9. Super Wok
Reviewed By HikingTom
Just un-impressive as chinese can be. Got the chxn fried rice and shechuan beef, rated as 'hot&spicy'. Was neither. Lots of veggies with a decent sauce but the beef was rubbery and tasteless. I usually avoid something 'spicy' but this was fairly flat to my tastebuds. Rice was also very bland, nice yellow color but the chicken was not flavored particularly so it lacked flavor. Mid-pricey side as well. Staff were very nice. not alot of tables and the decor is exceptionally bland - like the food.
8. Tokyo Japanese Restaurant
Reviewed By Sid_Mac
The name of this restaurant is now Margaret Kuo's - Media. I had a wonderful experience for dinner here Saturday , 2/4/12 evening. The interior belies the ordinary street-front facade. Inside is very tasteful, and quiet with understated elegance. It is Asian-themed throughout. There is a sushi bar in addition to the two dining areas. All of the staff from the maître d' to the busboy were professional, courteous and friendly. Our waiter offered several helpful suggestions for our meal, clarifying that some menu listing were sized and priced for 2 people (it was not obvious on the menu itself) and offering alternative dishes.My dining companion had the Braised Duck, which is half a duck, braised. Very moist and flavorful. My second companion had the Velvet Chicken, which is chicken with egg whites incorporated in the preparation, she said it was quite good. I chose 2 different sushi rolls for my meal: The Crazy Roll consisting of eel, shrimp, crabstick, smoked salmon, avocado, cucumber, scallion, caviar and spicy sauce; and the Tiger Roll consisting of spicy salmon, caviar, cucumber, shrimp and avocado. Both were delicious, with about 5 large pieces per roll. Dessert was a fresh home-made lemon sorbet which was light, smooth and refreshing.Though there is no bar to sit at, a full range of cocktails are available as well as wine and beer. Also, one may BYOB at no corking fee, quite nice!Overall, dinner here was a wonderful experience.

6. Dim Sum-Mania
Reviewed By 359td
We read about a new dim sum restaurant in the suburbs, so of course we had to check it out right away. We visited it during dinner time and it was crowded. Food is delicious! They even have a Nutella Shake â which you donât see in many restaurants! The beef scallion pancake was to die for! The crab meat soup dumplings tasted like crab meat â which was so flavorful! As dessert we had the steamed creamy bun and it was a instant favorite! We will be back!

5. Jing Fong Chinese Restaurant
Reviewed By HikingTom
I hope most people realize the food we get at a chinese type place is not 'chinese food', that's more of a euphemism. I hesitate to cite chinese establishments as a 'cottage industry' as there are probably as many of these joints in each town across america as there are "Fongs" in the San Francisco phone book eg contributes to our GNP. all kidding aside, its where most people get their sense of what a specific ethnic cuisine is - but to be fair that's as variable as tastes in pizza. So I'll give this place a mixed review keeping that in mind. Its an unassuming shop with not much for tables & chairs. Its a good sign when you see a chinese family eating there, speaking in madarin. I was surprised when a 10 year old girl took my order behind the counter in fluent english, rang me up, then shouted commands to the cook (probably mom) in equally fluent madarin. She starts 4th grade in September she said. Anyway I went with a General Tso combo platter with pork f rice and egg roll. The chicken was mildly breaded and probably makes an appearance in most of the other named chicken dishes on the menu. The sauce wasnt particularly spicy altho this dish if most often indicated as such on any chinese joint menu. I doubt they make these egg rolls fresh, it was deep fried crispy on the outside. everything was fairly bland including the rice in the combo, but no one should be shot over it. BTW its cheap eats on a per-entree price level. Just in case you think I have an ax to grind my gf is chinese born american and she has higher standards than I do. She has endorsed this campaign message. Do give them a try.

Reviewed By RamblinRoes
We've been enjoying Yangtze for years and look for any excuse for a take-out night to visit Anne and her lovely family. The food is fresh and delicious and the leftovers are just as good the next day! Because of business, we've been spending a lot of time in New York recently and still can't find a place to compete. We always look forward to coming home and speed dialing Yangtze. The Gen Tso, Singapore Noodle and Shrimp with Black Bean sauce are family favorites, but I doubt you can go wrong with any choice.

This restaurant is a favorite of my brother's, and we celebrated his birthday here in June. Our family had a private room, and my brother had already set up appetizers for us. The sushi & rolls were very fresh... and delicious! We each ordered our own entrees, and everyone was pleased. With so much food, many to-go boxes were taken. :) For my brother's birthday celebration, the server turned off the lights & presented a candle-lit small chocolate cheesecake surrounded by orange sections. There was another plate of orange sections to share, as well. In presentation, service, and freshness & quality of food, this restaurant deserves 5 stars.I've seen criticism of the location & aspects of the building, but I didn't find any of that notable. Parking, on the other hand, can be a pain... but I understand that's normal in that part of Media.
2. Da Shin Chinese Restaurant

Reviewed By bobf844
I've done one other review of this place, and I'm tempted to refer you to that, but it wouldn't be fair to Da Shin. They've made some changes since then; some subtle and some not. This has been our Chinese of choice for many many years, and with good reason. If you're a fan of typical commercial Chinese food; Sweet & Sour Chicken, Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, General Tsao's Chicken, etc. then you can have it here prepared in perhaps a little more elegant way. And if you're up for something different, you might want to try Uncle C.C.'s Rainbow Beef, or Crispy Shrimp with Candied Walnuts, or Mango Chicken. There's something for everybody. The ambiance is comfortable and inviting, and the help are always efficient, pleasant and in good humor. The place is in a strip center and quite unassuming. But there's a reason why I drive 20 or so miles by a half dozen other Chinese restaurants to come here. I won't even tell you about the soups here. Come and be adventurous and have the best Chinese meal ever. Now for the biggest surprise. It's very inexpensive. Lunch for two will cost you $15.
