A lot of Chinese dishes are very simple - the complications that often come about in the more expensive restaurants - are the elaborations in the area of presenting the food that don't actually change the flavor, but make it nicer to look at.
Often the best food you can get comes in the simple countryside restaurants - using traditional recipes, and home-made sauces. If nothing else the ingredients in these places are usually a lot fresher!!! You can always spot the best place by the crowds who are eating there.

Sid,
One of my favorite meals was in the countryside of Yangshuo on our biking day. Our guide took us to a small place where we were able to watch the cooks in the kitchen. One woman handpicked some sort of green beans from the tree next to the outdoor tables. Talk about fresh! Simply made, and delicious. I can skip the expensive restaurants for the experiences we had.

PS: jlaughs,
One photo in the menu at The Noodle Loft had a delicious looking meat dish entitled, "Hand Shredded Ass Meat." We were told it was pork.
I took a few photos of Chinglish signs and will do a gallery of them soon.
