The Best Chinese Restaurants in and Around New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Trey Yuen is a bright spot on the local Chinese food horizon, although you need to travel across the 24-mile causeway to the other side of the lake to find it. In the hands of the third generation of Wongs, who opened their first eatery in Hammond in 1971, this restaurant is full of Chinese art and artifacts and includes a pretty koi pond (ask about fish food for the kids). A few dishes to try: the ethereal shrimp and crab in a cloud, rich with egg and flavors of the sea; a bracing crawfish in spicy lobster and black bean sauce; and for the intrepid, marinated alligator stir-fried with fresh mushrooms." - Beth D’Addono
