Oh nomnomnom I've finally found really, really good Chinese food in Phoenix! \nI admit to both a. never realizing this place was even here and b. likely not having gone in when on a Friday evening there were only 3 cars in the lot outside. But a New Times article recommended it so we donned our intrepid explorer hats and went in. So glad we did! \n\nFirst, there are two menus- one most Americans are probably used to, and another that's more traditional Chinese. Go for the latter and try some of the more popular dishes that are labeled \"recommended\". The wings are so crispy and tasty- wings!- and the West Lake soup was a good choice on a cooler evening. We also had a pan fried noodle dish of beef and tomatoes, which was pretty perfect. \n\nThey even have a few items you have to call a day in advance to order- a neighboring table had a large soup served in a gourd called Winter Melon Soup that looked and smelled divine. \n\nDon't miss this place. Look for the vintage neon sign on the NWC of Indian School & 24th Street.
