i'm not sure if they have Panda Express (or any other corporate crap chinese fast food joint) in your area, but if they do have them stay away at all costs. the food there is crap! I can't even believe they would call it chinese food (freakin eh at the located at my campus, they are now serving sushi rolls along with orange chicken. Authentic cooking right there.
Usually if you go to a "Asian" place, don't go to ones that do like 3 different types of cuisines I.e. chinese/japanese/korean. It would be better to go ot a restaurant that specialized in one area's cuisine.
if you are ever in an ethiopian restaurant, try the honey wine. Hehe, ethiopian food is ok but the wine is fantastic. Beautiful honey after taste.
note to you wino's: it's a sweet wine, with no acidity. And i don't think it's made from grapes. So don't go bagging on me if you try this wine and was expecting some bone dry wine.
If you want to try an awesome chinese dish get this "homestyle eggplant with garlic sauce" not all chinese restaurants are going to have this (you'll probably have better luck finding it in a sit down restaurant).
*rant* I hate the way that Chinese food has been translated to death in English( i can't think of any other cuisine that has been butchered to this extent), everything sounds either crazy like black fungus with beef or sounds extremely generic like the above mentioned homestyle eggplant with garlic sauce. I wish Chinese food was untranslated like other ethnic cuisines, for example like pho, sushi, taco etc. I prefer knowing the name of the food in it's original language and then finding out what constitutes it's ingredients, rather than having the name of the dish just be a summary of the ingredients.
i.e.
tamales = cool
broccoli and beef = not cool
*end rant*
i do realize that the numerous number of chinese dialects may complicate things, but most of the chinese food you encounter when eating out is probably mandarin-sichuan, or cantonese seafood house styles.
