Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the life of Asian-American restaurateur, chef, food personality, and former lawyer Eddie Huang. He serves as the show's narrator in the first season.
- GoofsThe characters make many references to visiting Jack In the Box, an American fast food chain. Whilst a handful of Jack In The Box outlets were in Florida in the 1970s, they were all closed down by 1980 and didn't return until the 2020s. Jack In The Box is very popular in California, where the show is filmed, and writers made the decision to ignore the anachronism in favor of fulfilling a paid product placement.

Featured review
It's the 1990's. Eddie Huang moves from Washington D.C. to Orlando, Florida with his Taiwanese family. His father (Randall Park) opens a western style steakhouse. His mother (Constance Wu) is the Asian tiger mom. Honey (Chelsey Crisp) and Marvin (Ray Wise) are their next door neighbor.
This starts with a potential for an edgy sitcom of an Asian family moving into an all-white neighborhood. In the end, it is a very standard network sitcom. This should be Eddie's story but the breakout star is Constance Wu. The kids are fine but more could have been done. Marvin's daughter Nicole could have been a great side character but she gets ghosted over time. The brothers don't get to expand their roles. The show is good network fare but it doesn't stand out other than having the Asian cast.
