#2 for the pork rolls thanks Jon for the good info!

Here Be Barr ALL!!

[@jeanettevelazquez3364]

I'm curious what flavor of the ice cream did you get, I absolutely love ice cream and want to give this place a try.

[@Beckala67]

Those random Pocky Sticks at the Ice Cream Factory keep the scoops together.

[@terryliu0816]

As a local Chinese, I can say i like your top 10 cheap eat places

[@stanwill]

One second into the video. The woman walking on the right is amazing!!!!

[@sandraaa2384]

As an asian new yorker, i definitely recommend you try these stores :)

[@kariin5801]

Where in china town can I get the best chow mien & beef & broccoli? Fixing to visit from Texas thanks!

[@ramencurry6672]

@@kariin5801 usually Wo Hop is the popular place. But keep in mind, that’s American food. Not really Chinese food

[@adf8664]

I go to Chinatown all the time. I've tried almost all of these places and this is a great list.

[@bibekdas5595]

here be barr is the my favourite you tube channel

[@hllback23]

Bibek Das check out Mark Wiens if you haven’t already. Won’t regret it.

[@nicolesheehan348]

Hey sexy

[@FoodandFootprints]

Wah Fung No 1 is amazing! The roast pig with crispy skin and roast duck is awesome too. And their ginger scallion sauce!

[@HereBeBarr]

I listened to the people lol.

[@lohphat]

Not listed on the menu is juk (aka congee, rice porridge). Not sure if it’s always available but it makes sense as the soup stock is make with chicken bones. Try a bowl!

[@louislark4506]

A phenomenal, immensely informative, eclectic, succulent NYC China Town video production Barr!

[@jazzminb]

My favorite place in Chinatown is the Golden Unicorn - it occupies 2-3 floors in a building on E Broadway, I've been going there for dim sum for 30 years and for 3 decades there has always been a wait to eat dim sum there because its so popular. If you go outside of dim sum hours the portion sizes are large and the food is amazing

[@dengster8884]

Jennifer Holloway Golden Unicorn is by no means “cheap eats” though

[@jazzminb]

@@dengster8884 its reasonably priced eats though 😉 it could be cheap eats when you consider 1 of their regular dishes is enough to feed 2 people because the portions are so big

[@DavidinNYC]

Lived in NYC for over 20 years and I have to say your top picks are spot on!

[@jhoang861]

David H I agree! I used to live there and I can’t believe he found our hidden gems!

[@phoenixghost1099]

Go back to NYC. Its a good city. The city that never sleeps

[@BobbyStef]

Bahn Mi Saigon (on Mott st) is also a decently priced Vietnamese spot in china town that i loved their sandwiches.

[@BlissBatch]

Prosperity Dumpling is way better than Fried Dumpling, and they're finally back after being closed for ages! Their new location is called King Dumplings, at 74 Hester St.

[@3dplanet100]

Hey, thanks for your suggestion. Am visiting Chinatown soon, and I was researching about the dumplings and it looks yummy and I would like to try it, and to come at this location!! Question, since its my first time ordering dumplings, is the order comes individually? Or if I order one order of dumplings, it comes, say like 3 or 4? Also, I was reading that dumplings comes fried and boiled. In that location they has the boiled ones? And does the dumplings have meat inside? Or is it comes in different kinds, such as meat, vegetables, ect? And/or what else inside? Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

[@doc.l]

Nah bro go to tasty dumpling it’s around the corner of fried dumpling and so they’re the same price but tasty has more meat and a thinner dumpling skin

[@cestgum7672]

Im reaaaaaaaally stalling getting this homework done

[@HereBeBarr]

Do your homework , then come back and watch 5 more of my videos ;)

[@msgomezm]

I passed by you when you were recording! Thanks for these videos, I moved to the city a few months ago and they really help find new great places!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks . Say hi next time

[@globaltravel5218]

Loved the format. Straight to the point, and the best thing is you shared the prices!! Thanks!

[@rosie.maevey7210]

I am visiting NY in May and I can’t wait to try some food from Chinatown, your videos are absolutely the best around. I never tire of them. Thank you for your very hard work. Keep the videos coming.

[@amymalina5073]

There is a place on Catharine Street that is awesome. And cheap too. The room you sit in to eat is very small and an interior room, no windows. The food is fantastic. You walk in and there’s a counter and you walk through to get to sit in room. Worth looking for, sorry I don’t have the name.

[@mikerider1237]

Hi. Just subscribed to your channel. Im a cyclist in connecticut. Ive cycled all over ct for 4 yrs and recently purchased a pretty pricey electric bike. Ive ventured out to rhode island, Massachusetts, and Newyork, then finally NYC. Ive been here when i was very young but dont remember the city that much. I did a ton of research, and watched hours of youtube videos to educate myself with cycling in the city. I fell in love with the city .my first ride was north on the hudson river greenway , before the Gw bridge and biked all the way down and around pass battery park to the end pass the two bridges. Checked out freedom tower. Times sguare, central park, and finally back up the hudson greenway. Ill be back many more times. Ive been watching a lot of your videos and gotten many ideas. What i cant find though are more food that can be ordered and eaten outside. Im very nervous leaving my bike, even locked so im looking for places to eat where i can just pull up, order and eat. Any recommendations? Or maybe you can make a possible video for cyclist? Those couple of places in china town i will be Definetly be checking out. Thanks for the great videos.

[@JamesandKarla]

We enjoyed the video and will definitely try some of these spots! We have a few places that you may want to try too that are super authentic and not expensive. We have been documenting small mom-and-pop stores and restaurants in NYC for over 20 years! 😀

[@HereBeBarr]

Just found this comment! Thanks guys.

[@lordhumor6541]

I remember when we had a minor discussion about Wah Fung, I was so excited you mentioned how we kept calling you out hahaha, this list is pure amazing man, I can’t wait to try a few of those, currently browsing your other videos, keep it up KING

[@TheTravelingClatt]

THE BEST food in THE BARRIO

[@HereBeBarr]

Aye oooo

[@zoeiiseda246]

Very impressive list. Only 1 of my go to places on your list. Looking forward to trying your suggestions. Buen Provecho! 🍝

[@TheGriffin66]

Another great list dude! Gonna have to try some of those dumpling places in Oct when i’m there. Beard on!

[@FRaine-sw8ui]

Just go to Downtown Flushing in Queens. You'll find Mainland Chinese food from all over China. Manhattan Chinatown is becoming a ghost town. Take the 7 train. There's also Korean food here in Flushing. And Sushi too.

[@notinthislife451]

Flushing used to be majority Koreans and than Chinese came like ants so now Chinese community dwarfs Korean community.

[@sagarkoirala2922]

I visited NYC for a week and I am flying back to my country today..thanks to your videos I had no problems and enjoyed fullest..thank you so much..

[@clarissakrigger4599]

I also love noodle village on Mott street. It's right across from the chinatown arcade and menand some friends would go there after playing games all.day (before the remodel) every now and again we meet up.and eat there still. Soup dumplings are some of my favorites there as well as their ginger chicken and scallion soup

[@barbaragreene7500]

Really enjoyed this video, will go back to the video as a road map. We'll done, thanks.

[@josecamacho5966]

I must say, I been to 5 of the 10, thanks, now I must return to NY to complete the remaining list, love the video keep it up guys!!!

[@billlee2458]

Number 9 listed. I always craved those during my stay in Hong Kong. Cheung Fun( rice noodles) with peanut butter sauce and sprinkle of sesame. Plus there's a sweet dark sauce.

[@chrisjones5482]

Thanks for the recommendations, going there tomorrow, will wear stretch pants.

[@scottv1781]

The tastiest Chinese food I've found so far has to be Shanghai 21 on Mott St. Their szechuan dumplings are unbelievable. Also, King's Dumplings on Hester St. does 50 frozen dumplings for $11 which is a super cheap way to enjoy good food at home, they do 11 (hot) dumplings for $5 in store. Love your videos dude, keep it up!

[@alikoubrujup_Argentina]

True. China Town, Little Italy..... Many good restaurant outlets in Big Apple. The 1st restaurant I first visited Big Apple was Sbarro, then the above China Town restaurant. The waiter asked for tips after lunch. Then we knew must give tips in NYC☺☺☺☺☺

[@FoodandFootprints]

Fu Zhou’s dumplings are excellent! And those peanut butter noodles are great, too

[@HereBeBarr]

Tell me if I went anywhere you didn’t know

[@FoodandFootprints]

Here Be Barr A bunch we never went to, but believe we heard of all of them. The banh mi spot looks really cool! Pretty sure a friend of ours mentioned it to us a few years ago

[@FoodandFootprints]

Evan! Gotta love when you taste the love in the food

[@HereBeBarr]

🤘🏻

[@evandoyle4930]

we need to grab food together one day!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Evan Doyle Yeah! Let’s do it

[@ryansworldofgaming6738]

Any chance u can do video on best places to get bubble tea please

[@charlotterollinson]

Ryans World Of Gaming I second this!

[@ryannclaytor7828]

Ryans World Of Gaming sounds like a great video idea! Especially since I love bubble tea lol

[@marirchaves]

Great idea

[@jhoang861]

Ryans World Of Gaming Kung Fu Tea for milk teas and Coco for fruity teas.

[@raymondlu4637]

ViVi Tea Is Good Too

[@madonnashomeboy]

oMg, the food at Deluxe Green Bo was incredible. Couldn’t believe the prices or the portions. Totally worth the trip downtown!! Thanks for the recommendation. This place is on our list for future NYC trips!

[@abdulalhazred4345]

Dude! Another great video! So many great places to take my out-of-town friends. Pure delicious genius!! 👍😋💜

[@mackayja65]

awesome video..I can't wait to hit chinatown next week

[@ZeroHootsGiveth]

Thanks for putting all of the places you went to in the description box. I'm literally getting on a plane right now to New York City. My hometown. I will be visiting a bunch of spots that you mentioned in this video. Thank you for sharing.

[@eddiew2325]

I love you Shari

Me, living nowhere near NYC: “Huh, all looks pretty good”

[@selwynowen6213]

I love Chinese food. Those places would be like heaven for me 🥢🥡😘😘😘😘

[@nilobeebee]

That foxy chinese girl at the start of the video hooked me in. Not saying that Adriana is roadkill though. Great video.

[@itsmenana_9897]

88 Lan Zhou was my place to go for some really good dumplings 🥟 in China 🇨🇳 Town !!! Ashame 😔 it had to close down due to COVID.

[@MYacono]

Been going to Sau Voi , Mei Li Wah Bakery and Fried Dumpling for years ..Always take overseas guests there, they love it!

[@bibekdas5595]

here be barr is the best of you tube

[@JamieRoberts77]

I agree 100% with this list and I don’t think you left out anything else spectacular. Wo hop is good and Peking Duck is good but I’ll go to Buddakan if I’m going to pay that much anyway. Also, I’d add in one extra bonus, which is in Chinatown but they’re all over - Vivi Bubble Tea. Who doesn’t love a good bubble tea in the summer.

[@billh.1940]

Wo hop, long time favorite!

[@verseessential]

I swear i wish i can hang out with you guys. Fun eats. Great video

[@robertocs3851]

I went to Deluxe Green Bo last year with my wife and oh my the food was delicious, the size of the meals was huge and most impressive we only paid like 20 bucks for a humongous noodle plate with veggies and prawns and 2 kind of dim sum orders. we couldn't believe it and not even our friends back in Spain when we showed them the pictures. a complete win for sure

[@SeephinLim-xp4zx]

Nice show case. Love to see more of Chinatown food offers

[@elizabethwickwire2304]

Wow good food and wow great prices, watching your bachelor party video after still get a good laugh such a good idea and love the purple suit

[@InShannonsKitchen]

Gotta check out Flushing Queens for the best variety and quality Chinese foods. It’s definitely more than one can eat in a day but a must visit destination for anyone who loves to eat!

[@FoodandFootprints]

You did an awesome job with this!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks Greg !!

[@JamieMG]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Definitely some places to go next visit. Just stayed at The Allen Hotel. Made the walk to Little Italy for Tiny Shanghai soup dumplings

[@JamieMG]

Forgot to add that I will for sure visit Deluxe Green Bo. Congee Village was right there too and we didn’t go. :(. Thanks again!

[@2000konnie]

How about a Best Dim Sum restaurants list, regardless of price? Anyway, loved this video. That's the only time we ever do Dim Sum, but don't know that many places. This would be very helpful to occasional visitors.

[@teresahoward7821]

Second this request!

[@MateoQuixote]

You make the absolute best NYC lists, man. I cannot wait to try some of these places when I'm in NYC next week

[@comptonharsham6499]

Hi John. Very informative video as usual.

[@markheller1382]

Mi Li Wah is great! a favorite of mine for 50 years!

[@Alan-to2te]

Great information...... and they say you can’t eat cheap in NYC..... great video.....

[@chihchung]

You should try May Wah Fast Food on 190 Hester. Their pork chop over rice or chicken leg over rice are must-haves.

[@doc.l]

chihchung that’s facts

[@LadyStacyDragon]

We checked out 66 today and absolutely loved it! Thanks for the recommendations!!!

[@PinkyBear]

Thanks for sharing these cheap eats! The beef brisket soup looked especially yummy!!

[@wolflike24124]

Saving this for future plans when I visit NYC! Thanks man!

[@jhoang861]

Jomar Beran I used to live there in Chinatown. His list are accurately legit! I used to eat at these places when they were more obscure and only us asian knew. Now everyone knows about it.

[@mattguy2998]

Im goin 2 brooklyn 2morro but after seeing this list I'll gladly make a stop in chinatown 2 get number 10 cause that rice and chicken is now calling me.

[@DallasBoricua]

This video was great. Beyond that you made me feel like I was there with you. Thanks for making this video.

[@ba8yluvs]

Thank you for making this video! I'm actually heading to NYC for the first time and excited to try most of your recommendations since we'll be close to the Chinatown area. =]

Can’t wait to try some of these the next time I go to NYC!

[@jolee7044]

Everything looks delicious 😋😋

[@steves1749]

You missed my favorite place. Woo Hop. 17 Mott st. Been going there almost weekly for 30 years.

[@HereBeBarr]

I like that spot, i'm going to save that for a late night food video as I love that it's 24/7 :)

[@jtzimm233]

I was raised on Wo Hop. Love it there!

[@steves1749]

Here Be Barr, just walked in from eating there. Hot & sour soup, fried dumplings, chicken with eggplant, butterfly shrimp with bacon. And the soup noodles are home made. My favorite place for old school Chinese food. I’ve been there late at night. I think they close like from 4-7am. I’ve been to the fried dumplings place on Mosco st when the wait is too long at Woo Hop and we’re hungry 😋. Have to try some of the spots on your recommended list.

[@harlanginsberg2907]

Thank you. Clearly the best place in Chinatown. There chow fun is ubelievable

[@camachda]

They also left off HOP SHING, in Chatham Square.

[@ameliarodriguez8416]

One of my favorite spots is 456 Shanghai in the center of Chinatown. I crave their pork soup dumplings DAILY

[@akcalo]

We went to Fried Dumpling today after watching your vid and boy was it good! We got the Fried pork buns to share. Oh boy was it good. We went to get some more but the line got long. I guess everyone loves it too! We're definitely gonna hit it up next time we're there.

[@DotWavey]

While it’s a bit of a trip, Frank Pepe in Yonkers is the best pizza I ever had in New York, I usually go there at least once a month and I live in queens!

[@The19X]

Fantastic Job! Keep em coming !

[@algernon5776]

#3 Jing Fong is R.I.P but in its day was absolutely 💯 one of the best NYC Dim Sum places. Awesome place but covid got them.

[@taralalla50]

Wish i had seen this video before i visited NY and chinatown last month.

[@wwenyu2]

Another great video! But Chinese cheap eats is more than just dumplings and noodles. It would've been nice to feature some lesser known noms.

[@Tuna_Tataki_Tacos]

Love the amounts of hole in the wall places in your guides, really good stuff ☆

[@paulnipper]

We stopped by the delux market in Elizabeth Street before watching this video, and were please to see it on your list, as it's a perfect place to pickup some great cheap Chinese food. So much so, we bought too much and had to take it away with us. Highly recommended 🙌😄

[@sinceercunningham9293]

Thanks you are helping me on my first new york trip u the best bro

[@chandrasekarank.l9146]

Great efforts put forth to give the viewers a wonderful time Mr.John. Happy to watch your vlogs. I will continue to watch. It requires real love for the vlog your are doing. I can see Indian Origin kids in your team. Nice to watch and thank you.

[@joidariel]

Fried Dumpling was such a hidden gem. I went there randomly and got two bags of frozen dumplings for $12!

[@spillthwinesfinds1244]

I’m going to be staying at a hotel with a kitchenette. How do you cook the frozen dumplings? Also what dipping sauce do you use?

[@juliagostina3491]

You re they Best vloger 🤩 hace meses que miro videos sobre ny y los tuyos son los mejores.

[@peterchan4386]

#10 and #2 I totally agree, also the dim sum joint is passable, the best has to be the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, superb oriental and western flavours, will try some of the others when I next visit the Big Apple 🍎 🍏 next time from across the pond here in Sheffield, England.

[@jonathanlui9613]

I prefer the rice noodle cart on the corner of hester and elizabeth (across the block from 'deluxe food market'). Their rice noodles are made to order and are usually better tasting. My go-to order is the pork rice noodle, with an egg! My only tip with that cart is that you need to eat it asap after buying as they get firmer and not as good as it cools down!

[@myu8303]

That roast pork rice for less than 5 dollars is a real deal. Solid meal.

[@charlotterollinson]

I loved this!!! I can’t wait to visit Chinatown 😍

[@RS-jh2kl]

I saw your video where you were singing in the train station in the Bronx. Please let me know when your next performance is so I can donate my spare change. Your instrumentals were on point. Collaborations next please!

[@cristiano555]

Lol, i usually watch your channel but never got to see this video, i just been in new york a couple weeks ago and accidentally went to deluxe green bo. Kick ass dumplings, delicious food, but the place is usually packed, good place nonetheless. I went to eat there anytime i was near chinatown

[@bhigdaddymark]

Instant subscriber thanks to this video. Thanks for this excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT video!!! I am embarrassed though as a now (32 years this month 7/15) ex-New Yorker (born & raised in Manhattan), I’d only been to Chinatown TWICE in my life and the last time was a year before I moved out of NYC in 1986 hanging out with friends and we went to a restaurant (no, I don’t remember the name of the place) at 3am and had a full course meal that was superb! Like I believe many of us native New Yorkers are, we take what we believe to be the tourist spots for granted, I’ve never been to the Empire State Building and I’ve only been to the Statue of Liberty twice in my life first time as an elementary school student and the second time was when I took my son there when he was 8 or 9 and that was the last time as I was done doing the tourist thing (I told him the next time he goes there, it’ll be with his own kids). We tend to take these things for granted as I’ve yet to go to Little Italy as an example but I did make it to Windows on the World, the famed restaurant on the 110th floor of the Twin Towers. I must check out a couple of these spots next month when I go home for my annual visit. Thanks for the list!

[@lykamonteroso4007]

Lol went to Deluxe Green Bo last time, it was filling already, the combo was already good for 3 people!💯 and we ordered the soup dumplings as well, interesting flavors.👌🏽

[@DJplaymySong]

Fried Dumpling used to be $1. 😭

[@itzthezidi23]

DJplaymySong dumplings used to be bigger too 😤😂

[@doc.l]

Da gmt when I came back from college over break and they went from $1.25 to $1.50 ripppp 😭

[@vincentvanderbilt5598]

Used to be 5 pieces for $1 at Prosperity Dumpling until someone spotted a rat inside the kitchen and report it and somehow they closed down!!

[@walterbrunswick]

Guys, I know it's shocking, but in this wonderful system of capitalism we have the Fed printing money out of thin air, and this thing called "inflation" happens.

Very informative with good recommendations! Thanks for this video!

[@Harry_16710]

Great picks... I'm now starving!👍🏼

[@gordonkainoa9426]

I wanna go to New York just to try your food places excellent video now do one of Chinatown San Francisco

[@jesse7523]

My favorite Chinatown spot is Bodhi Kosher Vegetarian Restaurant. (77 Mulberry St location... Yes there is a huge difference in quality). Do not go to to the Mott St location as it is not as good. During weekdays they have a lunch specials menu. Trust me you can't go wrong here!

[@nickandhelmi]

But Jon you can eat them all in one day 😬☝️ if you bring your partner! Sharing is caring haha

[@mabelsoodedina9289]

It’s a solid list. Great job!

[@xfactor1497]

Awesome video! Will def hit some when I am back in NYC, hopefully sooner than later. Keep it coming with the vids, I love them. Maybe another bagel video, one of my favorites

[@kitchenpractical7967]

I enjoy watching through your web videos. Thanks a ton!
