Red,

I agree completely. If you have lived in or near cities with a significant Chinese population (Boston, NY, San Fran, Chicago, Honolulu), then you have had the opportunity to have what I will call "real" Chinese food. This can be comparable in quality to a meal at Lopez.

What we have at Colony is more Chinese "fast food" - and while it is better than other restaurants around, it is not what you would find in a restaurant in those cities primarily frequented by Chinese diners. An example might be comparing Five Guy's to Burger King - both are fast food places, but one is much better.
