Happy Chinese New Year. Beginning January 26, the Chinese zodiac celebrates the Year of the Ox.
If you’re an ox (meaning your birth year was 2009, 1997, 1985, ’73, ’61, ’49, ’37, ’25 or ’13), you tend to be dependable, trust-worthy and patient, though stubborn and hot-tempered in an argument.
Considering all your wonderful qualities, not to mention that this is YOUR year to shine, friends and family are pretty much obligated to treat you to dinner.
Here are some favorite local choices for Chinese food. Don’t see your fave? Add it!
> Fresh China: Authentic, fresh Chinese
> SoCo’s Chinese Buffets: Chopsticks up!
> Your fave local Chinese restaurants
> China Room: Still solid
> Hang Ah Dim Sum
Editor’s Note: Travel, dining and wine tasting can be complicated right now. Use our inspirational ideas to plan ahead for your next outing, be it this week or next year. If you visit restaurants, wineries, and other businesses during the pandemic, remember to call ahead, make reservations, wear a mask and social distance.
Royal China (Marlow and Piner) is another great choice. Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken are our favorites.
Happy New Year!

Chopstix in Petaluma (Western Ave.), the best Chinese I’ve had in a long, long time.
The China Star at College and Stonypoint gets my vote. It’s small, great service and the best Hot and Sour Soup in the County, to say nothing of the rest of the Menu.Roger W. Hamilton
Jade’s BBQ has been closed for months. Its now a donut shop.
