good Chinese food????

[Kandyegirl]

Heya ~

Our fave Chinese restaurant is Jumbo @ North May & Hefner. Good quality, affordable and very friendly owners! We've been regular customers for several years. This is making me want Chinese food at 10:00am. <grin>

Cordially ~

Oh yeah I forgot all about Jumbo Chinese. You're right, they are great. Everyone who lives up that way should give them a shot.

For my family it's King Won's on Air Depot in Midwest City.
The place has been around for years now and it's just as good if not better then when it started.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

For quick take-out, the closest place to my house is out at SE 89th and Sooner, they're pretty good for being a small place in a tiny strip mall in the middle of nowhere. China Olive is what I think it's called.

They're the absolute BEST in my eyes.

Because they're the closest

My brother took me to this little hole in the wall place called Taiwan chinese food on NW 28th/Portland. I now make the extra drive just to eat there when i'm craving chinese!

Thanks for posting this thread. That's what I came here for today...not realizing the topic was already posted.

I've also noticed a serious decline in the quality of Chinese restaurants....especially Aloha Garden on 74th and Penn. One of our old regulars is now only a shell of their former selves. Very bad.

lemongrass on sw 119th & western is really good... some of the best springrolls i've had! -M

Ditto. Good food and very relaxed atmosphere.

I'm not crazy about Grand House since they switched to the PF Changs style of food.

The wife and I really like Oasis Cafe for their udon, but it's not the Americanized Chinese food. I can usually talk her into Mr Pho about once a week, but she's not adventurous enough to try any of the other Pho places.

I think Lido has some pretty good chinese entree's like you're looking for.

What's the best Thai place around the Asian district?

[linze]

Make that double ditto for me. LemonGrass has really great food! The best Hot and Sour Soup I have ever tasted. The secret is using white pepper! YUMMY!

Golden Palace at SW 15th and Meridian is awesome!!!!

[Jesseda]

okay , i used to work at chinese restaurants, i was the only white guy there lol. well anywho, I really like GinWei off of reno and meridian, it is great. I also really really like kits chinese off of eastern and 12th street in moore, nothing fancy by all means, but the food is great , i have not found a place that eats the egg rolls they have, and that sauce oh my gawd....if you like take out the best take out i have tried is also in moore off of eastern just north of 12th street.. it is called mandrin chef.. they general tso is really really good.......

[ShiroiHikari]

I like Lemongrass too.

There's a place in Norman called the TEA Cafe that's pretty awesome. I've never been disappointed with the quality of their food, and they have awesome drinks and teas.

Love Snow Pea on Western just north of NW 63rd, little bit past Nichols Hills Plaza. Everything I've had there is great.

[jawgie]

I have tried Kits in Moore and it is good. I do think Dot Wo is better though.

Grand House used to be pretty good.

I haven't been there in awhile.

I'm always a little wary of Chinese restaurants -- the quality of ingredients in most of them is appalling. I'm not a big fan of mystery meat.

What mystery meat?

[bandnerd]

You know, that meat that says "pork" or "beef" but has an odd, greasy, translucent quality to it.

My experience tells me that this meat, while in SE Asia, isn't a mystery at all. It's dog. If you're in Puerto Rico, it's monkey.

Neither are all that bad either.








After a couple of beers.

*shudders uncontrollably*


EWWWWWWWWWW.

[rxis]

Thats just fat. are you a veggie, bandnerd?

Dot Wo,Lido, first chinese bbq if you know how to order...hehe I'll prob try lemongrass soon.

I think there has been in a decline in quality as well. The good ones don't seem to last in Oklahoma. I guess everyone wants the greasy fried foods.

[Karried]

One thing I hate is when a new restaurant opens and it 's great, tasty and full of chicken or pork ....then shortly after, the meat becomes nearly non exsistant and it's all veggies and tofu.

It's like a bait and switch. I've seen it happen at the quickie places.. ie China Garden .. a franchise I think.. I won't go back when they do that. I haven't found a place that's really phenominal. I do like the Sunday Seafood Buffet on Broadway Extension and 33rd... (can't remember the name- I think it's Dynasty?). They have a lot of shrimp dishes and crab legs.

King Won's on Air Depot in Midwest City

I went to King Wans on Air Depot on Wednesday night. I ordered the sesame chicken and my husband ordered the beef lo mein. The Lo Mein was made with spaghetti noodles with some type of red sauce. My sesame chicken had no flavor. The egg rolls were burnt and tasted like they had been reheated in a microwave. The sweet and sour sauce I had to pay extra for was thick with no flavor. They did have fast service.

For now I will stay with the New Garden on Douglas and Reno.

Hardly a vegetarian, but I like meat that is meat, not grissle and fat. That low quality crap has no place on my plate.

[eataroundokc.com]

Ever tried Snow Pea? I like their chicken fried rice with vegetables. Also, it's hard to find a healthier meal than their lemon chicken with steamed broccoli and no rice.

[jbkrems]

I went to Snow Pea and had stuff like that, and I was greatly disappointed. For Chinese, I go to Pei Wei, or Kang's.

[Taggart]

I'm surprised that nobody has said Blue Moon in Edmond. It's pretty legendary here.

I also vote Kangs on 2nd.
