The best General Tao chicken in the city... and seriously I know, my roommate and I have had an ongoing feud over this for years.
Taste of China vs. Swatow (across the street).
Now I will give Swatow credit for delicious wanton soup BUT Taste of China rules in the General Tao department, theirs is crispy, spicy and a little sweet and doesn't taste like it's cooked in OJ concentrate - burn Swatow*
Taste of China is also superior in ambiance. Years ago this place was a dive but it's obvious that it was recently redone and is now clean and well cared for. The service is always friendly and helpful, they deliver AND they're open until 4 in the morning on weekends.
