So I was getting my hair cut at David Barron's by my favorite stylist ever, she told me about this really fun weekend she had with her friend that ended with the ""best chinese in the city."" I didn't even know that my favorite chinese food place was known Georgia wide as the best chinese and she looked at me like I was so out of the loop.\r
\r
My dad and I LOVE Grand China and go there pretty regularly, more than any other place we've been. \r
\r
One warning - they like their chili peppers and if you aren't big on heat order everything mild. If you are a wimp like me, ask for no peppers.\r
\r
A few of my favorite things:\r
\r
-Dry Fried Wings. These are seriously the most amazing thing on the menu, they are know bay area-wide for a reason. Get them. It is amazing how many orders you see coming out of that kitchen!\r
\r
-Mongolian beef. A lot of places have that super thinly sliced kind of dry beef, this is moist and delicious, but definitely heavy on the peppers, just saying. My dad generally judges a place by their mongolian beef, they passed :)\r
\r
-Chicken Chow Mein. Lots of chicken and fresh veggies, absolutely delicious!\r
\r
-Pot Stickers. Really yummy.\r
\r
Also, we get all of this for about $40 and usually order to go. Plan on getting a pretty good amount of food, we usually have left overs, another bonus.\r
\r
If you plan to go there and eat any time, be prepared to wait. If you order to go, plan to push through the crowd of people that are waiting!\r
\r
Either way, go get some Grand China!
