Chinatown Pork Chop Rice Plates Served in Under a Minute
Grab Chinatown pork chop rice in under a minute at a cash-only Hester Street counter running over 20 years.
🍱 Taiwanese Counter Comfort
Chinatown pork chop rice moves fast at May Wah Fast Food on Hester Street. Crispy fried pork chops over rice can land on the counter in under a minute, and the no-frills spot has kept the neighborhood fed on a budget for over 20 years.
The room splits in two, with takeout on the right and counter seating on the left for anyone eating in. Chicken over rice comes topped with a gravy-like sauce and pickled vegetables, a saucier counterpoint to the crisp, salty chop.
Pork chop combos run about 8 to 9 dollars, an extra egg adds one dollar, and the counter takes cash only. Hours run 9 AM to 8 PM every day, which covers an early lunch, a late afternoon refuel, or a quick dinner on the walk home. Grab a tray, take a stool on the left, and eat while it is still crackling.
