New York Style Chinese food! Now most people don't really know what this means. everything I searched on the internet is wrong. So a REAL NEW YORKER who actually speaks to the Asian owners and cooks. Its not the "American or Western" style its the Province from where That particular Family came from. On the west coast you get Cantonese Chinese Cooking. ( I found San Francsico) But in NEW YORK we have mainly Saskatchewan Style cooking which is vastly different in taste. Now When we say EGG roll that are large not Small Spring roll the size of your pinky. We mean large size roll.
Now when your in China Town in NYC (Lafayette st, Canal St, Centre St.) that is more Authentic They Serve you family style with Large round table, its usually a 3-5 course dinner. (the service is excellent and the food is not greasy. ) Im sure there is some added flavors that Us American like on certain dishes but for the most part it way better that the Corner spots. Every New Yorker i met all say the same thing.. Why does the chinese taste horrible here. I thought it was me, I Even asked a few Chinese friends i have here and they suggested heading to China town area on Sprint Mtn ave. So i Go There and its the same. Now the Only Place i found where its New York Style food is China-A- Go-Go. Now FYI Know your noodles, they do not make "Lo-Mein" Noodles that we are used to on the east coast.
