    I started this post thinking of Chinese communities up north that are legacy of rail road workers. A Chinese American guy took me to Bellaire to to find a bar, he wasn't from Houston. We didn't eat anywhere. Im never on that side of town, this was six years ago at night. I was tripping on the lights, like it looked like an Asian city.

    The Vietnamese food references kind of explains my thinking on Houston Chinese that a lot of the owners are from other Asian countries. I love Vietnamese food

    like Chinatowns thru out the US/Canada, it’s for tourists.

    Good Chinese food are in the suburbs, where middle class/well-to-do Chinese live. The Restaurants there compete for the disposable income of these folks w discerning Chinese palate.

    • the best Chinese food in LA are in the suburbs in the San Gabriel Valley
    • For SF, it’s in suburb of Richmond, CA
    • For Vancouver BC, it’s in Richmond BC
    • For Toronto, it’s in Markam

    What is your problem? Anybody who has driven there notices the lights. Its China town. You dont think those lights are there to look like cities in China? Youre a dumbass and *******.

    Congrats

    Disagree with Houston's Chinatown being for tourists. It's not at all tourist friendly. In fact, nowhere in H-Tine is tourist friendly unless you like the rodeo.

    AGREE with good Chinese food being in the suburbs. I worked in Sugar Land for a year once. My Chinese-American co-worker introduced me to some solid spots (not just Chinese).

    "Heavenly Good Fortune"s expansion to the US market targets the suburbs of LA, SF, NY, Houston and Vegas.
    the one in Irvine, CA opened mid last yr; it is HK quality, but pricier than other HK-quality dim sum restaurants in the region

    just my guess, it is gonna do well in Vegas and Houston, but not so much in SF/LA/NYC, as there are already many hk-quality dim sum restaurants

    stop w your less-than-informed nonsense.

    read up the two laws passed under LBJ's presidency, circa 1965/66; the civil rights act and immigration / naturalization act. this led to more HKers/mainland Chinese applying for immigration to the US, as well as being an international student at colleges.

    rich HKers saw the business opportunities attendant to this influx of Chinese palates; they opened Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley suburbs in LA sponsoring many HK chefs to work for them. LA was transformed into an oasis for Chinese food,

    Wow this is very cool. I’ve only been in Hong Kong but the sugar capped bbq bun is one of my favorite single dishes in the world. I imagine it’ll taste the same here.

    Ocean’s Palace has a very good dim sum and a respectable bbq pork bun that’s similar.

    stop w your nonsense, think before you post

    why do you think a pricy dim sum restaurant would open in a Houston suburb?
