"Mike’s Noodle House in the CID may be the ultimate in Chinese comfort food. For a quick and inexpensive meal, bowls and noodles (the specialty is toothpick-thin egg noodles) are mighty satisfying and can be combined with dumplings and/or wontons. Bring a friend to wait in line on weekends, and add a warm bowl of congee with various toppings and a youtiao (savory Chinese cruller) to the order." - Jay Friedman
