I visited Hua Garden last night with some friends. We had a small number of dishes--all were excellent. The Yunnan style steamed chicken in clay pot (qi4 guo1 ji1, number one on the menu's second page) was nuggets of chopped drumsticks in a dark broth redolent with Chinese medicinal herbs and lychees, the gizzard with green onion and ginger (xiao3 chao3 ji1 za2, number thirty-two on the menu) a spicy and chewy delight of chicken innards with lots of dried red chilis, the green pepper with potato (qing1 jiao1 yang2 yu4 si1, number fifty-one on the menu) somewhat understated. Etc. From among the cold appetizers, sliced pig ears in chili oil and sliced chicken innards (ji1 zhen1? I have yet to check this word and the restaurant's manager was unsure how to write it) with xiang1 cai4 both excellent. Total fare for four people: $28 before tip.
