Local holidays do not mean closing down. They remain a haven for hungry patrons. Customers are almost never turned away for failing to book an advance reservation. Occasionally an upscale Manhattan or Beverly Hills location refuses a customer, but this is not typical. The Chinese restaurateur gives totally balanced service to all his customers.
Chinese cuisine has zero tolerance for animal rights groups.
The only qualification for what is prepared by the chef is that it fits in the wok and will taste good. Yet the Chinese chef demonstrates enormous tolerance when, for example, although perplexed by the vegetarian, he still manages to create magnificent dishes that satisfy even those idiosyncratic customers. In most places, Chinese food affords excellent value for the consumer's money. And although it is not a prime consideration for the kitchen, Chinese food is nutritious and low in calories while delighting the taste buds with unique flavors. It remains a custom in many Chinese restaurants around the world that the patron examines the fish or fowl before it's cooked thus, once again guaranteeing fresh fare.
