Popular neighborhood restaurant with good Mexican/Asian fusion food and bar. A bit pricey and the wait can be up to a hour but luckily, they take your number so you can stroll around while you wait.

Get a taste for Hong Kong style "cha chaan teng" with excellent, but no-frills Cantonese fare in a loud, chaotic, and bustling environment. Usually a wait, but moves fast.
