Where is the best Chinese food in Houston?

I enjoy Chinatown but not Panda's, PF Changs and chains. The good places seem to be independent. Any ideas?

My favorite Chinese restuatant is Yao's on Gessner at the SW corner of Westheimer. It was voted the number one chinese restaurant in Houston by CitySearch.com and The Houston Press.

It has an elegant, relaxed interior with private rooms seating 4 to 20 peple. The food is great, albeit not as authentic as you are used to. It's more Chinese-American, but still very delicious and very fresh. Lunch specials run until 4:00 PM---even on Sunday and start at $8.95. It is a very reasonably priced restaurant. Here's the link:

I enjoy Hins Garden at Richmond/610
(just inside the loop next to Bayou City and Luling)
They have a great lunch menu and it's very inexpensive.

I don't think they have a website.

the roasted duck is the best - and most authentic - in houston. also very fairly priced and a unique environment. take your lunch for a picnic.
