"LIFE TASTES GOOD transcends the bounds of its noirish leanings by effortlessly blending in deadpan comedy and familial pathos, resulting in a richly textured cinematic souffle. As a model for asserting the "all Americanness" of US-born Asians, it rightfully smashes the limiting conventions promoted by Hollywood stereotypes." - Seattle International Film Festival
