For some reason, it’s been forever since we indulged in the ritual of Chinese takeout. Where better to revive the habit than the place C-VILLE readers voted Best Takeout—namely, Asian Express on W.

Take, say, the tofu and veggie lunch special we ordered: a simple garlic sauce coated bok choy that wasn’t bland at all, zucchini and broccoli, and firm tofu with plenty of character. Ah, the sound of the Coke can popping open; ah, the egg roll in its little envelope. Our one complaint was the copious paper and plastic packaging around the meal. But hey, it’s all part of the fun.
