[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you from that you expect much better food/service?  I'm from CA, and I find that there isn't as much diverse ethnic foods here, especially really good Mexican.  I miss good Mexican food.[/quote]

Don't know where you are, but Alamo on Kenilworth Ave in Riverdale MD is pretty good.

Where the heck is the good CHINESE? [/quote]

Rockville, mainly. A&J in Annandale.
Almost all of the ethnic food is in the burbs.[/quote]

If you're willing to go to Montgomery County, there are a number of good restaurants.  For authentic good southern Chinese style, Tony Lin's ([url]http://www.tonylinsrestaurant.com/[/url]) is quite good.  I'm Chinese and we had a Chinese wedding banquet dinner as our rehearsal dinner there for our wedding.  Even my Chinese-born mother and my parents' Chinese friends liked the food there.  Years ago, my mother knew the then Chinese Consul at the Chinese Embassy in DC (she had gone to high school with him in Beijing).  When she was visiting me, we were invited to dinner and he took us to Tony Lin's.  That's how we found it and how we ended up with it for our rehearsal banquet.  We don't live in Montgomery County, but we still travel there occasionally to eat at Tony Lin's.

For good Dim Sum, you can go up to Gaithersburg to New Fortune which is the best Hong Kong style (carts) Dim Sum.  If you don't want to go that far, Hollywood East in the Wheaton Mall is a close second.  I know a number of American friends like Oriental East in Silver Spring, but my Asian friends prefer Hollywood East in Wheaton.[/quote]
