Paul Chen's looks like a typical neighborhood Chinese eatery. But this word-of-mouth favorite lures patrons from nearby Charles Village, Hampden and Remington and also has a cult-like following of Johns Hopkins students.
At peak times during lunch and dinner, don't be surprised to find most every table is taken. That's because the food is great -- perhaps the best Chinese within a 20-block radius. You'll find all the standard fare, including Shrimp with
Garlic Sauce, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Moo Shu Pork. Dinner and lunch specials come with a choice of soup, rice or egg roll.
