The food was delicious. We had the fried rice, pork chop Peking style, and steak with Chinese broccoli. This is my second time and both times the food was cooked to perfection. The service was decent. They aren't as friendly of kind but they got the job done.

Food (4.1) Service (4.1 (Ambience (3.4) This is a classic NYC Chinatown basement location. I like this place better than Wo Hop, which is next door and upstairs. They both draw a big crowd at dinner time so expect a wait. The only thing that has changed over the decades is a bit higher price for a classic great meal. The food is always very good. The Hop Kee Chicken is a must. It's a large boneless chicken breast cut up with lots of fresh Chinese vegetables in a great sauce. Sure it has a deep fried batter around the chicken but it's worth the splurge. The Barbecue Steak with Chinese broccoli is another must try, and I am not a steak or barbecue guy but always love it. So many other dishes, try the String Beans in Black Bean Sauce on the side. The service is always very fast and efficient, the same staff that has been around for ever. The ambience is not fancy, large cafeteria-like tables but it's NYC Chinatown, that's it! Bring all of your friends so you can try more great dishes! Hop Kee Note: Cash ONLY Don't forget to walk a couple of blocks to Ferrera's for dessert, even if it will cost almost the same as dinner... a classic treat. Ferreira Note: Credit Card accepted, lots of it! :-)

Old school family restaurant serving Cantonese style food since the late 60's. Had the opportunity to visit NYC during the lunar new year. HK did not disappoint. It was great the see the place packed with regulars. I stayed with my normal favorites..Peking style pork chops, spicy beef chow fun, salt and pepper chicken wing, crabs, Wife loved the salt and pepper prawns! Wash it all down with a couple of Tsing Tao beers. So good!! Will keep coming back when visiting!!

Stopped by late at night craving some good chinese food. this place did not disappoint. We were seated immediately and the portions are definitely meant for family style but even then were HUGE so had plenty of leftovers even with just two dishes ordered between two people. everything was delicious and would especially recommend the beef with chili peppers. perfect level of spice i couldn't stop eating it! note this place is cash only so come prepared ! there's a bank nearby which was convenient because we did not know and my friend needed to go there to get some cash mid way through our meal
