"Rejoice, yon huddled masses: No longer do you have to choose between Chinese food and diner food, at least you don’t at this White Center spot. Opened in 1982 by Chinese-speaking Vietnamese immigrants, this mainstay recently changed hands but is still a cozy, unassuming neighborhood spot for affordable, filling meals. And unlike a lot of the places on this list, Young’s stays open past lunch, until 8 p.m., giving you a chance to get chow mein on your way home from work. (It is closed Mondays, however.)" - Harry Cheadle
