  8. Chinese Food Stores & etc.

    in Stateside

    Gee, I hardly know where to start.

     

    Off hand, I can readily think of 3 99Ranch markets (aka DaWa), Valley Supermarket, Shun Fat, and a few other Asian supermarkets within 4 miles of our home.

     

    Am I supposed to give you their addresses?

     

    I think for the west coast it's easier to refer to the Yellow Pages. :P

    Well I thought I might just list whole commuinities in those areas. I need to do the same about Houston. But now Little Rock, AR......We have found only 3 stores so far. Word of mouth only gave us 2.

     

    What would be nice in large Asian communities like that is to give a review and list where you shop and why.

    Man, I can't find but one and that is 20 minutes away in Media and that is a small produce store and thats Korean ( nice lady though ) and will get any thing I need but it is small.

  23. Where in the US to Move

    I'll second the Houston recommendation.

    The Chinese part of town is pretty extensive. They have a locally-published Chinese newspaper...or, at least they did 10 years ago. Street signs in Chinese, too.

    Of course, there is plenty of Asian melting-pot there, not just Chinese; but still: lots of really good, authentic Chinese restaurants, supermarkets, etc.

    The cost of the living is extremely low for such a large, convenient metropolis, too.

     

    I hear Austin, TX, has a significant Chinese population, as well, but no China/Asia-town.

     

    For the most part, nearly any sizeable population center will have at least a few Chinese folks. Even in San Angelo, TX (pop. 88k), there are a dozen total native Chinese speakers working at various restaurants and teaching at the University. I ask them how they hear about San Angelo, and they say that they had a friend who told them about it...

     

    For example, Montgomery Alabama has a big enough Chinese community to have at least one Chinese church (although as of 7 years ago, it lacked its own building and met in an established church's sunday school room).

    Thanks A Mafan, where you been?
