We now have the second professional opinion in, after Mr. Bauer’s, on Charles Phan’s Mission homecoming effort, Wo Hing General Store. Jonathan Kauffman writes, “The cuisine may be different [from Slanted Door], but Phan’s vision is familiar, refined over the course of 16 years and a half-dozen restaurants: smart cocktails, fascinating wine and tea lists, and an aesthetic with the cool polish of a Brancusi sculpture.” But, as for the food, he says it’s not always successful. He loves the stir-fried wheat noodles with pork, “which have a surprising bite, as if Michael Tusk sent over a couple of pounds of his best fettuccine for Phan’s cooks to stir-fry.” And he says the yuba salad and Sichuan red-braised lamb are winners. But he’s bored with the jooks and unimpressed with a number of dishes, echoing some of Bauer’s sentiments, though a little more kindly. [SF Weekly]
