Not sure I care whether it’s ‘authentic’. Gained a lot of weight at one in the Midwest where good food is tough to come by. Only ate two dishes and never had to ask for more heat, although rarely did you ever see white people eating there. Finally asked the owner why the food tasted like a mixture of Korean and Chinese, and the owner explained that while she was Chinese, her husband doing the cooking was from Korea.
Well, I’m not a huge Chinese fan at all.. but what I do eat are americanized dishes if I do eat there.
My go to is always Sesame Chicken if I end up at a Chinese restaurant.
