Ordering Chinese

Happy ending?

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

Standard for me is probably sesame chicken (I order Chinese rarely) but I sometimes get steamed dumplings or moo goo gai pan instead.

Find a Hunan Restaraunt, spicy chinese food is great. Standard Canto-Chinese restaraunt, meh it's all pretty much the same stuff.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

won ton soup
sweet and sour chicken
pork fried rice
chicken lo mein
egg roll
steamed white rice

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

I'm thinking:

Fried Wonton
Crab Rangoon
Beef & Broccoli

Comes out to like 11$ w/ free delivery...btw i don't like the sweet and sour chicken nearly as much as general tsao/gao's

mooshu pork is a fave.
shrimp in lobster sauce

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

Beef and Broccoli
Orange Chicken

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

General Tso chicken with Hot Sour soup = win.. but it depends where u get it from seom places suck at making General Tso some are awesome. Buffets are terrible usually.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

Get some walnut shrimp, bbq pork, or mongolian beef. Just some of my favs that weren't yet mentioned.

Damn now I'm hungry.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

if it's a cantonese restaurant, broccoli beef over hong kong style noodles.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

You can't go wrong with Fried Rice + (Meat), Chown Mein + (Meat).

I'm also partial to things with green beans, broccoli, carrots or zucchini/eggplant.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

Ok, now that you have been given the entire Chinese restaurant menu, I'm sure you can make a choice.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

i assume you mean [censored] american chinese food:

crab rangoons
pork lo mein
chicken fried rice
general gao's chicken
crispy orange beef

wow i haven't had this delicious [censored] in a while

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

Shrimp with lobster sauce and 2 eggrolls, make sure it's fried rice too.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

Have you ordered from this place before? The ranking of dishes often flips when you move from expensive to cheap.

For instance, I [censored] hate it when they brocolli dishes are all stem. I don't expect only crown (unless it's a primo place), but I've been served pure stem. Bad news.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

i have never seen broccoli without the crown, ever.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

General Tso's
Pan Fried Dumplings (6-8 depending on size)
White Rice

Re: Ordering Chinese

Hey Daryn,

Any tip for a good chinese food place in Boston, preferably one close to Brighton? I just moved into the city and I tried a few random ones from fliers and got absolute crap every time. Maybe just a fluke, but 3 of 3 were bad, so I haven't ordered out Chinese in a while.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

go to chinatown, no specific recommendations, if i get chinese food it comes from the suburbs

oh, hong kong harbor in east boston is good

They include the sauce for a reason, genius.

Now, let's get back on track and figure out why the OP doesn't know how to order Chinese food.

Re: Ordering Chinese
 

ha, american chinese food > authentic.

Sichuan Garden in brookline village is the best around there IMO but it's more authentic than your typical american and pricier. chang's on comm ave in brighton is good american style. the place halfway up on market street is AWFUL, never eat there. tin tin on n. beacon is good for cheap buffet but the food isn't great. I tried another place in brighton ctr that was not good, forget the name though.
