I would second AJ... the Chinese place that i frequent told me that they don't use any starches or thickeners... it is alittle off colored from the egg and the cheese they add... so maybe if you really need to ease your mind give the restaraunt a call and ask them... but for the most part i think you made a great decision... i like to get beef and broccolli or something with bambo shoots and waterchestnuts with chicken and peapods... the posibilities are endless at a chinese food place... . if you can stay away from the crab rangoon and the egg rolls that somehow know my first middle and last name... and call me from the time i walk in to the place.. til i leave
