I’m so glad you mentioned Noodle Village! It’s my family’s favorite spot and it always feels good walking past the long lines for Hop Kee and Wo Hop. & their soup dumplings are 🔥
my favorite dish at pings is dragon whiskers i love tripe with ginger , jing fong used to do scallops in shell with custard now it doesnt . oriental garden stopped it years ago . first tried dim sum in the 90s when empire szechuan had a place on 97 and broadway had tripe with ginger scallops in shell with custard and grape leaf sticky rice . place was so good chinese people came and packed it on weekends . moved to 100 and bwy and no dim sum then no crowds . upper west side hasnt had a great dim sum place since now have to go to chinatown in man queens or brooklyn
Loved the video. Left NYC 30+ years ago, coming back for a visit. Was going to go to my old stalwart from 30 years ago Wo Hop but you guys have given me so many new options. Going to have to spend more than 1 day in Chinatown. Tremendous video.
I am surprised House of Joy was not mentioned. The dim sum there are much better than Ping’s and the dinner menu also have delicious choices. Very reasonable prices.
Mmm Chipilo’s!!! Part of my family hails from nearby Chipilo and yes there’s a lot of Italians in Mexico! Two of the best cuisines come together! Also…Mexicali in northern Mexico is very Chinese and the local food is Chinese/Cantonese food! So delicious!
I used to like Green Garden Village and ordered weekly-ish (pre-2020). But I went back again this year for takeout and noticed that quantity had shrunk :/ by a good 20% 🙁 It makes price & quality / quantity ratio increase quite a bit.
And seriously, West New Malaysia is better/more authentic than Curry House, based on sampled benchmarked dishes – sambal eggplants, beef brisket curry, and Asam Laksa
My additions to the list – Hay Hay for best quality/price ratio BBQ meat in Chinatown; NB Wing Wong on Bowery for best old school Cantonese, IMHO.
One hundred dollars?! I don't even have one hundred cents!

My favorite restaurant is Panda Express
THE BEST CHINESE FOOD ARE IN QUEENS AND BROOKLYN. MOST OF MANHATTAN IS JUST TOURIST TRAP.
Love your food opinions. Keep eating, we keep watching.

What are the two can't miss places they list at Mott Street Eatery? Gai Chicken and what else? Sammy something.

Hard to go to these places when you drive. Nowhere to park. And I'm NOT taking no train.

Ming Wong’s crew is from the closed down Big Wing Wong on Mott between Canal and Hester. Food is awesome.
where can i find your hat bro?
The best char sui is at Roast 28 in Brooklyn, and the best Dim Sum in the city is at Precious Island Tea Shop in Staten Island.
Cantonese is awesome.
Please keep it alive.
