Chinese Fast Food Fried Rice

I love fried rice. But like most people, I'm kind of picky about the foods I eat. I've noticed that differnet Chinese fast food places around town have different "styles" or "schools" of fried rice.


1. Hard, yellow rice, onions, carrots, peas, meat. Double Dragon at Goss, China One on Eastern Parkway at Preston.

2. Soft white rice, onions, sprouts, eggs, meat. Bamboo house on Poplar Level

3. Soft white and brown rice, onions, meat. Shanghai on Fifth near Chestnut.

I used to go to Shanghai 3-4 times a month, just to get their fried rice. However, they either closed, were bought out, or something. They've changed.

And with easily 30+ chinese resturants in Louisville, I can't really visit them all to see if their rice is like Shanghai's was.

Anyone have any idea of where I can go to get my favorite rice?

How about Great Wall on lower Brownsboro, by the "dirty" Krogers? Everything I've had there is good!!!

Simply Thai's fried rice actually sounds pretty close - sort of white & pale brown with lots of stuff in it. It's relatively dry, so even the "rice in curry sauce" should really be called fried rice with curry seasoning, but they have a more standard seasoned fried rice also (and I think a total of around 3-4 fried rice dishes). Their menu is on-line - check it out.

It's not "fast food" but Fuji (Springhurst) makes awesome fried rice. I get it to-go all the time...
