Wu's Wonton King

Broadway hums with morning chatter. Wu’s Wonton King anchors the block at 165 E Broadway, New York, NY 10002, where the scent of ginger and scallion drifts onto the sidewalk. This Chinese restaurant keeps the neighborhood fed from dawn until late, offering breakfast plates alongside wontons, beer, and coffee—an unusual but welcome mix for early risers and night owls alike.

Across three meals, the menu stretches from steamed dumplings to hearty noodle bowls, with a few lighter options tucked in between. Fast service means you’re never waiting long, whether you’re grabbing a solo lunch or a late-night bite after the bars close. Alcohol flows alongside comfort food, so the same spot that fuels morning commuters also hosts evening regulars with a cold Tsingtao in hand.

Call (212) 477-1112 when you’re ready to order, or swing by when hunger strikes—no need to plan ahead. For directions, check the map. The Lower East Side never sleeps, and neither does this corner kitchen.
