Locals swear this is the best Chinese food in the city - and the line out the front door every night supports that.
Although some local restaurant critics have said the quality may be going downhill, Mission Chinese is still incredibly popular and offers one of the more interesting Asian menus in the whole city.

If you're willing to wait for a table and fight some crowds for your dinner, Mission Chinese is worth checking out.
