Pine Yard in Evanston

If your looking for "quantity" of Asian restaurants - as well as "quality" - come on up to Highland Park:  8 Asian restaurants at my last count in the city, not including PF Chang's or one or two in Highwood.

And many of them really are terrific:  Little Szechuan, Windows, Yummy Bowl / Thai Image, Maru.

Amazing in general, tho, how few straight Cantonese restaurants there are anywhere:  most of the Chinese restaurants are of the other regions, unlike fifteen or even ten years ago.
