I think I might live like 20 steps away from CHC. Is it right next to and connected to Swift Stop? Right by where the flying burrito used to be?
That'd be CHC.

Where do all the Chinese students that attend ISU prefer? It would be interesting to see what they actually think about if the food was authentic or just Americanized. I would guess Cocost and CHC are pretty authentic.
I'd say I've noticed the most at Cocost, CHC, and the Scallion. Those seem to have the most authentic options.
I haven't been impressed by any Chinese place in Ames yet. In fact, I haven't been overly impressed with a lot of the food here. But I do agree that for a town this size it does have a lot of Chinese places.
Sorry I don't like paying hard earned money for crappy food. Food that I can easily make myself (and better) for about half the price. In Des Moines I can get better food than in Ames for cheaper. If you want to save money, you don't go out to eat. So saying that college is about being poor is a load of crap.
The food might fill my belly, but it will also lose my business.
I think you'll enjoy CHC. When I lived in Ames, it was the only chinese food place I really liked and whenever I come back, I always go there.I haven't tried CHC, but all the other places that I have been were below average at best. That is why I gave up on trying the Chinese food in Ames. However, Ames does have some good Mexican restaurants.
You have got to be the pickiest college kid. College isnt about eating gourmet banquets, its about being poor and making the most of what you have. What Ames has is several hidden gems that will not only stretch your dollar, but will fill your belly and leave you smiling. There are plenty of food places in Ames that have great food.
