I’m just gonna say it, there is no good Chinese food here RANT
I have been here almost 3 years. Have tried so many place from Piedmont, Powdersville, Mauldin , Simpsonville, and Greenville. There is no good Chinese takeout food. I’ve been on fb foodie post trying their recommendations… trash. It till the point I crave it so much, but I know it gonna be barely decent and a waste of money. First of all, fried rice in the upstate is weird, it just soy sauce mix with streamed white rice. I can’t even tell if it fried or not. First time I thought it was brown rice. Second, some place don’t even have crab rangoon but instead “cheesy fried wontons”. Third, before I order I look at the google pictures and they don’t even match not even close. Once I ordered black pepper chicken and on the website with photos it was fried then I ordered it was boiled chicken. I just want some good Chinese food. So now I’m here, so please help me not waste money. BTW I’m from north Indiana if that’s help.
What I usually get is
Crab rangoons
Fried dumplings
Beef fried rice
Black pepper chicken
Shrimp mei fun
Bourbon chicken
Sweet and sour chicken
P.S People who give recommendations for food, but post screenshots of the website and not actually what they got is very annoying. Like the ones post saying they went there and posting the food they got and random ones on the website, doesn’t make sense.
Thank you for reading this long post. If I ever find a good Chinese food here, I’ll be forever grateful.🥹
Edit: Fourth thing lots of Chinese have really good reviews like too good, but all the recently ones saying they were good but not anymore and one stars, so please give me a recent recommendation.
