I don't know how is it where you are, but here Chinese restaurants have a tendency to get closed for a few weeks by health inspectors. And that includes one I used to ate a few times a week a couple years ago. :sweat: Never had problems with high class restaurants tho.

My sister spent some time there, had no problems and she's picky. She wasn't in rural area tho. Just don't pick up a live chicken in a market or food in shady food stand and you should be ok. Besides people dipping their chicken wings in ice cream, the rest was ok. :hehe:

I used to pick up live cardboard from our Chinatown here in Los Angeles. They have a good selection.

I'll to take a picture of a ramen shop nearby. They have something written on an old cardboard box in their window. Maybe that's it, they're serving fresh cardboard. :P

Reminds me of a recipe I heard of a while ago for cooking cockatoos: (Native Austraian bird)

- Take your cockatoo, and a rock of approximately the same size, and place in a pan of water.

- Salt and pepper to taste

- slowly bring to boil.

- Boil until rock is soft, throw away cockatoo and eat rock.

:hehe:

From my experience, Chinese restaurants are dirtier and messier than Japanese restaurants: I always find the dishes, silverware, and cups in Chinese restaurants to be poorly washed, the interior and exterior to be subpar, and the bathrooms no better than port-a-potties.

They're also (painfully) loud and the service mostly mediocre at best.

I'm sure there are Japanese restaurants that may also be that way, but I've never been to one like that.

that description holds true for many a chinese joint.

sure...in my opinion the only places like that might be fast food japanese teriyaki places which are inevitably not owned by japanese proprietors.

Yoshinoya comes to mind... I've only been to one once.

Never again. :bleh:

As bogus as bogus Japanese food can be.

I used to eat their shredded dog meat as a child....but after seeing photos of the food Yoshinoya offers IN JAPAN...I can tell you we get a completely unrelated version that is vastly inferior.

for dinner, my family and i ate at a Kyoto Italian restarant in the Gion District. I have to say the Italian food is good here. I mostly have been eating Japanese food of course, but a few times i had Italian food. The pizza was delicious, and about 1400 yen for Italian Sausage and Locally grown Kyoto green peppers at this nice Italian restarant. Of course the service is impeccable, and truly the best.
