I don't mean to sound like a P.C. person, but as a fellow asian I feel the word oriental is from a 1960's/1970's movie when white people played leading asian roles. Perhaps, the word asian could be used because asians are people not rugs, trains routes, or spice trade routes. Also, I vote for Long's Kitchen & Pho & Roll. If two votes are allowed.

Fair concern. I'll pass that along and see what we can do. ... Oh, and we're not voting yet... just nominating. Voting will come later using a polling system.

Long's Kitchen by far is the best chinese food around and at a good price.

It's a tie for me: Mango II or Kyoto, with Pho n' Roll coming in third.

I like Mango II (the food is descent), but charging extra for a bowl of rice is crazy. When I eat out at Asian restaurants I either buy a large rice or the extra bowl is free of charge if I want more. Plus, I refuse to pay more for rice. It's like paying extra for a refill of soda or coffee. Most asian places do not charge extra for rice. Mango II serves very small portions of rice from a small asian soup bowl,compared to other asian places when the rice is an ample amount. It fills half the plate/container. I think Long's is almost close to Chinatown food to any other place in Tewksbury. DIm Sum in Chinatown,yummy! No charge for extra rice. Awesome! : )

Long's is wildly inconsistent. I generally get the same dish there every time we get Chinese takeout, and it's different every single time. On a 10 scale, it's as good as an 8 at times, and sometimes as bad as a 3 or 4. While they may be the best Chinese in town, IMO Mango II's food quality and consistency far out paces Long's. Also, fwiw, rice is free @ Mango II for lunch entrees.
