I've always found the So Good decent, but not great.

Dunno if you've ever been to Cam Kong, but the General Tao chicken is pretty damn spicy and tasty. They also make the most amazing noodles and peanut sauce there. Mmm.....



On another note, who here is with me on the assumption that Chinatown will continue to expand westward all the way into Hintonburg?

I've noticed that they've already crossed the bridge up to Somerset Square...

Interesting concept. I have noticed a couple of places by Takaki (with great soups, by the way), but there is pretty limited scope for Chinatown to really push into Hintonburg, unless they act fast before the wave of gentrification sweeps in from the west. Personally, I thought Booth and Rochester Street were more logical extensions of Chinatown (Rochester could legitimately be called an Emerging Mainstreet).

True, but I was in the area a few weeks ago and noticed a lot of English/Chinese signs in the area.

Those are the logical assumptions, but I don't really see too much happening on either of those streets. And is there really a lot of room for expansion along Booth Street?
