Good Chinese on the northwest side of town?

To be fair, I havent explored as many places as I would like to but I was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for Chinese food in the Roscoe Village/Lincoln Square/Wrigleyville area

I live near lincoln square and we usually go to Sun Wah on Argyle or get delivery from Mei Shung. Sad to say, there is no really good chinese right in our neighborhood (please correct me if I'm wrong, folks). But Mei Shung is fast and good for delivery. They usually take about 30 min., though they'll quote you longer.

When I think of "Northwest Side", I think of more like where Kow Kow is. I've never actually been, but being a David Lynch fan, I feel that I ought to go.

Your question does make me wonder if anyone has ever been to Wah Sun, which is on Lincoln right in there. It looks like a place that might a nice array of goofy drinks in funny glasses, but I've never been, even though I lived within a few blocks for almost two years.

Orange Garden is where I did go once or twice when I lived around there, and it may be the physically closest to the area you lay out. I believe they had a pretty good curry chicken.

Note that all of these are in the "ameri-chinese" vein (well, guessing about Wah Sun but it seems pretty obvious from the outside) and will have a menu rather different than the places sarcon recommended (both of which I would probably prefer to a standard ameri-chinese menu) Mei Shung is one of few places with a Taiwanese menu (in addition to a more standard menu), and Sun Wah specializes in roast duck and barbecue pork.
