When I am after lo mein in San Diego, the list above is where I start. It is already filtered toward lo mein, so it is easy to compare ratings, hours, and photos and pick the bowl you actually want โ or switch to the map and tap "Use my location" to sort the same list by distance.
Great lo mein comes down to wok technique โ soft, lightly sauced noodles with a faint charred "wok hei" aroma. This map is filtered to the Chinese restaurants and noodle houses near you most likely to serve it well.
My approach is simple: I favor shops that specialize rather than do a little of everything, and I trust a strong rating that holds up across plenty of reviews over a perfect score from just a few. In San Diego, I open a couple of listings, skim the most recent reviews and the photos, and go with the bowl that looks carefully made. The map keeps everything sorted by distance, so you are never trading quality for a long drive.

Lo mein noodles are boiled then tossed with sauce for a soft, silky texture. Chow mein noodles are pan-fried, so some strands turn crisp.
Shrimp, beef, and chicken are the most common and reliable choices at most Chinese restaurants.
