Chinese Food Is High-Slop Takeout — Order Smart

Generic Chinese takeout promises comfort but delivers industrial seed-oil sludge in massive portions.

July 25, 2026 About Chinese Food

General Tso's is just candy-coated chicken in canola.

The Take

Chinese Food clocks in at 88 slop. Skip the fried classics and demand steamed chicken or shrimp with broccoli plus sauce on the side if you must go.

Everything else is soybean and canola in the wok, sweet sauces loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, and long additive lists for simple proteins.

Demand modifications or stay home. This is seed-oil takeout on autopilot with zero quality control.

Slop Score: 88

No. Default woks and fryers use soybean and canola oil while sauces add HFCS and additives.

Yes. Most spots run everything through soybean or canola unless you ask otherwise.

General Tso's, egg rolls, fried rice, and anything labeled crispy.
