    First time on your channel. So glad that you enjoyed Chinese Cantonese BBQ. Although we don't eat this all the time, it's a nice treat our entire lives growing up with Chinese BBQ. Now you are making me salivate! I'm in Northern CA. Too far to try Wah Fung but definitely can appreciate your review. YUM! I see that you answer all your viewers, which is a very nice touch!

    Only been there once, on my latest trip to NYC, but it instantly became one of my favorite food spots (if not the favorite) in the city. I agree with every word you said in the beginning about the sauce. Fantastic!

    Few questions 1. Where did you get those glasses?
    2. How’s the Chinese in Chicago? Does it even compare to NYC?

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Those are Persol sunglasses and I got them off of Amazon and I love them! The Chinese food in Chicago is great, but NYC is much better, but that is partly for the fact that NYC has a much larger population, which equates to more restaurants and a greater variety. I actually like the Chinatown in Flushing, Queens far more than the Manhattan Chinatown.

    • @irmaiz133
      @irmaiz133 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I 💚 Flushing China Town as well but Wah Fung is an entity of its own. No duck in Flushing tastes as good as the one from Wah Fung; sorry, I don’t eat pork. Chicken is good as well. They had rice cake with fishy balls but no longer. ☘️😉

    Just returned from my NYC arts trip (2 operas at the Met, 1 concert at Geffen Hall, 1 concert at Carnegie), I must say I was hugely disappointed by Wah Fung; mercifully I went on a Wednesday afternoon and the line was short. The meats (duck, roast pork, char siu) all tasted bad...You guys need to come to L.A. for the real stuff. I got a large box + soda for only $9.50 I guess you get what you pay for.
    With a bad taste in my mouth I then went to Eataly, wow much MUCH nicer than the Eataly in L.A. Molto impressed. You should do a review.
    I actually went back to Chinatown and had an excellent meal at Deluxe Green Bo, check out their famous soup dumplings!

    When I saw you eat soy sauce chicken n Char Siu (roasted pork) which was an authentic Cantonese food that I used to eat back in Hong Kong but your BBQ pork looked kind of fat n greasy😂 $11.50 for all that meat n rice dishes which is a bargain cuz you won't find such good price not even in Los Angeles..😅
