The real Chinese food was always prepared right at home. The American Chinese food was cooked at the restaurant.

I vividly remember going over there to show them my new Lone Ranger Halloween costume one year and not understanding a word they said to me. I think they run the restauraunt now (at least the woman at the front counter seems to be in her 40s or early 50s and would be the right age to be one of them).

Their Grandma to my knowledge, never learned the english language and ALWAYS cooked authentic Chinese stuff. I would get Chinese Chinese food at their house and then American Chinese food at their place of business. Good food all around.

Don't jump on my case because I'm just telling it like it is. How do I know that the food is Americanized? I'm Chinese and my folks used to be in the restaurant business. Want some real Chinese food? Come over to my Mom's house.

Whatever happened to the fresh spinach and roasted pork strips that made Won Ton soup so special and delicious?

I've had just about everything they've got on their menu. It REALLY is probably the best chinese food in town.

The food there is awesome!! Try the Beef Egg Foo Young. Yes, the egg rolls are great! I drive across town just to eat there. I won't eat chinese food anywhere else. :-) Fri, 21 Mar 2008 23:32:54 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/6258#comment_18265 http://www.indy.com/posts/6258#comment_18265 musicjunky1967 I lived down on the corner just off of 38th street.

That's how I know the place so well.

In fact, I grew up in that neighborhood back behind the shopping center. I'm glad to see that place still in business. Anyone that has grown up on the east side knows that it's a hell of a lot different now than it was then. Nice to see it's still there.
