We Found The BEST Chinese Breakfast in the USA

I'm serpens it a I'm low I 86 everybody knows and loves Chinese food but if you're like most Americans you may have never had the real thing it's always chopped up sweet salty and it's usually is slopping pot I don't know anywhere else in a little bit in America where they have you know Chinese fortune cookies do you have to go all the way to China to see what real Chinese food is or can you find true authentic Chinese food in America we don't have that much river of people in this area especially even in America mostly we're using like bland and put it noodle we've lived in China for a combined 20 years so we know what real Chinese food is like we've had some of the weirdest wildest and most delicious food that China has to offer that's why we're sitting out on a 3,000 mile road trip all across the west coast of the USA to find out where and if it's possible to find authentic Chinese food this is the quest for the best Chinese in the USA [Music] see milk where are we we're in Arizona why are we in Arizona we're here to fetch the Corvette now the Corvette needed a lot of expensive repairs unfortunately stupid just cuz it's got the Corvette brand name but we're going on an epic trip and what are we doing we're going to find the real most authentic Chinese food that you can find in America my home country actually now I've actually eaten Chinese food all over America before but it's usually at these kind of imposter restaurants oh yeah we see them all over the place here was that wok and roll lot of the good plays on words even here in Arizona they're even still using the word oriental to describe Chinese food and all these fusion restaurants Chinese and Japanese fusion but actually it's just these all-you-can-eat buffets for about five bucks yeah yeah pretty much that's not real Chinese food no it's not and living in China for about 10 years and 12 years combined over 20 years yeah we actually know what real Chinese food is actually like exactly now of course this is America but we've already got the steaks and burgers and all that stuff out of our system trust me you got your tie cut off in it wrist got my tie cut off yeah and of cowboys enough cacti weed and we're gonna head to California to find the best and most authentic Chinese food in America can't wait the quest for the best Chinese in America see on the road [Music] oh man we've been over these dunes and I don't see any Chinese food like we better find another path oh absolutely [Music] superbugs we're in San Diego California beautiful day oh yes it's awesome out here we got you know we got the sea we've got Sun and it's fantastic we've actually been pointed in the direction of apparently what is said to be the best bouncer angélica restaurant in all of America which is pretty fantastic and it's a little ironic because the first restaurant we're gonna try is you know specializes in Bowser and the first video on my channel actually all the way back in 2008 it's got me going to a little breakfast stolen eating a Bowser so I think it's kind of ironic it is yeah what is it about enough well ok here's the thing now as we've discussed a lot Chinese breakfast is pretty dire yes I think we could say it's probably like the weakest type of Chinese we at first right for sure yeah but when it comes to Bowser that's the one breakfast food that every foreigner including myself and you actually really likes right it's basically a steamed bun and inside you can get meat vegetables and all sorts of different fillings and it's pretty delicious so I'm seriously looking forward to me too now ironically also for me the first food I had in China after I got off the plane other than pig brains each is at the same restaurant was jonesing and Jones's dumplings ya know if you've had dumplings in Chinese restaurants here in America you've probably had pot stickers and those what's why is it called a puff stick because they stick to the pot I used wonton wrappers okay and they're really sticky really thick much more similar to Japanese gyoza all right so the ones that we have in China you know there's steam they're fluffy they're full of all kinds of different fillings got lamb grab chicken pork all kinds of stuff and I remember it being a very special meal for me because I never had dumplings like that before well we've heard through the grapevine that this in fact is the best place for this stuff so I feel like we got to hit the road and enjoy the beautiful sunshine and seaside yeah get there yeah can't wait see you at the restaurant [Music] the name of the restaurant in here it's great Wow and it's like the same tone in China a famous building great wall but it's just wo W for my dad personally he doesn't want to change the taste he actually tried a lot of places in the US and San Diego before he opened this restaurant just wanted to know how like Americans like the taste of Chinese food well he tried it and then he's like this is not Chinese food I'm not gonna do the same thing so that's why he started to do his own dumpling and the UM BAM funny a machine too much a controller to was hang on so he's really sort of a dollop on it some of the really tacky we know it'll take a little all the time that's already the channel Paula take a photo of the wanna hear your beautiful the Arlen occur not to go around Canton Ohio C&D are you late Obama I'm show me wonder why you know so instantly a restaurant today in question is great Wow it's kind of a plan yeah the are famous for their jobs of which we've explained our dumpling so yeah here we go turns out they have a lot of different kinds of jobs in here not just one and I was super pleased to talk to the boss here earlier yeah and they're actually from Beijing know most of the Chinese people that you'll meet in Chinese restaurants in America are either from so that was kind of a treat and this is northern food which we love yeah why don't you talk talk through what we got today well first of all got this massive balls over here this thing's huge I mean you know besides your face really kind of their specialty I mean they were explaining that they used to make the normal sized ones and then they decided to make bigger ones kind of probably because Americans like big portions too right but he said this is a gone bad eating one right so that's comp our chicken yeah everybody knows all the foreigners that's the foreign of foreigners meal you know what I mean so I got to give it a bike let's do it okay mmm good thanks for offering me one it's actually it's I've never had this before because it's unique so I come it's good right it's really good I can't give it an authenticity this is this threw me for a loop yeah you know why he's going about Dini I really expected it to be full of like kung pao chicken itself but even better it's the meat flavored like kung pao chicken which is awesome so it's almost like weed picture a pork or a hamburger patty yeah flavored like kung pao chicken then you'd have a slightly sweet Monto surrounding it you have an amazing buzzer hmm is this the biggest buzz you've ever had no no you get bigger yeah there are places in chinjung I can get bigger buzzer but it is right up there compared to most buzzer that have had none I'm a browser aficionado as far as I often test me you know I've never had a compiler good one it's definitely not not hired give it like a 3 or 4 out of 10 for authenticity but on the taste scale I'm definitely giving it like a 7 7 or even a night that's awesome I'm gonna go for an 8 I'm gonna taste scale also agree with you or the authenticity I mean it's not like nothing I've ever had before only very light shine even has it prove me wrong getting something Jazza which one you want so these are gonna be the pork and onion doubts and these are your classic when I suggested but one thing you have to do if you're gonna eat Chinese dumpling especially northern style and you're gonna mix your own sauce yeah yeah so I like to use a little bit of chili oil you catch a lot amount okay we are Tyler we are Tyler we are last so ah okay and this is the slices I only use a little bit so it says I'm a fan of vinegar so I go all in on the bin dc1 shih tzu yeah basically they use dark vinegar usually for these yep and you take one some cheeky folk will cut one open and let the vinegar kind of soak inside yeah I like to just get the casing on the outside so two good ideas go for this bad boy let you in first I'm gonna talk about it okay hang on to the I can say I can say comedian yeah no I only like to just put soy sauce I'm not interested in all that vinegar malarkey whatever we're in America you can be yourself yeah absolutely now I'm gonna just give it a shot all right was it great do you give yourself a little splash I know it's there I enjoyed it so much I dropped it let's try that again mmm fantastic the pork inside of there is still well seasoned and that's something that actually makes it better than a lot of jobs I've had in China is it actually seems like they actually marinated it right yeah really good onion taste a little bit of garlic kind of garlic in there too yeah a little bit I would say more care was put into the filling than most places I've had in China absolutely authenticity I mean wouldn't you say the outside shell like the noodle is actually like a weak base noodle I I'd say that to be honest this is very high on the authenticity right because I've had gels are just like this exactly this I have to give it a ten yeah I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 for what the anisa tea for the person early what about the taste as for taste I have to say this and it might break some hearts in mainland China but in a way it's one of the better jobs I've had in my life I'd say it's actually it tastes fresher it tastes like you can trust the ingredients inside of its just kind of bites the tongue a little bit with the onion and garlic I like it quite a bit more than jaws I usually eat and I'm gonna give it a 9 out of 10 for taste okay that's awesome I mean I'm not a big jazz guy usually but I'm gonna give it an 8 just because it is delicious and you're absolutely right you know when you're working with the right ingredients you know you can really make a good recipe even better so absolutely so 10 out of 10 authenticity 8 out of 10 for taste for me sounds good what's next shall we move on yeah okay so Lily next we're gonna have these spicy very very spicy looking dogs here oh yeah you go for that I know well you're not very good at eating spicy though well you know what I'm gonna give it a shot uh-huh these are the one time see these are not quite your traditional jobs oh it definitely comes in a very spicy sauce it almost looks like they use loud combo yeah it looks like this log on my nephew which is a kind of sauce very popular in China it is yeah it doesn't smell super spicy mm yeah it's fantastic right yeah really good soft wontons hmm almost like a bean paste taste to it okay quite nice I'd like super yeah I'll give it a shot just as is let's see this is you know Cheers told you out there it's nice it's really nice right yeah I have to say off the bat though I'm not used to having that flavour in China so the flavors yeah kind of unique this is not what this place is famous for but we just ordered them cuz we've wanted to try them you know and give it a shot and what do you think so far I think there's a pretty those are really really good definitely try this out for sure now one thing we're really familiar with in China though is Shalom bow yeah which translates the little dragon bag pretty much yeah yeah they're kind of Shanghai style dumpling soup in them right yep exactly and what you do is you put them in a spoon you kind of puncture them so the you know the soup comes up be careful it can be really hot I'm just throw it in your mouth mm-hmm really good show them about okay awesome I'm gonna go all natural mm-hmm I like how they they actually like hand kind of knead all the dough and stuff and really quick care into how it looks which is really nice and they don't give yeah not as much as as for authenticity tenets and again completely what you'd get I've had that Incheon absolutely you get them in all the dim sum restaurants things like that that's really authentic yeah and the taste again for me it's an 8 out of 10 I give it I'm gonna give a 7 out of 10 okay I've had soupier ones okay I mean but very very good very very good stuff excellent so the only thing remaining is our authentic bowser yeah this is the kind of the the coup de grâce is what we came here for right me never give me half of that one absolutely here you grab this really really hot give me a sec you gotta get him on there hustling went out absolutely okay we gonna give it a shot oh yeah walking to work my first couple years in China mmm hot roadside buzzy you don't really know what it is and you first get there you know what are these steamed buns you get one sometimes you get the veggie wanted to get the meat really cool the way it's prepared on the side of the road to psych for sure smoke billowing out with steam ready right especially on the cold morning you just see this like steam and it right so interesting and everyone's crowding around and grabbing these hot steamy buns you know what makes these better than that is that it seems like there's almost a gravy in it right where's it's not you know how you'll bite into a pods in China it's just kind of a brick of meat and then you have to eat the bread around yeah this is kind of soaking it all up and it's a nice gravy it tastes delicious nothin to see in a way is almost difficult to say because I like it better than most bugs I've ever had does that make it less up I think I don't think so we're not seeing for if the ingredients are there it's got the same flavor it's just a little more so because they're using better ingredients right it's definitely high up there on the authenticity I'd say the Bowser here except for the Americanized kung pao chicken ones right you know these ones are absolutely you know top-notch I'd say definitely 10 out of 10 I'm definitely gonna say Tintin and for taste I'm I might go 10 on this one I'm pals is one of my favorite foods so I'm a little biased but I'm gonna go for a 9 that's just because I know you get better stuff out there but in the world as far as Basler kin are concerned I don't think you get better than this no this is this is top-notch definitely up there for sure but by the way I can confirm I think this is definitely the best buzz in Jaws I've had ahead in America that's for sure what dish would if you could only pick one to stack there just just the bottom another poke the normal poke balls are right absolutely delicious I'm an agree agree with that but I'm also gonna throw on get this get a plate of these pork and onion Chow's as well yeah these are just frickin a lesson I love dancing and it's a really good to have this kind of stuff in America it's strange I love music you still lo mein and the general toes chicken yeah no this is fantastic so wait I think we can say it's a pretty authentic list [Music] so that was interesting I really did not expect that to be as authentic as it actually was it was it was actually really really really was I you know the whole point of this trip is we're not trying to plug restaurants or anything no so a restaurants get stuck it's gonna suck but I can't say that one no it didn't absolutely not no and the bosses friendly can't speak into English but his daughter that's his daughter yeah she can speak English just fine you know locals were walking past the door and saying hey this place is awesome yeah they're all shouting at us all we're shooting the video it's pretty cool no I liked it and you know I was kind of expecting this trip to be all about you know spring rolls and sweet and sour chicken and general tolls this and that but we're we're off to a good start that we're already good we absolutely are well tomorrow we have a big day ahead of us ready
