If you are looking for Chicago, NYC, Vancouver, etc. etc. authentic, not grease, not corn starch, and not "Americanized", even luck won't help you. Even much better (authentic) where we are from in South East Florida. Having said; if we must satisfy a craving and really don't have the time to drive to Orlando's mostly Vietnamese section (but a few good Chinese there also) we order from Koyame, but be forewarned, this is also a fusion, heavy Japanese influence, but generally good. Same for Sunrise, much better luck with their Thai, than what they call "Chinese", but it was acceptable. To get something a bit closer to what you may be looking for, Yummy House in Ocala is about as close as you can come without driving to a true city with a "Chinatown" restaurant row. This is a very bad area to look for really good Chinese, Greek, and even German food. Probably just too "rural" to be able to support such restaurants... but branch out a bit and you can find at least "decent" replicas to big city establishments. I try to keep in mind that restaurants sell what people WANT, and here they definitely want their "ethnic" cuisines HEAVILY "Americanized". That's the way it just is... got to follow the demand of course.
