When Chinese families are pressed for time but want delicious, authentic Chinese food, they head to these take-out shops. Duck, chicken, or roast pork tenderloin, which are usually served with white rice, are among the most popular choices. These meats are generally sold by the pound or portion thereof, and can be chopped up to bite size or left intact. We highly recommend trying this Cantonese style of take-out dining. Note that deli items are available only from the mid-morning until they are sold out, which can be in the early evening or sooner, depending on the reputation and popularity of the deli restaurant.
Chinese people demand high quality and variety in the fast foods they consume.
The style of dining these shops offer consists primarily of a dish served with rice, or a variety of noodles. This dining style is usually available from late morning on until closing. This style is usually for individuals and families who do not have the time or want to spend the money for a la carte dining. We have found that Cantonese cuisine offers one of the most extensive varieties of foods and dining styles of any ethnicity in the world. Opportunities abound now in restaurants located both on the streets of Chinatown and in the nearby suburbs, with the growth of restaurant competition fueled by the increased sophistication of tastes.
