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.

Operating across multiple generations of the Zhou family, from 1883 until 1992, the curio shop and fortune-teller business was a favorite of locals and tourists alike, but a combination of rising rents and a lack of interest from the next generation meant the end for this Lower Manhattan landmark. Thankfully, they made it through the '70s, which gave us a killer souvenir t-shirt that is now back to live another life.
