About White Bear

White Bear is a counter barely larger than a closet on Roosevelt Avenue, and the item that made it famous is number 6 on the menu: a dozen pork wontons under a spoonful of pickled vegetable and chili oil, for a few dollars. The wonton skins are thin and slippery, the filling is simple, and the chili oil does the work. There is nowhere to sit and no reason to linger. It has been written about constantly for over a decade and has not changed the recipe, the price bracket, or the operation, which is the reason it is still worth the trip.
