Henderson's Chinese scene runs through strip-mall plazas off Eastern, Sunset and Anthem, plazas that also happen to hold the valley's best Thai and noodle counters. This guide covers the rooms worth the drive past fifty other options on a Tuesday night, ordered for consistency across a long menu rather than any single dish.
