Edgemont City

Edgemont City - is an authentic staple for Chinese cuisine in the NW suburbs. Based on observation alone - this restaurant is packed EVERY night of the week (with predominantly Asian folken), is popular for banquets (10 course traditional meals) and has plenty of regulars! CRAVING GREENS??? We ordered a HEAPING plate of the "dummgoo dao miu" (snow pea leaves with enoki mushrooms - $15).

My personal favourite is the beef short rib hotpot with eggplant (#92. $12.95). The short ribs were large, meaty and tender and the eggplant the perfect texture - not mushy but absorbent of the tasty thick oyster sauce.

At 4:30pm on a Wednesday, the service was great! Our food was ready in a speedy 20min, and the server helped us with pronunciation of the dishes...

Takeout RUN to Dave's

My husband and I were in the need of some mid-week take-out last night....trolling through Urbanspoon we sided with the establishment with the best name. Fortunately for us we sided with "Wok with Dave". Prices are extremely reasonable with additional discounts for cash on pick up - making take-out that much easier to justify!
Dave seems like a nice guy and the food was in large portions and pretty good. My favourite was the Cantonese Chow Mein that included a bit of everything: chicken, pork, shrimp, veggies and egg noodles! Also it was nice having a date night where we managed to get through an ENTIRE MOVIE without falling into the usual take-out food coma (though be sure to request no MSG)! Thanks Dave for making my husband/movie/midweek bonding time that much more special... :) Check out their menu here.
