Not being a huge fan of Chinese cuisine (which Mrs. Metro refuses to eat) I was surprised to see two places I have eaten - and enjoyed very much - on the list: Peking Gourmet Inn, Falls Church, VA and First Chinese BBQ, their Plano, TX location.
As Mrs. Metro is presently overseas visiting her parents, I think First Chinese BBQ sounds good for lunch. Thanks for the list!

I have been to First Chinese BBQ - I think that very location with twinwillow. It is excellent - and, most assuredly, authentic.

That's OK. We'll do better on the 50 Best Lutefisk Restaurants list.

First one on the list is in Chandler (southern Phoenix) AZ on Dobson. I've never been to that one but Dobson Avenue extending north has very excellent Asian restaurants. My favorite Chinese places on Dobson are ACE (Asian Cafe Express) and Best Hong Kong. There are more too, and very good Viet places too, and an excellent Korean place too. The Phoenix area has excellent Asian restaurants, but as far as I know Tucson only has one good Chinese restaurant and one good Viet restaurant.

That Section of the Valley has a large Asian population and quite a few excellent Asian places as you mentioned. Another one is C Fu Gourmet. http://www.cfugourmet.com/Dining.html

Is C-Fu still popular? I haven't been there in years. I remember getting stir fried ostrich there...and I see it's still on the menu! As I recall it tasted like beef.

Far as I know it's still popular. Haven't been there in a little while. I think it changed hands recently and now also has entertainment. Used to be just Traditional Upscale Chinese. Many Chinese couples have their Wedding receptions there.

You're always welcome to join us when you're in Dallas. It would be nice to see you again.
