"A Chinatown lunch with a friend had me steering us away from dim sum lines and back to this gritty basement stalwart I hadn’t visited in over a decade; it proved the reliable workhorse I hoped for, even if the food was a little greasier and the vegetables slightly less vibrant than I remembered. The excellent beef chow fun, with glistening meat, slippery noodles, toothsome bean sprouts, and a slick, savory sauce coating it all, is exactly the kind of Cantonese classic this place still does so well. Chinatown changes a little each time I visit, but Wo Hop is forever." - Melissa McCart
