Eggrolls and old school chinese

Dian Xin in the quarter is the best you’ll find in New Orleans

It's been awhile but Chinese Kitchen (AKA Chinese shite) on Carrolton in New Orleans.. If it's the same.. it's the real deal..

Kim Son in Gretna used to throw the frick down. And I previously lived in Boston Chinatown. Kim son could hang with those places

Sadly owner caught cancer and they closed in I believe 18

I probably shouldn’t be putting this out there on the internet, but ever since covid, I have been under the suspicion that all Chinese restaurants have started using those Pagoda egg rolls from the grocery. Not a joke. They’re all very peppery and celery-forward now. Pretty sure China Dragon even sent me the packet s&s sauce one time. If I go missing, tell my story.

Chinese Inn mid 1970s to early 1990s, Fla Blvd near Alamo Plaza, and later on Airline Hwy, under MK Wong’s ownership had huge housemade loaded Egg Rolls fried to perfection, and also a fabulous twice fried dark Pork Fried Rice..great Peking Duck, Kung Pao, huge menu,etc..

That was on par with much of the best of Grant St Chinatown SF, NYC, Port, Sea, Vanc, LV, etc..

Much like Five Happiness in Nawlins, it had a helluva run for some decades, always packed, and did monster takeout biz of huge orders.

Once his top chef retired back to Chinatown Bellaire Houston, as MK was aging out, and his kids didn’t want to carry on in the restaurant biz..

‘‘Twas over.
