In Short
The cooks behind this bustling counter serve up authentic Cantonese barbecue to a perpetual queue of customers. Fortunately, the line moves fast as flavor, not presentation, is valued here. Eating here means sitting at cafeteria-style tables, digging into take-out containers priced by the pound. A pound of spareribs with black bean sauce, ma po tofu, or assorted vegetables is $3.25. Pick up a 40-pound roasted pig for $188.
