The best Chinese in Charlotte is actually in Pineville. Wan fu is that place. There is a reason it has been around for so many years. It stays busy as well. Szechuan wontons are perfectly balanced, sweet spicy peanut sauce. The sweet and sour chicken is very good as is the general Tao chicken. Garlic chicken/shrimp and the firecracker shrimp are some other favorites. We frequent here as much as possible. It is a few dollars more than your strip mall Chinese restaurant, but well worth it. The lunch specials are good deals, they come with a spring roll and are significantly cheaper than the dinner prices. These specials are available on weekends as well. The spring rolls are the best I've found in Charlotte.
