I don't eat Chinese, because it is SO high in sodium! Used to enjoy it, decades ago, but, no more.

You should ask for the low sodium version

YUMMY HOUSE in either Ocala or Gainseville is superb! True Chinese food and even dim sum on week-ends. Great atmosphere and service

There's plenty of mediocre Chinese food establishments in the NYC area, as well. Of course, there's a plethora of Chinese food places, so you will find good/great ones. But you'll find some real duds, too.

So you are from New York? We are from Long Island. Good chinese food. Good pizza. Good bagels. Lox. Have learned after 23 yrs to stop looking. Yes there are decent mentioned above foods but unfortunately nothing compared. So enjoy what is here but keep.looking. Stay safe.

Koyame!

Sams does have pretty good lox. Have to purchase it in larger packages than I would prefer but it does freeze well.

There is a Chinatown in Orlando on West Colonial Drive. I'm sure that there are a lot of good Chinese restaurants there. We've mostly eating in the Korean and Japanese restaurants down there.

Everyone thinks that they know what great Chinese food is. I've been to China and what they eat there is nothing like what we eat here.

Also, taste in Chinese food is like taste in pizza. It depends on where you're from. The Chinese food and pizza in Boston is very different from that in Chicago or Los Angeles.

You tend to like what you grew up with so if it's different than that you probably won't like it.

I ordered Chow Mein in Manila and was shocked that what I got. Nothing like what you'd get here.

Not Chinese but Thai Rubi in Sumter Landing is pretty good and like an earlier poster said - good is the highest rating for the villages
