yeah...that place closed 2 years ago. They had the best juice bar.... and the fast food place got even better when another fast food place moved in. The place has been turned into condos now.

Gentrification has taken it's toll on Chinatown. However, there still plenty of great places to eat. East Ocean City for seafood. Chau Chow City for Dim Sum.

This is the right answer. I wouldn't mind yups so much if they weren't all so fucking boring.

Years ago, I occationally ate in a greasy-spoon restaurant in Boston's Chinatown. Don't remember the name of the place, but it was on Oxford Street. When the Big Dig commenced, I avoided the downtown area whenever I could. The last time I was in the area, I couldn't even find Chinatown - I got lost!

Chinatown in NYC is great...$5 easy for a full, good quality meal. Mmm...

I just wish my college town (State College PA) had a decent Chinese restaurant. I went to what was supposedly the best one, and it was mediocre at best :(.

Moon Villa used to be the best, but that was years ago. Recent reviews aren't exactly stellar.
