HealthydiningChinese Inn has two stone lion statues sitting guard at the entrance. Orange curved roof tiles aligned in a straight row look like an Americanized version of a pagoda's top gone ranch-style. Open the heavy red doors and what you find is an elaborately carved tiger with its jaw wide open. It greets guests atop a chunk of rosewood rock at the entrance of Chinese Inn.Enter the 7,000 square foot buffet area which can seat a whopping 250 guests or visit one of the two party rooms and you will find rosewood tables and screens done in the classical fashion. A soft yellow lighting scheme blends with the heavy woods and dark reds that accent the walls. Owner Yu Tan, serves the local population of college students from nearby Louisiana State University and business owners a menu with over one hundred choices. Although “mostly everything on the menu is ordered” says Mr. Tan, if he had to name a few very popular dishes, they would be Green Pepper Steak, Chef's Special Fried Rice, General Tso's Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken on a Stick, though not in that particular order. |
