The story follows the course of Eddie Huang's Chinese family as they make their way from Chinatown of Washington, DC to Orlando, Florida, to open a cowboy-themed steak restaurant in 1995 (with the first season being set between 1995 and 1997). His mother struggles with the culture clash between her upbringing and a Florida community that does not have a large Asian population, his father embraces the "American Dream", and Eddie struggles with assimilating into school.
