China Stix in Santa Clara, California

Chinese Chicken Salad

This place at Santa Clara Town Center (2110 El Camino Real, 408-244-1684) has a special Chinese language menu that features things like minced fish lettuce cups that were impressively delicate.

But we also wanted to order things from the main menu that we couldn't get back in Asia, like that Chinese chicken salad above, as well as mu shu pork. The former wasn't as good as Feast from the East, but was still fine with its ginger and sesame dressing. The latter was better, with its finely slivered and pleasantly smoky filling that was good enough to eat on its own after running out of wrappers.

The beef chow fun here is skippable though, and hopefully they renovate the place soon, especially since the back portion is starting to smell a bit stale.
