RENTON. Renton may be a bit of drive from the heart of the Seattle area, but if you find yourself deep in the south metro with a craving for Chinese, this treasure earns high marks for its friendly service, affordable prices, and excellent Cantonese cuisine. Featured main dishes include duck tongue with assorted vegetables, deep-fried pigeon in spice sauce, shredded roast duck with jellyfish, and stir-fried beef with lychee. Rumor has it that their dim sum lunch special is one of the best deals in the Sound region.

BELLEVUE. For diners seeking traditional Chinese cuisine, Hunan Garden is a crowd-pleasing option. An old-fashioned setting and friendly service enhance your experience as you sample dishes like stir-fried chicken with mango or a vegetarian Buddha's Delight. The lunch special is an excellent value and comes with appetizer, soup, fried rice, hot tea, and a fortune cookie.

Noted for serving some of the best lunchtime dim sum east of the International District, Noble Court is a godsend when it comes to lunch options in Bellevue. The neon-heavy decor in no way anticipates the quality of the Cantonese-heavy menu. Featured dishes range from sautéed Szechuan-style prawns to General Tso's chicken, orange sesame beef, seafood hot pots, stir-fried clams and black beans, and steamed salmon filet. Wednesdays through Saturdays, Noble Court features live entertainment.

BELLEVUE. This fashionable Chinese bistro gets high marks with Seattle's trendier diners, who adore the contemporary interior and eclectic menu. Start with do-it-yourself lettuce wraps – these alone are worth the trip. Afterwards, go any route you like, from Szechwan to Hunan, Cantonese to Shanghai. Chang's daily specials are always worth considering – keep your fingers crossed that they include Szechwan shrimp or pan-fried noodles.

Surprising flavor combinations and innovative dishes break the mold of traditional Chinese eats at Shanghai Cafe, making it a welcome departure from the norm. The restaurant's strip-mall facade and casual decor belie the food's quality and presentation. Try an appetizer of chili-spiked cucumber or the "vegetarian goose," which pairs shiitake mushrooms and tofu. Enticing entrees include sautéed sugar peas, a cilantro-tinged dish that combines chicken and jellyfish, and the house specialty: addictive, hand-shaved barleygreen noodles with your choice of meat.

BELLEVUE. Admittedly, picking one or two top-notch restaurants from the many located throughout Seattle can be a daunting task. Top Gun, though, makes at least one of the choices a no-brainer – its famously tasty dim sum and traditional Chinese fare attract a large number of fans every day, especially at lunch. White linens and friendly service are added perks. Best of all, prices won't send you running to the bank for a loan.
