See my re #100 (which apparently got ignored by most.)

In this day and age, I'd take sanitary conditions pretty serious.

What vegetables does China Buffet II offer? Most buffets have ONLY green
beans or only bean sprouts, plus iceberg lettuce, olives, shredded carrots
and other American salad type stuff. We tried about 5 of them on our 3 week
trip and one had at least 5 cooked vegetable dishes (Bloomington IA). We
don't eat the fried/battered stuff anyway.

It's been awhile since discussing chinese restaurants in AA/Ypsi. My
housemate and I were discussing this topic recently and we both agreed
that we weren't crazy about the chinese restaurant in the strip mall on
Whitaker Rd in Ypsi, near Aubree's [I think it's called 'The Great
Wall?]. I wish it WAS good; I've only gotten food there once. But my
housemate concurred with my opinion; stating that he found a piece of
plastic wrap of some sort in with his food. Yuck.
I noticed a couple months ago that the Chinese Buffet II [located on
Washtenaw in Ypsi, next to the Asian Market] is no longer there; the
building's been torn down. There's still some machinery on the lot like
maybe they'll be something built in its space--but there hasn't been
recent work, from what I can tell.
I'm still looking for someplace good in the Ypsi area...

Is that the strip mall on the corner of Eishenhower and State St, across
from Briarwood? Or maybe its the one further down past Main St? I'm
out near Briarwood for an appt. each week so I may have to check it out
someday.

The Collonade Mall is closer to Ann-Arbor Saline Rd. Across from Office Depot.

I dont eat Chinese Food in Ypsilanti too much but there are a couple of
places that have pretty decent food. One is called China Chef. It is on
Washtenaw in the same mall as the Secretary of State. The other is
called Lucky's or something similar and is in that little strip mall
next to the McDonald's that is near EMU on Huron River Drive. I havent
eaten in either place in at least a year but both places have been in
business for years (a good sign) and when I have eaten there, I havent
had any bad experiences. Also, there is a Panda Express in the EMU
student center which is ok too. Nothing to write home about or anything
but it is pretty cheap.

Paradise, by the way, is a family business: the owners are there and
serve. They are Vietnamese. Their daughter is in her rotations in medical
school, and their son is trying to get into acting in Hollywood. It is
like a classic American immigrants success story - so long as the
recession doesn't hit their restaurant too hard.

Dear Ken,
Could we try Paradise as a debrief location one of these Saturdays?
I mean, how bad could Paradise be?
Sincerely,
Gladys Tanktop

Speaking of chinese restaurants and a Saturday debriefing--rumor has it
that this week's will be at the Evergreen Restaurant in the Plymouth
Mall [the mall is located on the north side of Plymouth Rd, just west of
Huron Parkway].

We may go food shopping this Saturday at the Chinese grocery store next door.
The restaurant itself is possibly the most uninteresting Chinese one we have
been to. Maybe it is okay for carnivores. The food store is the best in Ann
Arbor. Dried shiitake by the pound, preserved duck eggs, dried tofu, unusual
vegetables, jujube fruits (red dates), various noodles...

Though I've been to the restaurant [Evergreen] several times, I've never
checked out the grocery store. Are they owned by the same people? I
think I'm going to be in that neck of the woods tomorrow [my sister's in
town and will most likely be at my brother's tomorrow through Sunday
when she heads back to Chicago]--so I'll probably be seeing her
somewhere along the line. I'll have to see if I can work in a visit to
the Plymouth Mall, if I can work it in around noon.

I don't know if they are the same owners. The store is doing well and has
expanded into several store fronts. They have a vegetable and a fresh fish
section too, and lots of snack types stuff, and prepared dishes in the
freezer. The other customers can usually explain what things are.

Evergreen is awful. I didn't like it even when I was a carnivore.

On my way home this afternoon, I noticed that the chinese place in the
strip mall a few miles from my house was open today. If I had liked the
food better the one time I had stopped there in the past-I would've been
tempted to stop and bring home some food for dinner this evening. But I
passed on the idea, saving the $$ for something else that would taste
better and be more economical. Though there ARE a number of chinese
places that give you a lot of food for the $$. At least there used to
be; I haven't eaten at many since moving back up to Michigan.
