Travel: Discount Chinese Food in East San Diego
San Diego’s East County is a haven for cheap hotels and homes, but many of the restaurants are only sub par, especially their Chinese and Japanese food. Enter P.G. King Chinese Cuisine. P.G.’s is a tiny restaurant in the heart of San Diego’s La Mesa community. The food takes a little influence from south of the border and the resulting Chinese food with a touch of Mexican flair is truly fantastic.

I highly recommend ordering one of their dinner specials, which includes soup, fried or steamed rice, an egg roll and a cream cheese wonton. This massive combination will end up costing you under $7.50 per person. The egg roll will, unfortunately, be the low point of the meal, as they have not quite perfected the filling yet.
On the upside, the rest of your meal will be excellent. The hot & sour soup is quite good and all of the main courses are superb. Some of my personal favorites are the spicy honey chicken, the imperial shrimp and the tangerine beef, however, don’t limit your order to one of those three on my account.
The highlight of the meal is definitely their unique cream cheese wonton. These little pockets of heaven have a slight touch of pineapple, giving them the most exquisite and delightful taste of any wonton I have ever had. It’s a great idea to order an extra plate of these to go after your meal, so you have little pieces of dessert for the rest of the night. Six of these beauties will only run you $4.25, so it is well worth it.
