JIAYANG FAN, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

"At its best, Kwan's book reveals the ways in which diasporic Chinese restaurants are like test kitchens experimenting in opportunities for a better life, however nebulous that pursuit might be ... Perhaps owing to his experience as a documentary filmmaker, Kwan structures his story into episodes organized by place, although the more compelling drama is in the multigenerational family evolutions through time ... Kwan's book is a kind of love letter to his varied homes and a memorial to his journey through them, as refracted through the lives of far-flung strangers."
