"Luk Yu is probably featured in every tourist guidebook ever written, but it’s worth putting up with the fanny packs and condescending service for two things: the gorgeous, meticulously maintained 1930s decor, and the sweet and sour pork. The latter, lest you think it a fabricated Chinatown dish, does in fact have its roots in China. At Luk Yu, the sauce is made the traditional way, with hawthorn, giving the deep‐fried nuggets of pork a deeper, cherry‐like color and a more rounded tartness than the ketchup‐and‐vinegar takeout variety.
