- Boy...you guys are a hard crowd! :)
- I didn't think the Chinese restaurants on Castro were that bad.
-
- Just one block east of Castro on Dana, (I think) is Lotus Garden.
- I like their Wor Mein. Don't order Wor WonTon Mein; the wontons
- are tasteless. And we ask them to make Prawns Say Jupe (that's how you pronounce it, definately not how you spell it!) over fun noodles.
- Pretty good. I like their pot stickers too.
-
- We go to Kirin for Pepper Salted Prawns, kinda french fried prawns,
- salty and spicey, with onions, usually not too oily. Great with
- white rice. They've changed their decore so at least it *looks* nicer.
-
- I'll put in another vote for Hunan Gourmet. I've only been there for
- dinner but it was very good. We had this green bean dish with crumbled
- ground pork in it and something else that made it salty all in some sort of
- brown sauce. It was memorable. I realize the name of the dish would help,
- sorry. :)
-
- And we go to Hong Kong Bakery for Dim Sum (take-out). Great Hau-Gau,
- Yu-Chi Gau, and baked BBQ pork buns
-
- So.. two more questions...
-
- If Castro chinese is soooo baaaad, where *are* there good chinese
- restaurants in the vicinity?
-
- And speaking of tasteless wontons, where can I get taste*ful* wontons?
