In the midwest and east coast what they call lo mein is referred to as chow mein on the west coast?

It's just mee goreng. Mee is just another spelling for mein (noodles). Goreng = fried. Stir fried carbs are a staple in East/South East Asia.

The big difference is that chow mein is dryer and lo mein is saucier. A restaurant calling something lo or chow mein means nothing.

>>21957759
why are the restaraunt chinks so FEISTY when you ask them to explain the difference between lo mein and chow mein?
>>
Chow mein is stir fried and lo mein is not. The latter is cooked separate and tossed into a greasy wok of stir fried meat and veges.

Had everyone that references this movie seen it or are they all referencing the commercials/trailers?

I don't know why they call it that. No one in China calls chow mein chow mein or lo mein lo mein.
