Chinatown’s Wah Mei Fast Food Will Deliver Pork Chops to Midtown
I’m a huge fan of the newish NYC Cravings truck, which serves Taiwanese style pork chops and fried chicken over rice and pork sauce with pickled cabbage two days a week in Midtown. But not everybody agrees with me. There are those who claim it’s not nearly as good as the places in Chinatown, to which I’ve always said: “well, we’re not in Chinatown!” And even though most of us don’t have the time to trek down to Chinatown for Taiwanese pork chops, it looks like Chinatown will actually bring pork chops to us! Got this email from Lunch’er Teresa yesterday:
Just an FYI, my co-workers and I just had lunch delivered from Wah Mei Pork Chop Fast Food (on Hester btw. Baxter & Mulberry.) It was a success. You just need to order at least 4 items, and do it by 11am, and apparently they will deliver ANYWHERE in Manhattan. (My office is on 52nd and 7th).
Their “order”, with prices, is after the jump…
I ordered Pork Chop Over Rice ($4.50) and I added an egg for $0.45. My hungry male co-workers got Pork Chop Over Rice with a side of egg ($0.45) and Fried Chicken Leg ($1.95). One co-worker got Chicken Leg Over Rice ($4.50) and ordered a side of pork chop ($1.95) and egg. I also had co-workers who ordered the salted vegetable & shredded pork w/noodle in soup ($4.50), Chicken Leg and Noodle Soup ($4.50), and Shredded Pork with Hot Vegetable Over Rice ($4.50). Everything looked good! We received our food at 12:10pm. The total for 9 people was $55.35. We gave the delivery guy (who biked from Chinatown) $68. It was an awesome deal. No more Cravings Truck for us!
Well, that’s a game changer.

That is great news! Their food is 100% better than the truck.
@Tom: do you have a park near you or somewhere you can sit and enjoy the beautiful weather? -
good luck Wah Mei. You shall get SWAMPED today because of this!
-
ooo..perfect!! time to round up the asn troops in my office.
-
Nice. Now I don’t have to walkaway disappointed by a sold-out NYC Cravings when the fried chicken crave hits.
-
frikkin love this place. i thought they would get swamped too but it was very smart of them to require you to order before 11am. there are a total of like 5 people working there at the MOST. lol
-
How’s their black pepper chicken leg?
-
@TC- unfortunately, when you walk away disappointed when they run out of fried chicken, it will probably be well past 11am!
-
Yea, it was very well past 11am. I can’t just walk out of my office to wait on line at 11am to claim my piece. Haha. I might as well walk to Popeye’s or go to chinatown than get disappointed again.
-
yea that’s a good point. it just won’t do for spontaneous cravings…
-
just got some of this today. mmmm
-
as did we. mmmm….
they took a while tho. said would be around by noon, didnt call until 12:40-ish. not too bad tho. but the delivery dude only spoke mandarin. lucky for him, so do i (sort of).

What is Yangcun over Rice for $3.00?
-
@greenermjr: As per my mom it’s a very plain rice dish with maybe a few vegetables on it.
This sounds great, but my one problem with it is getting out of the office for lunch is integral to my enjoyment of it. I don’t really want to be stuck inside all day, so not big on the delivery.
