Koyame.
I think that pretty much all of them are Asian Fusion these days. With the popularity of Thai food and sushi, many Chinese restaurants have added some of those dishes to their menus.

Many laud the Italian and Chinese in NYC as the "gold standard." They may be correct, as I have never been to NYC to have a basis for comparison. For many of them, the NYC versions of those cuisines may have been their only exposure and thus set their standards, actually authentic or not. Besides both cuisines have differences depending upon the region in the countries, so for which region are they claiming authenticity. I have had both cuisines much closer to their origins as well as other locations in the world. We feel there are many good ethnic restaurants within 60 minutes drive from The Villages and we are willing to take the drive. The drive is part of our retirement activities. Bottom line, be adventurous and get outside of the bubble. The Villages Gourmet website lists hundreds of possibilities and despite their diligence and dedication we know of a few they do not have listed. |

You've obviously never been to China. Most Americans have no idea what authentic Chinese food is.
I've never been to a Chinese restaurant in this country that serves authentic Chinese food. As for all this talk about NY Chines food, people's taste in Chinese food, and pizza for that matter depends on where you come from and what you're used to. I'm from Boston. I've eaten Chinese food in New York City and tough it was terrible. And by the way, I've eaten Chinese food in China and did not like it. It was not at all what I expected. What is called Chow Mein here, in The Villages or in Boston or in New York is very different than what is Chow Mein in Bejing. For some reason Chinese food is different in every state in the country. It's all what you're used to. If it's not like what you had at home, get used to it because you're not going to find that here. It's not that it's bad, it's just different.

Personally I enjoy it but was a culture shock the first time I was there. BTW in China no such thing as egg rolls or lomein. Chinese look down on simple noodle dishes. |

Very true about regional differences in Chinese cooking. We've been to China ( Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai) The cooking was different in each city and unlike what you get in the US.
On Maui, there is a restaurant called China Boat owned and run by a couple from Taiwan. The sauces they use on their dishes are unlike anything I have tasted anywhere else. Boy, do I miss it.

Cheng's on 466 is closest to what we were used to in Boston and we like Bamboo Bistro also.

I had Mexican in Tijuana... (Seriously, but no comment please.)
There are a number of Chinese restaurants here with the very same menu. I've tried more than a few and I can't say I'm dying to go back. I would gladly pay more for better quality Chinese food like back home... and I'm from New England, not NYC. |

Do not care for that style of knishes.
We bought several dozen of potato and kosher from Gabila by mail order a few months ago. We even qualified for their knish club. |

Filipino food recipes. Any Filipino restaurants in or near the Villages?
Angela Dimayuga’s 10 Essential Filipino Recipes - The New York Times
I was wondering with all the Filipino nurses in this area if there are any good Filipino restaurants in this area? The Villages or surrounding area? |
