Best Chinese in Brighton Park
Master Critic Review
China Ho Restaurant
7.8
A Pulaski Road neighborhood Chinese counter that does best with a focused order of stir-fry mains and classic sides, built more for practical weeknight meals than a dining-room occasion. Keep it to one noodle dish or one saucy entrée plus a starter, and the experience stays clean and satisfying.

Beef chow fun, Kung pao chicken, Crab rangoons
