Point me in the direction of some good chinese food in grand forks

ZUKO · March 24th, 2007, 18:26

I am starting to have cravings.

ZUKO · March 24th, 2007, 18:32

Anyone tried China Garden or Hunan Chinese.

This review reminded me of Jace.

We just moved back home to Grand Forks from California. If you're looking for GREAT chinese food this is it! Mongolian beef/pork, crab rangoons, and everything we've tried are excellent.

China garden and the great wall are the best around here.

because of health code issues, if i'm not mistaken, that place got shut down for a period of time when foxcow and i were seniors. either that or we just stopped going there because our friend found something not very nice in his food. i can't remember.

i do recall trying to steal the box of fortune cookies by the door one night and finding out the hard way that it was attached to a chair....thwarted.

China Garden is probably the best Grand Forks has to offer. Hunan closed, didn't it?

UAL747400 · March 24th, 2007, 23:33

That or it moved. It's not in the location it was during fall of 2004.

Hunan changed owners thus the Name changed to Dragon Buffet.. same people there and all, but they cut out their lunch time deal, as i found out one day, and then they completely closed a little while later, it was my favorite place for Chinese ... too bad they closed, however everytime i went there it was pretty empty.

Sometimes when I go eat at Chinese restaurants and order sweet and sour chicken or pork or barbeque beef, or any other dish for that matter, the dish they serve has way more vegetables and other stuff that I do not want. I order sweet and sour chicken and I expect to get breaded chicken with the sauce. I don't want other things I didn't order that ruin the food. The best kind of rice ever has to be pork fried rice and is the only kind I will ever eat.

I like Panda Buffet for mongolian bbq.

Screaming_Emu · March 25th, 2007, 01:23

All I know is that my roomie and I got china garden once. He couldn't eat all his so he brought it home. It was in the fridge for maybe 2 days at the most, but the fridge stank like whatever he got permanently, even if you cleaned it.

Doug Taylor · March 25th, 2007, 01:32

It's the monounsaturated monkey oil they use to deep fry with.

See, that's what I told my roomie, but he wouldn't believe me. He thought it was dog oil, but then it would be Korean

Bulgogi is ok. Bulkaki is something else entirely different!

JaceTheAce · March 25th, 2007, 04:03

There is no good Chinese food in Grand Forks.

End of story.

Looks like GF locals who moved to California but couldn't stand the heat in the kitchen so they got out LOL (kinda like when locals move to Minneapolis and they can't handle living there so they move back... *oh jees, the traffic in Minneapolis is oh fer scary der donchya know!*)

I am very very nervous about having to drive in Anchorage

That is going to be some seriously scary driving after Haines.

Stinger · April 6th, 2007, 20:57

Does anyone have a menu from the China Garden or another Chinese restaurant to either post on here or send me? I'm thinking of having Chinese delivered on Sunday since all the dining centers are closed.

TXaviator · April 6th, 2007, 20:58

woot woot getting thai food tonight in SLC.

JaceTheAce · April 7th, 2007, 02:50

AngelFuree and I just got back from Fargo in the Seminole. We intended to go to Yuki Hana for sushi, but we took off 50 minutes late from Grand Forks because it's apparently the middle of January still here. We needed an EPU start since the engine was so damn cold... heavy winds gusting directly into the engine cowling. Wonderful! So we arrived into Fargo 5 minutes before Yuki Hana closed their kitchen for the night... so we had to revert to Olive Garden. Not too bad I guess. The flight was lots of fun!
