Crack Chicken

I am a bit hesitant to share this gem here because it is always so crowded to begin with, but I just couldn't hold out on you guys any longer.  When I have a hankering for Chinese food there is really only one place that I want - San Tung.

Outside the store on Irving Street

San Tung is an addiction.  Once you try it, you honestly will crave it all the time.  The first thing you have to order here is the chicken.  You could try nothing else except the dry fried chicken wings (bone in or out) and not miss a thing.

Crack Chicken - you will not be able to stop eating this

However, if you are hungry for more, I recommend the dumplings (pork or shrimp and chive), any kind of noodles (I prefer Chow Mein) as well as the green beans - they are to die for and almost as famous as the chicken.  You really could order anything on the menu.

Some more suggestions: Mushu pork, fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, and Mongolian beef.  Despite sounding like a gringo I will promise you that even the bf orders it (and he's Chinese).

Tourist Tip: It gets packed so either get a group of 6 and make reservations or call for pick up.  If you don't, you will wait at least an hour during dinner time.  They are also closed on Wednesdays!
