Maple Garden

It hums like a top and rarely disappoints. Maple Garden is known for its garlic eggplant, Peking duck, and Chinaman's Hat, a version of mu shu pork, available in vegetarian form as well. The crisp green beans are out of this world. Other hits: braised scallops with Chinese mushrooms, sautéed spinach, and prawns in chili sauce. Vegetarian selections are ample, as are dozens of seafood entrees -- everything from sea cucumbers and braised salmon to lobster with black-bean sauce. An ever-expanding visual feast adorns the dining-room walls, covered with original drawings, sketches, and murals by noted artist John Young. The staff is unbelievably friendly, service is top-notch, and most entrees are only $8 to $9.
