Went to Mission Chinese last Friday with a friend. Got there with the early birds when it opened and were seated right away. By the time we left an hour later the wait for a two-top was three hours. No, thank you.
But the food was fun–Kung Pao Pastrami?–and the killer dish was thrice cooked bacon. I’d go back for that alone. I’d just make sure to go early–and maybe lunch is doable, too.

Heard about the Kung Pao Pastrami in a recent write-up. Any good?
I thought it was okay but not as great as it sounded. That bacon dish, though. Damn. It was served with these rice cakes that were shaped like disks and I've never had them that way before. Really appealing.
I remember going there and loving that place.
Holler at me next time you're in the hood.
