Tonkatsu is good but doesn't do it for me like other Asian dishes. The sauce tastes too much like A1.

It's hard to find real Chinese food anymore. It seems like every place I see has converted to mass production for buffet-style.

Usually you have to go to a Chinese community in a larger urban area.

I haven't spent any time in China, but when I lived in Boston I went to a Chinese restaurant on an "authentic" day and wow what a difference. Americanized Chinese food is as tasty as can be but that authentic stuff was horrendous. I'd be more likely to cut off and eat my own pinky before I'd eat that stuff again.

A Japanese man turned me against Chinese food
I used to love Chinese food until I shared an office with a Japanese man. He was on this Panda Express kick that just so happen to coincide with the first trimester of my first pregnancy. Every day he got takeout there and brought it back to his desk. The aroma filled the entire office and it made me nauseated. My only escape was the women's restroom, where as a pregnant woman, I spent a lot of time anyway. That was more than six years ago, but still I am not a fan of at least the fast food version of the cuisine. Perhaps an opportunity to eat at an authentic Chinese restaurant would change my mind.

The problem with supermarket sushi is not just the freshness of the fish. It is the fact that the sushi rice gets tough and stale after sitting in a cooler for hours. And the cucumbers wilt and extract moisture. And the seaweed extracts moisture from the rice and gets limp and chewy. And you can't even begin to approach the variety of styles and flavors and sauces that you would get at a quality sushi bar. Not by a mile. This is like arguing that day-old leftovers from Panda Express are just as good as fresh chinese food from a gourmet restuarant. It's absurd.
