I'd enjoy seeing a comprehensive review of all the chinese dining options in the area. Pointing out which ones use loaf chicken rather than whole, msg vs. non msg etc. I'm surprised at how the quality of many places has fallen off in the last 10 yrs. There were so many good places to dine in the 70's and 80's, I guess all their kids didn't follow mom and dad into the business.
