Here’s what I’ve been eating 🍽️
Last week, I went to Shen’s Szechuan & Sushi on Poe Avenue in Dayton. I hadn’t been there in a long time, but Chinese food sounded really good and my husband really likes their sushi.
The restaurant was able to make chicken fried rice with gluten-free soy sauce for me and my husband had two sushi rolls:
California (crab stick, avocado and cucumber)
Yummy (tempura shrimp topped with crab meat, spicy mayo and eel sauce)
Everything was great! What’s your favorite Chinese restaurant? Email me here.
