The Lap Cheong from here is coveted in my family that my grandparents ask me to carry it in massive amounts across the pacific and home to Hawaii! They're only open Monday through Thursday, and the man working there only speaks Cantonese, and so I've made special NY day trips and had to be coached in how to order just to get my hands on it. The staff is very kind, you can definitely use Google Translate to order, and at ~$8/lb I think it's reasonably priced. I personally don't like any lap cheong, but my family says this is the best place in the country so I guess it's pretty legit :) read more

Sausages! Sausages! Sausages! Best Chinese sausages! Pork, duck liver, and chicken sausages galore! In this cute, no frills sausage shop, my brother and I were greeted right away in Cantonese which we sadly don't understand- we're the wurst! Thankfully, they had an English chart behind us. We split an order of 5 lbs of slightly sweet Cantonese cured pork sausage (lap cheong) between us and I plowed through my half within 2 meals- it's that good! It's freezable, so I'm already plotting my next order, especially the duck liver. A real wiener! ;) NOTES/TIPS: **Steam for 20 minutes or lay it atop freshly cooked rice and cover. Slice to serve. Microwaving is fatal and dries it out- a sausage sin! **For extra zing, pair it with cane or white vinegar. It adds contrast to the richness. You can also put it in fried rice or noodle dishes. **Will add pix next time. read more

I've burrowed through most of the Chinatown hole in the walls for the perfect zongzi (a sticky rice ball packed with meats and wrapped in bamboo leaf and steamed) but before I get to that, I have to give a great shoutout to the pork sausage sold here. Bright red, juicy, both sweet and salty, the sausage ruined hot dogs for me growing up in a very homogenous suburb. I could not for the life of me understand why my classmates were so desperate to get their hands on a overly boiled, rubbery grey frank when they could have Chinese pork sausage steamed over rice. Anyway. They have great sausages here and they'll chop them up for you if asked. They also have a smoked duck version that goes great with eggs and hot sauce. But you absolutely cannot leave here without getting at least two or three zongzi. They rotate out the selection each day - I've gotten the peanut and pork, as well as the green bean and sausage. If you've never had one, you may feel a little disappointed but I urge you to keep eating and make sure to get both rice and filling in one bite. I personally prefer the meat zongzi over any of the vegetarian kind. And definitely do NOT eat the bamboo wrapper. You must take it off first. I saw a guy do this trying to impress a date and she damn near laughed her head off. read more

A must visit if you are shopping in Chinatown. Multigenerational mom and pop Chinese style charcuterie shop. Pork sausage, duck liver sausage, cured pork belly, dried duck and chicken. You slice them thin and either stir fry or steam for 5 mins. It's delicious and super affordable. 4 links on sausage and 2 links of pork belly is about $10. Not many shops like this left in Chinatown so go visit while you still can. read more

Hands down the BEST Chinese sausages I've had. My Chinese is limited but, pointing and saying how many pounds, got me a variety o sausages and lap yuk (cured pork belly). I didn't realize (based on other reviews) that they had a far wider selection. My parents and in-laws were quite impressed with my souvenir gift (I'm from Chicago). Next time, I will definitely leave room in my suitcase and maybe try some of the other offerings. Price was super reasonable (7.95/lb for the sausages) especially considering recent inflation. CASH ONLY, so be prepared. read more

Got this from the store yesterday. Not sure what it is called in English but it is one of those leaf wrapped rice. The yellow kind. It is disgusting. Maybe it is our bad luck. It's moldy and smell bad. Will not buy from here again. read more

Great place to get authentic Chinese preserved meats and sausages made from beef, pork, duck and chicken. I wish they provide samples, but you have to buy packages or lbs of their products to try. Most of their preserved meats and sausages are made in house. The staff speaks limited English, so just point and order if you don't speak Chinese. Most of their products are labeled with English, but if you have dietary restrictions or allergies, you might want to be careful. If you're making fried rice, Chinese casseroles or cooking something with meats, this place is the spot to pick up some fresh dry, preserved meats for your dish. read more

I just happened to walk by this store. Turns out Chinese sausage is one of our favorite Chinese staples. There were other dried meats such as pressed duck, Pork, and other dried sausages. It was incredible to see the variety and they appeared to all be made there. My Chinese isn't the greatest and the shop keeper's English was minimal. But he helped me decide in which pack of Chinese Sausage to buy. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Impress her with your sausages! You can even impress your mom, your mother-in-law or future In-laws with some nice fresh, big, juicy sausages. (Ok, stop snickering) With many Asian New Year celebrations just a few weeks away a visit to this sausage shop is an annual tradition with me. Pre-package or refrigerated are for other time. For Chinese New Year I come there for the standard "lop chong" curled pork and some "op chong" duck-liver sausage. This is the bacon of Chinese food, common Cantonese names are: lap cheung, lop chong, lop cheong. Chinese sausages most common variety is made with pork and pork fat, but you'll also find other varieties made with duck liver and beef. The taste of the cured meat is a sweet-salty flavor. The liver sausages are the dark ones. At $5.95 per pound it is cheap. So give the best sausage you can give! from Sun Ming Jan Chinese Sausages Shop. (Cash only) read more

Tasty lop cherng with the right amount of pork and pork fat to make the sausage delicous

Rare find, a Chinese place that still preserves pork belly, sausage, duck and chicken pieces. Can't wait to head back to NYC, will buy 15lbs of each to take home. Family and friends loved them, much better tasting compared to the pre packaged store bought. My favorites are the duck liver sausage and pork belly! . read more

This is a review for the Chinese tamale aka zongzi aka "joong" only. I came in one day because I walked by and saw the joong in the window. $1.65 for a Chinese tamale. They have two types: with peanuts, or with skinless mung bean. I had the one with peanuts, and was very satisfied. It's not the best I've had (my grandma's was the best), but it's good enough to satisfy a craving and definitely worth getting again. I know fillings are a matter of preferences, but this joong was pretty simple. Mine had a piece of Chinese sausage aka lahp cheung, peanuts, and a piece of fatty (but not too fatty) pork. I can't stand it when I eat joong, and they don't use fatty pork. Overall, a very good sized joong that was tasty and satisfying. My only complaint, and I know it's a matter of preference, is that I wish it included salted egg as one of the fillings. Oh, and the older man that helped me was extremely nice, friendly, and funny! FYI, you walk into this business and order the food you want through a screen window. When I went, I was the only customer and didn't have an issue with overcrowding like most places in Chinatown. The ordering area was large enough to accommodate a wheelchair and/or stroller. They sell all types of Chinese sausage, so yes, this place is kid friendly. Cash only. read more

We were looking for a place that sold lop chong to make no mai fan and were pleasantly surprised to find a store that sells ONLY dried Chinese sausages/pork/pork belly. Such a gem in NYC Chinatown. They have a sliding window for when you arrive and I'm pretty sure this is a CASH ONLY place unless you know exactly what you want and can point out the item. We were in a line of 60+ and over ladies/men but were oogling all the meat trying to figure out which one we wanted. No fuss and definitely CASH ONLY. All worth it because we just cooked up these Chinese sausages and they were DELICIOUS. Steam them while you're making rice and they have that perfect salty and meaty sausage that you can chop up and eat by itself or with rice and veggies. read more

Have been coming here for years. Definitely a hidden gem. I used to buy tons of their preserved meats to bring to family out of state and they all loved it. I never thought about yelping about this place bc it's so old school authentic but my family is in town and they wanted to get some so I yelped it for the name and address. I can't believe there are so few reviews. Had to put my two sense in. I may just go get me some very soon!! Nom nom nom... read more

Amazing high quality meats with a great selection! The Chinese sausages here are top notch and the zongzi are one of the best you can find in Chinatown. read more

This place pretty much has every type of Chinese sausage and cured meats you could want. When my soon-to-be-MIL comes to visit us, she pretty much buys a whole suitcase full of this stuff to bring back to grandma in Houston. Seriously. read more

CASH ONLY Wow! I'm incredibly surprised there are only 4 reviews for this place. But, I also understand how being a specialty shop, they fly under the radar. Only come here if you're looking for all different kinds of chinese sausage. But don't ask me the difference between all the different types. Because if you're like me and your Chinese sucks (speaking and reading) you'll have no idea what or how to order. Good thing the guy working understood some basic English so I was able to order. read more

One of the best places to get your preserved meats. Everything looks like they were just made and ready to be chopped up and put into a rice cooker. They got just about every type of preserved meat imaginable like chinese sausage of many flavors, chicken, duck, pork and others. They even have a variety of fish balls. Everything is sold by weight. I try to stop here whenever I can to buy a little bit of everything. The price can't be beat compared to the bigger markets like Hong Kong Supermarket or Deluxe Market. read more

I prefer buying the freshly made sausages at the store as opposed to prepacked one found in the asian supermarkets. I can order some lean and some fatty ones and just buy the quantities needed. read more

I'm not from the Far East, I am from the East Coast but I know good fresh sausages when I see them and at $5.95 / lb...wow! I have no idea what kind I brought home as my Chinese is to say the least, limited. I also now know that you can easily overcooked them in the microwave (good by first sausage) but also when you don't that they are very tasty. The man who sells the sausages is quite funny and a good salesman in spite of the language barrier. read more

Love the sleek signage with shiny letters, which is classic Cantonese/American Chinatown. The workers were very polite, and I was on my way quickly with my zongzi. The peanut version is stuffed with pork and sausage. Yum! Don't know how this place has so few reviews and hope it stays in business. read more
