    The stop that’s an hour wait is absolutely worth it and such a good price. They’re packed everyday, even now in the cold. So if you make the trip be prepared to wait.

      I think NY NOODLE town makes better BBQ cuts. That place was good bc it used to be dirty cheap and stuffed to the rim.. like $2 for that aluminum foil tray with more meat. I miss that OG butcher there.

    I grew up in NYC.
    My go-to as a kid was always roast duck and roast pork on white rice at this place called Big Wong on Mott Street off of Canal.
    Back in those days it was $3.50. Nowadays it’s $9.
    But every time I go back home, which is often, I always stop by there for it.
    Stills tastes exactly like it did 25 years ago.
    And it always puts a smile on my face! 😊

    Grew up going to Wah Fung and Mei Lai Wah and went all the time when I came back to New York after college. Thanks to all these social media people the lines are out of control and the locals never go anymore, completely ruined something special that the community had. Recently spoke to the owner of a restaurant next to Wah Fung who was telling me about horrible interactions with unappreciative tourists and people trying to film everything. Such a shame.

    • @prettyprettysmart
      @prettyprettysmart Рік тому +4

      Yep and it’s not like the increased business at Wah Fung helps the other small businesses around it. Immigrant Chinese-owned businesses that have been open for many years on the same block are still closing. This trend of only going to tiktok- famous places to eat is not only really annoying, it’s negatively affecting people’s livelihoods.

      @@SamIamNot13 it’s high because they can make it like that for money. They don’t allow certain food and drinks through security and stuff so prices are high like movie theaters where everything is like 2-3 times more expensive. Well it’s not because they can it’s mainly cause of their high rent prices and stuff to be able to operate within an airport which definitely does not lack people so I would say operating cost
