I have Asian parents coming in and would appreciate any other tips people have for authentic, reasonably priced Chinese food in the area or Chinese groceries where you can find Chinese chives, Chinese cabbage, Chinese five spice, etc.
My choice for Chinese: Chez Xu (Riponne & Gare- you'll probably see me more in the former and the place is popular with the Chinese population in Lausanne) and Au Canard Pekinois.
Try" La Jonque", Avenue de Cour 15 , Lausanne (towards Ouchy). Our favorite place and best experience when visiting with chinese friends. The food is excellent but you should be patient with the waiters. It's worth it.
