What is the Best Chinese Food Menu Item

[Reginald Noble]

Due to various circumstances I must now consume Chinese food a couple of times a week for the next couple of weeks.

What dishes are prepared with the best quality that you could possibly get from a takeout restaurant in your experience? NYers especially encouraged to reply because our takeout scene is different. Thanks

My go to is Sesame chicken w/ shrimp fried rice, and extra duck sauce.

But I wouldn't be bold with Chinese food if I was outside of the NY/NJ area, or somewhere with a good Chinese food rep.

I'd just stick to chicken wings, spare ribs, and stuff like that if the Chinese food scene isn't strong in your area. That would be the safe move.

Chicken & Broccoli

Honorable Mention goes to their boneless spare ribs w/ pork fried rice


Egg foo young is another tasty dish that isn't in the poll.

unless its whole chicken breast, I'm not fukking with it.

The seafood is fine, but with the beef, pork, and chicken you're getting damn near scrap meat drenched in sauce.

Veggies are cool too.

Orange chicken

Depends on the restuarant.Some chinese restuarants use different oils and ingredients to cook the same menu item.

I think you mean the unreal person

Lemon chicken or chicken low mein

That shyt ain't food

They serve that to anybody that don't know better

Take your mans that speak Cantonese to order what they do for themselves

When done right Generao Tso's chicken is godly,

but I'd also like to throw Egg Foo Young in the mix, especially shrimp and beef.

Curry Shrimp Mei Fun, extra hot.
5 wings. Shrimp fried rice. Mumbo sauce.
2 cheesesteak eggroll.
1 liter water (half and half is demonic) and lemon.

Real chinese food involves animal organs and unless it's grass fed nope - Even then I'm not interested I barely can tolerate liver even though it is very good for you (once in a while)

They eat too many parts of the animal that are weird as fukk like eyes, nose ears and shyt. I'm like I don't think there's any nutrition in that except fukking collagen and cartilage.

I used to stick with dishes like Mapo Tofu which is quite close to the real thing. Maybe I should stick to a vegetable focused dish with Tofu.
