Do chain Chinese places even exist outside of malls and tourist traps?

And their books are reviewed by a lady with blue bracelets tattooed on her wrists.

I’ve got one near me and I love their chicken fried rice. Felt real old when they mentioned said kids are going to college now.

Came here to post about how weird it is when the kid goes off to college.

If they can't speak the native language, you know that it's going to be the fucking bomb

This perfectly describes a Chinese joint near me called Jewel's Noodles.

For a viαΊΏt place you can tell because they keep the mop and bucket in the bathroom with the big ass container of that pink liquid soap.

I lived near one may years ago in NYC. The young kids would often be outside playing.

Facts. There's a place near me that makes the best salt & pepper tofu and it's usually me and like 10 Chinese people there to buy trays of pork and duck. The first time my mom and I went, we saw the boxes of drinks and silverware stored in the hallway and one of the booths and the open kitchen and we knew we were in for a good time.

Fun fact: this rule also applies to bagel shops (or at least the one in my neighborhood).

There’s no good Chinese near me 😭

Me either. It's 300 miles to the nearest decent one, let alone great one.
