Best of the Beach 2016, Best Chinese: W’s
Our readers have embraced a very multicultural and sophisticated version of Chinese cuisine. W’s China Bistro started out serving both standard Southern dishes and the distinctive Chinese-Peruvian fusion known as Chifa. It has built on that base with items that reflect Korean and Vietnamese influences. Since Vietnamese and Korean cuisine are heavily influenced by Chinese cooking and in an era when the notoriously conservative Chinese are themselves experimenting with foreign cuisines, the choice makes sense. The Chinese food most of us grew up with is still here, as well as some dim sum items, but made with creative boldness and premium ingredients. As a bonus, you can get a cocktail or good glass of wine to accompany your Hunan beef or kung pao chicken, and enjoy the best of east and west.
