"Mike’s Noodle House may be the ultimate in Chinese comfort food. For a quick and inexpensive meal, it’s hard to beat this Chinatown–International District shop’s bowls of wontons, dumplings, and toothpick-thin noodles. The place gets especially crowded on weekends when diners start their day by choosing from a wide variety of congee bowls (including preserved egg, rock cod, and pork liver), paired with a youtiao (savory Chinese cruller)." - Jay Friedman
