the "top" 50 Chinese restaurants in the USA

when I saw Chef Chu at #3, I didn't bother to look at the rest of the list - the dudes who voted must have all been Caucasian.

I see PF Chang did not make it. As I term it, "Chinese Food for people who like a bite of Chinese food while they are shopping in the mall "

Keep on mongering

Little surprised they left out places in Canada like Vancouver and Toronto.

Agreed JeSun.  The American palate knows little about real food from across the pond anyway.  Whenever I see a new listing of the 'best of' anything, my first question is 'who wrote this ?'  My criteria in choosing a new restaurant, look for only the nationals eating there who represent the type of food offered; i.e. all Chinese in a Szechuan restaurant, or all Vietnamese in a Pho restaurant, etc.  It is usually a pretty good indicator that the food will be more faithful to the original.  Also a menu in all foreign characters is a good hint for the authentic food.

Just my thoughts.

This list made me laugh.  The best Chinese food joints are hole in the wall places, and as Blue_Pacific says, full of nationals.  There are couple of places in LA that my China friends insist on going to when they are in town.  It's basically the same food as on the mainland, but fewer bones.  And the service is the same too.  Things just come out of the kitchen whenever they are ready.

Hmm I don't post usually because I've lost the ability to monger (finances and geographical location) but I found it surprising that my uncle's store is on that list. My whole family agrees however that in terms of quality that the best Chinese food we've ever had was actually located in Vancouver BC.
