Update September 3, 2024:<\/strong><\/em>
\nHenan and Hubei food, with some Sichuan touches, might this be the best Peter Chang restaurant ever? I recommend the dried fried cauliflower, the beef jerky with cilantro, chicken chow mein, the farmer\u2019s special under the main dishes, the latter one here also being healthy. Pickled chili flounder fish most of all? Green beans. Farmer\u2019s chili pork? But there are so many other wonderful items, including the seasonal specials, which change regularly. Right now this is one of the very best meals around, and don\u2019t forget the meatballs! Go!<\/p>\n

Henan food, with some Sichuan touches, might this be the best Peter Chang restaurant ever? So far I’ve tried only about ten of the dishes. I recommend the fried chicken with red peppers, dried fried cauliflower, tofu with bean sprouts small dish, and the beef jerky with cilantro. I’m not saying those are the best, simply the best I’ve had so far, and at some point I may do a longer review. But those four dishes, taken alone, are right now the best meal in this whole area, at any price. Go!<\/p>\n
