I really miss the Chinese places I used to go to. Every Chinese restaurant in Japan has at least 8 different types of fried rice on their menu. My favorite was alway the garlic fried rice. Tawainese-style fried rice was a close second. I also miss the mabo tofu they all have there

Ibt favorite Mexican restaurant Taco Bell thread

I know everyone is going to disagree with me, but I love Chine Queen in Mission Valley.

1/19/2011 12:45:08 PM

china won off ten-ten/401 for take-out. huge portions and good customer service.

this is basically the "Best General Tso's in Raleigh?" thread all over again but whatever

1) David's Dumplings (haven't actually eaten there yet, but David Mao's other restaurants were A+ - Mandarin House and Duck and Dumpling)
2) PF Chang's
3) Neo-China
4) Jade Garden
5) Beansprout

I've heard great things about Five-Star as well...

oh and PS as somebody whose actually been to China, none of these restaurants are "authentic" in any way, shape, or form. The last place I ate at what I'd consider to be authentic was in Europe but some of my Chinese friends have mentioned that the Grand Asia Market sometimes has dim-sum and other traditional meals

Five Star

/thread.

1/19/2011 1:25:34 PM

chains should never be allowed in these lists

5 Star hands down. not only for the amazing food but the atmosphere is a great first date spot.

1/19/2011 1:26:27 PM

the owner, manager and bartenders are all really cool ppl as well.

1/19/2011 1:29:19 PM

chains are chains for a REASON

they are really good at what they do

1/19/2011 1:30:28 PM

^Yeah, but you can find them anywhere, and everyone already knows them / has an opinion on them. People want to hear about non-chains because that's going to be new and different to them.

^I've never heard of Five Star until this thread. Do you know what the Heat Seeker shrimp small plate is?

1/19/2011 1:54:27 PM

i like neo china

peking garden is pretty good too

both of those are kinda the family style way with the GIANT portions that you can definitely share between 2 people. so its fun to get 2-3 different things with a group.

i haven't tried neo china's other asian food yet though.

heard great things about 5 star but haven't eaten there yet...def want to!!

i will admit i love the lettuce wraps at pf changs. i think it is the sauce that kills it for me

oh and i am a fan of david's dumpling and noodle. wasn't a fan of the pho (i mean it just wasn't as delicious as some other places/real vietnam haha). but everything else there i've found delicious.

Red Dragon was the heat back about 5 years ago. Perhaps it still is, don't know.

1/19/2011 2:06:58 PM

if ur looking for authentic Chinese try 35 China in Cary on Kildaire Farm Road.

The atmosphere is awesome!

I love the sesame beef. Maybe I will go there sometime this week

thats good too..do they still have the koi swimming under the booths?

1/19/2011 2:44:28 PM

Fortune Palace on Capital... Looks unappealing from the outside, but the food is good stuff. They have an "authentic" section of the menu, but if you're used to take out chinese food, I recommend you stick with the usual stuff.

1/19/2011 4:50:14 PM

fortune palace is the shit! tho the people that run it are malaysian. Peking garden on 6 forks is also better than any other place listed in this thread

1/19/2011 4:52:45 PM

any good south korean food in the area? my brother in law was talking it up last time he was in town and I want to try some (he was stationed there)

1/19/2011 4:53:55 PM

New Rainbow...corner of 401 and hilltop needmore

1/19/2011 5:11:27 PM

I'd rather go to Morrisville and hit up Dim Sum House.

If you're referring to the Crispy Sesame Beef that's my favorite thing on the menu. General's chicken is a close second. Literally every plate I've had there has been excellent though.

i know!!! i feel like not a lot of people know about that place haha. it is NEVER crowded when i go. the atmosphere....definitely NOT killer, but i love the food. and they deliver to my house which rules.

i like neo china slightly better though, but peking garden is the noms.

i really wanna try 5 star though.

1/19/2011 5:43:00 PM

I will also proclaim my love for Five Star's crispy sesame beef.

1/22/2011 1:34:59 AM

I'm going to try the crispy sesame beef tomorrow and if it isn't godlike I'm going to rage ITT

1/22/2011 3:48:26 AM

the pearl is pretty damn good.
