You ever got to a Chinese restaurant and notice that there are sometimes 2 different menus out on the tables? If you've never been to a more authentic place, you've probably never seen it. Basically, the more asian diners there are, the more authentic the place will be. Thats where you should eat and thats where you'll probably see the mythical secret menu.
Now I've seen this menu quite a few times in my lifetime and admittedly am not so sure how 'secret' it really is. In fact, by 'secret', it may just really mean that its in Chinese and I can't read it. That being said, I've heard rumors and seen tv food shows in which they basically allude to the fact that there are other specialty items on the 2nd menus that are not seen on the english speaking ones. I haven't been able to confirm whether this is true or not, but I'll find out and follow up on this post. I know for a fact that 'Fortune' in Milwaukee has a 2nd menu as does 'Evergreen' in Chicago.
Either way, both of these restaurants are excellent and the telltale sign is of course the asian diners. So keep an eye out and follow the asians cause we know how to eat!
