Is there a translated Chinese/Thai menu? Does anybody really now what
Gai Kow and General Cho"s and SayTay means? I like Orange Beef and
Mongolian Beef, but hesitate to try anything else unless I know what it
is. Several times I get some basic chop suey crap that was not very
interesting. Email please.

Yes...your server is standing in front of you. Ask...unless you are
going through WongTongs Express Drivethru.

If your server can't explain your menu...they probably wouldn't get
your order right either. Ask for the manager to come to your table.

In several Chinese and Thai restaurants local to me, there's a menu for
the natives (usually daily specials), a menu for with excellent
descriptions in English that carries all the standards (Mongolian Beef,
Orange Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet-and-sour Pork) and exceptional
items, and then there's the dumbed-down, Midwesterners' Tourist menu for
ignorant bigots like you.

With better spelling, yes; and when I'm unfamiliar with a particular
dish, I ask the server about the item in question, or something from the
Native's daily menu. When I get home, or leave, I'll go look for more
information on an item in the library or online at google.com.

Because you aren't capable of imagining anything beyond the plain,
gooey, greasy crap you normally eat at places like Mr. Chao's. Best to
stay hidden under that rock you slimed out from under and pull the
shadow back down into your hole.
