Old school Cantonese style restaurant in terms of decor and food. Food is fresh and done right at a good price. Definitely try their seafood as it is stir fried really well. Don't expect to get high end offerings there but these old school chefs know what they are doing. If you're looking for the old Chinatown experience from 30-40 years ago, this is a definite try. Also great for casual family dining at a good price.

Located in China town this is one of the best place for food lovers. The restaurant is on the basement, soon you enter you’ll be welcomed and not rushed in ordering. All sorts of crowds going there, from tourists to locals, huge menu difficult to choose what to have. Be aware portions are massive and one dish can feed two people, in our experience all dishes were tasty and flavoursome, could order more if I could finish all that food! Staff is friendly, fast and helpful. Prices are ridiculously cheap, very good value for money. A must visit when you’re hungry! Highly recommended

I would give this place six stars. When I was a kid, there was a Chinese restaurant called Shanghai Lee in my neighborhood. I thought they had the best Chinese food, ever. But eventually it closed and, since then, I've been looking for Chinese food that's as good as that place was. And Wo Hop is where I found it. I've been here a few times and each time the food is delicious. I would definitely recommend their roast pork fried rice and their chow fun. But, in all actuality, everything, I've eaten there was good. You gotta know when to go there because there will be a line 8 parties deep, at times. I've actually had to stand near their entrance and make sure that people don't cut the line. The place is a little small. They got a cool thing going on with their walls covered in money. But the food is top-notch. If you want great-tasting Chinese food, this is the place you wanna go.

Now this is good Chinese food. The atmosphere is weird at first as you walk down into this outdated basement with oddly colored tile. But the food was absolutely one of the best Chinese dishes I ever had - although I played it safe with what I knew. The noodles are absolutely incredible all cooked to order and you definitely can share 1 dish. Will come back here again.

This place is the best. It's a diner in a basement serving Chinese food, no frills. The service is great, you get good food for a reasonable price (I'd say average, not cheap, but not really expensive). I really hope this restaurant stays in business for many years, because it's a great joy just being there. It's just not the semi-threatening service experience there is so much of in Manhattan.

Absolutely the best place to stop and have a bite to eat. Go downstairs, definitely a different atmosphere. Remember a couple of rules, it's CASH ONLY, food that you order is in large portions, and there is a men's and women's restrooms at the downstairs restaurant (only for paying customers). Pay your bill at the cashier. Parking is extremely limited, there are Parking garages in the area.

If you’re looking for high-quality Chinese takeout food, this is an awesome spot. Everything was delicious and it was surprisingly not greasy like most chinese fast food. There is a wait , but the line goes fast. Don’t forget to bring cash as it’s cash only!

Worst Chinese food I have had. Looked past the steep steps down to the basement, the sweltering heat, the lack of airflow, the jacked up prices, wall damage covered by plastic and dirty scratched up plates because of the glowing reviews. Ordered chicken with broccoli and shredded beef noodles. Both meat tasted like they hadn’t been cooked through, both dishes had the exact same sauce just poured over and the rice was sticky & wet. My companions felt the same about their food, so didn’t bother finishing, paid and left. We even wondered if these reviews were fake. New Yorkers have too many Chinese food options and experience usually to get it this wrong. That being said, staff were really nice - they didn’t rush us, and the portions are big but prices are extra big too. Overall, very disappointed. Should have just kept walking on Mott street as after the experience we found many options some even at half the price tag. So much for the hype ?
