CitySearch Tips

The Extras

There's a secret "phantom" menu of Chinese specialties not usually offered to Americans. Ask for it.

Know Before You Go

This is a cash-only restaurant, with a required minimum charge of $6.50 per person.

What to Drink

While the menu only lists a handful of sodas, Hop Kee is equipped with cold Tsingtao brews.

    The urban legend of the phantom menu turns out to be true. - Anthony Bourdain, host of No Reservations
  • Lauren P.
    fried salted squid (&/or the porkchops) & the seafood basket are always my go-to dishes!
  • Nino B.
    Snails Hong-Kong style is off the hook
  • Darshy N.
    The best authentic Chinese food in Chinatown. It's basically a hole-in-the-wall restaurant but the food is amazing, even the snails! [Eww I know] Was featured on A. Bourdain's travel channel show.
  • Pamela T.
    Salted spicy squid. Enough said!!
  • Kenny E.
    Get the porkchop Peking style! You won't regret it! Oh and CASH ONLY!
  • jeff k.
    Chinatown basement hole-in-the-wall. Looks gross, but is secretly AMAZING in every way. Totally authentic. Huge menu. Cantonese crabs-YUM! Cheap too, so order every 4th dish on the menu and enjoy!

    Love staring at Anthony Bourdain on the wall. :,)
  • Untapped Cities
    While we'd normally be a bit wary of recommending mussels in Chinatown, Hop Kee's are just too good to pass up. Pair with roast duck! Read more at http://bit.ly/UntappedHopKee.
