Cathay House

Cathay House Review

Set in a strip mall of popular Asian eateries and businesses, Cathay House combines the feel of a mom-and-pop operation with a sophisticated, if rather bright, atmosphere and a menu of varied traditional Chinese favorites. The emphasis here is on the fiery flavors of Szechuan and Hunan, but it's also one of the best places in town for dim sum (served daily until 10 pm), as well as Imperial Peking duck dinner. Among other local favorites are items such as squid with black bean sauce, honey-glazed barbecue ribs, and strawberry chicken.

While it's always a little dicey to try chinese restaurants, (especially if you aren't familiar with the many dishes) Cathay House give the novice great opportunity to try dim sum. This is great as each dish is usually only a couple of dollars each, and carts come by frequently with different delicacies for sale. Very flavorful and as good of chinese food as anything I've tried outside San Francisco or Vancouver.
