Let me break down to everyone how chinese restaurants operate. How do I know? Because my entire family owns a bunch of them all over the US and I myself worked for my parents for 10 years.
Are there dirty chinese restaurants? Yes there are. Are there more dirty chinese restaurants compared to other types of restaurants? No.
Most chinese restaurants are clean, or at least the same with the general restaurant population. Nobody wants anyone to get sick because you want happy customers.
95% of the food is homemade with quality ingredients. The chicken wings are nice and big without congealed blood, like the ones you find in Kennedy Fried Chicken or any hood chicken spot. The come every singe day because there is such a high turnover. The fried rice is homemade, the rice is cooked with soy sauce to give it color, but it's like any rice you buy in the supermarket.
Chicken Broccoli : The chicken is made from chicken breast, that's bout the most expensive part of the chicken you can buy from. They're whole chicken breast, then we slice them, then we marinate it with some corn starch to soften it. The broccoli is hand cut, no chinese restaurants have pre cut or frozen broccoli like other places.
General Tso Chicken: made from chicken thigh, once again we have to cut and prepare everything from scratch.
Soups are always homemade by boiling the chicken bones from chickens that we process and cut ourselves.
Literally the only things that are not homemade are the american appitizer items like nuggets and apple sticks, which you can get in the freezer aisle yourself.
I think people think that chinese people eat weird things so they put weird things in the food. It can't be further away from the truth. It's like people think we don;t care about our customers which is offensive.
Go to any 5 star restaurant, you will see stuff you will regret. Go to Cipranis on wall street at night where they take out the garbage and witness rats crawling around.
