Chou's offers the best Chinese food in Arizona, hands down.
Granted, that sounds like a back-handed compliment such as "the tallest building in Fresno" or "the best song by Nickleback," but the food is truly outstanding. The Phoenix area now offers several good Asian eateries and Chou's is at the top of the pack.
On our first visit, we had the potstickers, Kung Pao Chicken and Green Beans with Pork. Holy [fill in the blank] were they amazing. The owners were great too, offering great conversation, advice and lightning-fast service.
Most Chinese food in town is really lousy. A few restaurants are acceptable in a pinch. But I would be proud to bring guests from any city to Chou's and they would love every bite.
