"Verdict: Quick, delicious, and reliable. The sidewalk patio has the best seats in the house. Woon has been around since 2019, but food TikTok can't shut up about how convenient, delicious, and fun this place is. We can confirm that all of the above is true. In roughly ten minutes flat, this casual Chinese spot in Historic Filipinotown serves chewy beef noodles, clouds of scallion pancakes, and pork belly bao so tender it basically disappears like Houdini. Woon only accepts walk-ins, and it's usually not too difficult to snag a spot. Order at the counter and then sit on the sidewalk patio where friends in matching corduroy drink Taiwanese beer on plastic stools. It's really that easy. Add Woon to your last-minute dinner rotation if you haven't already." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nicolas zhou, cathy park

"Once you use Woon for a get-in, get-out dinner, there’s no going back. This counter-service spot in Historic Filipinotown offers everything you need for a quick weeknight get-together with that one couple you met at a friend’s birthday. No matter how packed Woon gets, there’s always a table, and your scallion pancakes and chewy beef noodles arrive in minutes. And if these new friends don’t mind sitting on plastic stools on the sidewalk and drinking beer, congrats, they’re keepers." - sylvio martins
"Woon is a reliable spot to keep in your pocket when you need to squeeze in a quick, satisfying meal before a big night out. This family-run Chinese restaurant in Historic Filipinotown is incredibly efficient: you order at the counter, they give you a number, and within ten minutes, you’re eating delicious Shanghainese dishes like beef noodles, tender pork belly over rice, and flaky scallion pancakes. There’s a single large table inside for your group to gather around, but we prefer claiming one of the outdoor tables with stools for extra legroom and people-watching." - sylvio martins, brett keating
"Let’s say you just met someone last week at a mutual friend’s party and barely know them. You probably want to choose a spot like Woon that’s easy for walk-ins, conducive to chatting, and quick enough that you don’t have to sit through awkward pauses if the conversation runs dry. This HiFi restaurant serves a mix of Cantonese- and Shanghai-style dishes, like chewy beef noodles, crispy scallion pancakes, and bao buns stuffed with tender pork belly, all of which come out within ten minutes of ordering. If dinner goes well, stick around to have Taiwanese beers on the outdoor patio." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, nikko duren
