Sometimes, the cure for the winter blues is simply some crab rangoon and chicken fried rice — or is that just us?
We were on a quest to find the top Chinese restaurants in the city, so we asked our readers to share their local favorites. These are the 20 fortunes they shared:
Lucky House, 56 E. Schrock Rd.
“I usually get egg rolls, crab rangoon, and for the main entrée Cashew Delight. So good!” said reader Rayne S.
Eastern Palace Restaurant, 6078 E. Livingston Ave.
“I personally believe the best and authentic Chinese is Eastern Palace on Brice Road closet cross street is Livingston. Eggrolls are homemade and fantastic,” shared reader Sue.
