Frommer's Review
A couple of years ago, Big Wong was called New Big Wong. This year they want to be called Big Wong King. No matter. They will always be Big Wong and that's a good thing. Why mess with success? For over 30 years, Big Wong has been an institution for workers from the nearby courthouses and Chinese families who come to feast on congee (rice porridge) and fried crullers for breakfast. They also come for the superb roasted meats, the pork and duck seen hanging in the window, the comforting noodle soups, and the terrific barbecued ribs. This is simple, down-home Cantonese food -- lo mein, chow fun, bok choy in oyster sauce -- cooked lovingly, and so cheap. If you don't mind sharing a table, and brusque service at best, Big Wong is a must at any time of day.
