Kang's Yujean Gourmet Chinese   

First of all, the headline has the name backwards.. It is Yujean Kang's. Secondly, coming from Boston, I find it tough to find Chinese food on the west coast that apporaches the level of the northeast. This is one of the best. Medium size, very nice inside, pleasant service, good prices and GREAT food. I have been there about a dozen times, and every dish has been one I would have again.

Back in my younger days as a highly impressionable 16 y/o, I had the privilege of possessing something that not too many of my peers had: a job. I figured it would be my opportunity to shine, excel, and at the same time, earn some spending money. My cousin (who had been working there for almost a year at the time) had spoken highly of me to the owners to get me the job; I did not want to let him down. I quickly learned that in an environment delimited by the prominent actors/actresses of Hollywierd, the price for service surpasses the amount of money that one may spend for it. I worked my proverbial butt off for Yujean and Yvonne (wife/co-owner) only to have them moderate my hours in hopes that I would quit. Ultimately, my congeniality, sincerity, and affable personality with the customers did not overshadow the speed at which I worked. As Yvonne abruptly put it, "You're not being efficient." Sure, the hispanic workers were so quick to rob the customers of their last morsel, but seldom did they understand or tend to the needs of the customer. I was disillusioned because I was giving the customers what I would want from a waiter/server: personal attention...to let them know that I care about what they want. My service to this establishment lasted 9 months...but those 9 months prepared me for the reality of and corruption of the food service industry.

everything is absolutely wonderful!!!! a little pricey (not horrendous though) and well worth every penny.

Don't like fusion/mix/dreamed up dishes. Prefer honest/straight/true/ traditional/real Chinese, or Italian, French, Indian, Thai, etc. for that matter. Food, decor, music, staff all must be authentic. Really hate NOT THIS NOT THAT, not here not there.
