And despite multiple revisions of the space, including one in April 2007 (after a wayward car crashed into and slightly damaged the eatery), Hop Kee feels suspended in time. The restaurant, outfitted with faux-wood paneling, red-vinyl booths, and mirrored walls, serves standard-issue Chinese dishes, such as fresh-vegetable-filled lo mein and satisfying chicken with cashew nuts, in family-style portions. The expansive menu, little altered in decades, also delivers lesser-known delicacies, such as hard-shell crabs slathered in a creamy egg-based sauce and whole, crispy pan-fried flounder, to a largely Filipino clientele\u2014yet not a single dish derives from the Philippines. What attracts that crowd? The owner says it\u2019s the reliable specialty fare and the BYOB policy. The late-night hours don\u2019t hurt either. \u2014 Alexis Korman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 Mott St New York, NY 10013 Tel: (212) 964-8365 Website: http:\/\/hopkeenyc.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-search-our-detailed-new-york-restaurant-database"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43150"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43150\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43152,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43150\/revisions\/43152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=43150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=43150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
