Wah Fung No 1

for new york food, one of the best deals you could get out there. great portion sizes, crispy and perfectly roasted pork, a great classic chinese dish to enjoy on the go. cheap meal, but you do need to pay a long wait time as lines are usually long

Wah Fung is the best value meal I think I have ever had! I went around 6:15 PM and came at a lucky time since the line was less than 10 people (when I left the line grew significantly). There's only two people working inside, one serving the food and the other as a cashier, so it takes a minute but it was worth the wait!

I forgot to take photos since I ate it immediately outside in the cold. I got one small roasted pork over rice. The pork is juicy and flavorful and fatty. It was an amazing amount of meat for the price and split it between two and felt it was a solid amount of food for two. Rice and cabbage were a little softer/cooked than preferred but for the price and considering the pork is the star of the show it was not that big of a deal.

Wah Fung is worth every penny! I overheard some locals complaining about how social media made the place too busy and hard to get but I think it's such a good deal and great food that it can't be gate kept!

As seen on many youtubers and vlogs, but this place always have my heart since the earlier years before youtubers and vloggers were a thing back in the days. Lines always out the door, as part of cheap eats in Chinatown, you can't go wrong here. Local eats here, tourist eats here, just about everyone. If you can't eat pork, they have chicken. For a small plate it's $5.50. CASH ONLY!  Even with the small plate you can still share but I opted out for a large because why the heck not! For $2.50 more, you get more! GIRL MATH! JK JK I was just really hungry being in that line so might as well get a large. The cashier/ butcher was super sweet and nice, give us a couple of piece of Crispy pork aka HEO QUAY!! Comes with rice and cabbage, you gotta eat your veggies but honestly, I would get another plate, fly it with me back home and eat with pickled daikon with sliced carrots from the com tam plate, if you're vietnamese you know what I'm talking about it. To cut the fattiness of it, not that it's bad, I just like to balance my meal with something pickled. Like thit kho.
Anywhom, i'm rambling again about food, just a foodie at heart. Would definately recommend this place if you don't mind the line. It's WORTH IT!! Trust me.

NYC might be expensive but if you know where to look, you can get really great food and super cheap, that doesn't give you the runs. Not in this town where public restrooms is hard to find.

5 stars!!

Small shop but PACKED with flavors and amazing services. Need to come here earlier to get a half heo quay or vit quay and see about their pecking duck.
