Asian food is underrepresented in this fair city, especially Chinese food. There are few…read morerestaurants in this category that are worthy of any distinction, like in many cities where Chinese delicacies proliferate with but a few being truly remarkable; and while this might be the case with Fa-Yian, I will rely on sentiment and bias for this 4-star review. Life as a culinary explorer begins at a young age, and it is here where standards and reference points are established. This Chinese restaurant, with its shouty and ever-present owners, became my reference point for Chinese food and culture isngeneral. It is here where I met the Buddha, the red Chinese lamps, pastel tablecloths, and lazy susans that I thought were unique to this place but are actually commonplace for most Chinese places in Mexico and the US. Through this innocent wonder I recorded the taste of Chow Mein, fried and steamed rice, beef broccoli, fried shrimp and egg rolls, sweet and sour sauce, noodle soup, and the glorious orange chicken. Chinese food became an exotic adventure that could only be found here. Many years later, on our most recent visit, the food seems ordinary with no extravagance to it. The orange chicken and fried foods are still good and salty and sweet, but it no longer offers that amazement that I experienced in my youth. Still, Fa-Yian holds a special holds a special place in my heart, one whose food might not compare to places we've been to in LA, NY, or even Beijing, but is still a standard to which I will compare all others.

My first time to the Oriental Grill in Queretaro. The ambiance is smooth and very nice with…read moremodern music, clean, and some youth couples and small groups. I recommend it for visitors in the nearby hotels, like the Hampton. We walked and it was safe. Had the wonton soup and it was served hot and contained about 7 meaty wontons and lots of spinach. Served mild so of course I had to add heat to bring it up to Texas standards. My main course was Kung Pow Shrimp and it was served without rice, so we ordered a bowl of white rice but they offer 4 types of Fried Rice too. The sauce of the Kung Pow was mild and almost chocolaty a tiny bit. And we had to add heat to it, even though I requested it spicy. We asked for Sriacha sauce but I guess it hasn't made it to Qto. All in all, for 2 people, a good meal for $40 with wine beer and tip.

My favorite dish is the pineapple chicken, which has unbelievable amount of mixed flavors. The chicken is served in a fresh cut pineapple. Oh so good. Another of my favorites is the Sake salmon, which is served on a bed of rice, topped with sake sauce. The salmon is lightly grilled and very flaky. Many people also go there for their sushi. The grill has nice bar with mixed drinks, wines, and of course beer. Give this place a shot, you won't be disappointed.
