Good Chinese Restaurant?

Here's my rather biased view of a few Chinese restaurant's in north Austin that I have visited:

1. P.F. Changs (upscale & kinda expensive for a Chinese joint, but the food is excellent - I recommend the orange peel shrimp)

2. Suzies (average setting, but the food is pretty good -- the jalapeno chicken & sesame chicken are especially good)

3. Chinatown (has a decent view & the food is pretty good)

4. Tien Hong (the truck stop of chinese places -- the food is only C+, and the service is C-, IMHO only)

Have your ever tried SeaDragon Vietnamese Seafood Restaurant? I think SeaDragon is better than any of the Restaurant that you mentioned in a few ways: (1). The price is reasonable. (2). Casual and friendly atmosphere. (3). Serving the best Seafood menu in Austin( I mean fresh):
          (a). Steam Tilapia.
          (b). Lobster in Peppercorn sauce or suace of your choice.
          (c). Basil Clam.
          (d). Blue Crab in the sauce of your choice.
           (e). Mixed seafood in Hot& sour soup.

Their menu have plenty of selection beside the specialties above. Why don't your give it a try and visit SeaDragon at 8776B Research Blvd, Austin.

      I know we have been on this topic several times,
      but for great Chinese-American cuisine, I still
      like Wan-Fu on Oltorf above all others.  Their
      garlic chicken is very happening.
