Amy BDecember 20, 2014Keep your party small. Way easier to get in. Try not to order everything. Delicious!
Lindsey FrancesSeptember 26, 2017Classic Americanized greasy spoon full of delicious late night grub, It's a place full of characters.
Paige CAugust 12, 2014My family has been coming here forever. It's a NYC staple. The best Chinese food around!
Mariana ColumnaDecember 30, 2010Best Chinese Food in the city!!! Everything was delish!!!! Long line, long wait, tiny location, cash only but it's all worth it! Eat downstairs! One word amazing!!!
This is the real Wo Hop for Chinese People. All the Gwai Lo go to the one downstairs but Chinese will eat at this one.
Alex LivadasJanuary 6, 2023Wo Hop is an iconic Chinatown institution that’s been there for years and hasn’t changed a bit. Worth a visit but be prepared to wait.
Christopher CarterAugust 25, 2014Been coming since I was little whenever I am around Mott street I always pop in and get some food.
EddieAugust 20, 2016It was a hole before renovations and it's still a hole after. But the food is great and even better after-hours...
Ross SheingoldDecember 16, 2013Ask for your General Tso's chicken extra spicy. Their peppers are LEGIT!
Natalie FreilichApril 15, 2016As a kid I always ordered Shredded Szechuan Beef in my hometown...I couldn't find it done right elsewhere until I ordered it here.
Jorge LuisAugust 10, 2018Everything but don’t mind the indirect service it’s actually funny to experience.
Francesca KrihelyAugust 30, 2011This place is crazy. Linoleum walls. Stickers everywhere. Come in at 4 am after dancing all night and you WILL be surrounded by Jerseylicious. Great story for the kids.
Nikki HodgdonApril 9, 2010Amaaaazzzzing!!! Be prepared for a stomache because you WILL overeat. The food is amazing and they give you so much. Get the pan fried noodles!!! Open 24 hours. It's love.
Ashley KemperSeptember 19, 2015$10 will buy you the biggest plate of amazing Chinese food you've ever seen.
This place is a culinary landmark in all of Chinatown. If you have only eat Chinese food once in NYC, this is where to do it. Make sure you go DOWNSTAIRS. The upstairs one is not the real Wo Hop.
That's right go down the fuckin stairs moron! Who goes upstairs? I'll tell you: Assholes! Closed on Chinese New Year for a few weeks & occasionally around 5am to clean up. Go with friends, share food
Go here while plastered after a night out with a group of friends. Its a fun experience.
paisleyMarch 18, 2011Eggplant with garlic sauce, shrimp egg foo young are my faves. Fried dumplings don't disappoint. They have brown rice too :)
Richard RichJuly 4, 2013This place is an original from the Chinese building the intercontinental Railroad days. A must for the bucket list.
Head downstairs. Order crispy noodles and spare ribs. Be sure to eat some chow fun. Buy the most awesome tshirt to ever touch your back for 6 bucks.
Stephanie S.February 22, 2012Salt and pepper porkchops, salt and pepper squid! Fast service. Perfect after a late night of partying.
Honey Cicken, Pork Fried Rice, BBQ Ribs, Snow Peas with beef or chicken. I haven't even gotten into the Soft noodle dishes. Everything pretty much Rocks.
Sid VarmaNovember 29, 2010Pork fried rice. Pretty good. General Tso. Not traditionally sweet. I wouldn't get it again. Duck Lo Mein was very good, as was shrimp with garlic sauce.
Cristiana CannizzaroApril 15, 2013You must eat downstairs! There is always a super long line, but it is worth the wait.
Ed SteinbergApril 17, 2013Love the all night place but just finished a duck 'flavored' chow me fin. Not bad but could have used some duck meat- Guest of a GuestJanuary 23, 2012You can't get a better deal in town than a bowl of their delicious wonton soup for less than $3.00. AND it's open 24 hours!

Again make sure you go DOWNSTAIRS.....beef chow fon is awesome....as are the fried wontons and if you like spice ask for some hot oil- The fried dumplings are the best in the city, period! The Chicken Chow Fon is pretty amazing, too.
Priscilla SohanMarch 4, 2013Their crispy noodles with duck sauce are so addictive they should be reclassified as a Class A drug.
Allen YangAugust 7, 2014Fairly dingy inside, but solid Cantonese food. Better than Hop Lee or Hop Kee nearby.
Roast duck lo mein or cold sesame noodles either way 5 a.m. AWESOMENESS!!!
Son NguyenApril 21, 2013Good food..affordable prices..enjoyed it and late night dinning at 6am can't complain
Christina SongFebruary 9, 2014Upstairs, downstairs, same food. Only difference is that downstairs is full if annoying hipsters.
In the depths of Chinatown is the greatest restaurant in the city: Wo Hop. Go there, order the Roast Pork Chow Fon. Remember: DOWNSTAIRS WO HOP! Don't be fooled by the imitator!
Honey crispy chicken is great. I've been here over 100 times and have eaten it every time
Matthew TaheriNovember 21, 2010upstairs and downstairs arew the exact same. share a common stairway and bathroom area. same owner. kitchens seperate with cooks that alternate
