I've been wanting to see the wares since I saw the video about it on social media. I got some dessert and soup spoons as it's hard to find hand painted ceramic chinese spoons. They have little bumps, which is different from the usual smoothness I expected. The mom and dad of the owner was manning the shop when I visited. read more

I purchased dragon bowls from Wing On Wo, the oldest store in NY's Chinatown. They came safely wrapped. No chips or broken pieces. The bowls are beautiful. They are made from a factory in Jingdezhen, which was famous for its porcelain dating back to the imperial China days. Support a local business during this difficult time. Browse their website and pick up something for yourself! read more

I recommend if you're looking for real unique Chinese items to visit this place. It is totally different from any store in Chinatown. It's a throwback to family-owned authentic gift shops with uniquely Chinese and not mass produced items. Have I said how much I like this gift shop? It's in a category all its own, with one-of-a-kind pieces both old and new. Everyone behind the counter is always super friendly and wanting to talk about the pieces, about their history and the neighborhood's. Whenever I'm here there's always something lovely that catches my eye. In the past i got adorable little Buddha's, lovely sake cups, and gorgeous plates with painted designs. This place is just a real gem. read more

The oldest store in Chinatown is Wing On Wo & Co which is located in New York City. My second trip to New York I wanted to come here and check out this place. It sells Chinese pottery for your home such as plates, bowls, tea cups, tea pots and even other things but mainly for the house to become a home. Garry is one of the most friendliest people we have met in NYC and we literally felt a positive experience just by walking in here and looking at history. The store is amazingly pretty with different styles and looks. We decided to get some dragon plates as a new beginning. After coming back from China and been moving around so much we wanted to decorate our house with the traditional Asian style plates. So we checked this spot out. Prices were super reasonable and honestly felt like I was getting something that I want to last with me for forever. Come visit and check this spot out you might never know what you will find and what could fit into your lifestyle. Take a piece of history with you! read more

This little family shop has so much rich history and feels cozy. The entire family (husband, wife, and grandma) are on the shop floor and eager to speak to guests. It reminds me of my own family and my mom's shop. The family is super helpful in helping you find a gift that's right for you and they're very knowledgeable about their store's inventory. The selection of earrings is quite extraordinary -- there are beautiful ceramic and porcelain earrings with all types of traditional East Asian designs. I bought three because I couldn't decide which ones I wanted. I also bought a much needed soup spoon. Everything is reasonable priced and of good quality. The storekeeper even realized that she messed up on ringing me up and refunded me in cash. They are the sweetest and I will be going back to talk to them again! read more

Going inside the shop was a wonderful and warming experience. You've got to see it for yourself. The man who helps operate the shop is so kind. He let me bring my herbal tea inside! Haha. There isn't really space to put down drinks so heads up. Best if you finish your drink before visiting! I hope to visit again soon and stay longer. Thank you! read more

Anyone who's ever been on one of my (in)famous walking tours knows that my favorite shop in all of NYC is Wing On Wo & Co. I stumbled across it six years ago and stepping inside instantly brought me back to my childhood, evoking vivid memories of my grandmother and her love of all things Chinese -- from lacquered furniture, to Ming trees, to tiny porcelain figurines of Confucius and Sun Tzu. In the years since, I've gotten familiar one of the wonderful owners, Gary, and I've bought everything from the painted lanterns that hang in our living room to the tiny lucky cat figurine I keep in my bag. I've seen the area gentrify even as Wing On Wo's storefront and beautiful window displays have remained relatively unchanged for more than a century, like a magical porthole that transports you back in time and memory. It is a place that is singular in all of New York. If it ever goes, it'll take a significant chunk of my heart with it. read more

Wing On Wo & Co - Lanterns from Wing On Wo. - Antiques Near Me - New York, New York

This store is much more than a simple porcelain shop. It's the oldest running shop in Manhattan Chinatown and the family who is running it is absolutely the most warm and loving people there. They carry a fantastic selection of porcelain goods along with fun little trinkets, teas, decor pieces, and much more. Every time Im in the neighborhood I make it a thing to stop by to see what is new, catch up with the family, and to just take it all in. I've gotten a huge variety of gifts from traditional hard to find pieces to contemporary designs from asian designers. There is a lot of love in this place. They also carry a selection of their pieces on their website too! These are the places that make Manhattan Chinatown special. It's the love and community. read more

Tourist Trap and Not a Non-Profit My experience with Wing on Wo started with an in-kind donation (pre-COVID) to this "non-profit" on behalf of my best friend's birthday. I visited this shop and non-profit to see what this is about. Typical ABC discrimination I bought a few ornate plates, because I truly did like them. As I was next in line for the register. The middle-aged woman (presumably the mom) glanced at me and told the white woman next to me go IN FRONT OF me. Very surprised for a business that prides itself on its website for their Chinese-American political activism. It is exactly like an American-Born Chinese (ABC) going to a Chinese eatery gets served AFTER white tourists who just came in. The middle-aged man (likely the dad) at the next register rang me up and apologized for her wife's behavior. His wife did not apologize and defending her choice. Souvenir Shop, Not an Antique Store Only a few select items are antiques. I later noticed the plates I got were sold at a nearby Chinese supermarket and tiny ceramicware shop owned by a local pau pau and gong gong (Cantonese for grandma and grandpa). Obviously, the store thrives because of its decent on social media and mislabelling itself as a non-profit. I want Chinese-American family-owned businesses to survive in this volatile economy, but this experience failed my expectations. read more

As gentrification continues to push out tradition in Chinatown, Wing on Wo & Co remains one of the hidden treasures in the neighborhood. W.O.W. is a long-running, family-own business that has been able to withstand the many of the economic peaks and troughs over the years that hit Chinatown, including 9/11, which has led to a lot of family businesses closing their doors. Having the distinction of being the oldest store in Chinatown dating back to the 1920's, W.O.W. surely qualifies as a destination for visit whether you are a resident of the neighborhood or a visitor from out-of-town. W.O.W has an amazing collection of porcelain antiques that would appeal to anyone who loves and collects heirlooms or period pieces. From the beautifully crafted china to the feng-shui figurines, the selection is exhaustive. The staff is extremely friendly and fluent-English speakers. They are always very helpful in helping visitors pick out a souvenir or a period piece that is perfect for their homes. W.O.W is a cultural mainstay in the Chinatown community, and let's hope it stays that way for many years to come! read more

Wonderful shop in Chinatown on Mott Street. I've been coming here for years. My mom loves porcelain items from Asia, so this is one of her fave spots. They offer goods from both China and Japan. They have so many varieties of individual bowls and serving ware. They also have beautiful vases and planters for indoor or outdoor plants. I bought a vase for my aunt last year and she loves it. Lamp bases and other figurines too. A good spot to visit for gifts. I'd like to point out that the owner is so nice too. Always helpful and welcoming. read more

This place smells and they are so rude. Will never go back. One star is one star too many.

I learn of this place from a YouTube video on the family's history. Walked in today and such a treat! Saw many of the patterns I grew up with that brought back nostalgia. Also, there are also new modern handcrafted patterns that can blend into the modern aesthetics. You can really tell the quality of these porcelain items. I brought the cutest tiny tea pot set that were hand painted from China. Spoke to the dad of the store. He is so wonderful and super friendly. It's a really nice family store like you are visiting relatives. Must go in NYC chinatown. read more

Really great place to come and get some very authentic and old school Chinese porcelain. I got one for my buddy as a house warming and he was incredibly impressed by it.

They also make a slew of things so just ask and they'll probably point you in the right direction! read more

Another spot dedicated to preserving the original culture of Manhattan Chinatown. This spaces doubles as an antique shop and community space for Chinese people to showcase their artwork and preserve their cultures. I've been here as a customer and event attendee. Events are geared toward discussing gentrification and cultural relics of Chinese immigrants. The shop has done a lot to preserve space and create new cultural avenues. The antiques consist often of tea sets which are fairly priced. These aren't your dollar store tea sets, and they tell a story. WOW also boasts community fellowships which enable local artists to expand on their artwork and host events in the space to talk about art, culture, and social issues affecting the Chinatown community like gentrification. A good friend of mine runs a magazine on LA Chinatown, and her issues can be picked up for free here (check out Wapow!) Subsequently I imagine you can grab other creative works here too. read more

I'm in love with this cute porcelain store and how Mei has transformed her family's living legacy into a hub for Chinatown advocacy.

They also work with artisans to sell one of a kind products, I want them all! So cute. read more

Cute little shop in Chinatown. It is the oldest store in Chinatown. They have lots of classy Chinese utensils, vases, art, and figurines. The owners of the place were very nice and helped us. Unlike in China, there is no haggling of prices. The owner will joke with you, "there is reason we are the oldest store in Chinatown." Fun time and definitely worth a look. read more

There are some very good things in this store. The quality is quite good. They have many different art: statues, paintings and furniture. I was looking for the right buddha and they did not have it. But they are so helpful. Discussed with me what I was looking for and gave me some pointers where to look. That's nice! I think this place is a Rare Rare Gem. read more

I bought 4 dragon bowls from them after seeing their cute instagram profile, but one chipped within a week and 6 months later, all of them are so chipped they are almost unusable. I hand wash them all and we are two people who use them gently. I feel like I was tricked into believing I was supporting a small business with great products, but I instead bought low quality items at an increased price. read more

I definitely recommend stopping by this shop for the "real" Chinatown. It's not just a tourist stop which is great.

Lovely store staffed by its kind and knowledgeable owner. Stopped because I was intrigued by this shop's website. The store is nicely laid out with a combination of beautiful teapots, china plates and bowls, as well as many other authentic Chinese home goods. The owner was very nice. I will look forward to returning. read more

Such a hidden gem! Highly recommend you check it out if you're in the neighborhood.

My favorite store in Chinatown. I discovered it in the 70's when I was living in Chinatown, trying to learn to cook like the locals, and needed bowls and chopsticks. I still have some of that lovely porcelain, and still stop by for a new bowl or cup. What a lovely store. They sell big serving pieces and vases as well as tiny pieces. Bought some little blue and white rice bowls for my grandson...he likes his food "not to be touching each other" and serving everything in its own bowl is perfect! Also all kinds of plain and fancy chopsticks. Porcelain lions. Some inexpensive necklaces and charms. The store has been there since 1925! Super nice owners. A must. read more

Barely speak Chinese but fluent in English. Lots of cool stuff but have a smell. Decent price but cash only. However there are a couple different banks around within a couple blocks. From cultural items to cute cartoon character figures to decorations in general. read more

Wonderful staff who care, are warm and willing to share the store's history with customers.

I heard about this place on a video I found on Facebook. I had to get a present for a friends wedding so I went in. Beautiful selection of dishwater you really won't find many other places. Then when we checked out the man who helped us was very nice and very friendly. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. It was nice to visit a family own business that had been around for 90+ years in the middle of Manhattan. read more

Great family-owned antique spot in Chinatown. It's mostly ceramics (dishes, figurines, teacups). Everything is beautiful and fairly priced. The owner was also very welcoming and let me know the history of the spot and the many different roles his family plays in operating the business. Really lovely experience! Visit if you're in the area. read more

Wonderful store with lots of history. One of the first shops in Chinatown founded in the late 1800's. 5 generations later, it is still family owned. They are very nice people. Beautiful porcelain and a nice selection of tea's and collectibles. I highly suggest paying a visit to this tranquil little shop. read more

I love this store so much. They have so many great little items and the man who owns it/works there is one of the friendliest I've ever met.

This store is the hidden gem of Chinatown! The oldest store in the neighborhood, you can find old-school Chinatown things like porcelain pottery and chopsticks, but they also have a bunch of new things like handmade silkscreen tote bags and t-shirts! This is a unique, fourth-generation owned shop that is well worth the visit. I've lived in NYC all my life but just discovered it today - I can't wait to bring out-of-towners here for the real NYC experience! Also, great to check it out after dim sum at Golden Unicorn a couple of blocks away! read more

High quality traditional and unique new items too. Love that it is multi-generational endeavor and the owners are progressive and engaging. I will make this a destination each time I come to NYC. read more
