This Chinese deli/restaurant is a good spot for grab-and-go meals. While there is some bar seating in the back, it's a pretty tight squeeze and not ideal for big groups. Service is a bit slow but it's not the end of the world. I got their three meats combo with ginger scallion chicken, BBQ pork, and duck. All of the meat was so juicy and delicious. While I do think there are better spots in Chinatown, this is still pretty solid! read more

Hay Hay Roasted - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

Hay Hay is my friend's go-to Cantonese bbq spot and we were sold especially after he told us about the pipa duck and roast suckling pig. The space is pretty small and only seating available seemed like a few counter seats past the line of people waiting for their orders. It's cash only here, and prices are pretty good for the quality. I ordered 1lb charsiu, 1/2 soy sauce chicken, 1/2 pipa duck, and 1lb roast suckling pig. For the pig if you're early enough, you can choose bone in or boneless portion. The first time we got this, the charsiu was honestly kind of dry and not that great. The soy sauce chicken wasn't good at all and had a strong herbal, almost Chinese medicine taste to it. I figured I just didn't prefer it until my friend took some for his dad to try and his dad said it was off. Maybe someone went heavy handed with spices that day. Both the pig and the pipa duck were incredible, and both had crispy, delicious skin and tender meat. The pipa duck was half way to Peking, that's how crispy. Before flying home, we stopped by again for some charsiu and pig and the charsiu was much more tender and we loved it. I wouldn't call service here friendly but it's pretty good for an authentic Chinese spot lol. They're just very matter-of-fact. read more

This Chinese deli spot was recommended by our friend, who grew up in NY Chinatown. They recommended this, or Wah Fung No 1, and we chose this one as it was opened the day we were there. It was quite fun to come here on Lunar New Year Eve, where it seemed there were more ducks and porks hanging in the back, and also there were many, many to-go orders ready to go for the new year!!! Exciting. We got the 2-item combo over rice, choosing the honey pork, crispy skin pork, and selecting the half fat, half lean option. The meat is chopped up fresh in front of you. This place is cash only. The rice comes out steaming, the crispy pork was delicious. Great meat flavor and saltiness to it. The BBQ honey pork was good too, although a little too lean for my taste. Maybe next time I'll ask for full fat. The rice plate also came with cabbage, which made me feel a little better about ordering this. Being that I live in SF, I think this Hay Hay Roasted was good, but also we can get similar restaurants in SF. I would recommend it for someone who lives in an area where you don't have access to good Chinese deli food though. read more

Grab & go spot. Been on my radar for a while but line always long. One time, after lunch rush, i happen to see that its almost empty so i decided to give it a try! Worth the hype. All the 3 meat i ordered were tender, crispy, juicy. The nice kid on the front gave me a choice of fatty or mix. Small seating inside, good for solo diner but not for groups. Looks clean & art work is interesting diversion while waiting for my food to get ready! Will come back read more

My coworker asked me if I wanted to check out a place to eat in Chinatown. She follows an instagrammer that recently did a food crawl in Chinatown. One of the places on the crawl was Hay Hay Roasted. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly employee who asked us what we wanted to order. She gave us menus and explained the combinations. We both decided to get the scallion chicken, pork and duck. For the pork, we got a mix of lean and fatty. We decided to dine in which can be tricky because it's small inside. It's a bar top and barstools setup. My favorite was the pork. I would come back. It's a cash only spot--luckily my coworker had cash on hand. read more

I get why this is a staple if you're visiting Chinatown. Seeing the roast duck while walking down the street is...quite the sight. Like most other places in Chinatown, it's fast-paced, crowded, and a great deal for what you get. We got the char siu, scallion chicken, and roast duck, which are all winners. They're all flavorful, tasting exactly as expected, and filling. I get why people like this place so much. read more

Hay Hay Roasted - R103 Three Selection over White Rice / - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

For $10.25, you can get a rice bowl with cabbage, and a choice of chicken or pork ribs. It comes with scallion ginger sauce and soy sauce. My favorite is the scallion and ginger sauce that goes well with chicken. I always get the rice bowl with scallion chicken and it tastes amazing! That is the R101 item on the menu. The good thing about this place is there is there is a long table in the back of the restaurant with bar stools. The bar stool has a section where you can hang your purse so that's a plus. There is a bathroom at the end of the place. Ambience is very casual. You pay and take your order to eat at the table. The whole place is very tight and long. Sometimes it can get a bit crowded because everyone is standing next to each other waiting for their orders to be ready. read more

I could smell this place as I was walking around the corner in the best way possible. I got a rice combo with scallion chicken, char siu, and roasted duck. I was happy to see it came with a variety of sauces and a small pile of steamed napa cabbage. I think I would have enjoyed this meal more if I'd taken it home or had a place to sit down and really dig in. I found the pieces of duck to be pretty stingy as it was mostly bone but it tasted good. The chicken was juicy, but the char siu was a little dry for my liking. Overall, pretty good but I'm not inclined to go back anytime soon. read more

Hay Hay Roasted - Honey Barbecued Pork - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

CASH ONLY This is a Hong Kong-style BBQ spot. You can customize your meat cut: fatty, lean or half/half On 11/22/25, I ordered 1/2 of a Pipa Duck. It was bony, which made it difficult to enjoy. Eating around the bones was tough. I could have choked. Nevertheless, the duck was flavorful and tender on the inside and crispy on the outside--pairing nicely with the duck sauce. There are some seats with bar stools, but Hay Hay Roasted is really a take out place. They packaged my duck well in a microwaveable container, and the service was fast around 11:15 AM for an early lunch. read more

Taste test of this popular Hong Kong style BBQ spot in NYC Chinatown: Hay Hay Roasted serve roasted meat rice boxes starting at $10.25 (one topping), or you can grab a whole box of char siu for just $14. What I really liked is that you can customize your meat cut -- fatty (肥), lean (瘦), or half-and-half (半肥瘦) -- depending on your preference, just like how we do it in HK. Pro tip from a HK local: ask for ginger scallion sauce (薑蓉) to go with your rice. It makes everything taste even better! ＊Three Selection Rice Combo 三拼飯 $12.25 SO WORTH IT. The box was fully loaded with meat that you could barely even see the rice underneath! I went with char siu, scallion chicken (蔥油雞), and roasted duck (燒鴨). The chicken and duck were a bit bony, but you can always substitute them for leg if you prefer. The sweet baby napa on the side balanced out the greasiness of the meat. ＊Char Siu (Honey BBQ Pork) 蜜汁叉燒 $14/lb Decent price for the quantity! The char siu was well-marinated and flavorful even without any soy sauce. The seasoning was spot-on, not too sweet or salty. I asked for half-fatty, half-lean, and it had the perfect balance of both. I took the leftovers home and made char siu fried rice and slippery egg with char siu. ＊Crispy Skin Roasted Pork 燒肉 $14/lb It had a nice fat-to-meat ratio and crispy golden skin. It was too salty for my taste, but my friends all loved it. So I'd definitely recommend enjoying it with rice. ＊HK Style Milk Tea 港式奶茶 $5.5 - surprisingly authentic. ＊Lemon Ribena 檸檬利賓納 $5.25 - such a nostalgic drink! I haven't had it in so many years. read more

I've been here twice in five years but twice a day would be better. It's a rare opportunity to try cuttlefish and the mix-and-match combos are a great idea. Tonight I also enjoyed ribs and duck.

Hay Hay Roasted - Roasted duck, crispy pork, and char siu - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

HEY HEY, HAY HAY! if it's one thing that I must get during a long weekend in New York, it's Cantonese roasted barbecue. I saw this place on Instagram and had a bookmark and was pleasantly surprised that it was at the very beginning of Mott Street so I didn't really have to venture far down. It's a small, very narrow shop where you order at the window, with only a few seats along the wall. (Note that it is cash only.) In addition to the typical roasted and crispy pork and roasted duck, I also saw sausages, ribs, and other cuts of meat (probably ears and offal). Since this was my first time trying this establishment, I kept it simple and got the roasted honey pork and roasted duck over rice, as well as an order of char sui (honey roasted pork) over lo mein. The lo mein was out of this world. Typically lo mein that I've had does not include egg, but this version had it was the perfect addition! I love a good egg worked into a stir-fried dish with a perfect amount of wok hei and their lo mein hot all of those points. I absolutely will be returning the next time I'm in the city. read more

Don't buy into the hype. Been around Chinatown for decades and I never came here and was never told to but their recent social media push got me curious. So the only thing I can really say is, their social media and marketing efforts are top tier. The food and service, not so much. There's no ambience as it's basically just meant for takeout. There's a counter in the back that you can stand at to eat but please don't. Service is disappointingly slow. Unnecessary delays with the roast meats led to a 15 minute wait. They renovated, got some nice bags and got some influencers to post about them but there's not much here. My roast pig is about par for the course. Skin is crispy and even the leaner cut that they had left wasn't dry, but it did lack some flavor. I'll give them credit for cutting holes in the plastic box so the skin wouldn't steam and get soggy but it wasn't hot enough to need it. It also looked nothing like the curated social media post, ending up tossed around and unorganized. Cuttlefish was also about par, tender but seriously lacking in flavor. There are plenty of other places for better roast meats without the wait and the guilt of being borderline scammed by social media. Choose accordingly. read more

All things considered, probably the best siu mei spot in Chinatown. It's a tiny narrow shop that's cash only but the average quality of their meats is second-to-none, and they're super accommodating with customizing the cut you want (fatty vs. lean). Hay Hay also offers several siu mei options like pipa duck, cuttlefish, and suckling pig that most of other shops don't. The rest of their non-siu mei menu is consistently solid as well - I'm partial to the cold (liang ban) sliced pork trotters. read more

Hay Hay Roasted - roasted pork rice - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

Decent option for Cantonese style roast meats in the heart of Chinatown near the corner of Canal Street and Mott Street. I have been here for mostly takeout, therefore I will skip discussing the dining experience. The quality of the meats is generally good, but can be a bit dry at times. I do feel that their roast pork and duck also lack some flavor on my most recent visit. Having Big Wong and Ming Wong on the same block, and many others nearby, I don't find myself here very often. With that said, I wouldn't hesitate to come here for some toast meats if the other stores are busy. read more

A little shop selling roasted meats and other treats in a little downstairs shop - great roast pork with the crispy skin. The garlic chicken wings are ok, lots of garlic, but lacks additional flavor beyond that, almost missing a little sweetness and saltiness, maybe I will bring some salt/pepper next time to add. Honey lemon tea was good, they put a fresh lemon into the bag when we took out of the fridge. A/C was strong in the shop. Small counter to eat. We'll be back to try more meats. Cash only, though! read more

I finally had cash and stopped by here during lunch since Uncle Louie was closed. And I'm glad I did. Will definitely stop by here again for sure.

Hay Hay Roasted - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

Definition of a tourist trap at its finest! Incredibly insulting to get order a two meat selection over rice and get the entire duck back with just skin and no meat. 4 pieces were just the skin entirely. The other 3 were still from the back with very little meat. Is it customary to get some of the back in an order? Sure thing, of course, I'm no newbie here! But when it's all back, there's a total breach of etiquette. That's a total, "kindly leave and don't come back sir". I eat out a lot and it's rare that I feel this way. The first time I dined here, it didn't stand out and I mistakenly got fooled by all the viral messaging they put out. Decided to give it a second try and got served this debacle. Definitely never going back. I should've known better than to trust all the self promotion. read more

My boyfriend found Hay Hay Roasted for their affordable rice combos. They had a long line and a really tight standing area to wait. You will be bumped into by folks going in and out of the tiny storefront. They have a small counter area for limited seating, but it was busy and too tight so we opted to take our food togo. We had purchased other items from nearby vendors, so we only got one item here to share. We ordered the Three Selections Rice Combo ($11.25) and opted for their roasted pork, roasted duck, and char siu. The portion was huge and great value. The disappointing thing was how the skin on the roasted pork was already soft when we opened up the container pretty soon after we bought it. The charsiu was dry and had a lot of fat. The duck was the best executed among the three. If I was a local the size of this combo would have fed me for at least 2 meals. Such a good deal. Maybe not the best tasting but I'll give them points for being affordable. read more

A few friends had mentioned Hay Hay Roasted and highly recommended their roasted meats. I finally took a step to check it out in person. The shop is located on Mott Street, closer to Canal. It has a giant roasted duck on display, and you can hardly miss it. The shop itself isn't set up like a restaurant, but it has countertop space where you can dine in after placing your order. They offer a good variety of roasted meats. You can pick your meats to go with rice or noodles. I was surprised to see they were serving lai fun. I'd been craving it in NYC and hadn't found a spot in Chinatown that serves it. Lai fun is a thick rice noodle with a more solid and bouncy texture. The broth they served with the lai fun tasted similar to wonton-chicken broth. I'd totally be down to just order the broth to drink it. The meats we had were great. We got the soy sauce chicken, roasted pork (char siu), pork belly, and duck. Everything was cooked just right and not dried out. I also loved that they ask whether you want the fatty or lean portion of the roasted pork (char siu). The shop serves drinks in bags, which is super handy. You can just grab one from the fridge, pay, and go. Just a heads-up that the shop is cash only. There's a Chase right across the street and a BoA within a 3 to 5 minute walk if you need to grab some cash. If you can't make your way to Chinatown in person, they're also available on @ubereats, @doordash, and @fantuanofficial for delivery. read more

IG hyped it up well. Opted to dine in. Unfortunately the food was not up to par. The duck was tasteless. The "6hr pork broth" was extremely bland. Saw there was a mini tour that was given to tourists. Not sure why they chose this place. There are plenty of other spots in Chinatown that have better tasting ducks. Another once and done. Wouldn't suggest this place unless you have money to waste. Big Wong is a couple of doors down if you want tasty roast duck. read more

I ordered a 3 meat selection to share with a few others. We were on a self-curated chinatown food tour so this was plenty for us. Would say the crowd favorite was the BBQ honey pork (middle meat in the picture). Duck was good too but you have to be mindful of the bones (ours was more bone than meat). read more
