best chinese food?
My choice is Expreso Jade, tastes most like good, cheap chinese joints from the states, but that's me, and they are all over the city. Also WOK restaurant, think there are at least two, one on Betancourt near Ave. Nunez, a little more upscale - quite good and fresh last time I was there. Lastly, is a place called Chino Lee also on Betacourt, near Privada, the wife's personal fav.
Very good wonton soup, egg rolls, sliced roast pork, shrimp with vegetables. I try to eat there at least once every 2 weeks or so. They make for me: sliced roast pork sweet and sour, since I do not like the fried pork that is usually used. They even fry me up some thin noodles to add to my soup.
There is a place in China Twn on Duarte between Av Mexico and almost to the corner of Benito Gonzalez on the left side going down and right next to a jewelry store, the place is called Meg Ui I think they have very good chinese food as well as sushies. Clean place too.
Best chinese/taiwanese in capital
Best Chinese: Chinese restaurant in Av. Benito Gonzales between Av. Duarte and Jose Marti(Barrio Chino). I don't remember the name, but it is opposite the two Chinese supermarkets, next to the Chinese bakery.
Best Taiwanese: Jardin Jasmin, Avda. Romulo Betancourt 1310 (near Churchill). Cheap, good juices (as all Taiwanese restaurants), mainly vegetarian, nice garden terrace.

I love Bella Cristal highly recommend trying the corn/chicken cream... DELISH!!
JuanDolioLiving - Mei-gui is owned by Rosa NG (she's the person who has most fought for re-vamping the China Town area) it is VERY GOOD! I love it there.
There's also another chinese restaurant around China Town, it's in a second story... dragon something, it's been there for ages and it's very good and like all good chinese restaurants not expensive and very generous servings.

Could not agree more with you on Expresso Jade. I prefer Chino De Mariscos on Sarasota though.
Huh?
Reheated? Super greasy?
In the many times I've eaten there I saw them prepare my food pretty much in front of me. Just stand there and watch!
While not "gourmet" Expresso Jade delivers a solid product, quickly and at an acceptable price. Not a buffet.
Obviously, opinions vary...
I have been using the dragon for nearly nine years (as i lived in walking distance) never had a bad meal,tax is high when sitting in.The others in the area are all ok as long as you order fresh,not the food on display,except the chofan ! always good.
Teriyaki Jade in most of the major malls and shopping centers is actually very good. They don't offer an extensive chinese menu but what they do serve is made to order and use fresh ingridents. Defintely above and beyond expresso Jade. There is also a new chinese place that opened in the Americana Plaza on Kennedy right next to the Office Max. Went once and enjoyed the place as well as the food....try the chinese ribs!
