Well, it would help to know what part of town you'll be in and what variety of Chinese you like, but you can't go wrong with Szechwan East 312/255-9200 340 E. Ohio St. Chicago, IL 60611 Chef Xiao-Jun Hu is a relatively recent immigrant from mainland China, brought over by the genial owner, Alfred Hsu. The food is not always authentic, but it's always very good. Leah Zeldes posted and e-mailed

I live very close to this place and tried it very quickly when I got here, and I was just as quickly disappointed. I have tried many Chinese places besides this, including all the recommended ones, & have been continually disappointed. Maybe this is because I lived in NYC, a place that actually has excellent Chinese food, and I've been able to tell the difference due to my perspective!

This place has got to be the best chinese restaurant in the Midwest. Nothing in Chicago can compare to it. I've lived in Chicago for 10 years and have not found any place even remotely close to the quality of the food there. Of course the drive is about 2.5 hours from Chicago but heck, they have some nice bed and breakfast places there. Chris D. wrote: > I have to agree with Michael. I live in the same building at SE.
