Frequently asked questions
Wo Hop upstairs or downstairs?
Downstairs at 17 Mott for the classic basement institution. The newer street-level rooms are for shorter waits.
What is the move at Wo Hop?
Wonton soup, beef chow fun and egg foo young. This is preserved mid-century Chinatown cooking, order accordingly.
Is Wo Hop good for a late meal?
It is one of Chinatown's late night anchors and moves fast. Bring cash, take the downstairs room and expect a full table rather than a quiet dinner.
