In the nutrition wars, it's not even worth wasting a sentence on how useless white rice is compared to brown. So...please. Give me some Chinese restaurants that serve brown rice. Other Asian restaurants, too...(I can find vegetarian places on my own, and I'm not vegetarian. If you haven't tried the nutty sweetness of brown rice with twice-cooked Hunan pork, you haven't lived.) Thanks.

However, the Rice Garden on Washington Street in Brookline does (as many have reported here, the food there is great- highly recommended all the way around). Mon Aug 02 20:21:11 -0700 2004 797526 0 TalismanGirl 1 797532 I also like brown rice, but its availability is hit and miss, because it is the very neutrality and whiteness of white rice that is fairly fundamental in many cuisines. Mon Aug 02 21:20:58 -0700 2004 797526 0 Karl S. 1 797533 Bamboo on Commonwealth Ave. in Brighton (just above Washington St.) serves brown rice. This is a very good Thai and pan-Asian restaurant. Mon Aug 02 21:45:49 -0700 2004 797526 0 FoonFan 1 797534 In Cambridge, both of these places on Mass. Ave. serve brown rice (I'm also a fan who also recently moved from SF :)): Chang Sho - Chinese Tamarind House - Thai Mon Aug 02 21:57:28 -0700 2004 797526 0 hoover 2 797545 Brown Sugar (Thai) on Comm Ave. in Allston and Jersey St. in the Fenway has it. Tue Aug 03 08:33:26 -0700 2004 797534 0 Joanie 1 797551 Island Hopper (it's sorta pan-asian) on Mass Ave lets you choose either white or brown rice to go with their dishes, at no extra cost. Tue Aug 03 09:36:39 -0700 2004 797526 0 delikado 1 797558 Shangri-La in Belmont has brown rice. Many mentions and reviews on this board.
