I remembered the first time eating this. It was only $3.25. and the price wasn't the reason why I came back. The man was chopping meat and placed it on my plate, then went in again and started chopping again with more meat! And he wasn't finished! He chopped even more! He could barely close the top. And when it came to pay, it was only $3.25! That's when I realized why there was always a long line in front of his shop.
@@uaeats HI , I AM LIVE IN INDONESIA...THIS CRISPY PORK AND CHARRED SIEW PORK IN JAKARTA CITY INDONESIA , THE PRICE IS NEARLY USD 6 OR RP 80.000 ,-.. AND ACTUALLY CHEAP IF THE PRICE ONLY USD 5 , 5 IN NYC CITY
I think one reason why Chinese food used to cheap in the old days is because it was unpopular before exposure to the internet…..I’m not talking about Americanized Chinese food
I worked on the Bowery (the other side of this block) for several years. This was a regular lunch … and take stuff for home … stop. (Its only to go) Usually I bought the stuff by the pound or two … lunch sometimes with rice … Roast pork: Tcha-siu Braised pork: Siu yo Roast duck: Siu or Faw Ngup the first two is what he’s having … the red is Tcha-siu They also have (it was shown briefly) a kind of delicious sausage but I forgot its name. Every time I go to NYC I load up on this stuff from this place. I love authentic Chinese and out of all of Chinatown this has always been a favorite. Chrystie Street South of Grand
Use to eat here with my Mother whenever we were in Chinatown area for fish or court. Still wish they made a fried rice to go with that delicious roast pork.
I ate there by accident one time. Me and the homies were in NYC taking in a Yankees game and we were out and about looking for cheap eats that wasn’t hot dogs and someone said go to this place and when we got there I was like what?? Huh 🤔 so we waited in line all of us got the same thing the roast pork and when we sat down opened it up took the first bite the three of us were like damn wow this is fucking delicious and I mean we had a 125 pound girl with us who absolutely devoured this meal.

Hey UA !!!. Watching from Melbourne Australia. Was in NYC eating from Wah fung in 2019. One of the best cheap eats in chinatown Sat exactly where u ate hahahah . Keep up the great food videos . Cant wait to come back.. Peace!!
No way! Awesome that we sat in the same spot! I'm sure many people end up eating in that park since it's so close. And nice hearing from you in Australia, thanks for supporting the channel!
OK, Quebec City here, so if I go to NY, I have to go to Gallagherès, Jewish delicatessen for a knish, Chinatown, Katzès, get a mutton chop, keenes, I used to get that BBQ pork in Victoria with BBQ and Sichuan pickled chickenès feet. Jerseyès got some good eats too.
I went to wah fung my bday 2021. Long line… I ask the lady at front if I can cut the line if I buy her food. I guess I told her it was my bday. She end up buying my food and said she will buy me a piece of chicken because in her culture that’s what they do for people. Asian lady. Thank you
Haven't been to Manhattan Chinatown and more than 30 years. From time to time I make the trip from Central Jersey to Brooklyn Chinatown and Flushing but it ain't easy to get to Manhattan Chinatown from here and there's no parking. I think later this spring going to make my way there and give this place a try.
I used to come here EVERY Saturday at 1pm & get the Peking Duck with rice back in 19'. & super economic prices. They used to freak out because I used to order so many cans of soda.
Me and my nephew my family was going out of town when we stop by this place early in the morning they open up at 9:30. Which is typically early for a Chinese place. We was very early so we didn’t have to wait too long we was about the first customer there. I ordered the Mushu pork with rice and cabbage that’s all they serve their. And my nephew ordered the duck and my cousin ordered the chicken. Actually the food was pretty good and he drizzled it with some special sesame oil it tasted pretty good but the only thing it was miss😢 was some soy sauce. And I wish they had more varieties of rice like pork fried rice well send this meal to another level. but they have none of that only white rice and cabbage. pretty good. If I’m in the area I will get it again and actually the price was good too I got a large so it was 750. Put the smallest 550. 👍🏾
Eating good ass char siu from Scarborough/Toronto Ontario rn and that looks delicious 🔥🔥 if you ever have a chance to try Toronto Cantonese food you won’t regret it 🙌🙌
Good that itès not drowning in sauce-some Chinese restos are bad for that, like buffets. Costco has those Jinan style deep fried cheese battered hot dogs and dammit I forgot to buy them today!
The roast pork is sooooo good. It's whatever sauce they use that's the kicker. I don't care what anyone on here tries to say about this place, don't listen to them. Go there yourself. You have three choices of roast duck, roast chicken and roast pork. Comes with white rice and cabbage. So good. Small serving is $5 something and large order is $7-$8 something. Try going early because the line gets long outside. Small place, so it's about two to three people at a time that they serve.
i watched dozen of reviews from this place and ppl are praising how good it is so it was on my to do list on my new york trip yes it's very cheap for the amount of food no the food is just mediocre it has that overseas chinese food take to it if you tried roasted meat from southern china/hong kong before then you'll know and yes you can get rice lunchbox with 2 types of roasted meat and a cold drink in hong kong for that price (before covid)
Hi I like the videos. This style of pork is my fav. From Boston where is the best place in Boston or Greater Boston I can get this style of Char Siu like Wah fung or close to it?
Thanks! I'm not very familiar with Boston unfortunately. Maybe try asking around on Reddit? Or just head to Boston Chinatown and try char siu spots and see what's good!
The Char Siu I knew about being a popular dish but that roast pig dish is there a specific name you can ask for to get that? I've never seen that before and it looks like it'd be right up my alley.
It's not roast pig, you will never see the entire pig hanging like in some other restaurants. It's more like roast pig belly, the same cut as bacon. It goes pretty fast, since they are only roasting the pork belly. If you see it hanging there, just ask for it, it's a flat piece if meat, with a textured, crunchy golden skin.
I went there yesterday, good food but I will try the bbq pork instead of the duck, too many bones the small is 6 now and large is 8 it was about 85 degrees out long line!
@@uaeats we used to have a restaurant like this in buffalo eddies chophouse but they closed. Id rather buy lunch here than some tourist trap garbage I see so many visitors like me to nyc eat
I used to eat wah fung everyday for lunch for a month. Can confirm it’s cha shui pork is good for the *price*. Everything else is actually not that good. The roast pig was pretty bland and dry. The roast goose problem is you don’t know which body part you will get and sometimes you won’t get much meat due to the goose anatomy.
I miss Chinatown New York Peking duck house was always a good one and a few others that we frequent it now in Los Angeles for quite a few years Chinatown Los Angeles isn't bad same vibe
I live two blocks away. I never buy from them. I like lean meat & roast pork to sweet for me. Always long lines because of their low price & extra amount of meat.
well i tried that place before indeed you get a lot food for the money and i ordered exactly the same thing but the meat is just ok'ish you can tell the roasted pork is very uneven with meat and fat if you had roasted meat in southern china/hong kong before then yeah this is just "ok"
There is a difference between roast pork and roast pig? Aren’t they both pigs? Edit: turns out one is char siu… I wasn’t aware cos when I order I use the Chinese names 🤣
You really get what you paid for. This is probably the cheapest place to get roast pork rice, but if you want REALLY GOOD roast pork, you need to try Big Wong. For all the people I always see waiting in lane, I hope you're waiting for cheap eat, not because you think this place is good. The roast pork here is considered low quality.
@@uaeats Not sure use to go to a couple of spots down there when I use to take the Chinese bus to Atl when I lived there six years ago! But Im gonna revisit since you recommended it. Btw check out the chicken spot in the Square yesterday it was Amazing! especially the Mac & cheese! So thank u so much for ur videos I am gonna check out the taco spot on sip 2mrw!

Yes you're absolutely right. The food is amazing and the cheap prices mean there's no reason to not eat there

I go quality over quantity!
Great video! Maybe you could do a “best foods under $10-20” around NYC - lots of hidden gems
That's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
Great idea!!!!!
i agree
I worked on the Bowery (the other side of this block) for several years. This was a regular lunch … and take stuff for home … stop. (Its only to go)
Usually I bought the stuff by the pound or two … lunch sometimes with rice …
Roast pork: Tcha-siu
Braised pork: Siu yo
Roast duck: Siu or Faw Ngup
the first two is what he’s having … the red is Tcha-siu
They also have (it was shown briefly) a kind of delicious sausage but I forgot its name.
Every time I go to NYC I load up on this stuff from this place.
I love authentic Chinese and out of all of Chinatown this has always been a favorite.
Chrystie Street South of Grand
🇦🇺😀Hats off to the chefs working in that heat .these are the food heros.
Excellent food
Cheap eats is much better than stuff we can.t afford.
love your content man! so refreshing, original and authentic
Use to eat here with my Mother whenever we were in Chinatown area for fish or court. Still wish they made a fried rice to go with that delicious roast pork.
As a Asian, you never pair any dishes with fried rice because it will take away the essence of the dish.
Well.....looks like I'm going to Chinatown this weekend! This looks amazing, thanks!
It's very tasty! Just be prepared for the line
I can't wait for them to open again so I go in there!!!!
I definitely like the first bite Yuegasm moment. It rocks the bed.
Can't wait to try it 😋. On my bucket list
New Kim Tuong to the right of Wah Fun with the green canvas had good beef chow fun.

I'M DYING TO EAT THIS!!
Char Siu Pork is awesome, I've never had a bad one from an authentic Chinese place. Never had that other one though, don't even know what it's called.
It's great!
It's so damn good, the roast pig has so much explosive fatty flavor and lives up to the hype
Hey UA !!!. Watching from Melbourne Australia.
Was in NYC eating from Wah fung in 2019.
One of the best cheap eats in chinatown

Inflation - thanks, Joe.
I've been there. Gotta go back!!
Just stumbled upon your channel. Just subbed my guy!
Oh man I remember going to Wah Fung before the lines ☺️ great to see it!
What's up Jeremy! How much was it when you first started going?
@@uaeats Same price I think!
@@jeremyepstein7977 No way, it was definitely $4.50 before COVID
Yep, it's brilliant.
Love that place, worth it all day
Wah Fung rules!
I'll have to try this - I go over to Hay Hay Roasted probably once a week
One of the BEST cheap eats in Chinatown, hands down!
Wah Fung hits the spot every time 🔥
Great video. Keep on keepin' on! Was surprised to see you don't have 10,000 followers :)
Thanks! That's high praise! Hopefully I'll get to 10k someday!

Hi UA.. Can you do one on best Dim Sum spot? Would be great to know if you have a favorite.
Dim sum is a good idea! Keep the suggestions coming!
Great vid.
Thanks!
Should try Ming Wong's Cha Xiao, imo has a smoother consistency
Is this in Flushing?You making us HUNGRY!!🤤🤤🤤
Nope! Manhattan Chinatown
Dam i remember my mother takin me here as a kid. I miss being a kid n livin 20 mins from city.. now 32 living in pa.. i need a trip!!
Damn that looks good! Great vid UA
Thanks! It was delicious and very affordable

It's very good! It's not just a bargain meal, it's genuinely amazing!
great recommendation !

UA ...roast pork, roast pig.....it looks like you pigged out today 😅
Hey UA. Watching from Indonesian🇮🇩. Nice Video Bro. . . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! Great to hear from Indonesia!
Man That food made me hungry
Imagine how hungry I felt while editing this
Google say they are temporarily closed now 😢
It's closed due to a gas leak. Such a waste as I will be there for only 2 days and they are shut. 😢
This guy is like a young Mike Chen lol 😅
3:12 😄
Are there Chinatowns in other boroughs in New York? You mentioned I am in Chinatown in Manhattan.
Yep, there's one in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and also one in Flushing, Queens.
Roast Pig is called Siew Yuk in Cantonese
What is the difference between the aluminum and the styrofoam boxes?
yes, this is worth the price!!!
One of the best budget foods in all of NYC!
The Char Siu I knew about being a popular dish but that roast pig dish is there a specific name you can ask for to get that? I've never seen that before and it looks like it'd be right up my alley.

In NYC Chinatown they call it roast pig. Just say that or point to the drier (and not red) hanging pork with crispy pork skin
Its actually braised pig/pork. Correctly named/pronounced its “Siu Yo”
Unfortunately they closed 😢
I went there yesterday, good food but I will try the bbq pork instead of the duck, too many bones the small is 6 now and large is 8 it was about 85 degrees out long line!
Yep I definitely recommend getting the BBQ pork there or the roast pig! The duck is good but not my favorite duck in Chinatown imo
@@uaeats we used to have a restaurant like this in buffalo eddies chophouse but they closed. Id rather buy lunch here than some tourist trap garbage I see so many visitors like me to nyc eat
Very often there's a line in front of store, 7-10 deep.
Pretty much anytime you go there will be except when they first open

The roast goose problem is you don’t know which body part you will get and sometimes you won’t get much meat due to the goose anatomy.
it sits too long and just gets generically bland
Ah I love the roast pig but to each their own!
pork there is great !
If that was in Austin at that price, I would eat it several times a week
I used to come here 2-3X a week when I still lived in the city!
What the ACTUAL ADDRESS? Of this joint
I really enjoy your content. If you could remove the music while you talk it be even better. Thanks,!
US got some confusing name for them... here @ AU, roast pig = BBQ pork, roast pork = roast pork....
Whats the difference from pork and pig
Have you tried the duck there? Looks like they have duck
I have. It's only okay. I'd stick to roast pork or roast pig
when i first went there, it was $1.00....!!!
Rent in New York is high but food is cheap
I want that pork Oh my God
Me too! Need to go back soon
I miss Chinatown New York Peking duck house was always a good one and a few others that we frequent it now in Los Angeles for quite a few years Chinatown Los Angeles isn't bad same vibe
Come to Markham, Ontario, in Canada. For sure better Chinese cuisine than in NYC.
I live two blocks away. I never buy from them. I like lean meat & roast pork to sweet for me. Always long lines because of their low price & extra amount of meat.
What's with the mask outside?
The meat look too fat for my taste. I like it little more in the lean side.
well i tried that place before indeed you get a lot food for the money
and i ordered exactly the same thing but the meat is just ok'ish
you can tell the roasted pork is very uneven with meat and fat
if you had roasted meat in southern china/hong kong before then yeah this is just "ok"
Want to know how delicious BBQ is?
We should do a collab!
I'm down!
There is a difference between roast pork and roast pig? Aren’t they both pigs?
Edit: turns out one is char siu… I wasn’t aware cos when I order I use the Chinese names 🤣

Are you on IG
I don't have a UA Eats Instagram page, but maybe I should make one!
话说pork 不就是 pig meat 吗？
Come on Chinese-style roast pork? It's Chinese roast pork!!!
WOULD LOVE TO TRY THT CHA SUI
Question: why are you still wearing the mask? Especially outside?
since they became famous, the portions are much less. those lines kill me, i used to eat here regularly. kind of annoying, but oh well.
Really enjoyed the Nyc tour even though Im from there!
Glad you liked the vid! Have you been to Wah Fung Fast Food before?

Wah fung is overhyped imo. The price is good but the quality is meh.
For being cheap I doubt that's pork
US$ 5.50 ceap for America. If convert US money US$ 5.50 others country Currrency Expensive.
Less than six dollars
Roast pork & roast pig….What’s the difference
The roast pork is a BBQ pork with Chinese BBQ sauce. The roast pig is more dry and has a crispy pork skin
I thought you didn't like fatty meat.
FJB
Calm down dude
Just torture watching you eat the food I can't have.
Why not try it?
I love watching you wear that mask outside, alone. Humiliating yourself for comedy for your audience.
Pet peeve..reviewers that do no give you an address...😤...I know I can Google it, but its so easy to post it..
The address is listed at the end of the description. I always post the restaurant addresses there in my vids!
