CHINA BOWL – Chinese
China Bowl works a suite in a northwest Gainesville plaza, and the ordering list is longer than the storefront suggests. Appetizers alone run from Szechuan wontons and shrimp dumplings to sesame balls, edamame, fried donuts and a pu pu platter for two. The soup section is the giveaway that someone cares: subgum wonton, and yat gaw mein with roast pork, chicken or shrimp. Mains cover chow fun, chow mei fun, moo shu, tofu dishes, General Tso's, Hunan beef and bourbon chicken, with diet dishes for lighter days. Lunch runs eleven to three. Closed Mondays, otherwise open late. Pickup; cash accepted.
