I like Hopwon for a good Chinese lunch on a work day in midtown. A simple, straight forward place. We can order online or in a machine in the store as well. While I got the simple Shrimp fried rice, I realized there are a lot more seafood choice , like salt & pepper stuff. Good food of its kind. read more

Hop Won Restaurant - Shrimp fried rice - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Very Cantonese shop - food was served quickly from When it was ordered. The shrimp eggrolls were delicious and crunchy. The shrimp paste was cooked to perfection. My meal did take a little longer because the ha gao I ordered needed to be made fresh. Absolutely worth the wait because it's one of my favorite dim sum items! I did also pick up a bowl of egg drop soup because winter and soup go hand in hand. For a quick to go option that was close to my hotel, worth the stop in. read more

I love this restaurant. Its been here for a while now. I always get the soy sauce chicken and roast pork with white rice meal. Fresh hot and always good. Fast service aswell. Can be a little cold at times but not a big deal. I have tried the chicken wings too they're great. I recommend coming here when in the area. Its worth it. read more

Are you by Midtown East, want Chinese food (and not the "Americanized" Chinese food) but don't want to go to Chinatown. Well you are in luck! There is this little gem in midtown east that does the trick. When I saw that crispy roast pork belly, duck and roast pork, I felt like I was transported to a restaurant in Chinatown! We ordered: 2 combo ( duck and crispy pork belly) 2 combo (duck and roast pork) Wonton soup (ngl the wonton skin is a bit thicker than preferred but the filling is good. BUT don't just eat the filling that would be rude lol) I'm very happy that this gem exists outside of Chinatown. There are some Americanized Chinese food on the menu. But if they continue having my duck and crispy pork belly, I'm happy read more

I was in the area and wanted some roasted meats for lunch. Did a search on Yelp and found this place. The restaurant is dark and looks a bit dingy (which is why I took my food to go). There were a handful of people getting lunch at that hour (around noon). The people that worked there were very nice. I ordered the roast pork and roast pig over rice. Came out to $14 which is more than what I'm used to paying (compared to Brooklyn). However, the meats were pretty flavorful and my craving was satisfied! read more

I work nearby and noticed they had dim sum now, so I decided to give it a try. Honestly, it's hard to find authentic dim sum in Midtown, but this place nails it. The shrimp dumplings were fresh and delicate, the BBQ pork buns were fluffy and packed with flavor, and the siu mai were spot on. Everything came out hot, the staff was friendly, and the vibe is relaxed -- perfect for a quick lunch or a weekend bite. I'm so glad I found this spot, it's my new go-to when I'm craving real dim sum without leaving Midtown! read more

I should acknowledge how well they handle every detail. Workers here provided warmth alongside thorough service. Hop Won Restaurant stands out by attending to small matters. They give plenty of food, and I had leftovers for tomorrow! Hop Won Restaurant embodies the perfect compact dining concept. read more

When you first walk in, there is a lot of yelling for the orders; chaotic and loud. The food was okay (nothing crazy to rave about but it did have some flavor); the crab stick, while simple, was pretty good though. HOWEVER, $19 for this is ridiculous when I could have gotten more for the same amount somewhere else. After eating my stomach was also upset, grumbling all afternoon (my friend who had also joined me to eat here informed me that he had to use the restroom after eating). Not worth the money. read more

I work about ten minutes away and try to grab lunch here when I can. This is one of the last places in Midtown East that serves authentic Cantonese Chinese food. I would recommend going in to see their specials including their fish filets over rice. read more

Customer service sucked. I felt like one of those Seinfeld episodes with the soup nazi "no soup for you come back two years from now" I dont give a crap if you know the customer behind me for you to serve them first before me and have a chat with them. As a customer I came to eat an Asian food but I don't think y'all gave a crap.... Customer service and attitude, attention to details needs improvement . The food was average. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and will not come back and waste $40 dollars for a crapy meal and service read more

Hop won is not a bad Chinese restaurant you just have to make the right choices. You definitely have to stay away from the chicken wings. First of all the chicken wings with a combo is really a half wing so you will get 3 half wings with the boneless ribs combo. Doesn't matter how many times you say cook it well done its always red in the middle. Crispy out of shape wings on the outside but it never fails to have some red on the inside. The General Tso chicken taste much better than it looks. I read online that that the bourbon chicken was good but it wasn't good to me - it was tasteless. My favorite dish is the Orange Beef - its really good and spicy. I also tried the boneless ribs which was average but I guess you can ask for sauce because its really dry. Egg rolls are okay - you can't screw that up. Hop Won is not a top notch Chinese Restaurant but its more on the average side. It gets pretty busy and a lot of the customers are ordering the duck but I have yet to try that. Maybe next time I will step outside of my comfort zone and order the Duck. read more

If you're looking for Cantonese pork, duck or chicken in midtown, the offerings aren't great. Meats are typically dry or overcooked, not to mention crazy expensive. Enter Hop Won. A no frills Cantonese BBQ joint that is the answer to my gastronomic cravings. Two meats over rice and cabbage for $13. I typically go with Roast Pig and Roast Duck over rice and its delicious. Don't let the far less than delightful interior deter you! It's worth it. read more

Stopped by this random Chinese takeout place near my work. Stepping in, it's one long corridor of tables and chairs and to the right is the ordering/kitchen. The combo dishes range around $12 which is decently priced for the neighborhood. I got the beef chow fun for $13 and honestly, it was pretty decent and wasn't stuck together. I won't say it's the best one I had but for a Chinese take out, it has good flavoring but I wish the beef was more sliced thin and more bean sprouts added. Based on today's visit, I would give it a high 3 stars and will visit again. UPDATE: I went back today Feb 20th and ordered chicken with broccoli combo with white rice. It came with an egg roll which was somewhat hard in some areas meaning they did not fry it completely. Also the chicken was in chunks and it goes back to what I said above earlier, they need to do a better job slicing their proteins as things should not come chunky. Based off two visits now, I will give this place 2 stars. read more

Hop Won Restaurant - Beef chow fun - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

It's your average NYC Chinese Takeout place except bigger and with plenty of seating. It looks like a very popular spot to grab lunch where you tell the counter what # you want from their Menu which is plainly displayed in front of you. Don't count on them getting your special requests done. They got mine wrong (I wanted brown rice instead of regular white). I guess can't blame them as it was the lunch rush still (it was 2pm when I was there)??? Still, for the price, anything you get here will have been cooked fresh for you and is worth it for being in Midtown Manhattan. I will definitely go to them again because the food is good and I can get it FAST. read more

Hop Won Restaurant - Roasted duck and chicken over rice. You can take out and eat it in a pocket park nearby. There are several lovely ones in the neighborhood. - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

This is one of the few, if not the only Chinatown-style Cantonese restaurant in midtown east. There's nothing fancy about this place, but it's spot on when it comes to what you'd expect to find if you walked into a random restaurant in Chinatown. Their most popular items are probably their roast meats over rice dishes. Pick from any combination of roast pork, soy sauce chicken, roast duck, or bbq pork served over rice and veggies. It's a hefty meal for less than $10. They also have plenty of other made to order Chinese dishes to choose from. Their wonton noodle soup and beef stew over rice are two of my favorites. It gets crowded by noon. So try to get there early if you're in a rush. read more

It's been a few years since I worked in the area and ate here regularly, but the portion size and quality is slipping as of today's visit. Meats are lukewarm, not as flavorful and smaller portions now. I might as well save some money and go to Chinatown where I'll get a quality meal and larger portions for a better value overall. This will do in a pinch, but I won't be happy about it. I should've given the new Poké spot next door a shot.. read more

Wow! Who would think that you can have roast pork in midtown!! My friend told me about this Chinese restaurant that makes its own roast duck, roast pork and soy sauce chicken. It looks like the Big Wong in Chinatown! The place was packed with hungry people during lunch time. I ordered the soy sauce chicken (dark meat aka thigh) over rice and my friends got the roast pork. Big portion! The meat was fresh and juicy! The photo didn't do the justice since I already ate half of the chicken before remembering to take photos for my Yelp review! Lol The restaurant accepts credit card over $10 purchase. Service was quick and people seemed to know exactly what they wanted. There are plenty of tables if you don't want to bring it back and eat at your desk. But if you do, I'm sure your coworkers will drool all over your lunch. read more

This is some of the best Chinese food I've had north of Chinatown. If you're looking for white table cloths, and a place to impress your date, this is not the place for you. It has all the ambience of a diner. however, if it's authentic Cantonese food, you're looking for, go no further. The roast duck noodle soup was perfect. They also have salt and pepper shrimp on the menu. Which I'm going to try next time I'm there. They do a lot of takeout business which might be the best option, especially in the winter, since the heat was rather low when I was there. in summary, great food, low-end atmosphere read more

Hop Won Restaurant - Roast pork and roast duck $9.75 (with tax) - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Very good chinese BBQ meats. Authentic Cantonese food. Looks a bit sketchy from the outside but totally legit.

Solid fast Chinese food. Dont be intimidated by all the yelling. It gets the job done.

Midtown is a Cantonese food desert with most restaurants serving Szechuan, Northern China cuisine, or bizarre Thai/Chinese combos. Great for a budget lunch. I ordered the bitter melon with beef w/ side of rice ($8.31). Fresh bitter melon, poor quality beef, in a black bean sauce. I also got the Young Chow Fried Rice ($9). The fried rice had onions, roasted pork, good amount of shrimp, egg, chicken, carrots, and peas. I loved that everything was piping hot and fresh off the wok. Enough food for 4 or 5 meals. The lunch line is crazy. There are three all bunched together. Fast food combo plate lunch line, order line, and then pick up line in successions from the door going into the restaurant. One of the ladies at the front taking your order also screeches your order is ready. I don't recommend anything with beef but their roast pork and chicken look really good. read more

Tried this place numerous times. Totally disgusting. Beef and broccoli beef is always old and sour tasting. Pork fried rice, there is never no pork. Just white rice with soy sauce. I could go on and on. They suck period. read more

Hop Won is Midtown Manhattan's answer to Chinatown cravings. Not the most authentic but close enough. The hanging roasted meats by the window gives them a little more credibility and gives me a little more confidence in them. Whether you are in the mood for roasted chicken, duck, and/ or pork; they got it. The menu is mostly Cantonese style like wonton noodle soup and a few other items are fast food Chinese style like chicken and broccoli over rice. Time to time I really crave for Cantonese rice noodle soups that my grandma usually makes for me when I was a kid. Although it does not taste home made here but very acceptable. Shredded pork with pickled cabbage rice noodle soup is what I always opt in for on chilly days. The amount of meat, pickled cabbage, and rice noodles are generous. The soup base is very weak but the combination of flavors of the ingredients make up for it. Roasted Duck in Rice Noodle Soup. This bowl usually comes with the yellow egg noodles that everyone knows but I am a big fan of the thinner rice noodles so I ask to substitute it. Roasted Duck has crispy skin and it adds flavor to the rice noodle soup. Yes, it's greasy but that's the point! It doesn't come with enough duck meat nor taste authentic like restaurants in Chinatown but does an alright job to satisfy. It is unfortunate that Midtown is known for mediocre food especially for lunch but Hop Won is one of the better choices. read more

They still have the best roast meats in Midtown. During a recent visit they had robust lunch business and have hopefully recovered from the pandemic closures. Unless I go during lunch, their roast pig is sold out by the evening. They are still only open during weekdays. read more

Hop Won Restaurant - Store hours M-F only. - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

This place offers a good selection of authentic Chinese food at decent prices. What makes it even more authentic? The roasted hanging meat (like you see in Chinatown). That's when I know I've picked the right place. Nothing gives me more comfort than eating the Roast Pork over Rice with a Fried Egg on top. This is what I grew up on, and I never get tired of eating it. On the printed menu, I would suggest you try the Roast Meats over rice, or any of their noodle soups (I suggest the Chef's Special Dan Dan Noodle Soup). For more authentic dishes, look for what's hand-written on the white board (Bitter Melon, anyone?) The place is pretty clean with plenty of room if you want to sit down and eat. Service is friendly (just be prepared to know what you want and order - they like to get you in & out). A personal bonus for myself - some of the order takers/cashiers speak Cantonese. They are very nice and help me out with the menu. Nicest compliment? When the woman told me that I speak very well and couldn't tell that I was an "ABC". read more

I just got a triple delight for $17. It's way overpriced, small in portion and food was not that good. I understand of inflation but if you are going to raise the price so much, at least keep the portion. read more

No longer $5 bucks to eat. its 6 now. the only good thing is that is cheap and fast. Food is ok, not the greatest but not the worse. They have two menus one for non-chinese where you order like fast food style and one in chinese only, where it seems that the best meals come from. Rice is blah, you can see it was from days before and it doe snot taste like chinese food rice. Today i had the #4, had to throw it out, taste less. I knew i had stopped going for a reason. I do love #9, but the rice is killing it. Cheap and fast, did i mentioned that before. thats the only thing it has going. If it was one more dollar , i dont think people will be going there in the masses. read more

Mediocre, is the first word that comes to mind when I think of this establishment. Upon arrival I joined the line.

Still disappointed sometimes here and there but have to never order Hot and Sour soup at 830 at night. It was horrible after normal work hours they just have some whatever.

Food- 3 Service- 4 Ordered take out here for lunch. I ordered sesame chicken. The chicken wasn't great but it wasn't awful. It definitely is not crispy like they advertise. After eating it it gives you that full gross feeling you get after eating average Chinese. I ordered fried rice with it but it was very dry and pretty much rice with some soy sauce on it. Not many veggies cut up in it. The gentleman who took my order though was extremely nice and the food was delivered quickly. read more
