"There’s a reason why New Lun Ting in Chinatown is known as Pork Chop House—the pork chop rice plate special is the best dish at this Chinatown diner. It arrives with two charred pork chops coated in a salty gravy, mellowed out by a pile of boiled cabbage and corn. Open since 1909, this spot is also one of the city’s oldest restaurants, having fed multiple generations of families. In all likelihood, you’ll be caught up in some neighborhood gossip by the time you're finished. Just don’t forget cash." - patrick wong, julia chen 1
