Hing Won Gets a “C”, Stops Hanging Roast Meats
Thanks to Lunch’er Copyboy for sending over this important news re: Hing Won, our favorite Chinese food place in Midtown (on 48th btw. 5+6th). “Hing Won Gets a C. It’s the only inspection grade of “C” I’ve seen, and as part of the restaurant’s knuckling under to the Health Dept., they stopped hanging their roast meats. But take heart Hong Kong food freaks: you can still order roast pig, and despite the low grade my favorites (sauteed udon w/roast pork, spicy beef stew, Indonesian curry chicken) continue to not sicken me. Nor has the grade had any apparent impact on the lunch crowd.” Whew. That was a close one. This isn’t the first time Hing Won has been in trouble with the DOH… let’s hope it doesn’t effect quality the way it did with Ying Du. (Ahem, sorry. Ming Du.)

Doesn’t give me pause. I’m going for lunch tomorrow.
There may be less of a line now. Woo!

I will keep going until I get sick, and maybe even after that, depending. This is the place that started Zach on Midtown Lunch. It’s like a shrine to me.

Emily, the C rating gives you pause but the previous shutdowns by the DOH didnt?

I LOVE this place and have never gotten sick from lunching here. That said, this C rating gives me pause. I will think twice about lunching here in the future if the rating doesn’t improve. Food poisoning is not somthing to risk!
