Round one of our Readers' Choice poll is complete, and thanks to your submissions, we've whittled the list down to five finalists in each category. The polls are back open, so it's time to make your votes count. You can pick your favorite in more than eighty Food & Drink categories.

Is Chinese cuisine your thing? This year's choices are:

1. Hop Alley
2. Imperial Chinese Restaurant
3. Star Kitchen
4. Lao Wang Noodle House
5. Uncle Joe's, a Hong Kong Bistro

And just as we have for the past 33 years, Westword also picks its favorite in every Readers' Choice category (and offers our favorites in many more categories). Last year, JJ Chinese Seafood Restaurant wokked off with top honors from the editorial staff.
