Dallas' Five Best Chinese Restaurants

Xiao long bao dumplings are like little tiny presents that explode in your mouth. And hand pulled noodles beat those prepared versions that often end up in a clump like a tennis ball in the bottom of your bowl. You guys liked Royal China too, awarding the Preston Royal spat a Readers Choice award this year. I'm starting my binge here.

Howard Wang's China Grill
Howard Wang's, on Northwest Highway at Midway Road, boasts a clean modern space not unlike Royal China. (It opened in 2005.) The restaurant was successful enough to warrant a second, fancier location in Uptown.

Maxim's 
Dim sum people -- cart after cart after cart after cart of greasy delicious food, one small bite at a time. In 2007 we ordained Maxim's the best place to eat till you explode. The end of the world is coming, haven't you heard? You might as well go out with a bang.
*****
Caravelle Chinese and Vietnamese Perfect for when you have a large group of picky eaters or you want pho to go with your sesame chicken. Caravelle is also located in a strip mall with 700 other Asian restaurants and a grocery store. Pick up some fresh lychees for the ride home.

First Chinese
They may not have really been first, but they'll stake the claim anyway. Serving up the juiciest slabs of roast pork, fattiest slices of duck and tastiest Cantonese comfort food locally for 23 years earned First Chinese Observer's Best this year.
