Had Chinese food for dinner on Fri night (take-out). Worst I've ever had and there have been some bad ones. Tasted like the food was taken out of the dumpster. Rice must of been from the lunch crowd (had funny smell to it), ribs were dry, won ton soup wasn't too bad. I'll probably never eat Chinese again after this experience. And it cost 18 bucks to boot for 2 dinners.
Our chinese restaurant is called Yum Me, (not kidding) and it is pretty good. My only complaint would be, when I get an order of Shrimp Lo Mien, it costs more but you only get 8 tiny little shrimp. I'm not talking good gulf shrimp, but the puny little shrimp they catch up here.
There are good and bad restaurants of all cuisines. Most of the Chinese restaurants are very decent around Boston and NYC because those cities have Chinatowns and a decent sized Chinese population. Also, Jewish neighborhoods tend to have good Chinese restaurants too. Also, China is a very big country and there are vast differences between the different regions within that country. Mandarin, szechuan, cantonese and shanghai style cooking are just a few variations of Chinese cuisine.
I've experienced both good and bad American, Mexican, Greek, Indian and Italian restaurants.
All of the Chinese restaurants that I've tried in the Wilmington, NC area are lousy. Even one that I've heard praised as "Wilmington's finest Chinese restaurant."
I'm from Boston and it was all good up there, as far as Chinese food goes, anyway. Even the little hole-in-the-wall takeout only places had great food.

I direct you to Wo Hops in N.Y.C. (17 Mott Street, downstairs). Sample their fried dumplings and Wo Hop steak. You will be a believer . Enjoy!
If you ever get into a real Chinese restaurant. 99% Chinese patrons. Try ordering the the Wor Toy. It is usually just in Chinese. You order a Wor Toy for two or three or more. Very economical and authentic.

Here in the United States, I'd find it very odd for any restaurant to have it's patrons be exclusively of a particular ethnic, cultural or national origin.
What exactly is Wor Toy?
