What is the Best Chinese Restaurant in Evanston?

It can be argued that Chinese restaurants were some of the first eateries that challenged everyday Americans to begin sampling foreign, unfamiliar cuisines from places outside of Europe.

Today, it is easy to find a local restaurant serving food from India, Nepal, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, the Middle East and Ethiopia, but many of these establishments would likely never have been able to flourish had Americans not first opened their minds and palates to Chinese fare.
