I can vouch for the Beach Street location.

FYI... Your description of "Chinese Food" is the Americanized version.... Taste of Asia fits that bill very nicely.

If I wanted "real" Chinese food near FTW, I'd go to the Chinese BBQ restaurant that shares the strip center with the Vietnamese Grocery in the 5300 block of Belknap at Midway.... Grocery name is Nguyen Loi (hard to miss the big building), restaurant name is Chinese BBQ or possibly First Chinese BBQ, located in the strip building to the left of the Nguyen Loi supermarket. You will not find any General Tso's Chicken at this place, but the Rosted Duck is great.

I would never have thought to go looking for Chinese food in these two places.
Shinjuku is one of the busiest train stations I've ever been in, in Tokyo.

Don't judge a restaurant by it's name, I suppose.

Mr Wok, on East 14th in Plano.

I have read that this station is the busiest in the world [in 2007 it had 3.64 million passengers per day]. I have a photo that I took one afternoon of the wave of people exiting onto the street.

Had lunch there recently, definitely a good place. Clean, good food, reasonable prices

That's always a good sign.

I also like the Chinese style BBQ pork!

What's the name of the place? We drove about an hour in California, after I changed duty stations, to get to that one restaurant...
