Gary TorielloDecember 27, 2014Kung Pao Pastrami - Pastrami cubes, tianjin chile, bell peppers, celery, home fries & peanuts.
Alexis BendjouiaDecember 5, 2015Bougie but worth a visit. Good late night noodles with a fun Phil Kallins cocktail that's def worth tasting.
Reshad SabedAugust 1, 2015Never tasted anything as spicy as the wings. Worth a try. Overall a delightful Chinese dining experience
Beth BatesJune 26, 2013Don't miss the thrice cooked bacon or mapo tofu. If you don't want to wait 2+ hours for a table, call in an order for takeout.
If you want a really new culinary experience, try the "Married Couples Beef". Your mouth will be delightfully confused and numb.
Dane FeldmanAugust 20, 2013Get there right at 5:30 and you won't have to wait. Don't skimp on the cocktails-- creative and strong.
Leo N-BAugust 23, 2015Get a couple of starters and entrees to share, they're all pretty much amazing.
Josephine SonMay 26, 2012Lives up to the hype! Get the bacon & rice cakes and salt cod fried rice. Warning when they say spicy, they mean it!!
Judy NguyenMay 11, 2013Go with a bunch of people so you can attempt to try as much of the menu as possible. Use both bathrooms but especially the left one.
Cusp25June 13, 2015Green papaya salad with banana - refreshing and cooling after the three dragon chicken wings
Saif DiaJanuary 6, 2013Great twist on American Chinese food. The pastrami and lamb are recommended. Worth a 30 min wait, but not much longer. Food was a bit over salted during my last visit.
Devin A. BrownNovember 18, 2012Delicious piggy tail cooked in cola. Thrice-cooked bacon with rice pasta discs no joke--its hot and tasty.
Salt and Pepper Lamp rib tips along with the standard stuff. Best place on earth!!
Natalie ShpiegelSeptember 25, 2016Beef brisket with bok choy is amazing! Also get the bread with kefir
Chicken wings, torn cabbage leaves and the Mission Daiquiri. There isn't a more perfect pairing. Threesome. Whatever.
Rebecca SJanuary 28, 2013Worth finding the hidden gem. Definitely order the sizzling cumin lamb and the salt cod fried rice.
Gigi AgiusJanuary 30, 2015The whole roasted duck is the best duck I've ever eaten. Get it, it's worth the $$
Monica LoJune 6, 2013Taiwanese clams with caramel soy, thrice cooked bacon and salt cod fried rice = phenomenal.
A GSeptember 28, 2012Damn fine Chinese, Diane! Not sure which one of their Twin Peaks-inspired bathrooms is better: the one done up like Laura Palmer's bedroom or this "Red Room Lodge" themed one.
Joy DingJuly 16, 2012chongqing chicken wings are best ever. thrice cooked bacon omfggg wait is long but free beer while you wait is pretty sweet.
Yifei YanOctober 27, 2012Try their thrice cooked bacon (shanghai rice cake). It is REALLY HOT but also REALLY GOOD!
Nick CreeganApril 6, 2016Chicken wings, beef jerky fried rice, thrice cooked bacon, bread and butter, pastrami
Josh OynickJune 4, 2015(1) Order bread service + caviar (2) Mix caviar into butter (3) order everything else (4) pass out happy
Davina KimJanuary 31, 2015Everyone knows about the food... But their music selection is awesome as well! :)
Jon SteinbackJuly 13, 2012astoundingly, the vegan versions of the pork jowl and the thrice cooked bacon are amazing.- Tom LeeApril 1, 2013True, I gave more stars to other restaurants. Mission Chinese Food, which got two, is young and probably still growing. The same dish might taste very different from one night to the next. But both...
Food RepublicJune 26, 2012Get with the Mapo Tofu x Kung Pao Pastrami x Thrice Baked Bacon. Beware. The spice ratings are the truth.
Thrice cooked bacon, salt cod fried rice, king pao pastrami and a special. That's it. Don't worry about a thing. Derricious.
Cathy MuldowneySeptember 13, 2012Twice cooked bacon and snap peas were good. Pass on the pig tails. For drinks, get the cocktail made with grapefruit!
Lauren LachsJanuary 4, 2013you'll forget how long you waited to get inside once you take your first bite of cumin lamb.
DKNLSeptember 24, 2012Just had lunch here. Not sure what all the fuss is about, most dishes are too salty or spicy to really appreciate the true flavor of the ingredients. Try Yunnan Kitchen down the street, much tastier.
Paul HyunFebruary 12, 2013Go for lunch. The food is interesting and a lot of fun, but not wait-in-line-for-2-hrs good!
EvaJune 26, 2012Mapo Tofu. Thrice Cooked Bacon. Kung Pao Pastrami. The spice gets real. Watch yo'self. Oh, and free beer while u wait!
A Handshake lunch haunt. Get the salt cod fried rice and the sizzling lamb ribs!

"Text the bar to order, colorful lighting, feels like the Havana scene in Guys and Dolls. Kitschy funky decor, warm, lively. The music is so good, and the leopard print pool table in the back is 👌👌"
