The Best Chinese Food, According To This Viral Tiktok

So, as far as authentic Chinese restaurants go, most Asian Americans don’t expect the same sort of service they would at traditionally American restaurants. Actually, it’s such a cultural norm that, in 2011, Mai Pham wrote a whole article about it (aptly titled, Why I Don’t Expect Good Service in Asian Restaurants) after reading a review of a Vietnamese restaurant in the paper that made “a big to-do” about poor service.

In the article, Pham said, “To me, however, I didn’t take hasty as poor service, or unsmiling as unfriendly; it’s just the way things are at Asian restaurants, where the focus is more on food than service.”
