sambar

Mission Chinese
$$
Extreme gourmets and Chinese takeout fans converge on Danny Bowien's cult-food dive.
Tiki pork belly with pickled pineapple and spicy lamb-face noodles are big enough for
two - though not for the salt-shy - and satisfy your conscience: 75ยข from each main is
donated to San Francisco Food Bank. Wine corkage is $10; cash only. No parties larger
than eight.
