Golden Chef is our favorite place for carryout -- good food, close to
home.

They can even adapt if you don't want MSG or lots of salt on your food.

Golden Chef Vegetarian is located on Packard, a bit south of Stadium,
two buildings south of Big 10 Party Store. They're vegetarian at dinner;
both veggie and non-veggie foods are available at lunchtime. Their lunches
are an excellent deal: under $5 for soup and a neato tray of your entree,
rice, egg roll, fruit, and a fortune cookie. And all the tea you can drink.
Yummy! :)

I wonder how they stay open - there are hardly ever more than a couple
of cars in the parking lot. We've eaten there, and it was never
crowded. The *simulated* meats are really interesting.

I wonder this too. Sometimes it crowds up at lunchtime, but probably not
enough for them to rake in enough bucks to stay open.

Last nite, I had a chance to sample Dinersty for myself, being the
cynic that I am. Dinner was Moo goo gai pan, plus 2 shrimp rolls. Everything
was just as Danr said, excellent. The food was even hot when I arrived
home 10 minutes later.
The quart size was huge, and made for 2 nice meals. I highly recommend it

I've heard good and bad things about Dinersty. Guess it needs to be
tried before making a judgment...

Food is good, but hiring practices are totally RACIST!

You mean just because they have a Chinese-Speaking requirement?
That's linguistic, not racist.
I think their food's OK, but there are a lot better places around.
They're cheap though.

I don't care if they speak Martian, the food is good. Leave well
enough alone. You know what happens when someone who knows something
tries to change something.

I don't believe they have that requirement any more. Indeed, the last
couple of times I've been in there, I saw a young, white guy behind
the counter. He even sports a nose ring! He might speak Chinese, but
I've never seen him do so.

The Golden Chef (predominantly vegetarian) Chinese restaurant on Packard
is now called Chia Shiang. Gone is the prominent 'Vegetarian Chinese
restaurant' label from the new sign, but luckily, they still have many of the
same fake-flesh dishes, suitable for members of the lacto-ovo vegetarian
community.
The biggest change seems to simply be in the name of the place. The
same people work there, same decorations, etc. inside, but there's an
increased presence of available flesh for members of the (evil)
carnivore/omnivore community.

Actually, they used to be vegan-style vegetarian, not ovo-lacto-vegetarian,
up until the time they went omnivorous. When they went omnivorous, one of
the new things on the menu was egg drop soup. I asked one of the waitresses
if it was vegetarian, and she explained to me that she wouldn't personally
eat it because of the eggs, but other than the eggs it's vegetarian. So,
until recently, they were actually stricter veg than either of us, Tim.

That was quite obvious to anyone who looked at the menu. My prior response
was speaking as a member of the lacto-ovo vegetarian community, hence, my focus
on LOV...

In comparing their current take-out menu to one of theirs from about a
year ago, they have also lowered a good deal of their prices.
Some items that used to be $7.95 are now $6.95, etc.

I would like to nominate my favorite Chinese restaurant, Evergreen which
is in the Plymouth rd mall. Nice people, good food, they deliver but it's a
little slow, but worth the wait. My personal favorite is Mongolian Beef, easy
on the spices.
I grew up eating nothing but chop suey, and chow mein, but you know, I
really don't miss it. BTW, Bejing has chop suey when I'm in the mood.

Jim -- you might want to go nominate it in the walk item, rather than here.
Dadroc is more likely to see it there.

I almost never go on walks, so it would be unfair to nominate a restaurant.
I was just expressing my pleasure with the folks at Evergreen.
