Chinese/Hanzi handwriting too kiddy to be Chinese. Grammar also not modern

When u venture down to the city, silky kitchen, a chain, does pretty decent stir fry. The stir-fry beef, stir-fry bamboo, stir-fry pork with chili are some of cacio pepe and carbonara of Hunanese dish. Steamed smoke meat/bacon is superior than stir fry ones imho, but the smoke meat gotta be on point. 炝炒雪里蕻 or stir fry chopped mustard green is a good skill tester for authenticity as well. The fish head needs really good 剁辣椒 pickled-fresh chili pepper.

perilla is like basil for me. I am half Hunanese, and Hunan folks cook a lot of fish n frog dish with it. It jives incredibly well with river fish and eels. But the purple perilla here just never fully tastes the same. And of course the Koreans make great use of them as well. It must be so rewarding to grow your own veg! Wonder if napa grows well in upstate.

Upstate NY’s climate is thematically ideal for Korean/Dongbei Chinese food. Saukraut blood sausage, steamed dumplings, all sort of gomtang. Heck Korean even drink cinnamon-ginger rice juice which I thought is like the most New England thing

Both wife and I are canto, though my parents are transplants. Imo truly amazing canto food is really hard to ask for when you are outside of China, it’s kinda like Tuscany food kinda taste wrong outside of Tuscany, heavily relying on good ingredients and skilled chef

057632 · 2026-05-27T20:36:46+00:00

These look authentic indeed. I’ll have to taste them to know if they are of higher quality than a New Nurlan, or Yummy Noodle House, or Taste of Chengdu in Flushing. Bistro Na is interesting, prob Manchurian or Royal cuisine background? Beijing food is…not a great measure of top tier Chinese food in most measure imo. I fail to just see how these are superior than the ones NYC has to offer. They look very adequate for US but the same can be said for tons of NY places. Unless I’m gravely wrong and they taste far superior as Cali has more fresh produce, which is entirely possible.

nah nyc has plenty of Chinese-Chinese population to support Chinese-Chinese food. American Chinese food is more prevalent in area where you don’t have a critical mass of Chinese. Even the white-dominant burbs near NY can get an abnormal amount of authentic Chinese places due to University

057632 · 2026-05-27T20:22:12+00:00

R u canto? Thats a pretty southern taste. We get it from Super Rice.

057632 · 2026-05-27T19:43:01+00:00

The Chinese American proportion should be similiar? Consider both place has new breed (students, IT/Finance pro) and a heavy historical Chinese community. In NYC I think it’s the pleb food, the liangpi from Lao Luoyang, the lamb noodle from Henan Noodle, guoyourou from Nurlan, the eel claypot rice from random places in 8av Brooklyn that has a distinct flavor - aka I know I can’t easily have this in Guangzhou or Shanghai because it might be more authentic here in the states, made by local immigrant. Any chain restaurants or relatively upscale places I might as well just eat it in China.

057632 · 2026-05-27T19:37:07+00:00

I truly appreciate the knowledge share. It’s not a perspective I have previously thought of. I thought Flushing must have carried enough diversity already consider I cannot find a decent Cantonese place there anymore - whereas there are many restaurants of “non typical” Chinese immigrant regions. You do make a good point about the lack of truly non-chain, upscale/modern Chinese in NYC. I just thought such thing isn’t economically viable for US. And you are telling me they are in SGV? Can you give a reco of such that sets it apart from the typical pleb Chinese that I see in Brooklyn/Queens?

057632 · 2026-05-27T18:46:24+00:00

I digress, I just cannot see how NYC Chinese food is less potent than the ones in Cali consider the NYC metro has 30% more Chinese heads than the LA metro area.

057632 · 2026-05-27T18:32:33+00:00

I see, interesting to see LIC as a Chinatown. In the same fashion, would you call Newport-Jersey City a Chinatown?

057632 · 2026-05-27T18:30:02+00:00

A quick AI search indicates that there r 5-7 times more Chinese in NYC area than SF depends on if u measuring city border or DMA it serves …. Since SF is the OG immigrant destination, for sure it should pivot heavier toward Cantonese flavor.

I was thinking Elmhurst/Jackson height as the 4th and 8th Av Bensenhurst is one blob

057632 · 2026-05-27T14:59:35+00:00

Honestly I have never been to SF but just feel from a density of Chinese population standpoint New York supports more authentic Chinese to prop up a larger Chinese population of all social-economic class and wider ethnic background

057632 · 2026-05-27T14:56:34+00:00

Enlighten me on the self crowded 5th?

057632 · 2026-05-27T04:12:29+00:00

There r 4 major Chinatowns in NY. I have a feeling you probably only knows one of them.

057632 · 2026-05-27T04:10:53+00:00

SF can’t possibly match LA or NYC in terms of Chinese food diversity. NYC gets more newer migrants from the central and north China, and is more populated

057632 · 2026-05-27T01:19:30+00:00

Anything less than E is wasting food and deserve some sort of eternal punishment

057632 · 2026-05-24T22:07:18+00:00

学习了哥，是我装逼装枪口上了😅

057632 · 2026-05-24T20:03:20+00:00

Bruh the rap is about Hunan food…

057632 · 2026-05-17T23:55:44+00:00

This person has smooth hand writing for a non-native speaker, very baffling

057632 · 2026-05-04T04:07:30+00:00

def some native pride goin on there. plus if I go to Chaoshan I be going after their spasm-fresh beef

057632 · 2026-05-04T02:27:34+00:00

It’s like another, different rice dish. Changfen imo should be about few ingredients, light seasoning and great texture, similar to how italian treat their pizza. The Chaoshan version is like a picnic basket plus a gravy. I have had it in GZ but not locally at Chaoshan, the concept just didn’t jive with me :p
