Chinese

by Chris Sunami



Highly awarded Hong Kong chef Frank Louie and his equally accomplished wife Helena continue to cook Columbus' best Chinese food at Sun Tong Luck, a gourmet's delight cleverly disguised as a typical hole-in-the-wall. The menu, prices and decor here are similar to every cheap Chinese joint in town, but the food is heavenly. Produced entirely without MSG and saturated fats, the STL menu is the best value for money in the city.

Sun Tong Luck Asian Cuisine (Carriage Place)
(614) 442-3375
2500 Bethel Rd
Columbus, OH 43220

Those of you who remember the old Joy's Village on campus may do so with a queasy feeling in your stomach. But under the new owners, JV has transformed into an all-hours vendor of tasty and surprisingly authentic Asian specialties.
Make sure you check out their large Dim Sum menu, complete with many unusual offerings.

Joy's Village (Campus, under Buckeye Books)
(614)297-7723
2060 N High St
Columbus, OH 43201

If you want the authentic big-city Dim Sum experience with the carts, try Fortune Chinese, in the Ackerman Plaza:

2869 Olentangy River Rd
Columbus, Ohio 43202

I still miss their old chef, but the Fifth Avenue Peking Dynasty remains one of the best places to find ultra-authentic Chinese food in Columbus on a budget.
Make sure you ask for the "Chinese" menu if you want to get away from standard Americanized fare.

Peking Dynasty
1773 W 5th Ave
Columbus, OH 43212
(614) 488-8128
