This Award-Winning Mission Restaurant Is a Sleeper Brunch Hit | Eater SF

"My personal go-to recommendation in the Mission, where chef Chris Yang and front-of-house superstar Marcelle Gonzales Yang balance nostalgia with high-caliber cooking beside a parade of kung fu and rom-com movies streaming above the bar. The small menu is a no-skip playlist, but I prioritize the honey walnut shrimp and the pork toast—a smart presentation of ground white shrimp and pork mousse breaded in panko crumbs before deep-frying. Brunch here is a sleeper hit: order creamy lu rou fan, an egg-laden breakfast dish, before crashing through milk tea French toast, and know the turnip cake chop salad is a rare must-order. Beyond the titanic cooking, the lantern-lit long bar has lots of room yet feels intimate; it isn’t stuffy (no white tablecloths), and the seriousness of the kitchen and service staff will make you feel taken care of. Best for dining any night of the week, and particularly weekend brunch, it’s a destination that’s still warm enough for solo dining—an order of turnip cake chop salad is wise." - Paolo Bicchieri
