Final Four: Our March Madness-style search for the Best Chinese Restaurant in Central Mass.

With a taste of March Madness, the search for the Best Chinese Restaurant in Central Massachusetts is down to the Final Four. And it's anybody's contest to win.

Readers cast more than 8,000 votes cast in the weeklong Round of 8, which ended Sunday. The field was cut in half, with these four restaurants still in the running: Kenichi, Jasmine, Wan Wang and Bamboo Garden.

Voting for the Final Four is underway, with Wan Wang vs. Bamboo and Jasmine vs. Kenichi.

Scroll down to vote.

The bracket-style competition, shaped to resemble the March Madness basketball tournament, began with 16 restaurants (based on reader nominations). The field was narrowed to eight and now four.

Final Four voting will last a week, with the two remaining restaurants to square off for the title of Best Chinese Restaurant in Central Mass.

We've shaped the poll after our earlier Best Pizza, Best Ice Cream Stand and Best Breakfast Place contests.

It's an informal poll, unscientific, intended as fun, a departure from the sometimes edgy tone of the internet.

Recapping the Round of 8:

Wan Wang (8) topped Wong's (1), capturing 58% of the 4,466 total votes.

Bamboo Garden (4) topped Cheng Du (12), capturing 56% of the 1,070 total votes.

Jasmine (15) topped Nancy Chang (7), capturing 58% of the 1,291 total votes.

Kenichi (11) topped Red Pepper (3), capturing 52% of the 1,643 total votes.
