Jade Garden
1410 Kasold Drive
$3.25
This place is like a fast food restaurant for Chinese food. The food comes out in about two minutes, but it tastes just like a $3 meal. The shrimp are too squishy and too small. The rice, on the other hand, is not too greasy and tastes fine.
Two stars
Thai House
724 Massachusetts St.
$11.20
This place is definitely expensive compared to other Asian restaurants in Lawrence. An interesting thing about the fried rice here is that you can choose how spicy you want the rice to be. The meal has all kinds of ingredients in it including onions, eggs, tomatoes and cucumbers. The shrimp are big and grilled to perfection. Still, it doesn’t taste good enough to justify the price.
Four stars
China House
4821 W. 6th St.
Medium: $4.05 Large: $6.65
The fried rice only has rice and shrimp. The shrimp are so small that there’s hardly a few seconds of chewing before they’re gone. The only appealing thing about this dish is a huge crunchy eggroll that comes out with the fried rice.
Two stars
Thai Siam
601 S. Kasold Drive
$6.50
Reasonable price and perfect shrimp! The shrimp are well-balanced between crunchiness and juiciness. The mouth-watering taste of rice is just the perfect match for the grilled shrimps. It’s worth to sitting in one of those tiny tables.
Five stars
