  - i've lately found manhattan chinatown to be fairly hit or miss. i think there's generally better chinese food in brooklyn + queens, overall... - x Feb 25, 08:29 8
    - Queens is underrated for food in general (but that makes it cheaper). -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:30 7
      - the golden mall there is totally amazing for chinese food....nm - x Feb 25, 08:34 6
        
        I will have to try it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:38 2
        
        see below!...nm - x Feb 25, 08:41 1
        
        when you're next in the DC area, you need to go to Eden Center in Falls Church VA. I'm sure tehre's a foodie guide to the place. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:56
        
        is that in Flushing? -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 08:37 2
        
        yeah. if you ever go, serious eats has a great guide.... - x Feb 25, 08:41 1
        
        oh, cool! -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:49
  - I'm unlcear about something. In the middle of Chinatown, the only restaurant that was crowded was Genreral Tso's (which I understand is a chain)? -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 08:25 10

      - This whole time STers have been posting about "General Tso's chicken," I thought that was a chain restaurant we don't have here - con_carne Feb 25, 08:31 3
        
        General Tso, you were a ruthless tyrant, but your chicken is delectable. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:38
        
        you've got the san gabriel valley, you don't really need anything else.....nm - x Feb 25, 08:36 1
        
        Jeebus, the Asian community in SGV is overwhelming. - con_carne Feb 25, 08:40
      - I was about to ask which restaurant - znufrii Feb 25, 08:28 3

        those are OK there. i didn't love the rest of the food i had when i went there a few years back, though....nm - x Feb 25, 08:31 1
        
        yeah the rest of what we had was nothing special, this was a few years ago for me as well. - znufrii Feb 25, 08:33
    - you're so pretty -- nm - oblique Feb 25, 08:26
