Haven't found it here yet. I've tried all the places in the above responses. I still can't find decent hot and sour soup without going to Ocala or Orlando.

Koyame WAS good...... not now with the new owners. I believe the new place will be a little east of the NYPD Pizza - like next door to Giovanni's in the same strip mall as Publix on 466. Could be wrong but that's what I heard.

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.

Question about Ichiban in Leesburg, is that authentic Chinese dishes now ? Have not been there for a very long time, but last time it was the typical, greasy, thick corn starch taste, and really over cooked vegetables served buffet style. Will for sure give another try if it has changed !

I have been to China and nothing here is authentic. Do find the vegetables to be nice and crispy.

We do enjoy the place.

YES ! Sunrise has really taken a slide DOWN. Had $43 order last week that shocked us compared to when they opened. Will say the Thai dish we ordered was the same quality as always. Cook changes perhaps ? Good help is very hard to find, seems the Covid thing has left this strange lack of employees in every state and area, that could be the case at Sunrise ?

I really like China Chef in Mangolia Plaza. Excellent food, reasonable prices, and their online ordering system is superb.
