Nah, there’s a Chinese place about 5 minutes from my house that is either some rich guy’s shitty project, or more likely, a money laundering front.
Place is never ordered from, only ever has the same 3 cars in the lot, and has been open for about 15 years. It survived COVID when half the restaurants in my city had to close up shop.
I went in once about 10 years ago, and the food was just god awful. No flavor and it looked like week old microwaved Chinese. The whole place was filthy and I was amazed it hadn’t been shut down.
No way that OP stumbled into a front and actually enjoyed the food, even if they were as high as the space station.
I agree with your conclusion, you usually don’t run the front for real to fly under the radar better. Maybe I thought about underground restaurants I’ve seen a couple of times targeting plentiful chinese tourists? I’ve been in a couple of these. Ground level, no signs, mute chinese personal, hierogliphs on the menu and just a word of a month from locals that you can fill your stomack for pennies there. Maybe they stumbled upon one such place and can’t recall where it was.
Anon frightened off a front for chinese international operations. He looked so weird they thought it’s an undercover agent.

this was funny. I like you.

They did wish he was covered.
Me, I’m good to go.
