Chinese restaurant?
Finally, a chance to answer a question (badly)
If you walk up Duarte, somewhere just north of Mella and close to the Barrio Chino arches, there's a couple places on different sides of the same intersection.
One of them has "sushi" in the name and appears to be a pricier pan-Asian kinda joint. I haven't been there so this isn't what I'm recommending (and I'm aware that sushi isn't Chinese) - it's just the one I remember how to describe.
Now, at the same intersection but across the street, there's a Chinese joint that's legit (except for the fact there are no chopsticks in the house). Really tasty and you can get lunch for about 250 a person.
MSG as f&*k though, but I guess everything here is.

It upstairs west side of duarte called the dragon. really good and chinese half a block down from mexico.
So we went to try out Bella Cristals last night. Sorry to say but I was a bit desapointed, didn't find the food all that great. We ordered eggrolls, Ja Cao, fried wonton, chow fan and Chow Mein. The search continues for a good Chinese resto....

there are 3 or 4 good chinese restaurants on the street,coming down duarte from mexico,the first intersection,they are on the left,which is one one,so you either park on duarte and walk there or go to Mella,go left,and left and left again...there is vale parking there also...the restaurant on the right,when you make your 3rd left,is my favorite...nice atmosphere and many items to choose f4rom...very clean and service is great....
I have to find the name of that street.....I am terrible on street names,even though I walk up that way almost every day....

I'm sorry you did not enjoy the food at Bella Cristal, I normally find their food pretty good. As the previous poster mentioned, another option is Chino de Mariscos on Sarasota.

Not to spin this question, but does anyone know of a Chinese restaraunt that serves more than just just gwai-low Chinese food? And smiliarly, is there one that does a good Dim Sum menu?
In my neverending quest to find a decent chinese restaurant in S.D., I tried Chinese de Mariscos on Sarasota a few years ago and had one of the worst meals ive ever had in this country.
Also, unless im confused, the restaurant right in front of Pricesmart is a seafood restaurant (one of the best restaurants in S.D. btw).
The Chinese restaurants locate in China town in Benito Gonzalez between duart and jose marti. the small street fill with chinese restaurants and store. you have to ask chinese menu otherwise you will be supplied with fried rice kind of dominican menu. you can buy cheapest beer in whole island in the store.
