China City Restaurant in Bloomsburg

Restaurant Environment

        When a Chinese boy steps into this Chinese restaurant located in Bloomsburg, he is greeted with rich spices and culinary flavors that give him a taste of home. Bright lights spill over and reflect the red and gold decorative elements, giving the whole space a warm and bustling atmosphere. He is mesmerized by the traditional Chinese artwork that covered the walls, which included Chinese knots, paintings, and lanterns, showcasing China's long cultural history. Chinese elements are also incorporated into the décor of the restaurant, such as red curtains, carved wooden furniture, Chinese calendars, and the famous Chinese architecture: the Oriental Pearl Tower.

        An aroma hits his nose and makes his mouth water. The sound of knives cutting vegetables and pots and pans emanates from the kitchen, where a chef wears a white chef's outfit, complete with a high, white hat and mask to ensure food safety and hygiene. They wear aprons and their hands deftly operate various kitchen utensils, skillfully mastering the heat and seasoning, making him even more excited about the food he was about to taste. The waiter gives him a warm wave and brings him a menu. After informing me that he was Chinese, she kindly recommended dishes in Chinese. The restaurant offers a wide variety of Chinese dishes, from delicate dim sum to hearty entrees. Whether it's Cantonese barbecued pork buns, Sichuanese mapo tofu, or Hunan chicken. The boy is confused by the food choices and asks for recommendations. "Kung Pao Chicken, Sichuan chicken, Hunan chicken and Curry beef.", she smiles.

        While waiting for his food, the boy chats with the owner for a while. The owners are from Fujian and have been in the restaurant business in the US for more than 20 years. The boy is amazed, " Most Chinese people who start a business in the U.S. would choose the restaurant industry. Is that, why is this?" "The majority of Chinese people will choose the track, the need for technical threshold is not high, the initial investment does not need to be too big every day can have a stable cash flow, coupled with the U.S. side of the catering in fact not as domestic so voluminous, catering is not necessarily to make a unique taste of the amazing to survive, so open a restaurant is a very stable business," shrugs the owner.

        However, running a restaurant in a foreign country is not an easy job. The boy is confused by the language barrier. He scratched his head with doubt, "I wondered if you could communicate well with American customers." He smiled and said, "Actually, we only know some English expressions related to food and beverage, how to guide customers to order, introduce food to customers, and so on." "Language and cultural differences can be the first obstacle entrepreneurs face. Without familiarity with English, communication with suppliers, employees, and customers may suffer. For example, it is important to understand the significance of contractual terms and commercial agreements when negotiating prices and delivery details with suppliers." the owner added. The boy hears that there is actually a Chinese-English bilingual waitress inside the store, who was found through a company that helped them a lot.
