Description: Wang's Noodle House opened their doors in 1968 and was a San Francisco favorite for years to come because of its authentic Chinese menu as well as its late hours, serving until 4:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Description: The Blind Seer was one of NYC's oldest continuously operating family businesses in Chinatown.
