Bites Nearby: City Lights of China

You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Kensington Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:

—You can add City Lights of China to the list of solid Chinese spots in the area. Offering the usual Chinese fare: dumplings, fried rice, lo-mein, etc., coupled with several healthy sauteed choices, this spot is a good family option when cooking seems like too much of a hassle, and you don't want to empty your bank account on a meal. 

It does tend to get busy during dinner time, so you may want to call ahead to check on the wait, and be prepared for a relatively noisy dining experience. Also, parking is hard to come by so don't plan on pulling right up front for take out.

Weekdays, 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday, 12 p.m.-10:30 p.m.; Sunday,  11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. 4820 Bethesda Ave., Bethesda. 301-913-9501.
