Detroit's Chinatown is Asian Village. It's not what you'd call a DC or Montreal styled Chinatown. Here's a video.

That Resturant in the middle of San Gabriel Mall was horrible.
Oakland is good, a lot of it has been redeveloped I used to go over there regularly
(I am a Ying Kee Noodle Dandy)

I like Clement St. San Francisco, the variety is better than anywhere else

I don't think anyone argued that Houston's Chinatown could go toe-to-toe with NYC or SF. Backyard was only refuting some of the comments that Houston did not have a "real" Chinatown.

Just to clear something up, Houston Chinatown is a mix of all types of Asian cultures, not just Chinese
.
And that is what makes Houston's suburban Chinatown unique compared to those much larger, established urban cities. In Houston's Chinatown there are a mix of Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Indonesian, Indian, & Filipino businesses.
