A couple blocks down from my place is a corner Chinese restaurant called Lucky River, it's a small, hidden gem in this area, and you'll come out of their feeling beyond satisfied...and for me, I'm always going to take advantage of my walks to and from the place.
They have a really good prefix menu for a minimum party of 2 people. My sister and I had the #2, which is $8.95 per person and gives you all this:
Fried Wontons
Hot and Sour Soup
Almond Chicken
Sweet and Sour Pork
Yung Chow Fried Rice
Above all, the fried rice was the best. There's nothing like a hot-off-the-press plate of Yang Chow fried rice that really pulls together this combination of dishes. The almond chicken isn't normally something I'd order but it was a good balance against my all-time favorite dish, sweet and sour pork. The hot and sour soup was a perfect start, especially given the chilly night.
They also have roast duck (Quarter: $6.95// Half $8.95) hanging in the window -- something I'll definitely have to try next!
