Chowmeinery is a dated, informal American term for a Chinese restaurant, coined in the early twentieth century when chow mein was one of the most familiar Chinese-American dishes in the United States. The word has a fond, slightly comedic quality, evoking a simpler time when the chow mein was the whole menu.
