"In late 1984 Tropical Chinese opened its doors in a strip mall on Bird Road. Serving Hong Kong-style cuisine and push-cart dim sum, the menu highlights include the two-course Peking duck carved table side for the crispy skin with pancakes and then returned to the kitchen where it is wok sauteed with vegetables and back to the table to consume, the spicy Szechuan peppercorn fish, and the curry coconut beef hot pot." - Stacy A.
