Having spent many years working in New York's Chinatown restaurants early in my career, I have the utmost respect for the history and connection New Yorkers have with Chinese cuisine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is an honor to open in New York City and to have the opportunity to serve and share our family's version of American Chinese food and hospitality. New York City deeply influenced my passion for food and service, and it feels good to be back.
I am obsessed with Chinese restaurants. Like many Americans, I first discovered them in my childhood.
New York's food scene is truly unique because it is this wonderful melting pot where immigrants from all over the world have brought with them their cuisines and their ingredients.
Chinese restaurants have long been a weekly or monthly ritual for many Americans.
I actually didn't grow up in a household that loved Chinese food particularly, and it's not really my go-to food or anything... We were more a pizza family, being from the Chicago area and all.
New York gives us a wide colour palette to cook from. We have cuisines from around the world, and that lets us pick and choose.
New York is rich in culture, cuisine, and commerce.
Historically and culturally, New York City and our entire nation simply would not be the same without the infusion of Asian traditions. Whether it is food, art, language or any other facet of cultural life, Asian Americans have made our city and our country stronger and richer.
There a great ethnic cuisine available to you in Chicago.
I've got tremendous respect for different cultures, for the food and everything.
