My search for a good Chinese restaurant has ended with the Best Chinese restaurant. I was very excited to see the place almost packed with Asians; that is a good sign. We immediately ordered the beef pies and the pork & Napa cabbage dumplings. You know these are made fresh because you can see them making them through a glass window and they don't arrive at the table right away like at other places. The beef is lightly seasoned and is great when you add the vinegar or hot sauce on the table.
The kung pao and mongolian beef dishes were excellent. Fresh vegetables and stir fried tender beef and chicken are the stars. They are not drowning in sickly, sweet sauces like you would find at other Chinese restaurants. I also liked the chicken and mushrooms, mainly for the broth, but this wasn't my favorite, maybe because it was all brown and you have to fuss with the small chicken bones.
Overall, very nice. Finally, I can agree with the Best of Phoenix, and Travel & Leisure was spot on with their assessment.
