In a land dominated by brisket and tacos, are you looking for soup dumplings or Peking duck?
I have been, too.
Which is why I turned to Nextdoor to ask my Fort Worth neighbors where they get their Chinese food fix.
Nextdoor is a platform where locals can post thoughts and feelings about their neighborhood and surrounding areas. I’ve found this is a great way to hear about people’s restaurant cravings – previously, I’ve asked for Italian and Mexican restaurant recommendations, and y’all didn’t disappoint.
More than 40 comments rolled in recommending Chinese restaurants across the metroplex. Here’s where locals like to dine, according to Nextdoor.
