- A couple of weeks ago we mentioned that Nancy Leson was looking for comments on “old-school” Chinese restaurants. Now she’s posted a review of several, including the former Beacon Hill landmark, Perry Ko’s South China Restaurant. (If you count Perry Ko’s old location, we’ve eaten at every one of these restaurants.) — Seattle Times

Golden Daisy closed for remodeling
You know, I’ve never been to the Golden Daisy Chinese restaurant, and were I to want to remedy that, it looks like I’d need to wait until the 8th: they’re closed through November 7th for remodeling.
Golden Daisy is located on Beacon Avenue near 15th Avenue South, next door to Spoon’s.
Since I’ve never been there, if anyone has a review or can recommend a particular dish that I must try, please say so in the comments.
