If you come to Mission Chinese, be ready to leave.  With only 6 bar stools and a buzz that guarantees a 2 hour wait for a table, the odds are against you.  But for a solo diner, on 2 of the last 3 visits, a bar seat cleared in under 5 minutes.  Did he say “scrambled egg” dumplings?  It’s a little hard to hear with the pumping rap rumbling your bones (though not unpleasantly).  Tattooed and dyed bar staff are friendly and informed.  The bar is near the front door scrum waiting for a table (and often, checking phones for alternative plans).   Mission Chinese promises an unexpected adventure:  in the excellent food, the downtown crowd, and possibly in the East Broadway neighborhood, should you be turned away by a 2-hour wait.  It is young, fun and worth the effort.
