Underhill,
I feel like I am hi-jacking rkkwan's thread, but here is my take on food in China (BTW Chinese food is my 1st, 2nd & 3rd favorite).
On my 2 trips to China (1985 & 2007) I have had good food, different food but in the end nothing was better than our Chinese food in the Bay Area in good (or my favorite restaurants). It was good, there were different dishes & choices, but overall NOT better - only just as good at best -IMO.
That included local joints and 5* restaurants & hotels in Shanghai/Beijing/HK

If you go to Xian, try the "yang ruo pao muo". It's a mutton soup dish (of course, if you don't like mutton, you won't like it). I still haven't found any restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley that serve this dish that's quite as good as what I had in Xian.
