| - Coming from the bay area, home to numerous sources of amazing Chinese food (even amazing pan-Asian buffet food, which is almost an oxymoron), I don't expect to be finding much in the way of Chinese food where there are relatively few Chinese. When you're this far from home, the taste buds develop their sea legs, and you start to be able to nod intelligently when people argue about the best ways to cook a pig. But for a taste of home, the heart wants what it wants. Lucky us, a local fan recommended Tin Tin.
We came, we saw, we ate. Some things rocked, like the kid-approved gyoza-like potstickers, black bean spareribs, and the custom-made noodle soups. I loved the Chinese-style fried chicken, reminiscent of many a Chinatown quick eat. Some things were not so great, like the oversteamed dim sum, soggy salad bar, and tired dessert counter. But it was a great spread and value. Kids under 10 eat at such an amazing price, too. I'll be back.
