There’s hole-in-the-wall, & then there’s super-super-hole-in-the-wall. They’ve got ridiculously easy-on-the-wallet Chinese food, including lobster that falls right off the shell.

Best fish dish! Fried fish with spicy salt is our menu-must every time we dine here. You won't be disappointed. It's a mom + pop shop. There's no frills here. Simple decor. Bomb a*s food! Other fave dishes: orange chicken, walnut + prawns

This cozy Cantonese restaurant on the corner of Yale and Alpine, is a reminder that life can—and perhaps should—be slower, more peaceful. Things here are as old-school as it gets: Wonton soups are served in porcelain bowls, hot tea arrives by the kettle, and the people running the restaurant will usher you in as if you’re family. And everyone gets a complimentary soup. Will you eat the best Chinese food of your life here? No. But a meal at Zen Mei offers something just as valuable: a calm, comfortable space where emails, to-do lists, Twitter feeds, and the name "Crypto.com Arena" feel meaningless. It's a welcomed escape. Cash only.
