Kosher Chinese in the Bay Area
I am Jewish, though I do not keep kosher. That said I grew up going to a religious elementary school and high school. Many afternoons in high school we would leave early (cough cough) and go get kosher chinese food in Manalapan or Deal New Jersey. Was it the best chinese food - not really - but for my kosher friend's and for me to an extent it was glorious - it was exotic. In NYC you have kosher chinese everywhere but I hadn't expected to find any in SF. But there is a place - Shangri-La Vegetarian Restaurant. I can't wait to go. I wonder if they serve french fries?
