Homestyle Taste

Since Chinatown isn't too far away, Bridgeport is blessed with some genuinely good Chinese restaurants. That includes this Northern-Chinese spot, where rice is skipped in favor of crackly wheat pancakes. They are good dipped in just about anything, or just eaten on their own. Other dishes worth ordering include plump, hand-formed dumplings bursting with juicy pork; cool spinach in puckery black vinegar, dotted with roasted peanuts; and tender lamb wok-tossed with cumin seeds, spicy from both fresh and dried chilies.
