I don't understand chinese restaurants that will cut broccoli and the like into unmanageable pieces, too big for a bite. Idk if it's cultural or a scheme of the all you can eat buffets to lessen the ability to shovel food into your mouth so quickly. Didn't work on me, all you can eat buffets are a mission for me to make them lose money.

I can't speak to Chinese Chinese, but a lot of east Asia cuts things into pieces one can pick up with chopsticks and eat in one bite. I haven't been to a US Chinese buffet in years, but I don't recall overly-large pieces the last time I went. Where I grew up (rural Ohio) not many people used chopsticks I til fairly recently, so maybe I'm forgetting my younger days or perhaps something else is going on.
