Gem of India, Springfield, MO. I love the lunch buffet, but I get the lamb saag when I go there for dinner. I would eat there weekly if I had the funds.
I grew up in Detroit, and my favorite restaurant in the world is the Chopstick Inn in Riverview. It's just this small, family-owned Chinese restaurant, but they have the best food ever, and it's under $10. Their egg drop soup is the best I've had. I actually don't like any other egg drop soup. It's extremely rich, thick, and creamy. Their egg rolls are about double the size of anywhere else, and they have lots of veggies, my favorite of which is the sprouts. My favorite entree is the lop chop lo mein, which is a noodle dish with egg, chicken, shrimp, and lots of veggies. The meal with a cup of soup and egg roll is about $8.50. I pay an extra $1 to upgrade to a giant bowl of soup and am usually full by the time the entree gets there. I eat just a little bit of the entree and then have it for two more full meals.
