Need some good old fashioned Chinese Fried Rice, with Roast Pork would be a plus.
What's the best around campus/downtown?
Jade Garden? Beansprout? Peace China?

They look like a Japanese restaurant. They know how to make Chinese Roast Pork Fried Rice?

7/8/2012 6:31:24 PM

obligatory Pearl

7/8/2012 6:31:34 PM

idk the only thing i've ever had on the menu is General TSO. There is a place down 64 that has pretty good rice and food but its like 10 minutes from campus

Pearl sounds good but damn if any of these chinese places have a menu online anywhere

7/8/2012 6:39:43 PM

If you go to pearl and don't get the HOUSE LO MEIN then fuck you i hope you starve

I also vote for Pearl.

7/8/2012 6:41:45 PM

calm down kids, i'm headed to Pearl now
will report back after hopefully a full and happy stomach

David's Dumpling and Noodle Bar- David's fried rice is awesome

i heard really good things about david's. but i gotta admit, the only time i ate there, i was all:

7/8/2012 7:25:09 PM

the food is nothing special and because of that is a bit overpriced

I like the actual place though

seriously? every chinese restaurant in the country uses the same menu

5 star

7/8/2012 7:36:08 PM

^^ i was looking for the specialty menu that people keep talking about on Yelp

anyhow, i had the house fried rice and pot stickers.....i'd say above average but nothing too unique

7/8/2012 7:54:52 PM

You can't ask for advice, do your own thing and then say it was mediocre

You're welcome. Their dumplings are actually pretty good too, but nothing amazing

Does that place Red Dragon still exist over by five points. I liked that place.

7/8/2012 9:28:42 PM

not chinese pork fried rice, but Kanki is the shit.

I'm a fan of Jade Garden for Chinese

7/8/2012 9:37:12 PM

Ten Ten.

7/8/2012 9:45:47 PM

Red Dragon is pretty good, yeah. Whoever mentioned it.

Beansprout > Pearl

Krallum right bout dat House Lo Mein though.

7/8/2012 10:19:02 PM

I thought Ten Ten shut down awhile ago, and has been some Sushi/Thai place

7/9/2012 12:25:51 AM

sushi nine girl.

bogo rolls and that shit is the jam

^^Oh, it did. I threw Ten Ten old for the old folks.

7/9/2012 12:38:37 AM

Pearl has gotten much much better over the last few years. You'd be hard pressed to beat it for the price.

7/9/2012 12:42:33 AM

Bean Sprout +1

I'm a fan of Beansprout but the fried rice you get with the combo is mediocre. Not bad, but I wouldn't say it's great either. Perhaps if you specifically order "pork fried rice" it would be good though.

I laughed

7/9/2012 8:59:02 AM

damn when did Sushi Nine start offering BOGO rolls?

How are their rolls vs. say Sushi-O BOGO (Glenwood South) or Tasu BOGO (Brier Creek, Crossroads)?

7/9/2012 9:38:11 AM

Better than Tasu but I also think Tasu is horrible (the one in Brier Creek; haven't ventured into the Crossroads one)

7/9/2012 9:39:32 AM

Another +1 for Beansprout. I absolutely loved their egg fried rice. Nom nom nom.

7/9/2012 10:02:07 AM

I used to go to Pearl all the time when I was in college but after that I started going to Beansprout and thought it to be better. Went to Pearl again less than a year ago and it seems way better than it used to be. Seems to be superior to Beansprout now in my opinion*


*however I will say that the General Tso's chicken at Pearl sucks. Far inferior to Beansprout's.

7/9/2012 4:36:57 PM

only on tdub will a discussion about the best chinese fried rice wind up including lo mein, davids noodle bar, general tso's, and sushi

7/9/2012 4:44:24 PM

China Queen in mission valley has pretty good food

7/9/2012 5:08:38 PM

What's up with that NY Deli next to it?

7/9/2012 5:35:00 PM

That place blows.

I ate china queen once in my life and i got the flu the very next day. That is the only time in my life i have been sicker than a common cold

Pearl was always my goto fast food Chinese joint, but now that I live north of campus, beansprout is 3x as close and is good enough to make it worth it to just go their instead. They definitely win on the Rangoon btw

7/9/2012 5:38:10 PM

food gave you the flu? lol.

7/9/2012 8:44:16 PM

Best rangoon I've had around here is at Lucky 7. Good Singapore noodles and general tso's, too.

7/9/2012 8:48:07 PM

i had this great BBQ at dickies one time

someone say something about crab raccoons?

8/13/2012 8:30:22 PM

I haven't had anything at Pearl that wasn't better than Beansprout. This doesn't mean something doesn't exist though.

8/13/2012 9:10:07 PM

golden dragon

8/13/2012 10:10:26 PM

If you really believe that, I feel sorry for you. Or maybe it's a good thing for you since that place is so goddamned cheap.

The man speaks truth. Cheap tastes goooooood.

The fried rice that comes in a meal is fine at Beansprout, but if you order pork fried rice it's all fresh and greasy and AMAZING.
