I liked Chinese Homestyle the best. I ate there quite a bit when I lived on Wood St, because I would walk right passed it everyday coming home from class.

I lived on Hyland (just up from Wood St) and this was why I'm a big CHC fan. Between the 7 guys who lived in our house there was rarely no CHC in the fridge.

I love leftover chinese food. Wake up in the morning, and go grab it straight outta the fridge and eat it cold. It's too good to waste time warming it up, once you take a bite you just gotta keep eating because its so good. :yes:

I cannot believe all you cavemen willingly eat CHC. I went there a few times, and it was like I'd plunged my face into a dumpster. Just horrible, atrocious food. Absolutely awful. I even went back once (or twice? don't remember) to give them another chance, since I love Chinese food so much. Nope; fail. I've never been back, never will be, and tell people not to go there.

Besides, Little Taipei is less than two blocks away. I've been eating there at least once a week for five years now, and that's where ALL the Chinese students go. That probably says something right there. I've been to China, and Little Taipei is tied as the best Chinese food I've had outside of China itself. (The other place is Seven Sisters in Chicago's Chinatown.)

Is that the place just west of the clock tower?

What's the name of the chinese place just west of family video on lincoln way? I've only been there a couple of times, but it was amazing.

Ate CHC tonight and it was awesome, and always is! Something is wrong with you.

Ah, that place does look good, but wasn't what I was thinking of.

You're not thinking of golden wok are you? Ordered golden wok delivery many a time at the end of a night of drinking.
