The Scene
You've driven past the building that looks like it's on fire. Ever wonder what was behind those eye-catching flames? Tucson restaurateur Bob McMahon's experiment in Asian cuisine feels like Hong Kong reinvented for the new millennium: Khaki-clad waiters, sleek dark accents and palm-frond ceiling fans bring a modern Chinese feel to Plaza Palomino.

The Food
Order something with sauce. For starters, skip the bland Ahi Two Ways and go for the Assorted Pleasures appetizer with eggrolls, potstickers and three dipping choices. Fresh seafood like pan-seared scallops and shrimp are perfectly cooked, but pretty tasteless on their own. Sauces are all that save vegetables dishes like the Buddha's Feast and sesame chicken salad from utter obscurity.

Dish to Die For
The Beijing Pork is stellar, sweet-glazed and served with slightly spicy wasabi mashed potatoes.
