NB Wing Wong 大永旺

Duck and squid is always tasty there. One of the best in Chinatown flavor wise.Make sure to get the ginger scallion sauce!!!

Comfort Chinese food for an incredibly affordable price. We had 3 dishes and a tea for around $22. We were stuffed and struggled to finish the food. This is your typical Chinese/Cantonese eatery. Very casual and just meant for a quick stop. There's bbq meats hanging in the heated meat locker and a few simple tables to eat at. A ton of to go orders and the local community coming to get their 1-2 lbs of bbq meats to use for their home cooked meals at home.

NB Wing Wong was my first stop in NYC for several reasons; they are known for their roast duck jook (congee) and the wok hay of their dry beef chow fun, both these elements are hard to find anywhere on the west coast. I ordered waaay too much food ,but since the hotel had a mini fridge, all the leftovers were packed to go and I gave them away to a local friend the following day. Starting with the roast duck jook, the bowl was huge and completely loaded with duck. The best part was the flavor of the jook tasted as if it had been made by someone's grandma who knew how to cook! Using just a bit of white pepper enhanced this dish even more for those who want a bit more warmth. I was so happy to see that they had donut sticks that I ordered one to dip into the jook. Even though it was gigantic, I still managed to eat half of it just because it was perfectly chewy and savory, just as I remember them to be. This is another thing I don't see on the west coast and I once sent friends on a wild goose chase trying to find one while I made jook at home.The classic shrimp with lobster sauce had GIGANTIC prawns that were perfectly cooked and very addictive. I came for the wok hay in the dry beef chow fun and it did not disappoint! The beef was tender without too much tenderization, and the noodles were not too greasy while still not clumpy. Wok hay is the flavor of the wok that gets imparted into the food, and the obviously well seasoned woks they use added that elusive flavor to this dish to give it a savory smoky seasoning that is impossible to describe other than to say you know when you taste it that this was not made in a brand new wok. They even make their own chili oil! It was a rare treat to get homemade chili oil served in a restaurant. I had to get some gai lan in garlic, and even the stalks were tender!I loved their food so much, I ordered take out the morning of my flight they open at 8am) for my flight home, roast duck and rice (which came with cabbage) and baby bok choy. Everyone on the plane, including the stewards, was eyeing the food on my flight home ;)

The chicken leg was amazing. I thought I had really good chicken leg before but this was so tender and juicy. The ones in the soup was not as good.

This is a cash only spot. NB Wing Wong is the same price and has portion sizes as hay hay roasted (my fav ever) but the meat quality at hay hay is by far better.

We've been ordering takeout congee from this place now that the weather is colder. Their congee is definitely a hidden gem of an item. For about $7 to $8 you can have a large container of congee that will feed two people. It has the correct consistency, and good broth base. Make sure to ask for white pepper on the side.

Cash only, the owner looked at me as I caused him pain to pick up the food. After reading so many good reviews then ate bad food, maybe I called in when the cook was taking a smoke break and forgot about the salt and other ingredients. I got a $18 seafood fried noodle, the "gravy" was so bland and flavorless simply mixed water with starch, I always watch my salt intake for blood pressure then had to dump two mini packs of salt( wish I had more) from two utensils sets I got somewhere else to make it eatable.The broth had few pieces of squid, fish, artificial fish tofu and 2 pieces of scallops and gai lan. The squid and fish tasted fresh, I took a bite of a scallop it was sour, spit out immediately, didn't wanna get food poisoning in the hotel while traveling for work. You would only need to make one mistake to ruin your business. As someone who is Chinese ate in NYC Ctown for over a decade, I would say stick to the classic establishments around like Shanghai 21, Hop Kee, they are not perfect but they are better than this one, or it was just my bad luck.

Only have good things to say about this spot. delicious Cantonese foods, quick services, and not annoying owners (when I come to Chinatown, I don't expect too much service wise especially for these casual eateries, as long as they don't do creepy things make me outright uncomfortable) It's a neighborhood shop. This place is packed by elder customers, who might just live around the block and dine in here very often. I came to this shop early morning around 8, and the restaurant was doing prep works and was frequented by the nearby residents, whom the owners greet and have chit chat with. I somehow found myself traveled to Hong Kong. The price is a bless. For 11 dollar, I got a bowl of congee and pork rice noodle. The taste from what I can tell is pretty legit. They aren't sneaky about the ingredients either. You get a decent amount of proteins in both dishes. A hot bowl of congee and freshly made rice noodle to pick me up in the morning is exactly what needed.

Food was really good for the price. Service was attentive. A step above a hole in the wall. Had quite a few tables. The portion for the meat entree combination was large for a decent price.

The congee that we ordered had a bad smell. It is obvious that the meat is not fresh. We told the owner and he immediately took the congee away and asked if we'd like a replacement as if he already knew the ingredients are not fresh. They recommended a more expensive replacement and we didn't get any compensation for the bad experience. The sun sai gai restaurant that we usually go to is way better and cheaper. I would not recommend this place. Go to Sun Sai Gai instead.
