This Chinese restaurant was name best Chinese food by Zagat a few times. It's classically good. It's not the Chinatown-food, but it's also not the takeout-food. It's a decent sit down dinner where everything is served family-style. The prawns are good. Since it's on the east side, it's a bit difficult if you don't live around the area. But you should check this out when you can.
