One thing that I've found interesting is the roaring success of Taiwanese chain restaurants in mainland cities. Can you find these chains in the US or other overseas locations?

The more upscale of these chains seem to offer fairly high quality food ( at least to my undeveloped palate ) such as soups, dumplings, appetizers etc. and feature nice "Chinese" interior design. Loud, busy and tasty...

With the current "neo-Chinese" trend in the US and Europe, could this concept make it there? Has it been tried?
