A Panda Express opened nearby and there aren't any Asians working there. Does it feel fake to you or untrustworthy, or does it not matter because food is food? Do you apply the same rule to Mexican restaurants, Indian restaurants, etc.?

I'm Chinese and no way will I ever eat at Chinese restaurants in the States, even though i've been studying here for two years. For authentic Chinese cuisine, you got to travel! I hail from Singapore and the food back home is incredible. I've heard from my friends how fattening they think Chinese food is but that's the furthest thing away from the truth! Most food served in authentic Chinese restaurants shouldn't be too greasy nor oily.

It really makes no difference as long as the food tastes good. I myself prefer to make my own, and I whipped up a tasty fried rice recipe that was eaten by my family in less than a minute. I am also an American white woman. As for the others I really love Mexican food, love tacos, enchialadas, tamales, burritos, and nachos, but again I rather make my own because I do not want all the fat of a fast food or regular restaurant. As for Indian cusine, I like a few items such as vegetarian things, I ate it at a friend's home that was from India, it was delicious. I ate at an authentic Indian restaurant as well, I felt it was too much curry, will never eat there again. I am married to a man from Somalia, I learned how to make a few things that my husband likes, he said that some of the things that I cooked are better than that of his sister's who is from Somalia. So like it was said, it does not really matter, as long as the food is delicious.

lol... I was at a Panda Express and thought the same thing.
I think with Panda Express the food is made at a common facility and the individual places use the standard items and recipes.
We're assuming Panda Express is what everyday Chinese folks would typically eat.
However, what it comes down to is "do you like the food?"
It really doesn't matter who cooks it.
I bet the Chinese chefs are NOT teaching non-asians the "Five-Point-Palm Exploding Heart Technique" to deboning a chicken.
It's an ancient secret. Shhhhhh....

it quite is not consistently the case,yet i assume it quite is as a results of fact some 'mom and dad' chinese language eating places are family owned,and to that end hire family. extra value-effective in exertions expenditures yet in addition they understand how the nutrition is to be arranged. relatively pre-experienced workers. in case you choose to artwork there,basically ask for an utility. in the event that they are hiring and you have the talents and know-how mandatory to artwork there. You 'could' get employed. no longer a assure. yet you will no longer understand till you attempt.

Panda Express is fast food Americanized Chinese. It doesn't matter who makes it - it's the equivalent of McDonalds, all pre-made and stuff. I wouldn't even call it Chinese.
I don't care who makes it, but I think it matters who the clientele is, because then you know it's real.

Odds are pretty good that the majority of the food cooked in the country is cooked by Latinos... and darned well!
It's no great trick to learn an ethnic specialty and reproduce it.
Now, to reproduce it well...
Best wishes!

I'm Indian (from India) and I cook kick-a%^ Italian, Chinese, Thai and American food.
I'm sure it's fine.

you know, i eat at Asian restaurants ALOT, and i do get a feeling of it not being "the real thing" so to speak. it took the ambiance out of it. but, as for the food itself, i tasted no difference. it was the "feeling" i found diff rent.

Don't have to be Chinese to be able to cook Chinese. Or any ethnic group or food, for that matter.
