Our best one closed some time ago so the owners could concentrate on the New
York City style China Star (order at the counter and eat-in or take-away)
place. The second best fell to the ICE raids - as did a number of others as
well as some Mexican places. We've only one really bad one - Hunan Express. I'd
not eat there if there was a convenient dumpster to scavenge for food within
walking/driving distance.
