👋 Alissa here. Another day, another excuse to go out to eat thanks to a made-up holiday.
What's next: Crab Rangoon Day is Sunday. But one day a year simply isn't enough time to celebrate the crab Rangoon at Silk Road Asian Cuisine, my go-to spot when I lived on the northeast side of town.
The intrigue: I don't know exactly why this nondescript little restaurant's Rangoons are superior.
- I think it's a combination of an ideal imitation crab-to-cream-cheese ratio, plus being served at the perfect golden-fried temperature when you dine in.
Bonus: The service is always top-notch. For an entree, I recommend the shrimp with lobster sauce.
The bottom line: I've yet to find any Rangoon that compares … and trust me, I've done plenty of "investigating."
If you go: 5963 S. Sunbury Road, Westerville. 11am-9pm. Closed Tuesday.
