We have THREE now in the neighborhood. Before, we had to go to Chinatown. I think the menus are slightly different in our part of town than Chinatown, but I'm not complaining.
We still have to go to Chinatown for soup dumplings, though.

I have eaten a lot of Chinese food in a lot of places. SF first, and NYC second, have been heads and shoulders above every other city (I haven't tried Houston) in the U.S. (and both miles ahead of DC, Boston, Chicago, LA, etc.) But an interesting thing in the Boston area these days is that the Chinese food may be better in the Burbs than in Chinatown - Chinatown is filled with homestyle Cantonese places opened fifty years and two generations ago, while there are three or four little clusters in the Burbs that have the Chinese places opened by recent immigrants with more ambitious culinary goals.
