World's Top Late-Night Restaurants

David Chang

Wo Hop, New York City

“It’s tucked away on Mott Street in Chinatown and has amazing 1960’s café decor—which I actually think looks terrible. Stay away from the egg rolls, but do order the blue-crab special. For the best atmosphere, eat downstairs.”

Bellagio, Shanghai

“This Bellagio is not a Las Vegas hotel, but a faux-swanky Taiwanese brasserie. There are several locations in Shanghai, and they’re all open at all hours. It’s my favorite restaurant in Shanghai—which I know is sacrilegious—but everything is so delicious, like the pork-belly pot with egg and their weird fried breads. Don’t leave without ordering the shaved ice—it’s a must.”

Toriyoshi, Tokyo

“Toriyoshi is a Japanese yakitori chain. This location is in the central Minato neighborhood, close to the Omotesando subway station. Don’t let a bias against chains throw you off—there are great ones throughout Japan. This place has amazing ji-dori, or ground chicken. Order a cold Kirin and about 20 tebasaki—their signature chicken-wing skewers—and enjoy.”
