Wu's Wonton King.

Worth it, says Antonina. Although Wu’s is far from one of those places you only hear about from locals, the restaurant has manageable wait times compared to other popular restaurants in Chinatown.

Where Wu's Wonton King appears on New York Dearest

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
  • Address165 E Broadway, New York, NY 10002
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Wu’s Wonton King is renowned for wontons served in steaming bowls of hot soup and flavorful noodle dishes. From classic dishes like Kung Pao and General Tso’s chicken to crowd-pleasers like chow mein, this place is an easy win for those that love bold flavors.

The restaurant offers a casual, relaxed vibe, perfect for a comfortable and satisfying Chinatown meal (and bring your own booze!). Whole chickens and ducks hang off a meat hook, and tanks ensure the live crabs and other seafood are always fresh. Although Wu’s is far from one of those places you only hear about from locals, the restaurant has manageable wait times compared to other popular restaurants in Chinatown.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
