I mean literally he just translates English verbatim into Mandarin. Other than the accent, he sounds like any beginner Mandarin learning foreigner who has studied for maybe like a year or two? I say the roasting it totally legit.

To be honest, his Mandarin is pretty bad, especially when compared to either Sheldon or Edward's Cantonese. The other two are native level, albeit not very sophisticated, his it literally foreigner who learnt it for like 3 years max level....

I laughed so hard when Mike's dad said the dish tasted familiar.....taste like chicken 😂😂😂😂 And Mike's face after that hahaahahah

[@shingoooau-yeung13]

American Chinese food was created by Cantonese people and cooking style. Mike and his family aren't Cantonese, and the Chinese food they eat is very different. For example, when Mike's dad said Chinese food doesnt have fruit in it, Cantonese people will definitely disagree. China is huge, and people from a certain region will have their own particular cuisines

[@higashirinchiah1013]

[@MarcoAshford]

I tried Panda's fried rice, it's not that bad that you have to make faces. Lot of Chinese People are overreacting to Panda, because they have ego issues admitting Panda is not bad. I grew up in China and I think Panda has some dishes done right. Especially 北京牛和宫保鸡丁. 其实最关键的是panda便宜啊，还有优惠券，12块可以吃到3个菜！中餐馆他MD现在涨价涨到我已经一年多没去过了，最低档的餐馆一份鸡18， 牛20，海鲜25，给的量还少，真的吃不起。现在除了偶尔吃吃快餐和自助餐，我都不敢花钱，什么东西都太贵了，公司还不涨工资发不出钱。

Broccoli beef is specifically a American Chinese dish... actually most of the dishes are. Kinda like the fortune cookie. Authentically American Chinese. Chinese food varies quite a bit regionally within China and globally has adapted where Chinese have immigrated to using local ingredients, i.e India, Korea, Japan (ramen's origin is a Chinese noodle dish- Japanese Chinese cuisine), Malaysia, Cuba, America, etc.

[@yuzhezhang700]

In what twisted world is broccoli beef a traditional Chinese dish? This is the most American Chinese food ever.

[@LKelz]

As a Chinese American who grew up eating Chinese food I actually like Panda Express ! It’s not too bad! I love their honey walnut shrimp and new Chili Shrimp ! Also black pepper chicken and Kung pao Chicken its not that bad ! Has a peppery flavor ,and salty ! Pretty close to the Chinese taste buds !! They actually doesn’t do that bad of a job tbh not as bad as some people who trynna be edgy like “ I only eat real Chinese food etc” Wouldn’t get their fried rice or Orange Chicken or Beijing beef or sweet and sour chicken though Wayy too sweet or blend . Americans likes them because they are sweet or fried . But actually the Chinese taste doesn’t like things that are sweet Our compliments towards desserts are “ this is not too sweet

[@LibeliumDragonfly]

It's not that Chinese doesn't like things that are sweet, it's just that we don't like meat dish that's literally just sweet and nothing else. Sweet and sour is a popular flavour in many regions, but when Americans does it, they go wayyyyy to light on the sour part, so you only taste the sweet.

[@chaoxyz8183]

The black pepper chicken is very good, and it's the main thing I get whenever I do go to Panda Express. The fried rice and chow mein are pretty ass, tho. I always get the white rice.

[@Drewferran]

As someone who speaks and is Cantonese (i never actually know if that’s what we call ourselves), hearing Cantonese spoken and understanding it I truly think Cantonese is one of the funniest languages. Like the subtitles don’t do it justice how funny this was

[@exploringnewbie3315]

this would be literally what my parents would react to panda express lol, but I love seafood tofu and vegetable casserole that's usually in a clay pot, or sweet and sour pork!

[@LagoonKnight]

The real deal looks fresher. I miss our local Chinese restaurant that had family-made recipes. Panda cant compete with.

[@wolfy3297]

100% my fav dish is dandan noodles. I love the how the taste just relax me and give me the comfort. I know im czech but my comfort foods are from sichuan cuisine.

I find it really weird that Americans feel the need to label "fake" and real Chinese food. Chinese people are migrated all over the world, and have come up with their own versions of what they had from their hometown. Chinese food can be found in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia Japan and many other places, each with their own unique twists. I love Chinese food for all over the world, and I feel that calling them "fake" or not real, is a real disservice and an insult to those who work hard sweating behind the woks and burning themselves for our palate.

[@raincloud1040]

Thank you for saying this. As a Chinese man, I say who cares! "Authenticity" is overrated. There's always going to be differences due to ingredients because of what is available. Some foods just aren't available/hard to obtain in some areas. The history of the "fake" Chinese food those types of people diss reflects this. American Chinese food came from immigrants who used whatever they had to create something to eat; the intention wasn't to make "authentic Chinese food." It's so irritating when I see people get on their high-horses and start dissing foods simply because they didn't originate from China so they're not "real." And it's not even just Americans unfortunately.

[@seventh-hydra]

​@@raincloud1040 The reason is because Western palates like the food more bland and more sweetened. So for someone who wants the full flavor, they will distinguish between authentic and inauthentic.

[@zerwif]

Any time I'm in Singapore and am in a "Chinese" restaurant I get the most Malay or Indian inspired dish on the menu. And most times it is fantastic and still Chinese food in my mind.

[@silentboomber]

As a Chinese, my first thought is literally WTF is that. Finally get to have the same kind of emotions running through my head as a Japanese seeing deep-fried California rolls.

[@shortycastella]

The fact that she’s been in Canada for over 30 years and that she only eats Chinese food is kind of sad. These guys are from Markham (north of Toronto) and there are so many good, diverse things to try. You haven’t really experienced Canada (or any country you live in) if you only stick to your home country’s food.

[@emw.3437]

My favourite Chinese food is hands down mapo tofu!! Nothing better than a hot bowl of rice with savoury and spicy mapo tofu as comfort food.

[@jcman-lp6lg]

I will never understand the hate for Americanized Chinese food. Like,, why the hate it has long rooted history that stems from Cantonese immigrants. what makes it unauthentic and hated upon? The fact that it wasn't made in China? Does coming to the US unauthenticated you from your race? The people who made it were authentic Cantonese. And of course they aint gonna like Panda but Im talking about all american chinese foods not just panda.

It’s actually Americanized food made by panda express vs. some other restaurants.😂 Nobody I know of that grow up in China actually like panda express. It is so sweet, saucy, over-salted, and often overcooked or undercooked. Eating it makes me a little sad, cuz it reminds me of much better food i used to get for a fraction of the price back home. In the US, it is actually decent for the price and calories per dollar.

You guys should really go to China for a feel for the food. It will really blow your mind on their number of varieties China offers. It doesn't have to be the so-called traditional, some of them are new and contemporary, some have different variations of a certain dishes and of course, some are local specialties. A good starting channel I recommend on KZbin to get you a bit more closer to the locals is 「吃货请闭眼 Just Eat it」. Get a general feel for it. For example if you go to Beijing, what are their 4 well known Peking Duck Restaurants for the local. What seafood buffet do they offer, What is their most budgeted food you could get in the city. What is Manchurian/Han full banquet like(I personally have no darn clue myself). What is 卤煮, I personally find that quite disgusting. What is a famous food street called in the city e.g. 簋街. Why is one of Beijing's local breakfasts so disgusting and is an acquired taste for other people and a lot people from across China are very curious to try it. What are some of the 老字号 (traditional names) for the Restaurants in the city (beware some can be a bit pricey). They do have food from other regions, but are not as savvy compared to food introductions in Beijing, some of them are just more of a novelty for them in my opinion.
