New place in town call Fu King has awesome ribs, sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoon, and pork fried rice. Commercial is pretty good too - "take out or eat in we are Fu King awesome!"
w/steamed rice, one extry egg roll. China King on Lane Allen, or Great Wall on Waller are my go to spots.
I think that the reason why black folks and Chinese get along so well is that both groups don't let anything go to waste (animal-wise). The only way I'll even touch chitlins NOT prepared by a black grandma is chitlins fried in a wok at a Chinese hole in the wall. BTW, if you like Japanese cuisine, if you order nakami...it's chitlins. Just so y'all know.
Gross all around...
Chinese food is just goop, more or less. Dumplings and that brown sauce aren't too bad. They also make a poor-mans Pad Thai that is white noodles with fried egg and choice of meat, forget the name though.
By now, most cities and suburbia will have a korean/thai/vietnamese place. Go to them, and never look back. It's better in almost every facet of cuisine.

My wife loves to get normal take out Chinese, but we moved and have a decent Thai place nearby so that's our thing now. I like both, get General Tso's or similar with pork fried rice. Also do dim sum with friends in NYC Chinatown, both the downtown and, when there is time, the "more authentic" Queens one. Also, one of my best friends is Chinese and he can cook anything well, so just text a request and bring over beers for the win.
Iron Chef in Hamburg: Honey Crispy Shrimp With Walnuts. It probably has 4500 calories in each shrimp but it's goooood. Add a little ketchup and it's perfect for the "foodies can bite my balls" crowd.
Please. I worship bacon like it is a god, and I am not one of those idiots who say "OH MAKE MINE EXTRA CRISPY TO DESTROY ALL THE FATTY GOODNESS!!1!!" or anything... I am one of those people that understand bacon needs to be crispy AND not, enough crisp to crunch but enough fat to slide down your throat. I know the difference between the different grades and ambers on maple syrup, and know that a good dark amber grade B is what you REALLY want, and yes, that it is okay to drink it out of a mug as a dessert (or put it over vanilla ice cream.) I know that you can take any food on earth and add four foods (bacon, sauteed onions, butter, and heavy cream) and they become awesome food and would be called The Greatest Food On Earth.
But Southeast asian cuisine generally sucks donkey balls. Peanuts should only be eaten at a ball game, salted, and the only thick noodles the world should eat are mafaldine and the other pastas like it. Blech, with their fish head soups and kimchi. The only thing that saves Southeast asian cuisine is the French influence.
(BTW, I do say generally because I've had one or two ground meat dishes I've enjoyed at a few Thai restaurants. It is possible I am generalizing. But still... yuck.)
TheDude describing "not too hard but not to soft" fatty meat sliding down his throat really almost made me vomit.

Last time I was in Lexington I seen a panda express and stopped because I never had panda before. They were out but I got kung pow chicken that was real good.
Buffet route only for me. Plate full of rice and various chickens. Maybe some hot and sour soup or whateverTF it’s called.
The smart move is to turn-around and go get Thai/Vietnamese/Korean.. or pretty much anything other asian cuisine other than American style Chinese takeout goop.
If I'm forced, it'll be egg fried rice, dumplings, or a meat lo mein. These are admittedly pretty solid, but most of the stuff on the takeout menu is junk.
