All of the restaurants I've been to have English on the menus once you get inside. Just used my nose not the signs to find the good ones.

If you authentic Chinese, the best way to find it is to eat where the Chinese eat themselves. If the place is full of white people, then odds are you're getting sweet and sour chicken balls!

ummm....sweet and sour chicken balls, sweet and sour were common items at the box lunch buffets I ate at for years. It's just not as sweet nor as salty as the stuff eaten here. Most restaurants there you picked the items or there were pictures of set meals

Immigrants should be coming here for a better life, not as a security backup.

Good. Now apply this thought to the moslems and you and I will get along much, much better.

I do and they do. Not really interested in getting along with somebody that spews that much hate.

I grew up in East Van/Burnaby. I used to be able to tell you the best places for Chinese, but I moved beyond Hope decades ago. Nothing here but "railway Chinese" (eggrolls the size of hand grenades, doughballs with mystery meat, chow mein with sliced sandwich meat on top) so I'm lost now.
Our two Chinese friends moved back down there, there are only three families of Chinese descent left in town. Their kids are about as Chinese as I am Italian....
Made friends with a couple who ran a restaurant in Vanderhoof a few years back. She HATED it up here, zero other Asians. He used to complain 'damn cowboys and Indians only want to eat shit' wouldn't even taste the decent food on the menu. They lasted only a little over a year, in a town of 5000 with only one other Chinese place.

So noted.
