hyphenated chinese restaurants?
Grace Young frequently mentions cuisines from the Chinese diaspora: Chinese-Jamaican, Chinese Peruvian, Chinese-Mexican, etc. Interesting.
What are some good (tasty, not yuppie) Chinese-XXXXX restaurants in the Bay Area?
Thanks.
Rec's for good old school Chinese-American and I'm happy.

There is Chifa Peruano, but I haven't been

I'd rather get the Chifa dishes at Mochica than return to Chifa Peruano.

The only places I know of (outside of generic Chinese-American) are Chinese-Korean: Great China in Berkeley, Chef Yu's in Oakland .

Would San Tung fit the Chinese-Korean bill?

and who is Grace Young? The owners of Inka's are ethnic Chinese Peruvians, but the food is pretty traditional Peruvian.
The best hyphenated restaurants in the Bay Area are not Chinese + something else.
I'd nominate the unlikely Avatars in Sausalito for its Punjabi-Mexican and Punjabi-Jamaican dishes.

Grace Young is a San Francisco native who is an authority on stir-frying (Breath of a Wok, Stir-frying to the Sky's Edge). Her family owned one of the largest restaurants in Chinatown, Sun Hung Heung (now Chinatown Restaurant).
Even "traditional" Peruvian fare has Chinese influences. Lomo Saltado, for instance, is a Peruvian-Chinese invention.

Yeah, that's the chifa dish I was thinking of at Mochica. They make it at Costanera, too.

There are a few places serving Desi Chinese standards, but I'm not current on who's good at Chinese-Indian these days. This would be dishes like chili chicken, gobi manchurian, hakka noodles, etc. Anyone?

When I was in Miami this past January, there were a few Chinese Jamaican hole in the wall places serving mainly Jamaican dishes, with some hint of "Chinese." Too bad, I never got a chance to try. Wanted to really try some of the curry and ox tail....
