Hing Seafood? It rings a bell but I can’t place it mentally. Is it on the same block as Green Apple but on the south side of the street? Incidentally, I used to go to Ocean (Chinese) about a block west of 8th, n side of...

for a Reuben fix. When I placed my order the waitress only inquired whether I wanted the potato pancake with sour cream or apple sauce. Waiting for my order, I munched through their delicious fresh pickles and generous bread...
