“I went to Wo Hop once and the floor was sticky, waiter had an infected exposed finger while handling our chop sticks, food wasn’t anything to rave about, shrimp tasted off and when we came out there were giant cans of bait shrimp in the garbage that the restaurant had just put out. I didn’t go back, there is better food elsewhere, I am sure.”

“Old-school lo mein, I'm going Wo Hop. It's basically junk food and that's what they do best. I like the duck lo mein there and it is anything but dry,”

“Chow Fun at Wo Hop.”

“I got beef and tomato with noodles in brown sauce, it was exactly what I expected, and I'd get it again, no matter how touristy the place is.”
H2
“The sauce only tasted like brown sauce, not the usual sweet and spicy General Tso's sauce.”
H2
“I’ve had the authentic dishes upstairs with a friend from Hong Kong and they are better but there is way better food to be had in Chinatown, both authentic and American style.”

“* Chinese table service: Wo Hop or Uncle Lou's”
H2
“Non Asians would hype it up as the "BEST CHINESE FOOD" but it's definitely not the best Chinese food. It's my go to spot if I'm with a group that specifically wants American Chinese food in Manhattan Chinatown or if I was drunk at 4am in the morning”
H2
“Came here to say *exactly* this. The duck lo mein is excellent.”
H2
“Now that they close early, it's 100% not worth the trip. You can get better authentic Chinese food elsewhere and I don't feel like their American Chinese food is significantly much better than your local corner Chinese takeout spot.”

“Wo Hop is not the best but it has a very special place in NY history, maybe because it is downstairs and open so late?”

“They are both great examples of Chinese *American* food (as opposed to authentic Chinese) and you should try them for yourself.”
H2
“but it’s tasty, I used to go with my mom a lot, and the prices and portions are a great value.”
H2
“I mean its gonna have to be Wo Hop or Hop Kee i second guy above. Come super hungry and be prepared for the dishes to come out fast. Order anything classic and dirty you wont be disappointed.”
