I don't get it. I went with my family twice in 2 days and pretty much had everything on the menu. Not even in my top 10.

Bambu is delicious! Not Chinglish level, but can hold its own against anything else.

Kung pao chicken, crispy beef, and mongolian beef were all winners. The lunch bowls are a good value.

Chosen Island is always a solid hit
very consistent results
Yes, consistently great food. Every dish is good, and several are amazing. The general tzo is the best takeout Chinese anywhere. And also, many specialty dishes are historic to kosher Chinese that very few places still make traditionally, like Peking duck, which is superb. Even their dumplings are on another level.

The only Chinese I can buy with my hechsher restrictions:
The few Chinese options at Atza sushi bar (only the branch in Romema has a Rubin unless something changed recently), that no one seems to know sells a full fleishig menu. (Dan, they changed their menu and got a new chef about 1/2 year ago.)
I like the sesame chicken (and I can even get it without sesame - which I can't eat), the lo mein (Chop Sui is the one I get), and their broccoli side dishes.

The two types of chicken at Yoelis in Beis Yisroel (open only Thursday night) - sesame and General Tso - are also delicious.

But then again, maybe I have simple tastes and this is horrible to anyone who has gotten around. How would I know? Any haskamos on either of these from other people?
