Chinese Restaurants in AA/Ypsi
| 
Dec 2 17:35 UTC 1993 |
One of the things I've always liked about Ann Arbor is the selection of
restaurants--especially Chinese restaurants. At one point, I counted
21 Chinese restaurants in the AA/Ypsi area. Since then, I know that
one has opened up at the Courtyard Shops and another is scheduled to
open in the old Ponderosa on W Stadium.
So, tell me about the Chinese food you've had lately.

Last week, I got daring and ordered one of the specials at Dynersty--the
Hokien-Style Wonton Soup. For $4.50, they served me a huge bowl of
soup with wontons, noodles, and some Chinese vegetable. It was
excellent!
If you ask me, Dynersty is one of the best deals in town.

I like Chef Jan's restaurants. The Empress on main street is my
favorite Chinese restaurant of all, but it's not cheap.
His other, the China Gate (South U at Church) is more reasonably
priced, although higher than Dinersty. I prefer the food to
Dinersty's, but I don't disagree that Dinersty is a bargain.
I also like the Great Wall (around the corner on Forest).

There's a new take-out place on east of the Kroger's on
Washtenaw in Ypsilanti. But I haven't tried the food
yet.

I think Chef Jan sold China Gate, so his only current restaurant is The
Empress. Like srw, I also like the Great Wall, but not nearly as much as
the Empress.

He remodeled the China Gate, but the new look failed, so he went
back to the old format. I don't think he sold it.

If you like spicy Hunan food, check out the Hunan Scallops in
China Gate. MMmmmm. (Over $10, but worth it.)

Our favorite is Forbidden City East, on Washtenaw in Ypsi.

I've always wanted to attend a Chinese takeout potluck where everyone
brings their favorite entree from their their favorite Chinese
restaurant. Label the boxes and let everyone get a good sample of
Chinese around town.
I'd bring Orange Beef from Middle Kingdom or Champagne Chicken from
the Empress. Yum.

That's a good idea. Wish I'd thought of it!

I'll bring this up again after the holidays when everyone again
has a few free weekend evenings.
