The tenth Chinese restaurant open Christmas Day
OK, here are the nominations to replace Hunan Annapolis on today's Top Ten. I haven't been to them, so I can't decide. Please post below if you've eaten at any of them and can flesh out the description a bit.
One thing my editor pointed out about the original list was that none of them is in the city. I called a couple (Ding How and P. F. Chang's), but they aren't open. Maybe eating Chinese on Christmas Day is a 'burb thing.
Here are five suggestions, all outside the city: ...
* Grace's Fortune, 15500 Annapolis Road, Bowie, 301-805-1108. This sounds pricey but elegant from the reviews on the net, just the ticket for a holiday meal. I called, and it is open Christmas Day noon to 10 p.m. Thanks to Clint for bringing it to our attention.
*Szechuan Inn in Severna Park, which bb says opens at 2 p.m. and has excellent food.
* David Chu's China Bistro, 7105 Reisterstown Road, Pikesville, 410-602-5008. This got voted Best Kosher Restaurant recently in a local survey and would probably have been on my original list except I wasn't the one who reviewed it for The Sun. It's open 11:15 a.m. to 10 p.m.
* East/West Bistro where Hunan Annapolis was in Pasadena. Thanks, Misha, for the info about it. It opens at 3:30 p.m. That much I know.
*China Fortune in Owings Mills. Alisa says, The food is so fresh and there are so many choices. Open 11:15 a.m. to 10 p.m.

I think you should go with East/West since it is essentially an evolution of your original pick with some of the same parties involved. Haven't been to any of them though, and I will be traveling on X-mas, so I wont be going to any this year.

I wholeheartedly second Szechuan Inn. My family's been going there for at least 20 years and are always deliriously happy with everything. The food is fantastic and the service gracious. They're even accommodating enough to make me a vegetarian version of chicken and cashews.
