I hate when people call it nasty just cause it’s not real ! I’m Mexican and I love Tex mex food ! It’s not real or authentic but it’s still good

Thanks for the English subtitles

Actually, sometimes I like certain American Chinese dishes. even though I grew up in Taiwan.

As an American Chinese, I find that Chinese who claim Americanized Chinese food is not Chinese are condescending and arrogant. To them, I would argue that that any “authentic” Chinese dishes with potato, corn, or tomato are not authentic since those vegetables are native the New World (the Americas). Another example is the various lobster dishes (made with the North Atlantic lobster, the one with claws) found in Chinese restaurants in North America, China, HK, Malaysia, etc. Those dishes are definitely Chinese (Cantonese) even though they are have been created in the last few decades and in America. Even today, new styles of the lobster dishes are popping up (e.g. with cheese sauce). To end, I say try and enjoy the food, whether it is authentic Chinese or not.

Is it just me or was 15% of the video in Mandarin

i guess thats why my granny wanna teach me what the real chinese food is be4 i go to usa.

I tried Chinese food in a food court in Australia many years ago. The variety was exactly the same as shown in this video.

I won’t apologize.. I love it.

One time, I was working in Toronto, and I was home sick. I chose to go to a local Chinese American Restaurant.....and greatly regretted about my choice!

It is just different. As long as you know what you are buying, everything is cool.

It has been 2 years... you have a multi-cultural video, interviewing multiple languages (dialects)... Why have YOU not done sub titles? Why are the captions still talking about gangs and egg rolls? Good video, but could only enjoy 1/2 of it. You will do well for yourself, keep up the work.

Haha, finally, you updated your video.

I actually like American Chinese food if it's made well (as opposed to what you get at some fast food places). But I also understand why many Chinese people would criticize it. It's not really because of the quality of the food, but rather because most people would tie their personal identities and feelings of nostalgia with the food that is named after their nationality. So most people are not really scrutinizing the food. They are just homesick. And it really felt terrible when some of my American friends asked me why I didn't like Panda Express cuz it's soooo "Chinese" (lol). From an objective perspective, any food with any origin can be tasty, whether it is Amercianzied or not.

I moved 1500 miles away from where I was born and the chinese restaurant i just went to has almost the same exact menus and the food tastes the exact same.

There is this place here in Ann Arbor called China palace and it’s a buffet but the buffet is all the boring stuff. If you get the menu items you get fresh meals like Hunan chicken and kung pao

The closed captions are hilarious.

I think it’s dumb when some people use the argument against Americanized Chinese food “that it isn’t authentic.” I love Americanized Chinese food and I know it’s not authentic but that doesn’t really matter to me if it tastes good. It’s also frustrating when some people think that Americanized Chinese food is the only type of Chinese food there is, I know it’s probably not their fault but it is annoying cause they are two different foods and only have some similarities.

as a person who is part chinese i think that american chinese food is good. its not bad its just not what authentic chinese food is.

If you want the best of both worlds visit Chinatown in the Boston area...

Same thing with Mexican food. It's happening to Cajun food to

my chinese self not even disappointed just my soul came out, evaporated. like a sticket . why my friend want to go to us i can't comprehend

as a chinese i enjoy it

Many of the Chinese food in America that does not exist in China do exist in the Philippines (beef brocoli, chopsuey, egg rolls, Chowmien noodles cooked in American style, orange chicken....etc.)

What I think is it Matters about the money 😏, think of what will be the easiest way to fish money out of your wallets, which is to make food that suits the American's taste 🤯😏😏😏

Oooooo orange chicken sounds good

Also no food in America is authentic. Mexican food, Italian food, etc. It’s made for American pallets. If you’re going to a Mexican restaurant and thinking that’s authentic, you’re wrong.

my dads a chef whose spent 20 years learning about making foods from a ton of different cultures, and he knows how to make a variety of many different types of asian dishes that are actually authentic (he’s had friends from several different countries tell him it tastes just like how it’s made there so it has the star of approval from someone who actually knows💀) so i always prefer making those with him over the americanized restaurants💀

肯定正宗的中餐好吃，好吃的中餐需要花费精力和时间，美国中餐快餐化了..🌝

Nice ratio. I don’t need to see the dislike count. 😂

China has such a diverse and colorful array of foods that Western society would never consider as something they'd eat, let alone have it within a 6 foot distance of them. 😂😂 They have different fruits and vegetables, rely on insects as a source of protein, raise a range of livestock and seafood including many types and cuts of meat that are different to what's common in the US, and in general just have an entirely different ecosystem to source food from. Because of that, I know that there's no way that what we see on our menus is what the average Chinese person is eating. I do find it odd that it's so difficult to find authentic Chinese offerings more commonly seeing as our culture has been in search of foods that are more and more uncommon to us. Maybe the average American's palate, or mind, isn't ready for that jump just yet? Maybe that's something to come in the future to add to the history of American Chinese food??

put subtitles i dont speak chinese

I hate the "flied lice" stereotype. Your average Chinese person and Chinese American can probably count on two hands the number of times they've actually had fried rice. Assuming that all Chinese people eat fried rice is like assuming all Italians eat deep fried table bread.

Did you really have a guy speak chinese for almost 3 minutes with no translation?

No, I don't like this video. It's a mess. Apart from some guy rumbling for half a video in Chinese, I still don't know what authentic Chinese food is.

americanized Chinese food is really not that great. my mom is half Chinese, and EVEN SHE MAKES MORE AUTHENTIC CHINESE FOODS! I've been to real Chinese restaurants. They only thing I can say is that YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY. I really don't mind waiting up to AN HOUR, OR SOMETIMES EVEN TWO HOURS, FOR THE FOOD TO ARRIVE! IT'S TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT! The food comes to you STEAMING HOT, LITERALLY JUST OUT OF THE PAN. There are no overpowering amounts of sauce, each ingredient compliments to other.

I discovered this difference when I moved to Canada from the UK. Chinese food in the UK tends to be much more authentic, and when I found the abundance of heavily deep fried stuff they sell here, it was frankly kind of horrified by the comparison. Genuine Chinese food is very much superior in my opinion, and healthier too.

There's one restaurant in my area that serves authentic food like dim sum, dan dan noodles, simmered bok choy, lotus roots etc, but has good Americanized Chinese food aswell. Unfortunately it's in a sea of lesser quality Americanized Chinese restaurants. I'd much rather eat the authentic food. I wish it was more widely available and more popular than the other stuff.

American Chinese food is actually closer to Japanese than Chinese.

The reason American have American style Chinese food is because several reason. First, the first group Chinese who came to American are illegal immigrant from southest part of China. Mostly, they're from Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan, Hongkong. Although Hongkong Taiwan had try to split and had been rent to Britain or Japan, the people of these two place are from Guangdong and Fujian, not from local people live there million years ago. These group people go to American illegally, and when they find a way to become legal, their relative come here. These group people first made American Chinese food. At beginning they did regular Fujian or Guangdong style, basic level home style cooking to American people, and American don't often like that kind style, then, for commericializing their business, they had changed the taste. They made food become either more salty, sweet or sour, with no bone, cut food as big pieces. Those are very easy cooking compare to original way of cooking, however, that kind style more adapt to early American taste. Some American have a more tough taste, you can see the Pizza in American unless in big city, the floour is not very refined. It taste like no taste flour with burned carbon with a chaotic, unregulated taste. Beside tough taste, also is strong taste, American prefer a stronge tast in sweet, salty, sour. Those Chinese food is tough, rough compare to Chinese food in China. Recently year, lots of exchange students, Rich businessman from Chinese go to American, they made some new style Chinese food in American, they are not same as Chinese food in China, but more similar to Chinese food in China. Mostly they are Sichuan style, Shanghai style, Xian style Chinese food with a little higher level of cooking skill. If make them in numbers and classification Chinese big restaurant style is 10, Chinese restaurant style is 7, Chinese basic home cooking is 4, bad home cooking is 1 There style will be Original Fujian Chinese food in American with level 3 skill Americanized American style Fujian Chinese food with level 1 skill Americanized Chinese style Sichuan Chinese food with level 3-5 skill Americanized Chinese style Shanghai Chinese food with level 3-6 skill Americanized Chinese style Xian Chinese food with level 3-5 skill A level 10 cooking need know how to cook exquisite food with good taste, how to plating , remove impurity, cut exactly regular. Can cut very thin and regular. Knowing how to use different species, taste, tools, cooking skill. Make some novel and good taste food and some famous tradition fare. Put exact amount of ingredient, control the fire and time. A level 7 need know how to cut regular, thin, have a good and exquisite taste, how to use species, how to use different taste. Need to know common cooking skill. Put exact amount of ingredient. A level 4 is required good cut skill, can make a fare follow the instruction. Know how to fried. Know how to use ingredient and not put too much or less. Can cut food to small and regular. A level 1 is knowing how to fried, how to put ingredient. Can cut food in big piece.

I don't care about authentic Chinese food. Why would that matter?

I speak mandarin and this guy is saying fake words, trust me

American Chinese food don’t have corona virus right?

I thought this was a comparison/contrast video? Booo

I love how Chinese Americans criticize Chinese American food and say it’s not authentic when their ancestors are the ones that made Chinese American food. No white guy came up with that. If you want authentic Chinese food go somewhere where they make it.

edit after procrastinating and finish watch McDonald's isnt even that good.

Seriously didn’t think to translate the Chinese?!?! 🤨😒👎🏾

It's like what passes for "espresso" in America has nothing to do with real Italian espresso in Italy. Real Italian espresso is syrupy, with no bitterness, thick crema and perfect balance. In America, it's either a watery and huge coffee with just a little bit of foam on top passing for crema, or a super-extracted sludge that is so bitter as it be undrinakable, these "4th wave" espressos from fancy coffee shops. I guess Americans just get a concept created by another culture that they are unable to create for themselves, and "make it their own" with their typical(inferior) American tastes.

I learned nothing

Here's a thing. If you want more Americans to watch your video, add a translation. Most Americans don't speak Chinese lol

America exists outside of California and New York City dude. Clueless thinking like that from coastal urban people is what got Trump elected.
