"Most of the city’s cha chaan tengs are in Chinatown, the Richmond, and Sunset, but Wok Up is an outlier. Behind its closed doors on the quiet stretch of the city that is Lakeside Village is a slightly chaotic dining room where families who possess little volume control maximize table space with huge plates of bubbling pork chop rice and chow fun. While far from a relaxing meal, you’re here to talk loudly, inhale food, and inevitably ask for a to-go box." - patrick wong, julia chen 1
