though. We only ate about half of the bowl.

This place was packed with what looked like local people, and didn't seem to have much in the way of decor, so we figured the food must be the star of the show--and we weren't disappointed. My boyfriend got the spicy fried beef chow fun, which was delicious but had zero spice. Luckily, there's a jar of spicy sauce on the table. I got the noodle soup with soy chicken and thin rice noodles. That roasted chicken in the soup was the juiciest and most flavorful roast chicken I've had in my life. It was absolute perfection. The soup itself had a delicate flavor that was made more robust when I added a bit of our tasty dumpling sauce to it. Overall, it was just what we were looking for on our visit to Chinatown.

Came here for family dinner, we got to order a variety of dishes, wonton soup, soup dumpling, roast pork, half roast duck, half soy chicken, beef chow fun, chicken pan fried noodles, pork chop peking sauce, jumbo walnut shrimp, sautéed pea shoots. They are known for there fresh roast meats. Their must try is roast duck skin is crispy, and roast pork, soy chicken, other stand out was pork chop peking sauce, it was fried nice and crispy.

These days in NYC, an iced latte with oatmilk could easily cost you $8. Here at Tin Wong, you could get a meal of roast pork over rice or choose from various options under $10. Chinatown is known for great deals on food in NYC, Tin Wong offers another new destination for affordable and satisfying Cantonese food. On a recent visit, we ordered fish fillet with string beans over rice, congee with pork special, and a rice roll with shrimp and another with beef. Within about 10 minutes, our food arrived the table at once, demonstrating textbook efficiency of a Cantonese restaurant. The seasoning on the food was on point across the dishes, highlighting the simplicity of quick Cantonese dishes. The rice rolls, although not achieving the translucency of some rice roll specialty eateries in the neighborhood, still offered the expected comfort in each bite (the portion was also very generous for its sub-$5 price tag). The fish fillet was crispy on the outside without any trace of grease, contrasted nicely with the green string beans. The congee was silky and full of fillings but a bit too thick for my taste. The service was basic but prompt. The restaurant is kept still rather nice and clean since its opening months ago.

This is always my to go place if I'm not sure what I want to eat. Their fish congee for the morning is great. The congee has flavor and not too watery unlike other places I've been to. Their egg and pork congee is good too. The owner for this place has been doing this for many years. I would say in Chinatown they have the best duck and also soy and salt bake chicken around. Their cha siu is pretty good also. Wish they did roast pig. I can imagine how good it would be. I haven't had anything I didn't like here. Pretty solid place all around. The Singapore mei fun is good. I highly recommend for their duck and soy chicken over rice.

3.75/5 Not a replacement for Great Noodletown New York (featured in Ugly Delicious) but this is a less busy, cleaner, and newer alternative Food 3/5 Bitter melon beef was so close to perfection but it did not have enough of that black flavor sauce (which is what makes the dish the dish) and the bitter melon was almost soggy Whoever the chef is, you can tell they are strong enough to "Pao" the wok as the food is fried to the perfect degree and you can smell the "wok air" The fault was in ingredient preparation The fish porridge was a good size but it lacked flavor--even some ginger shreds could have salvaged it but it was just too plain. Both porridge and fish fillets were not as flavorful The viscosity of the porridge was on the more watery side Price 3/5 BIPOLAR The fish porridge was only $7, which is even cheaper than Yin Ji, which specializes in porridge The bitter melon beef, however, was $18 and it was not a smaller dish! With no white rice to follow! If you ordered the rice plate instead of the dish itself, it would have been $9 and you would have gotten more than 60% of the bitter melon beef plus free white rice. Service 4/5 Staff was not busy Staff was attentive Not sure they did a good job at explaining the pricing Cleanliness 4/5 Bathroom can use some improvement BUT the rotisserie meat section is sparkling new

New basic Cantonese eatery in the old XO Kitchen space (RIP). Unfortunately nowhere near as good as XO was. I tried the hong-shau tofu, which is supposed to come out a deep brown color and here was served with an offputting yellowish hue. The gravy had very little flavor, and the rice noodle soup was equally bland. I'll be sticking to the tried and true Big Wong (Da Wong) when I'm craving this genre of Cantonese cooking in Manhattan's Chinatown.

New location with all the great dishes and meats!! We got the roasted duck and so happy with it!!

I found this little hole in the wall. They serve food similar to big wong without the tourists. Seems like everybody here is local. I ordered chicken and duck on rice and it was very good.

This is a new restaurant that opened a few weeks ago. They had a nice crowd of locals inside for lunch. They specialize in Cantonese food. The service was prompt and attentive. The food prices here are very reasonable. The rice roll was decent but could've been a bit more flavorful. The congee was delicious and filling I really enjoyed.

Located at a busy street, business is good with people coming in and out. Servers know English and their menu is a typical Chinese restaurant in Chinatown and food came out quickly. Space is open and clean with pink walls and no decorations. We got the salted fish and chicken fried rice which is one of my go tos since childhood. It was fragrant with rice having nice chew to it. Also got a lot of rice rolls, the beef, shrimp, etc. (don't got a pic of the shrimp). You can add peanuts and peanut sauce on top which is apparently EnPing style. I personally pref it with just soy sauce, or to add more soy sauce if they top it with peanut as I feel like the peanut sauce covers the savoriness. Do recommend the shrimp rice roll.

So happy this restaurant opened! I believe they use to be on east broadway and it was sad when they closed down during the pandemic. The congee was amazing. The right consistency that's not too watery or thick. The roast duck rivals the other places in Chinatown. There are many canto restaurants in Chinatown but this is now my favorite. Their prices are a bit less expensive than the other places. HUGE plus that they take credit cards without giving you the side eye and guilt trip. This is now my new go to place - 100 percent recommend!

I picked up some take out for the next day...after having dinner in the city. Char siu is always good for a few days if it's fresh so I ordered half a pound, the guy asked me if I wanted fatty parts which I did but not too much..fat is flavor... It was a lil lean for L but after he had a second piece, he said it was pretty good. Lean but good quality, not very salty which is a plus for us. There's always sweet soy sauce if you need more flavor. Added some to a delicious ramen I made for dinner the following night.. Such great reviews for their congee so I had to order some, got fish and the mixed squid, pork, etc. It was good, not over seasoned. My mom would enjoy it.. I normally don't get fish congee but I like fish..so why not.. Lil plain but the fish was soft, there was a good amount. I added some white pepper and green onions for extra flavor. Prices are very reasonable. Also had to order beef chow fun, good flavor without being too salty. We like to add hot sauce for an extra kick. We really liked this place. Very homey, food tasted fresh. Staff was nice and spoke English since my Cantonese isn't great. Came back a second time and bought a bunch of dishes for my mom's belated birthday. She loved the congee, char siu, duck was good too.. they didn't have sea bass available so we settled for flounder. Still tasty but obviously I'd prefer sea bass. Beef chow mein is always difficult to eat at home since the fried noodles go everywhere. Beef and broccoli was slightly disappointing but expected since we mostly bought that to get a lil rice. Stick to the Cantonese dishes.

They're open at 7:30 and have delicious congee with roast pork! Absolutely loving it. The congee is creamy with a nice savory base and delightful pops of ginger and scallion. The roast pork cuts through the congee and is super flavorful. A very nice portion and definitely not skimping on the pork. For $7 at 7:30AM! With a nice pot of tea brought to you when you walk in. Can't beat it. Looking forward to trying more another time.

A seriously unassuming place. The food is good. Ordered the fish congee, two orders of the beef rice rolls, a beef and pork squid congee and a wonton noodle soup with extra vegetables. Everything with tip came out to 40 bucks with the tip included. Extremely good value and super homey food.

Affordable food, efficient service. Got a filling breakfast here. The food won't knock you off your feet, but if you want to sit down in a Chinatown restaurant and leave full and your wallet intact, try this one.

The wait is over, they've finally reopened at this new location! Used to frequent them at the old location on East Broadway when I lived in chinatown- reliable for rice boxes, and also very reliable for congee when feeling under the weather. They've bit their signature pink walls and the same tables and seats as the previous restaurant - a whiff of nostalgia if you grew up eating them. Got the roast pork and soy sauce chicken over rice. Great portion. The thing about their bbq roast pork that makes them stand out from other roasted meats places in Chinatown, is that their roast pork is leaner - even when you ask for the fatty or half-fat cut, it's significantly leaner than when you get at other places- which can translate to being a tad dry for some people and depending on what you get that day- don't say I haven't warned you if you end up having a dry experience. Their soy sauce chicken is also a lot saltier than other stores - their glaze is less sweet, more salt. And as they've always been historically, they don't sell the crispy pigs. Service is quick and good, space is clean.

Great spot for lunch in Chinatown! Fast service. Good vibes. Clean restaurant. The noodles and roast pork (cha siu) were really fresh. Highly recommend!

New store location after the original location at east broadway closed during Covid. So glad they are back in this new location! Food taste just the same as the old location

Ordered Hong Kong noodle with vegetable, vegetable spring roll and shrimp dumplings. Service was good, food was good, price was good. I would definitely recommend and come back again.

A traditional family Cantonese restaurant of which there are very few left now. Fresh BBQ Pork, Duck, Chicken and other Cantonese Rice Shoppe style meals. Friendly and helpful service.

Food and service are amazing and very friendly staff. I had the duck and pork with rice Definitely would recommend.

Excellent traditional Chinese food! Perfect balance of flavors. Large portions, generous amount of seafood on my dish. Fast and friendly service. Great stop for lunch!

I'm always on the lookout for good Cantonese food. So when I heard about a new Cantonese restaurant, I had to try it. The restaurant is new and looked very clean. The service was very nice and helpful and didn't mind that we didn't speak Chinese. We were very excited to see some classic Cantonese dishes that you don't see very often anymore. We tried the roast pork, roast chicken and egg on rice, congee with thousand year old egg and pork, and the squid with pickled vegetables. We also took home an order of spicy chow fun and eggplant with chicken and salted fish on rice. I really enjoyed the congee, the squid with pickled vegetables and the eggplant with chicken with salted fish. I would definitely try them again especially for the congee. All in all a really great experience.

Sometimes I get a craving and right now I really needed their roast pork wonton soup which came in at $11. The waitress repeatedly asked if I wanted change from my 20. Stand your ground and say yes.
