For the seventh straight year, October is Dining Month on OnMilwaukee.com, presented by the restaurants of Potawatomi. All month, we're stuffed with restaurant reviews, delectable features, chef profiles and unique articles on everything food, as well as the winners of our "Best of Dining 2013."

Year after year, readers pick Emperor of China as best Chinese restaurant in Milwaukee. 2013 was no exception.

Despite a remodel, which includes the addition of a massive Chinese dragon hanging from the ceiling, this Brady Street staple isn't especially fancy, nor is its fare.

But with excellent lunch specials, including a great egg drop soup, and emphasis on quality and fresh vegetables, the Emperor is a solid pick for the best Chinese in town.
