I’m informed by local Ned that Chef Chus is the place to eat chinese here in Silicon Valley. Probably won’t have a chance to check it out this trip. Apparently Chef Chu also arranges trips to … China. Cool

Jeremy Z adds this suggestion:

Chef Chu’s is good food, but my personal favorite is the House Of Orient down in Campbell: http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=21557385
It’s rarely crowded (though it should be), prices are good, and service is reliable.
