    Chego: It's More than Just a Rice Bowl

    Roy Choi recently relocated his Westside rice bowl concept, Chego , to Chinatown. The new digs once belonged to the original Mandarin Deli, where Angeleno's were first introduced to hand pulled noodles in the 1970's. Jonathan Gold is a fan of Choi's enormous flavor-bomb rice bowls.

    Roy Choi recently relocated his Westside rice bowl concept, Chego, to Chinatown. The new digs once belonged to the original Mandarin Deli, where Angeleno's were first introduced to hand pulled noodles in the 1970's. Jonathan Gold is a fan of Choi's enormous flavor-bomb rice bowls. He recommends the sour cream hen house bowl, kung pau noodle bowl, ooey gooey fries and the squish and destroy sandwich.
