This one's easy and straightforward: Szechuan Opera is probably the best Chinese restaurant in…read moreRochester, NY--and that's coming from someone who lived on the West Coast for years. The food has real, traditional spices and bold flavor. Nothing tastes watered down, and everything is seasoned the way you hope it'll be when you order Chinese food. Last time I got chicken fried rice, orange chicken, pan-fried dumplings, and crab rangoon. The fried rice was solid and well-seasoned, the orange chicken was crispy with a good sauce, the dumplings were nicely pan-seared, and the crab rangoon was fresh, crunchy, and hit the comfort-food spot. I've only done takeout, so I can't say much about the ambience, but it's centrally located with decent parking. Inside is traditionally decorated, and there's a giant golden throne in the lobby that's great for a quick picture. Service has always been speedy and friendly, orders come out fast, everything's packed well, and the staff is consistently nice.

This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Everything I had was delicious. Not sure why I waited…read moreso long on trying it. There's been a few times I was going to order here, but then backed out. I think when it comes to Chinese food, we tend to get attached to a favorite place, even if you know in your heart that the food doesn't quite hit like it once did. I'm glad I finally decided to pull the trigger. In the past, I would have put Tsingtao house in a category of more upscale, pricier, Chinese restaurant...but these days, even the hole in the walls are pricey! Truthfully, for what I ordered at Tsingtao, I thought the prices were a tremendous value, given the quality of the food is top tier! My recommendation is anything with garlic sauce! So freaking good!

Chen Garden is such a wonderful restaurant! My family and I went there this afternoon for lunch and…read morehad an amazing experience. It was dimly lit by design and had a really cool atmosphere. There were fairy lights, small lamps, and quiet instrumental music playing in the background. It sounded very similar to the soundtrack of Hyrule Field in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The food was tasty and very authentic! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about celiac disease and cross contamination. Everything on their menu is clearly marked if it's spicy and/or can be made gluten free, too! They have a big selection, and if my family's meals were anything to go by, everything is great. If I lived anywhere close to here, I would be a regular. Here are pictures of some (not all) of their menu pages.
