| - This little, Chinese take-out joint falls perfectly in line with my occasional laziness when it comes to making din-din.
You know what I mean. It's a cold night, your fridge has a wide variety of condiments, but no food--basically, it's getting late and you can't eat just ketchup. (Not that you've tried...)
China Town is close to my place, has that traditional, quick-fix, Chinese taste that you can trust. It's not super special, but damn if it doesn't hit the spot! It's greasy, even when you order vegetarian dishes, and that's how you want it.
Some stand-outs: the wonton soup is actually really tasty! Lots of scallions and tons more wontons than you usually get from other places. The broth has that good, salty flavor, but not to the point of raising your blood pressure through the roof.
Also, the service is always honest and sweet. Just this last time I came in they gave us free drinks for no reason. They really do bust their tushies around there to give you great service.
Might I recommend that you 1) Order your food to go and enjoy it at home (with a location like that and late night hours, it tends to attract creepers and men who are most likely picturing you naked) and 2) Go for the white rice. Their fried rice isn't their strong point, in my opinion.
Good, cheap, typical Chinese food. Open late, courteous--now if I could only convince them to deliver.
