Is Chinese food good? Tell me what you order. My town finally got a Chinese restaurant. I think we had one years ago but it was shut down due to some health issue. I am going to order some for the first time ever but I feel I am going to feel silly since it will probably be 90 percent rice 10 percent good stuff. Does restaurant rice at least taste better than the microwave shit? Only Chinese food I had before was some microwave SHIT!

if it is the first Chinese restaurant in your town, it will most likely be very americanized and not a very realistic representation of authentic Chinese food. That being said, American Chinese food is itself a genre of food, and it does a few things very well.
Like this poster said: >>34319257 this type of thing is very good. Breaded, with a bit of sauce, together with rice creates a great eating experience. A similar dish would be Orange Chicken. Kung Pao chicken is also a solid choice, as are green beans, hot and sour or egg drop soup, and beef with brocolli.
Enjoy it, OP. And maybe this will introduce you to a whole new world of food.
orange beef sesame chicken generel tsos chicken rice.
so fucking good, probably better than pizza for delivery but you need a plate and fork so idk.

Delicious imo. I go about once a month.
Do you have any poke restaurants in your area? Those are my favorite Asian/Islander restaurants

AW SHIT NO MAN
General tso's or Sesame chicken are safe bets. Its pretty much fried chicken tendies with sauce. Lo mein is also a good choice if you want a noodle type dish.
Also you dont have to worry about portion sizes, its more like 50% rice 50% other stuff, always enough to fill me up + have leftovers.
And yes, its MUCH better than a microwaved meal, even the worst chinese places are.

American-Chinese is essentially god-tier fast food.
Actual Chinese is something you either like or hate. Lots of strong tastes.
