"A sit-down spot participating in Chinatown Restaurant Week (Monday, May 19 through Saturday, May 24) that requires reservations for prix-fixe dinners. During the event diners can scan QR codes at each participating restaurant to collect points; with every three points a diner receives a raffle ticket eligible to win a free meal at one of the participating restaurants (winners announced the week of Monday, May 26)." - Nadia Chaudhury
"“I love Hop Kee. That's an old-school Chinese restaurant we've been going to for years. We used to live not far from there when my kids were little, and they grew up going there. They like the salt and pepper shrimp, and then the squid with the hot peppers. We'd get egg foo yung, the beef chow fun. Their string beans are really good, and the chinese broccoli. I know a lot of the waiters—they've been there for at least 20-something years.”" - sonal shah
"A Cantonese restaurant open since 1968, Hop Kee's landlord family worries that the city's plan to build a $2.3 billion, 45-story jail in the heart of Manhattan's Chinatown could spell the end for many of the neighborhood's oldest restaurants." - Luke Fortney
"I’ve remained loyal to Hop Kee, which — along with other classic Chinatown spots — feels like a throwback and an important link to immigrant culinary traditions." - Eater Staff
"Cited among the popular businesses in the 10013 zip code, Hop Kee is described as part of the Chinatown cluster of establishments affected by the city's decision to exclude that zip code from the LMI storefront loan program, which local groups say fails to account for income diversity and the financial strain caused by xenophobia and dwindling relief funds." - Tanay Warerkar
