Hey, Julie and Anne I’ll go to lunch too. I’m open to trying someplace other than Chan’s Asian Wok, aka “cheap Chinese.”

Yat Ka Mein is probably my favorite all-around Chinese (love those Dan Dan Noodles!)

King Wok serves my favorite Dim Sum (granted, there are few area dim sum outlets). They offer two menus, btw: An Americanized version and a Chinese version. Caucasians typically get the former.

Yet another “1st Wok,” this one in Forest Park (next to the BMV), serves my favorite Ma Po Tofu.

I’ve always been curious about The China Gourmet but we’re uncomfortable dining at “upscale” restaurants.

Thanks for the review. I had Dim Sum once in Cincinnati up in Mason Montgomery area years ago and it was great. Not even sure if the place is still there. It was in some shopping plaza and they pushed carts around with little dishes on them through out the room. For a long time I though that’s what Dim Sum was! As far as the pork dumplings, I have step-kids who are half Chinese and look forward to the holidays in their grandparents home. I sure hope they bring me some this year or I may just have to show up!

We go there as a family on a regular basis for the dim sum. Can’t speak for any of the regular menu items, but the dim sum is as authentic as I’ll ever know. Any time you get shrimp with the head on, you know it’s the real deal. Try the rock salt shrimp. Not sure it’s actually on the menu, but ask for it. You won’t be disappointed.

Oh, where do I start…I’m Cantonese, by the way.
Uncle Yip’s has the best Chinatown style Cantonese food in town. Must, must try the lobster with ginger and green onion. Their weekend dimsum is good, too. It’s my family’s “hangout”.
Grand Oriental in Mason has pretty good dimsum, too. There is a real Chinese menu for dinner, too, but not as exciting as Uncle Yip’s seafood selection.
For a quick, simple Chinese meal, Yat Ka Mein in Hyde Park next to Aveda is authentic and delicious. They have the BEST Hong Kong style wonton noodle soup in town.
Sichuan Bistro is very authentic and very spicy.
King Wok in Clifton is great, too. The owners are from Malaysia, if you ask, you can get some dishes cooked Malaysian style.
China Gourmet, Oriental Wok and PF Chang are all geared toward the American taste.
And Loki:
China Kitchen on Ludlow has a real Chinese menu under the glass on their tables. The Salted Duck is great. And their prices are very reasonable.
The best and only Vietnamese in Cincinnati is in Roselawn at Song Long. But the better Vietnamese restaurant is in Louisville. There are at least 4 that I know of.
