If you had to choose one, which would it be?

Lloyd

For brunch, Lord Jim's is incredible!

Actually not for brunch...for dinner

Personally, I'd choose the China House for its out of this world Peking Duck.

you would not be disappointed with either....the view from lord jim's is fantastic out over the river...china house is also pleasant inside but no view...

china house is real asia....lord jim is more international...

how about this compromise...china house for dinner and the wonderful buffet at lord jim for lunch (about $27 each)---which is fantastic...

as a restaurant person you really should experience both...and tongue thai also for excellent moderate priced food...chicken cashew is my favorite!!

The China House for dinner if you like Peking Duck will be memorable. I would share 1 soup and without wine the tap will be $65+/-including service. A great evening.
