I'm so sick of people misunderstanding Asians in America and what we're about.

I don't think people in America understand race, and how deep the hooks of whiteness there are in our consciousness.

Sundays are for Dim Sum. While the rest of America goes to church, Sunday School, or NFL games, you can find Chinese people eating Cantonese food.

People talk about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment; you just want to capture that.

New York felt to me like what America should be - a representation of the world in this small pocket.

I saw an opportunity to use a restaurant to identify a lot of my issues and concerns with being an immigrant in America, and Asian in America, and a young person in America.
