Authentic Chinese food, in an authentic hole in the wall place. We dropped by since we just needed to use a restroom nearby. I'll start with this place is not a sit down place, but food looked good to go. We decided to eat a light lunch here of congee and gai lan. Congee was very flavorful, but gai lan was just ok. Highly suggest just getting food togo here. A lot of customers came in for to-go orders and their bbq seems pretty popular. As for the restroom, it was dirty and did not have any toilet paper. read more

This is our 4th time back to Xing Wong and the food and service continued to be excellent. We invited all 6 of our children and their spouses for a sit down lunch for a total of 10 dishes from beef and shrimp steamed rice rolls, roast duck, fish with bitter melons, chow fun, fried rice, general Zhao's chicken, Peking Pork Chop, Fried Calamari, and stir fried peapod shoots. My son the calamari expert proclaimed this was in the top 5 of his favorite restaurants. The General Zhao's chicken was a bit sweet for my taste and we would've preferred dark instead of white meat. This was not a big negative as the services was prompted, courteous and warm. This meal left us with a positive experience and we'll back for more. read more

Menu is quite extensive, portions are big, and the barbeque meats, especially the duck and roast pig, are just delicious. Prices are great, better than most Chinatown restaurants. We go early on Saturdays around 9:30 am where there is only 1 waiter. You may have to ask for bowls and plates as he sometimes forgets. Lol. This restaurant is our GO TO restaurant in Chinatown, consistent, excellent food every time we visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

It has been a while since i last visited this restaurant. I figured i give them a chance since i was looking for some roast pork and cuddle fish to rake to the family in NJ. Before walking in, I noticed the front window had a lot of flyers but none of them were the NYC sanitation grade as all restaurants should display for the public. Perhaps not all people buying food from this place care about how the staff is preparing their food. While i get the city of NY may not be rigorously sending out inspectors, this place does not display their grade at all. Their lack of honesty and integrity has me not returning here and instead i will give my business to Kings Kitchen across the street. https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/rii/restaurant-grading-faq.pdf read more

Decent Cantonese cuisine with the focus on the bbq meats. One of the cheapest places in Chinatown that you can still get a lunch order for $8.00. Better for take out but they do have tables. read more

The restaurant itself is very dated and retro looking. However, its humble exterior hides a delicious secret. It has one of the best wonton soups ($9) available. The soup itself tasted like it was made with real chicken and none of the chicken bullion flavor. The wontons itself was light and bouncy with a nice mix of pork and shrimp. The roast pork on rice ($7) is decent and has an ample amount of rice. read more

My friend took me here after a failed attempt to grab food from Wah Fung, which is closed Mondays, apparently. Located deep in Chinatown (aka, a brisk walk from the metro station), Xing Wong has some great prices for some good Chinese food. We were in a rush so we were ordering our food to go. I decided to get some crispy skin pork, because if a Chinese BBQ has bad pork, are they even a Chinese BBQ? I had to take it to go and didn't get to eat it until a couple hours later - so hopefully it would stand the test of to-go hell. Cash only, $5 for meat, rice and veggies. And soup! A couple hours later, I popped open the lid and found the crispy skin a little... uncrispy. But that's also not fair to Xing Wong since I did let it steam in the container for a couple hours. The flavor of the pork was good and I scarfed it down at the airport. I definitely would love to be back to try some other dishes. But for take out, I would definitely recommend one of their Chinese BBQ meats with rice for $5! read more

Xing Wong BBQ - Crispy Skin Pork - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

The menu is very expansive and it could just be my experience with the food we got, but I wasn't thrilled with my experience here Everything is very reasonably priced and the wait staff is very nice. The set up for the big tables is perfect, especially the lazy Susan in the center so it's easy to reach all the dishes I really enjoyed the tea, it was a highlight I wasn't as thrilled with the entrees we got. The black pepper beef was literally peppercorns, I kept biting into large balls of pepper and the duck was just too grisly for my tastes. At one point, we ordered two additional entrees and they brought out two entirely different dishes Looking at the mixed reviews, there's definitely other dishes we didn't get that people have raved about. I'm just personally gonna be avoiding the restaurant read more

A good no frills Cantonese style restaurant on East Broadway. They're roasted meats such as roasted duck, roast pig, roast pork are or one of the better ones in Chinatown.Soup noodles and rice dishes are also very good. High turnover so the ingredients are fresh and affordable; a good standby. read more

This was a nice hidden gem I found next to my hotel in Chinatown. This place has all different types of meats, from duck to beef to pork. They even have squid and a ton of seafood dishes. If you look at their take out menu there is over 100 items to choose from. I came in for a quick snack. So I decided to order the rice bowl with beef and Chinese broccoli. The man at the register barely spoke any english, but that was okay I just pointed to what I wanted and he got it. Order was ready under 10 minutes. For a rice bowl with beef and Chinese broccoli plus a can of Sunkist it was only 6 bucks!! Take that Panda Express. I like this place because it was authentic, no nonsense, and the food was good. read more

The roast duck here is super flavorful, unlike some other places where the flavor is only in the skin. $5 for the roast duck over rice and $9 for the half duck. Just getting the duck itself may be the best deal since the rice and cabbage weren't anything special. The Singapore chow mei fun was great, too! Plenty of curry flavor and loaded with bean sprouts, scallions, bell pepper, ham, roast pork, and shrimp. Definitely one of the better Singapore chow mei funs I've had here! $9 buys you a full plate good for two meals. read more

Decent Cantonese food at a good price; $7 for most rice entrees. This outdated looking restaurant is located right by the Manhattan Bridge. If you're familiar, it's no different then Noodle-town or Big Wong. They're currently only take-out. They have a big ugly sheet of clear plastic in front of the cashier, making the restaurant more unattractive. But if you can look pass that, pick out something from their extensive menu, & it should satisfy the tummy. read more

Three stars all the way. Our party of five ended up here after being shut out of Wu's Wonton King. Located on a rather desolate stretch of Chinatown, and mostly empty except for a large table of raucous Asians eating snails, and a very drunk couple in the corner who kept dropping their silverware, my expectations were low - I was simply hoping not to get food poisoning. Service was fine. Food was just okay. The duck was served mostly room temperature, despite being whisked back to the kitchen, probably for a too brief spell under the salamander. Roast pork was tasty. Both noodle dishes - crispy with pork, pan fried with beef - were good enough. Dumplings were weird and tasted like bleach. The vegetables were fresh. At least we didn't pay a lot to be underwhelmed. And I didn't get sick, either, so that's good. read more

Honestly I have been following these guys around for years. They used to run Big Wong, then Hsin Wong, then Yee Li, and I'm pretty sure they run this place now. The snow pea leaves in garlic are on point, and of course the char siew (roast pork) and roast duck. So happy to see them still operating after such a long year for restaurants. Always get the haw fun (wide rice noodles) and their beef chow fun remains a solid option. Craving it all now ... sigh read more

Went here for a late brunch with family. All of the tables were full at 1:30pm. Good basic Cantonese food. Roasted pork was delicious, the skin was very crispy. Great for take out. Whole Soy sauce chicken: perfectly cooked. The texture was very smooth. Sautéed choy with garlic was basic, same as other restaurants. Wet beef chow fun noodles and curry chow fun noodles were good. The fried fish with vegetables was the winner this meal. It was perfectly fried but wasn't oily. The whole fish was precut and topped with choy and spring onions. Servers were very nice and made sure our teapots were full. We were served oranges for dessert. Bill was $95 for 11ppl. This was a bargain especially for the amount of food that was ordered. read more

I thought this place was ok. I came for congee- which was good. I had liver and pork belly, which wasn't what I expected but fine and a reasonable price. We ordered fish fried noodles- it was solid. Surprisingly, the roast pork they served was not good- it was dry and too much soy sauce and seemed a little old. read more

Went there for dinner with my daughter. I ordered a 3 BBQ meats over rice and they charged me $10 for that. They charged me extra $2 for the 2 bottles of water they gave us which should be included with my meals since we are dining in. My rice dish has too much soy sauce. My daughter's shrimp omelette was dry and not much sauce. read more

They are the best cheap and good quality rice boxes ranging from $5 and up. Every time my mom works late she would order for all of us, a family of 5, and we would get -beef with tomato -bitter melon and beef -Chinese broccoli and beef - sometimes my mom gets squid with sour vegetables - I usually get the beef with eggplant - my brother usually gets tofu and fish The best part of this restaurant is that when you get take out they usually give soup, tong sui complementary or duck wings (which are sooo good). Classic Cantonese rice boxes! Taste is good :D read more

Simply put, the quality of the food is poor and service is about the same. There are far better options available in Chinatown; don't waste your time or money at this establishment. read more

Xing Wong is still a relatively new Cantonese bbq, congee, noodle and rice plate restaurant located on the corner of Forsyth Street and East Broadway. It occupies the space of a former Vietnamese restaurant. What is unique about this restaurant is the comparatively vast dining room compared to other area eateries. Since it's still relatively new, the interior still looks clean and shiny. As for the prices, they are standard for the area, in the $5 and up area for noodle and rice dishes. As for the food, what I had was only passable. I had a Chinese broccoli and beef rice plate. There was too much rice and unfortunately what I remembered most about this dish was that the rice was a bit too dry and hard. There was a lot of it too, which made me wish there was more of the beef and broccoli. The restaurant had a good idea in serving their food in large plates. They just need to get the proportion right and add a little more water to their rice. I haven't tried their other dishes or meats, so it will be necessary to check those out. On a final note, service was fast, about 5 to 10 minutes from order to getting our food. read more

This is my new go to when I'm on this side of town for Chinese BBQ meats or cheap home style meals. Reasons why I like XW: - there's usually a good crowd of like 50% capacity, so it's not super crazy and not completely dead - comfortable environment - quick and friendly service - meals from $5! - good quality overall read more

The best congee ever!! It used to be my go to place when I lived in the area but I still go out of my way to come here after I moved. Authentic canto style dishes at the best prices. I'm obsessed with their preserved egg congee - definitely my default comfort meal. Their wonton and duck noodle soup is amazing too. I've never ordered anything that I disliked from this place. Tips: cash only; take out and dine in menus are different read more

Stayed next door in the hotel and wanted to find something cheap and close. The inside was nice and clean and can seat large groups. Git the duck and chicken and the duck didn't have much on the bones but the chicken was excellent. Alright overall. Went back a day later and got the steak platter and was some of the best thing I've ever eaten! read more

Xing Wong BBQ - Duck & chicken. - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I've been coming here on a weekly basis for the last 4 years and this is my first time writing a review. The owner has been here for a while now...I remember when he used to be down the block. A real neighborhood kind of joint with regulars. The service is always good and everyone is friendly. I love the food here. Their Singapore rice noodles and the "har moon" mei fun is one the best in Chinatown. The noodles are a little greasy..so this place is probably not for the health-conscious. BBQ meat is decent. I much prefer ordering BBQ meats at Kings Kitchen across the street...but their meats are not bad. Prices are consistent with other restaurants so not much to comment about here. I do like coming here for breakfast as their congee is very thick (just the way I like it). If you go early enough, you can also get the steamed rice rolls with the dried shrimp. read more

Authentic Chinese food with not too much MSG in your food. If you are looking for quick, good and cheap, here's the deal. They are open till 10pm which is later than most restaurants in the heart of Chinatown. We usually do family style here and the pot rice is definitely good for its price. I recommend the pepper beef on the sizzling plate, not too fatty, but not chewy either. The salt and pepper fried pork is also great here too, not too fatty but fried to crisp. Fried tofu comes freshly fried so be careful not to bite into it right away. Fried fish and tofu over rice is a typical Chinese comfort food and they made that pretty good here as well. Definitely will come back. read more

This is my go-to whenever I'm craving Chinese. I've come here so much and ordered the same dish that the servers know what my regular order is...which iiiiiiis an authentic Chinese dish that's pig intestine with pickled veggies over rice. I know. Sounds disgusting esp if you're not familiar with authentic Chinese cuisine. But I would recommend you give it a try if you like chewy textured foods. Their BBQ duck and pork are pretty good, and their prices make it SOOOO worth it. My beloved pig intestine dish with rice is only $5 and the BBQ rice dishes are also only around $6-7. The interior also is clean (esp for being in Chinatown) and service is fast. DEFINITELY recommend if you're into authentic Chinese food. Remember to carry cash though since this place, like most places in Chinatown is cash only. read more

A standard in Chinatown. Food is always good, and the price is excellent. I agree with another yelper though that the screaming into the intercomm to communicate with the kitchen is quite annoying...but then that is also a trademark for restaurants in Ctown.

Chinatown can be very overwhelming when you don't know where to go to eat. With little time to decide, walked into this place since it was relatively spacious/not busy at the time (Sat. afternoon). Ordered the pork with rice and tofu with asparagus. Food took about 20 minutes to come out, but the complementary tea was nice. Pork - a little on the chewy side, but was tender and the sauce was excellent. Tofu - bland, as it didn't soak up the flavors of the dish well, asparagus was good though. The place is well-staffed and has a nice location near the Chinatown buses, but the food isn't memorable enough to come back. read more

My take out got here an hour and a half later. There was HAIR IN MY FOOD. I ordered tofu with my noodles and there was no tofu.

Came with 8. Ordered seafood and a lot of authentic Chinese greens cooked the Chinese way. Everything served family style. Good and consistent Cantonese food. Super affordable. 8 of us left with a $70 bill and well fed and satisfied. Great place for families. read more

I went here with my mom yesterday and holy shitt I really don't recommend this place. 1) They got my order wrong, I told them I want shrimp with lobster sauce on rice but instead I got shrimp with fried egg on rice. 2) they put way too many rice than the meat and egg. 3) the place doesn't look presentable read more

Relatively new, the restaurant has a pretty convenient location. This could just be the 'fact that I haven't had Chinese food in a while' talking, but I thought this places was pretty great. Most of the prices here are pretty great (in particular, you can get an order of 肠粉 for only $2.50, which I recommend). The cool thing about this place also is that considering the low prices, the place is very clean and doesn't leave anything to be desired in the area of service or hygiene wise. read more

Food here is not freshly made but precooked and then steamed. Ask any chinese person and they can tell right away. Rice noodles is served with cool center, sweet and sour pork is not crispy because pork is soaked into sauce already. Go a few doors down, New Wong and get fresher food and better service. read more
