Chow's

Frommer's Review

This refined but casual restaurant, near the intersection of St. Francis and St. Michael's, is Chinese with a touch of health-conscious Santa Fe. The tasteful decor has lots of wood and earth tones, while the food is unconventional as well, and cooked without MSG. You can get standard pot stickers and fried rice, but you may want to investigate imaginatively named dishes such as Firecracker Dumplings (carrots, onions, ground turkey, and chile in a Chinese pesto-spinach sauce), Nuts and Birds (chicken, water chestnuts, and zucchini in a Szechuan sauce), or my favorite, Pearl River Splash (whole steamed boneless trout in a ginger-onion sauce). For dessert, try the chocolate-dipped fortune cookies. Wine by the bottle or glass as well as beer is available. Chow's also has Chow's Chinese Bistro in Albuquerque, also with tasty food.
