Sure, all you Brighton and Back Bay and Mission Hill residents, go ahead and snicker. But until that wondrous day when Golden House starts delivering, we'll just content ourselves with Asian Thai Eatery on River and West streets in Hyde Park, which delivers to Roslindale (and Mattapan and JP, but, strangely, not West Roxbury).

The food is not bad (although I still prefer Golden House). It's really more of a Chinese restaurant that has a few Thai dishes. But, yes, they deliver ($1.50 for Hyde Park, $2 for Roslindale, $3 for JP). 617-361-4448. No Web site, alas, so you'll still have to stop in first for a menu.

Whalehead King reports Dorchester has a new Chinese restaurant called Sizzling Empire Lucky Jade Wok Garden. He posts the main list of ingredients for one of their dishes.

Joanne Chang of Myers + Chang responds to a Yelp review that not only accuses it of de-grittifying the South End but of being offensive to Asians, to boot.

We tried the new P.F. Chang's in Legacy Place in Dedham today and are left with a single question: Why?

Why, in a big city like Boston, with plenty of actual Chinese restaurants, would anybody go there?

No, not Golden Temple. Boston Restaurant Talk reports that Chef Chang's House on Beacon Street has been bought by somebody who will turn it into another Chinese restaurant.

It's amazing what a change of ownership can do. Ian Lamont reports from the no longer barren Chinese supermarket:

... [W]e visited Super 88 this weekend after having lunch at the excellent Japanese ramen place adjacent to the food court, and were surprised to see fully stocked shelves, Cantopop playing in the aisles, and items like fuzzy squash, frozen duck (head on), and Cow brand body soap for sale (see pictures below) -- proof that a new chain, the Hong Kong Supermarket, was indeed taking over. ...

David runs down all the Chinese restaurants within three miles of Out of Town News, finds all of them lacking. Mary Chung, he notes, is just outside his Circle of Desolation:

It's 3.2 miles along Mass Ave - give or take – between Mary Chung and Qing Dao Garden, and as far as I'm concerned, there’s not much to eat Chinese-wise along that strip, which encompasses three of the major squares of Cambridge. Sort of disgraceful, don't you think? ...

Lawn Guylander who finds herself stuck in Boston seeks help getting Italian and Chinese food in Boston of the sort that can only be found in New York because the water's different or something (oh, wait, that's bagels).

And one other thing: "I need some advice from other New Yorkers ONLY."

Look what's hanging from the front of one of Rozzie's gazillion nondescript Chinese take-out places (on Belgrade Avenue near Walworth):

So could be cool, although that's what I said when Roslindale's only Vietnamese take-out place opened at that location, too.

Just yesterday:
Roslindale to get jazz cafe.
