Chinese Food Recommendations
Friends, I am requesting your recommendations for the best Chinese food take-out in Crown Heights (preferably on Nostrand, but if the best you've seen is farther away, so be it). I am craving good, fresh sesame chicken and shrimp in garlic sauce. If there is anything like Grand Szechuan in Park Slope, let me know!
