Wah Fung Fast Food Review

The Famous Wah Fung in Chinatown, New York will immediately meet you with a long line of people anxiously waiting to taste their famous roasted duck, chicken, and pig. By all standards, Wah Fung is a humble establishment but its fame, the long lines, and the delicious smell of roasted meat will beckon any foodie to its doors.

Upon entering the small storefront, the sound of cleavers chopping meat, the smell of succulent roasted meat, and the sight of the hanging ducks in the window will greet you. The fast moving workers will ask for your order and I suggest that you know exactly what you want before you step into the establishment. Luckily, there are only a combination three options to choose from: roasted duck, pork, and chicken over a bed white rice and cabbage. You can order any combination of these three meats with the price ranging from $5.00-$7.00 depending on the size of your portion.

The food, by any standard is excellent but because of its extremely affordable price, the value is truly unbeatable, especially in the heart of Manhattan. Now, lets talk about the taste. Each meat is uniquely delicous (my favorite being the cha siu), and the the slightly sour cabbage that drapes over the rice cuts the fatty flavor perfectly. The massive bed of rice, the the base of the dish, soaks up the excess juices wonderfully. This old-school chinatown joint is a must visit for anybody visiting New York City that I highly recommend
