"This Park Hill treasure is only open Tuesday to Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Thursday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Penelope Wong and her team make mighty good use of their time, whipping up not only Asian dumplings galore but all sorts of regular specials for lunch and happy hour: Depending on the day, that could mean bo luc lac (Vietnamese shaking beef), honey-walnut prawns, crispy garlic noodles, or classic char siu bao. There’s no better bet for an afternoon breather these days." - Ruth Tobias
