Hi! Thanks for the “real chinese food” guide. I’m glad you’ve included Asian Taste and China House. I would also include Asian Kitchen on 2828 Stelzer Rd, Columbus, OH 43219. Both Asian Taste & Asian Kitchen are related to each other on my mother’s side. China House started on my father’s side of the family, but has moved down the line to my aunt’s in-laws. 🙂

Main Moon near Linworth and 161 is another spot that has been Sichuan-ified by Kevin.
We have been enjoying Xin Wei on Henderson. We need to make a few updates! On the to do list for January.
Xin Wei is the restaurant I was asking about earlier in the year. I recognize the menu design from when someone showed it to me on their phone. Has anyone translated the menu yet?
Xin Wei now have a translated version of their Chinese menu.
They gave me a copy. Thank you! I thought it only right to share here which saves on printing costs or them running out.
