"Everything on the menu at this Parkside Chinese restaurant is under $12.95, so if you just lost an inordinate amount of money to that oil change you’ve been putting off for months, get here for dinner. They have a ton of filling entrées like hand-pulled noodles or chicken skewers, all of which cost less than a couple gallons of gas. If you need more convincing to get to this casual cash-only spot, go for their beef roll pancake—it’s a knockout with thin slices of beef, a generous swath of hoisin, and scallions, all swaddled in a thick pancake." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
