Norfolk, Virginia's second-largest city, is at the center of the Hampton Roads area, which is named for the large natural harbor located at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. One of Norfolk's neighborhoods is an area known as Ghent, a commercial district recognized mostly for its shops and restaurants. Check out Oceanview Golf Course or Lambert's Point Golf Club, which both overlook the water. While in Ghent, you can also check out a Chinese restaurant situated along 21st Street and in the surrounding vicinity.
Kin's Wok Ghent
This restaurant caters to sit-down diners as well as those who prefer carryout. The prices are affordable and, with such large portions, you'll have plenty of leftovers for the next day. Try the orange-flavored tofu and kung pao vegetables or the Singapore Mai Fun, a curried noodle dish. The restaurant only accepts cash.
