"San Tung’s dry-fried chicken wings are battered, deep-fried, covered in a garlic, ginger, and red pepper sauce the consistency of caramel, and they've single-handedly transformed the casual Chinese spot into a beloved Sunset institution. Prepare for a sticky-messy good time, and a life-changing experience that’ll have you licking your fingers like a voracious wolf pack. Waiting an hour or two in line for those wings—and some crispy-bottomed potstickers, and satisfyingly thick black bean sauce noodles—is a citywide pastime (San Tung doesn’t take reservations). So just drop your name on the small whiteboard up front and build up anticipation outside on the sidewalk with everyone else." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
