I'm about to pick up some lunch from the Chinese place in a few minutes...I was curious as to what everyone usually orders from Chinese food restaurants. There are so many different things to order, but I always end up getting the same old thing...can anyone suggest anything new? :)

I usually get the sweet and sour chicken...It tends to be a staple of mine. I also like sesame chicken, vegetable lo mein, and fried cheese wontons :drool:

How about you? :happyface

Vegetable lo mein is my faaaaavorite.

I don't like Chinese food. I think it tastes :barf:

I thought that until about a year ago, too. Then I was coaxed into a Chinese restaurant by a good friend of mine. My mind was changed.

I'm a fan of chicken chow mein.

I usually get sesame chicken, fried brown rice, pepper steak or sweet & sour chicken plus a few extra fortune cookies. The only thing I hate about chinese food is that most of the stuff is high in fat so I don't eat it very often.

hot and sour soup foil wrapped chicken and fried shrimp some times i like genral tso. or sweet and sour chicken

I can't eat it. MSG gives me migraines so bad that I lose my vision sometimes.

Exactly I hate chinese food but that's just my opinion.

I like lemon chicken and beef with green pepper and fried rice. I notice that most Chinese places say on their menu that they don't use MSG.

Breaded Almond Chicken or Sesame Chicken
Beef Chop Suey
Pork Fried Rice


Damn ... I think I am going for Chinese food tonight, this list made me hungry

I LOVE Chinese food.

Beef Chow Fun (The 'wet' noodle variety)

Mongolian Beef

Fried Rice (Any type, i.e., beef, chicken, pork, 'house')

Sweet and Sour Pork

(I also love the tea they serve, and of course eggrolls for an appetizer)

and, like Jack, just about anything with rice or noodles

Hey can your friend come and coax my boyfriend into a chinese restaurant. I have tired so many times and I have failed and I really hate that he won't give it a chance since he has never tired it and just thinks he won't like it at all.

I have two favorite Chinese dishes and they are Shrimp Fried Rice and Beef and Broccile. But the shrimp fried rice is my ultimate favorite I could eat that everyday if possible.

MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm.:D

How could I forget the eggrolls? :wallbang and I haven't seen a Chinese restaurant yet that didn't have good tea.

This tactic worked for my ex girlfriend's son who was petrified at the thought of eating chinese food.

Get some takeout, If he likes steak or chicken then concentrate on that but don't tell him it's chinese or he for sure won't touch it. If he's never been in a chinese restaurant, He probably won't recognize it as chinese. We did this to her son and I'll admit that it was underhanded and sneaky but he liked it. That's what we did but I honestly wouldn't expect you to trick your boyfriend.

I LOVE Chinese food! :drool: Chicken or seafood chow mein, Mongolian beef, and fried squid all OWN. :liplick:

When I order Chinese Food, I usually get chicken and Broccoli or Hot and Spicey Shrimp....and lots of Fried Rice hmm, and when I get some Chinese at work at the venders, I usually get Fried Rice, and a Eggrole ok this is making me hungary lol, is it lunch time yet:lol:

Anything spicy preferraly with shrimp. Can't forget egg roll. I eat Chinese food on a regular basis.

How could I forget the eggrolls? :wallbang and I haven't seen a Chinese restaurant yet that didn't have good tea.

Yeah, what kind of tea is that? Is it that 'semi-fermented' oolong tea (kind of halfway between green tea and 'black'--like Lipton's tea)?
Anyone know? I'd like to buy some and make it at home.

Mmmmm....Chinese food! Just reading your thread, Kristel, now makes me want to eat it for lunch today! :lol: Not really sure if I will because I work until 4 p.m., and I am subbing up until 3 p.m. at another campus at the college. Therefore, I am not going back to my office/building after I finish subbing these classes. I'm just going home since I can use my lunch by going home earlier.

My favorite Chinese food dishes are usually the spicy ones and the chicken dishes. I think the beef dishes aren't as appetizing for me. I love the chow mein or the fried rice. I will eat orange chicken with those little red hot chiles. Yummy! :drool:

I love the eggrolls, the little sweet fried rolls. I think they are referred as biscuits or something with the sprinkled sugar. I love the spring rolls and so on. Damn...I'm now hungrier than ever, and I don't get out of my subs until another three hours! :lol:

We found the best Chinese food restaurant recently, China Sky. Our order remains pretty much the same.

The 'Appetizer Platter for Two' which has a few of each: chicken wings, chicken fingers, boneless spareribs, teriyaki beef, crab rangoon and spring roll.

For the main dish, we get this incredible item called, Lady Tso's Shrimp. Jumbo shrimp with vegetables in a spicy sauce. It comes with a side of white rice. It's to die for. That dish cost $18, but it's worth every penny.

I'm thinking that tonight is a very good night for Chinese food. :happyface
