    It's the opposite. Americans, especially on the west coast, use the term "chow mein" for what is properly called "lo mein".

      Maybe that's a west coast thing, but on the east coast and in the south, chow mein is usually called lo mein.

        What I'm saying is that on the west coast, the term "lo mein" isn't really used. The dish "lo mein" is served under the name "chow mein".
