The address of this great little store can be a little misleading because the unassuming entrance is actually located on 23rd Pl. and not Wentworth. Once you step inside, you are greeted by a tight and narrow store with three tighter and narrower aisles one must slide down sideways at times. Stacked from floor to ceiling and wall to wall are all of the cutlery, cookery and cafeteria essentials you will ever need. Most of the items in this store are of the utilitarian ilk, geared toward restaurant owners and industry people, but there are a few gems hidden in the tightly packed shelves. If I keep hosting dinner parties, I have a feeling that this place will quickly become my favorite shop in Chinatown. With nearly everything that Woks 'N' Things (a block north on Wentworth) offers at a better price, I soon forgot about the claustrophobia one might feel inside of this place. The shopkeepers were friendly and helpful and didn't fall mysteriously silent when I walked in like most of the shopkeepers in Chinatown.\r
Pros: Wide selection of basic kitchen supplies and cooking gear
Cons: tight aisles, not for the claustrophobic
