"Hsiu-Mei Wong, aka Mama Candy, has owned Chinatown karaoke dive bar Bow Bow Cocktail Lounge for 33 years; the legendary spot (1155 Grant Avenue) was once called one of the “Worst Bars In America” for exactly the same rough-around-the-edges qualities that make it beloved, and SF Gate described the bar as displaying the “distress of years of rubbed elbows.” Wong now tends the bar only on Fridays and Saturdays, but Bow Bow remains open 365 days a year." - Eve Batey
