yes, a variety of spring roll, not egg roll, and they shouldn't be used interchangeably, but since the mom and pop chinese places got tired of making egg rolls, and found that buying the frozen lumpia pre made, and selling them as egg rolls worked out well for them, the true egg roll has become almost extinct. they're are places you can find them, but they are few and far between, and never in a million years would i have thought something so perfect could simply be dissapeared. it's a tragedy.

If they're selling frozen anything it's going to be crap. (You know frozen egg rolls exist, right?)

Any restaurant making from frozen, especially pre-packaged frozen, is going to be shit whether it's an "authentic" egg roll or a spring roll. Stop buying from shit restaurants entirely.
