A restaurant · Chinatown · on two of my lists

Wo Hop.

Worth it, says Antonina. Generous portions, fair prices and efficient service, there’s a reason Wo Hop’s iconic red booths and flickering fluorescent lights have been the backdrop for many late night meals.

The menu is a roll-call of everyone’s favorites, chop suey, lo mein, and orange chicken. Don’t expect fancy plating or amuse-bouche; the appeal of this subterranean Chinatown establishment lies in unpretentious hearty fare.

Generous portions, fair prices and efficient service, there’s a reason Wo Hop’s iconic red booths and flickering fluorescent lights have been the backdrop for many late night meals.

    The walls are adorned with family photographs and exude a cozy and historic ambiance. For decades, Wo Hop served as a safe haven for late-night wanderers (open 24/7), but after COVID the restaurant closes at 10pm. Renowned for friendly service and comforting traditional food steeped in flavors, Wo Hop is one of the best restaurants in Chinatown for Chinese-American classics.
