Best fried rice

So where's the best fried rice in they city? Can be hole-in-the-wall or a fancy Asian fusion joint.

    Ping's has this great fried rice dish with tiny fish and raisins on greaseless rice. Very yummy.

      Usually I get plain white rice for those rice plates in Chinatown, but at New Malaysian restaurant the fried rice that comes with the pork chops are often full of wok-flavor. Very tasty.
      Another fried rice that stood out for me was from Sripraphai, though I would never had thought to order that there.

        The Golden egg fried rice at Congee VIllage is delicious.

          Glad to see the chahan at Sapporo get its' due. It is my order of choice there, and has singlehandedly renewed my faith in fried rice. Maybe it's the shards of red ginger they splay across the top... To respond to the Chanoodle query, I recently got the Silver and Gold variation for take out, brought it all the way back to Queens where it withstood the take home test after a few hours. My take was, it's quite good of its' kind, lots of moist chunks of this and that, and far less greasy than you might expect, but hardly mind blowing. I would recommend it as being an exemplary, above-average version of what you've had in the past. Well worth checking out, yeah - its' rewards may be based on adjusted expectations. That, and a ferocious, clawing desire to scarf some fried rice lest you die trying.

            The fried rice at Chanoodle got a great review in the NYTimes but I have yet to try it.

              Yup, another vote for the chahan @ Sapporo. And I even think the vegetarian version is great.

                    Hagi, the pub downstairs from Sapporo (same owner), also does a nice version of this.

                    In Chinatown, Noodletown makes tasty fried rice with broccoli, egg and cubes of lop cheung-like "preserved pork"; everything's prepped with care and there's little if any soy sauce.
