anothertorres Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) what region of chinese cuisine? Edited May 28, 2010 by anothertorres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunta71 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I am following this as Chinese food from any region is way up on the top of my list. UG turned me on to a good chinese place in CNX but in Pattaya I have yet to find an authentic chinese restaurant. Talking with a manager at a very large and usually empty Chinese restaurant on the north side of Pattaya Nua, he explained that in Thailand almost all of them adjust their food to the Thai palate. This means that all dishes, even fried rice are inundated with chilies and therefore the taste of the food is covered up with the chilies in typical Thai style. You would think that with all the Chinese businessmen here that there would be some good stuff.Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Try the Chinese place in The Montien Hotel on 2nd Rd, very good but fairly pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphodbeeblebrox Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 There's also Leng Kee (not very authentic) and Chinese restaurants in the Marriot and Dusit Thani. The Marriot's restaurant is good, but pricey, and the Dusit Thani has some good dim sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tejas Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 The Siam Bay group hotel at the end of Walkin Street has a fine restaurant complete with hanging Peking Duck. How would that one be price-wise? Expensive.............it is odd, to say the least, that not one person has introduced American-style Chinese food to Thailand. Yes, it is not easy to make............Thai food is very easy to make in comparison. But it can be done. I think there are a lot of expats--from both sides of the pond--that would flock to a good American-style Chinese restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 There was a "European style" Chinese restaurant on soi Bukeaw - near soi Diana - a few years ago that seemed to be doing well. They had the same dishes as in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners of the hotel are Thai Chinese with the emphasis on Chinese. It is not cheap but if you know what you want, it's well prepared and worth the effort.

anothertorres Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 you guys keep saying "chinese" but, most of Pattaya's chinese restaurants are Szechuan. what this town really needs is a Cantonese-based restaurant. anyone know of any Cantonese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gguy Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 never found a reasonable (200 to 300 b per meal) chinese rest. hotel food at fancy resorts very expensive. thais do not like chinese. probably same reason as no mass mexican food rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the Chinese restaurants mentioned in this thread serves Szechuan regional cuisine. I wish they did. I've only been to the restaurant in the Dusit, and that was Hong Kong style.

Utterlyuseful Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Flock to American style Chinese food?????? Sorry but I disagree and would fly in the opposite direction! Most of it has been watered down to a bland taste to suit the local palate…..not to mention the big gloppy tasteless mystery sauce covering everything….the fried rice is not very tasty compared to Thai….and few fresh veggies to boot! I would take authentic Chinese any day over this! The Siam Bay group hotel at the end of Walkin Street has a fine restaurant complete with hanging Peking Duck. How would that one be price-wise? Expensive.............it is odd, to say the least, that not one person has introduced American-style Chinese food to Thailand.

Ulysses G. Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Flock to American style Chinese food?????? Sorry but I disagree and would fly in the opposite direction! Have you ever had Chinese food in New York or San Francisco? It tastes much like in Singapore or Hong Kong - but with some different dishes - and is nothing like you describe. We are not talking about Chinese food in Wheeling West Virginia. We are talking about the good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tejas Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I get the feeling you have never eaten at a really good American-Chinese place Interesting comments about vegetables and sauces. What I like most about American-style Chinese food is its wonderful sauces..........so many.......so delicious. And I like the fact that many dishes use very fresh vegetables.............and lots of them. Having lived in China, I know that many dishes are short on vegetables............mostly meat (especially up north). Whatever, we all have an opinion. I still maintain that a really good (great sauces and fresh vegetables and meats) American-style Chinese place will be a huge hit in Thailand. It is certainly a franchise concept that has yet to be exploited. Thais would likely ruin it though and turn the food into tasteless Thai food..........with almost no vegetables and sauces.

zaphodbeeblebrox Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 There are thousands of good Chinese restaurants in the States, but since you are the guy singing the praises of Subway sandwiches on another thread, your opinion should be taken with a rather large grain of salt.
