"I ordered the curry chicken combo. I usually shy away from curries at express restaurants, but I had a craving for some curry today, so here I was. A quick note: why is it so difficult to make a good curry? It’s essentially just coconut milk and curry paste. The curry at China Bear was, like many express places, overly reliant on cheap curry powder. It had the sharp spicy kick typical of curry, but it lacked the sweetness that makes a “good” curry stand out. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but I think I’ll stick to more traditional Indian and Thai restaurants for my curry fix.
Now, moving on—the fried rice was pleasantly sticky and had the nice nutty flavor I expected, and the combo included a satisfying egg roll. Will I return? Yes, but I’ll skip the curry this time and try something else. I noticed that the reviews for China Bear were very mixed—some people loved it, while others were quite critical. The staff was friendly, and the food I saw others enjoying looked appealing. Some of the reviews seemed a bit hard to believe, so I think a second visit is in order, and I’m just the person to make that happen!
P.S. I’ll be sure to take more photos next time!"
