Cha Chan Tang.

Worth it, says Antonina. Cha Chan Tang is a great spot to experience the unique fusion of flavors in Hong Kong’s food scene or grab a classic American meal in a fun and vibrant setting.

Worth it
  • Address45 Mott St, New York, NY
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Found on historic Mott Street, Cha Chan Tang is a Hong Kong-style diner that mixes traditional Chinese and American fare. It’s one of the best restaurants in Chinatown NYC for quick and inexpensive meals. Their menu is great for various tastebuds, offering savory stir-fried noodles and rice dishes alongside familiar favorites like burgers and fries.

Cha Chan Tang is a great spot to experience the unique fusion of flavors in Hong Kong’s food scene or grab a classic American meal in a fun and vibrant setting. Also, Hong Kong milk tea (a blend of black tea and condensed milk, served hot or cold) is a staple drink that’s too good to pass up!
