Amherst Chinese
62 Main St.
Amherst, MA
(413) 253-7835
Amherst Chinese has been a local institution since its opening in 1973; diners flock there for the healthy and delicious fare, including fresh, organic vegetables grown personally by owner Tso-cheng Chang. "We just serve healthy food," he says simply; that includes a new offering, ChiBerry juice, an organic supplement made from the schizandra berry. A bit of Amherst Chinese trivia: a teenaged Uma Thurman once worked as a dishwasher there.
