The Great Wall of China was constructed to keep roving packs of ancient pandas from absconding with the local cuisine. Succeed where the bears failed with today's deal: for $10, you get $25 worth of Chinese fare and drinks at Edna Ray Chinese Restaurant, located in Willow Glen. This Groupon cannot be used toward lunch special pricing, but it is valid during lunch, as well as for family dinners.

A local foodstitution since 1963, Edna Ray Chinese Restaurant serves up a tasty mélange of dishes in its current cozy confines of Willow Glen with the same friendly service of its former digs in Los Gatos. Head chef Kwong Wing Suen has more than three decades of gastronomic experience in Hong Kong stored beneath his magic hat, which is the same place from which he pulled the expansive menu. Lead off with the egg rolls ($5.55) or wonton soup ($6.25 for two people) before digging into house specialties such as the tangerine chicken ($10.95) or the romantic, wine-sauce-soaked sea fruit known as lover's prawns ($12.95). The kung pao chicken ($9.25) and Mongolian beef ($9.25) can be spiced to any degree, while the pork chow fun entertains the tongue with parlor tricks ($6.75). Pleasant décor and friendly, quick service accentuate Edna Ray's welcoming noshing quarters, which host a bevy of repeat diners seven days a week.

Dine-in only. Reservations recommended.
