It isn't shocking to see China Wong in Yorkville pull in with the number one spot. So many people rave about how good the grub is there. What does seem to be just a little bit shocking is not finding one certain restaurant on the list, Peking Tokyo. Peking Tokyo seems to have so many people hooting and hollering about how good the food is. Yet Yelp didn't even rank the New York Mills restaurant in their top nine.

How many of the nine above have you been to? If only one or two, maybe make it a bucket list and try them all. Obviously, you certainly could not go wrong.
