Worth it, says Antonina. The rest of the menu is a laundry list of Malaysian and Thai street food, with tantalizing classics like Hainanese chicken rice, laksa, and char kway teow.

It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Worth it
  • Address11 Mott St, New York, NY 10013
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Wok Wok shines with its expertise in Southeast Asian flavors, particularly its mastery of Malaysian cuisine. The restaurant’s most celebrated dish, roti canai, is a light and flaky flatbread served with a rich, spicy curry dip. It perfectly encapsulates Southeast Asia’s vibrant and diverse flavors.

The rest of the menu is a laundry list of Malaysian and Thai street food, with tantalizing classics like Hainanese chicken rice, laksa, and char kway teow. The small Chinatown restaurant also offers an array of imported beer, Asian-inspired cocktails, and (my favorite) Thai iced tea.
