Well researched - of course! Written with exceptional detail in an easy to read voice. Possibly too exhaustive in presentation... first half of the book was an exceptionally detailed history of the Chinese in America. It wasn't until the second half that good became the primary character. This book says more about culture than specific foods. Great for the academically inclined.
