I have searched Los Angeles for 20 years for authentic NY/Chinese food and when Uncle Chen's opened up I assumed it was another "NY-Style" Chinese restaurant. Well, one look at the menu showed some different items you only see back east, like cold-sesame noodles..so we gave it a try. Of course I loved it and hubby, who's a native Angeleno...hated it, since he likes west-coast tasting Chinese food. The owner is from Valley Stream on LI/Queens, so of course he's a New Yorker and they have REAL eggrolls, thick!! and duck sauce! and on and on.....! Give it a try and see if you like it too!
