Honey Walnut Shrimp. Pot Stickers. Shrimp toast. Cold Sesame Noodles. Hot and Sour Soup. Those triangular dumplings with pork and peanuts. BBQ pork buns. Custard buns. Ok, Buns of any sort. Oh hell I even love Egg Foo Yung.

How is it Somms? I've eaten at a LOT of Chinese restaurants ina lot of diverse places and I've never HEARD of any of the 700 or so restaurants named. I know the Village Voice crowd went ballistic over the NYC places picked.

The food, and their specialty cocktails, are excellent, Joe. The same family owns another place, Little Dragon, one town over. Concerto Fusion is their upscale take on Chinese/Asian food.

That menu is great- but I must confess I have enough trouble picking a reasonable number of items at a chinese restaurant with making me drool over Sushi or Tom Kha soup, also.

The nine dollar lunch specials are amazing.

PF Chang's is very inconsistent. Sometimes it's very good but the last time I went to the one in Albany, NY, my lo mein tasted like plastic.

I'm addicted to this place in Chinatown where you get five items for $4.50. I go there everytime I'm in NYC...

That Concerto Fusion menu does look good! And I was surprised at how reasonable the prices were.

The "Top 100" list is very weird. There is no overlap from year to year -- next year's list will probably be a completely different set of 100 restaurants. And there are some obvious restaurants missing from the list. Given that it is coming from a trade group, I'm wondering if the restaurants are paying to be considered and it's basically a promotional tool for the restaurants who are participating that year.

The number one restaurant on that list, Yang Ming, is awesome. The ppl that own it own a bunch of restaurants around Philly and they are all outstanding.

Candied walnut chicken and steamed dumplings.....mmmmmmmm.

I just drooled on my keyboard.

...I officially hate this thread.

I went to the gym today--went to spin class... and then decided General Tso's tofu was what I would be having for dinner. I am in pain from eating so much... oy.

My favorite is Shrimp in Garlic sauce (ordered extra-spicy), Won-Ton soup, Eggrolls amd a side of Chicken-Fried Rice.
