do you prefer cheap chinese to fancy chinese? when I lived in manhattan there was a nice sichuan place I frequented, but I heard it sucks now. Here in pittsburgh my favorite chinese places are all extremely cheap. The once that try to be nice have much worse food. this is in contrast with other foods, where the cheapest usually makes me pretty unhappy. Maybe it's all about striking gold by finding some random immigrant family who set up shop and are culinary geniuses. *typed with one hand, the other holding chopsticks* cheap japanese usually sucks, cheap thai usually sucks.. |

I slaughter anyone who attempts to discuss "cheap chinese girls". You can think of me as "stalin". |

I have never had 'fancy chinese' and i guess i don't have a refined taste for it because i will eat, as the sign reads "CHINA MENU BUFFET" for $7.50, no prob. Actually I only went there two or three times during the summer. It was air conditioned and had tinted windows, set back from the street by about 30 feet. At the tables by the windows you could hear a low frequency sound from the ventilation, or more feel the pressure since it was under audible frequency. |

Oh I forgot to mention it was very soundproofed, you could not hear traffic outside at all. |

I'm scared of buffets, usually. my current favorite restaurant is taiwanese, and my meals average $17 there. another classification of restaurants that's usual a good indicator for me is whether the manager/owner is an active chef. There are two somewhat pricey places near me with good food "presentation" (which makes me hate life.. seriously spend your time improving the taste) and poor taste. They are quite popular.. some tool owns both and only cares about hiring pretty waitresses, having expensive lighting, trendy music, and leaving cents off of prices in the menu. i fucking hate people. |

will you marry me? I own two thousand acres of land, half of which are for my oil fields, and the other half to oil my penis. |

I'm going to spend the rest of my life designing the ultimate computer chip that will be infinitely replicated and used in every gizmo imaginal before that dormant 'appetite for human flesh' virus I secretly programmed into it springs into life in all of them. |

i prefer to have a decent (~£25) chinese every few months than a shite takeaway for less than a fiver every few days. |

I prefer Thai to chinese. As Ezkerraldean says, I prefer a good sit down meal every now and then to a greasy takeaway every week. That said, there are some good cheap chinese restaurants near me. |

9 out of ten take away is bad. Ive had one really good one. Its in the Italian district in Boston. Ironic. I remember they give a bread roll with your meal. Expensive Chinese is usually pretty good. What I prefer now is Thai food. Its like Chinese but cleaner, cooler, and a wider array of flavors. Cashew chicken is basically a better version of General Tso's chicken. Did I mention cleaner? |

I struck luck in the immigrant/culinary genius department. There is a chinese just up the road from me that is superb. tastes like real chinese food as opposed to the crap you get 90% of the time. Thai food is nice, I prefer chinese but I hear thai is cleaner. |

That's my feeling, Thai is like an RDJ remix of Chinese food. Thai Curries in particular PWN! chinese ones, by and large. |

|
thai food has a very fresh/inventive use of spices, agreed. HOWEVER I recommend sichuan cuisine, my favorite chinese food. When I get expensive chinese, it's always sichuan. |

BY THE WAY, no one read anything I said again. my POINT was: in my experience, wherever I've lived, there existed a cheap chinese place which EXCELLED the quality of expensive chinese places within the say area under consideration. going to get me some cheap, DELICIOUS, chinese food. |

"same area under consideration" |

where have you lived? |

I'll admit I haven't sampled many places, and in nyc (do you still live there?) my favorite was "grand sichuan", which had a few locations (I only tried the hell's kitchen one). this example DEFEATS my argument. in pittsburgh though, it seems to be the case. I've heard the place isn't as good any more. have you been there? |

I am not suCh a big fan of Chinese or Thai, though they have one or two dishes that I love. Indian is pretty muCh all the Asian food I eat, but I eat a LOT of Indian food. (My Chinese teaCher Claims that you Cannot get any deCent Chinese food outside of New York, and that the Cheap stuff is all Crap) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't been there sneak. There is such a shortage of decent Indian food in the usa. I wish people would demand it more. Nothing like good spicy curry. |
