So I was perusing Bloomington's fantastic supply of various ethnic restaurants, and looking at the names of Chinese restaurants I noticed a fascinating correllation between the names of pretty much every one in the United States. To the point where it may as well be a formula...
To name your new Am-Asian enterprise you must first start with your first descriptive ""adjective"" I double quotationed that word because you'll find that pretty much every word in this list is actually a noun, deceptively posing as an adjective.
Possible ""Adjectives"":
China
Golden
Rice
Hunan
Panda
Dragon
Next, select one of the following types of restaurant that you feel best describes your establishment. Or just whichever you feel like, it doesn't necessarily have to be correct. Or even make sense
Possible Restaurant Styles:
House
Wok
Garden
Kitchen
Cafe
Express
Buffet
King
Seriously... Of these combinations, I not only know of but have eaten at all of the following:
China King
Rice Kitchen
Golden Wok
China Wok
Dragon House
Panda Express
Panda House
China Cafe
China King Super Buffet (only for the most daring of entrepeneurs - the dreaded Chinese "two nouns being used as adjectives")
Try it yourself - see what you come up with.
Or if you want to be really creative, try using words from Chinese cuisine thrown into a popular phrase, like so:
Wok This Way
Panda-monium
Just a Closer Wok With Thee
Wok Around the Clock
Va-China Mongol-ogues
OK so "wok" is way easier to do that with than the others... But I do like the last one a lot...

But "Golden" is an adjective.
