Sliced chicken piled over iceberg and carrot with peanuts and fried wonton strips. Crisp and well balanced, and the portion is built for sharing.

Crispy shredded fried chicken with lettuce, cilantro and carrot under a sweet house dressing, finished with sesame and peanuts. Tender chicken at a fair price.

Shredded fried chicken, iceberg and rice vermicelli in a sharp hot-mustard dressing, with almonds and cashews for crunch. The plate is large enough to share.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
