Well Travled

Great local Asian cuisine mainstay especially on Friday afternoons; indoor acoustics a but hard on the ears but worth the visit...

5-Star Friday Happy Hour

Wang's has perfected the indoor/outdoor Friday evening cocktail-before-dinner/dancing event much like Park Manor Suite's "Top Of The Park" in San Diego (without those rooftop views of the bay, of course). Wang's offers a conversation-conducive though still festive atmosphere in a huge outdoor area and an equally inviting interior separate from the restaurant where many end up after a few (too many) drinks after happy hour(s). Others have a short walk to the heart of the gay district after Wang's finally dies down. Perfect as either a warm-up or for those not wanting to stay out too late on Friday. And the locals are all too willing to meet and chat with visitors.
