Just off Interstate 74 at the Mahomet exit (Route 47 south, exit 172) is a small Chinese restaurant that's one of central Illinois' best kept secrets. At first glance, this generic-looking strip mall joint looks like a second rate Chinese take-out restaurant in the middle of nowhere. The dining room looks sparse, the fluorescent lighting a little harsh and it's sandwiched between a Subway and a nail salon.
But take a closer look and you'll see red strips of paper with Chinese writing hanging on the wall. That's a good sign — that's their "secret" Chinese menu. Look around at the tables and you'll see at least one or two tables with Chinese people eating (that's another good sign). Go up to the counter and Tina will greet you like a regular, just like she did at the old Mandarin Wok on Green Street more than three years ago.
