I love Egg Rolls and yes, a little shoyu & hot mustard is great to dip in...
Spring Rolls (Fresh or Fried) are great as well...
There's a Thai place in ANC that makes "Angel Wings"... they debone a chicken wing and stuff it with rice vermicelli noodles, pork, and some other things...
Its stuffed inside the wing and then fried- mmm... a wonton/eggroll/springroll hybrid

For those travelling to Southern Wisconsin, there is a local restaurant in a northern suburb of Milwaukee (called Fox Point) called Port China.
I grew up there, and still dream about the egg rolls they serve. Giant, filled with pork and vegetables, fried perfectly, and I am pretty sure made with a bit of peanut butter for flavor/texture.
God, I'm hungry now.

We have a local place near where I work called New Star in Elmwood Park, IL, that has the best egg rolls I have ever tasted. Same as the ones you describe from Port China. Big, moist, meaty and a touch of peanut butter flavor.
And I try Chinese restaurants in every city that I visit. I'll need to travel North to Fox Point soon too!

The same throughout China. I've never seen in China what is commonly referred to as an "egg roll" in U.S. western-style Chinese restaurants, i.e., that thick cylinder of deep fried, bubbly dough surrounding an amorphous mass of unidentifiable meat and vegetables. I have, however, enjoyed true Chinese-style spring rolls with the same insanely hot mustard that many of the western-style U.S. Chinese restaurants serve. Mmmmm -- I love that mustard!

The Chinese kind are called, I believe, "dan to" and are my favorites. The best ones are small and bite-sized and served hot from whatever they are cooked in. Yummy!
