Chris- Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 To be clear, I mean ‘American’ Chinese. I love the traditional stuff as much as the next sensible person, but this is not the thread for that. Go make your own thread for that. We tend to order family-style, so we usually get a number of things to share (usually 2 entrees and a side). We mix it up from time to time but our most ordered tend to be: - General Tso’s chicken - Beef lo mein - Shrimp fried rice - Mongolian beef - Pan-fried dumplings - Scallion pancake (with or without beef) - Egg rolls (pork and/or shrimp) - Spring rolls (vegetable or shrimp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Sweet & Sour Chicken, hands down. Order it almost every single time when I order Chinese. There's a place a few blocks down from me that makes it just right with the pineapples and shit in the sauce...mmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I order pretty regularly from a local place that is only a tiny step above a Panda Express, and orange chicken is my go-to order. Everything else I’ve tried from there has been disappointing, but the orange always delivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Nobody eats chow mein the fuck? That’s my number 1 as I never get Chinese without it. It can have meat or not, don’t really care but steamed, not the crispy kind preferably. Then I just love a lot of the chickens but kung pao and mushroom are my favorite, and I mean getting both and mixing. LOVE bbq pork. Hot and sour soup is my soup and I think one of the best things possible to eat is getting hot and sour soup and adding chow mein noodles to it. FUCKING bomb. Love egg rolls and spring rolls and crab wonton with hot mustard and sweet and sour dipping sauce. Im getting chinese food tonight now. I get some every week from the grocery chinese food bar but I mean the real good stuff tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it exactly? YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Get it today. It’s noodles, like greasy chinese noodles that just slide down your throat like obedient servants to your gullet. It’s usually with stir fried veggies and some meat or whatever, picture instead of fried rice it’s noodles. A lot of places will offer fried rice or noodles with an entree, it’s meant to fill that roll, but for me it’s like the star: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Haven't had chinese in a while, but I think the last time I did I got potstickers, kung pao chicken, general tso's chicken, and maybe some fried rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Either chicken with broccoli or chicken with mixed vegetables. I love my crispy veggies. I'll eat general tso or sesame chicken sometimes but I'm usually let down because of how fatty and gross the meat can be. Throw in a shrimp egg roll with the spicy mustard and I'm good to go.

Bacon Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Take out place 1: Bourbon/Teriyaki Chicken and Honey Chicken over lo-mein Take out place 2: Chicken On a Stick and Chicken lo-mein Safe Bet option: General Tso w/ White Rice I have had quite a number of chicken dishes from various take out places and I like them a lot, but I usually get what gets me most amount of meat. Szechuan chicken is something I like quite a bit but it usually has less chicken than what I usually get. I also really like General Tso chicken, but every take out place in town with a very thick sauce that doesn't work with lo-mein and I fuckin love lo-mein. It it wasn't clear I put my food on top of my lo-mein. And the thick goopy sauce just ruins it. Also, orange chicken sucks and tastes like someone melted orange candy over some fried chicken.

Kal-El814 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 My go tos were Mongolian beef, egg & pork fried rice, and chicken or beef with broccoli until I learned how to make those pretty well at home / got a rice cooker. Now I usually go for general Tso’s / orange chicken since I’m less likely to want to deep dry something myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to eat Vietnamese food twice a week and I'd always got spring rolls with there awesome peanut sauce. Vietnamese egg rolls are also much better than Chinese egg rolls imo. @stepee my Chinese restaurant has chow mein. I can pick shrimp, beef, chicken, roast pork, and vegetable to go with it. Which should I choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
