We are still shaken by the closing of Jade King last week.  As I'm sure you're well aware of now, but after 45 years, Jade King suddenly closed their doors, leaving the neighborhood in a lurch.  There are fewer and fewer old-school Chinese restaurants around.  White tablecloths are being hung up for good.  It's sad.  While Jade King wasn't our favorite Chinese restaurant, by far, it's still a shame.  Years ago, we lost Hoi Ming, and now this.

It’s an almost universal experience. You step through the doors of a Chinese restaurant, the aroma of soy sauce and sizzling ginger hanging in the air, and there it is: the magnificent, glowing fish tank. More than just decor, these aquariums are vibrant focal points, a source of fascination for children, and, perhaps most importantly, a centuries-old cultural statement. But among the thousands of tanks across the country, which ones truly stand out? We dive into the quest for the best. Questing. It's what we do best!

With a short list of sit-down "authentic" Chinese restaurants to choose from in Columbus, OH, one really caught my eye. Ding Ho. Cantonese cuisine in a very very old-school Chinese restaurant.

Orient Garden, the sister restaurant of The Orient in Bethpage, and Orient Odyssey in Syosset recently opened on the site of the Park City Diner. It was kind of empty the night we ate there.

Ocean Seafood Chinese Restaurant was one of the very few Chinese restaurants that we found in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. For better or worse, sweet or sour, we dined there. Which was it?
