There are a few ways to clock a great cha chaan teng. Look for classics like baked pork chop rice and milk tea, fast and efficient service that the SFMTA could take notes from, and a healthy dose of neighborhood gossip. That’s all here at Wok Up in Lakeside Village. Order by marking a paper menu, and in minutes, your table will be loaded with plates engineered for leftovers. Go for bubbling pork chop rice or fill up on some of their dim sum items like the Portuguese egg tarts and xiao long bao, all of which you can wash down with a lemon iced tea. Despite some dishes arriving at the wrong table and high-volume quarrels unfolding in the open-kitchen, tables turn fast. So swing by for an impromptu lunch or dinner with a few friends you’re confident you can defeat in a duel to take home what you can’t finish.
