chinese in manhattan is on another level

Lunch special was like 6 bucks you got a massive amount of food. Straight out the wok. With drink.

The lil tupperware trays are DEEP. 2x normal chinese takeout trays over there.

I wonder if my spot still around after covid. Goat chinese general tsos i ever had. Crispy. Real crunch. Not chewey n soft.

Nah, just about any food, especially anything internationl in NYC is top notch. Had Korean BBQ for the first time a couple months ago. just

The meat in these Western-Chinese places is always hella dry and nothing like proper roasted duck/pork or char siew.

That meat was tender and wasn’t dry. Only issue is that rice needed something. Duck sauce woulda got it done

It’s a whole street (32d st) with mad Korean BBQ spots. You don’t even know which one to pick

The OFFICIAL official China time is mad deep into queens at the last 7 train stop. Flushing is really under CCP jurisdiction

those take out only joints are a big no.

Half the East coast FBA population wouldn’t have survived the 90s/00s if that was the case.

Patronize your neighborhood takeout and they look out for you plus they all eat their food that’s a myth.

They eat their traditional dishes, not necessarily what’s on the menu.

They tell you things like that once you get to know them.

Their kids will be eating the traditional dishes doing homework and taking orders at the same time.

I always track great value restaurants like that. LA got a few Mexican spots like that. Although a little pricier, Hawaiian food is another one quality food and large proportion.

I mainly cook my own food now, but that definitely looked like a legit bargain.

They key to Chinese food is to prepare it at home..
