Reading many posts, I see there are many who don’t know the difference between Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, etc. I don’t eat any “fusion” type Asian places, as their menu is all over the place, and they don’t fully execute any one singular Asian cuisine well. (i.e. I won’t go to sushi restaurants where the sushi chefs are Korean).

Funny; anytime there is a discussion about specific food types you can count on a few responses that go, “there is nothing in this area that compares with where we used to live”. I am sure that if you go to Talk of Chinatown, San Francisco, someone would post “Nothing around here compares with blah blah Chinese restaurant in The Villages, Florida”.

Good reply so many have the same response. My thing is nowhere in Florida do home grown sweet corn or tomatoes compare o those in grown Ohio. But corn and tomatoes are really good here also.

We've tried this a few times and were not impressed. Maybe it has improved in the last year or so? This location is really convenient for us and we do wish it was better. Why are the owners of Koyame starting over? Seems a little weird but we will have to see about the new place. Until then Chengs is our place to get Chinese food as we know it.

We used to enjoy Koyame but recently found that the quality of the beef they use as well as the chicken dishes are sub-par in our opinion. We were quite disappointed as we frequently dined there if we were in the mood for Chinese in a restaurant without ambience. Now it reminds me of places we used to go to when we were teens and didn't know any better! If all you want are large portions with plenty of sauce so that you can take home meals to eat for several days, it's a good choice. To each his/her own.

Changs is the best your going to find around this area. I’ve tried many and there was none close to the real style

Last i checked chickens don’t have fingers. If you find a chinese restaurant serving chicken feet … you will have found an authentic chinese restaurant. They can be served either crunchy or soft.

Waze will easily get you to both

Agree.

I would add that "authentic" Chinese food may be many different things. Sort of like "authentic" American barbeque. There may be some similarities but there are probably a dozen distinct varieties that differ tremendously one from another. China is huge; there may be as many or more differences, region to region, in "authentic" Chinese as there are in American barbeque.
