Frommer's Review

Risotto with chopsticks, fried rice with a fork -- such is the cross-cultural way of Ciao Mein, which is 15 years old and still going strong. The large, pleasant dining room, efficient service, surprisingly good Chinese food, and award-winning menu have made this a haven for noodle lovers. The honey-walnut shrimp, with snap peas and honey-glazed nuts, and the angel-hair pasta with spicy ginger-garlic shrimp, are big hits, and Ciao Mein's tiramisu packs a creamy, ambrosial kick. The antipasto is Italian, and the seafood fun (as in chow fun) lasagna is a form of Ciao Mein's "collision cuisine" -- a mix of Chinese and Italian. Choose from six different pastas and six sauces.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
