Hua Jia Yi Yuan

Updated: 2008-08-07 10:30 "Give to people what they want, then you can give them what you want!" A great quote from a great foodie movie, Big Night, a movie that wrestles with the hardest thing a restaurant must deal with-tradition vs. changing tastes. Hua Jia Yi Yuan has really taken this to heart and embraced it so much that it has taken Chinese food to a new higher level. The master chef Lin Hai Hua has taken his marching orders from the proud owners and with the family of chefs, staff and performers has created a menu that attracts not only foreigners but local Chinese people as well. When you wait in line for a restaurant you hope it is good and not just hype, Hua Jia Yi Yuan is so good that you will wait however long it takes. But they do take reservations-yay!
