So I wouldn't say that the students working in restaurants are illegally working. What my dad means is that young people should learn to work on their own and not depend on their families so much.

Any international student can apply for such kind of job on campus. Besides, a F-1 student can work out of campus as long as the student gets a work permit. Usually if a student does not have any income, he can get a work permit. That is about more than 15 years ago. Now most Chinese students do not need to do it any more--their families have money to support them. To work in student cafiteria is on campus job, which is totally legal.

However, I don't think see Chinese international students working in a restaurant is a good thing, regardless what the reason might be. First of all, it is illegal for international students with F-1 visa to work off-campus and majority of international students from China are on F-1 visa. I think that it is good to see that much fewer Chinese students work illegally in the states. Second, I have read somewhere before that it is much easier for reasonably smart Chinese students to obtain scholarship or fellowship in universities nowadays. Third, we have more and more "schools" and "agencies" in China helping students applying for US universities and financial aids. Forth, I do observe that there are more Chinese students come to US to pursue bachelor degree, which offer less opportunities for research-based fellowship or scholarship. Quite a few of them are solely sponsored by their family in China. However, I also observed that undergraduate international students from China are much more smarter at getting funding or jobs on campus and make their own living legally. I think that this is because the change of our culture and quick adaption to new culture among younger international students. In general, I think that seeing less Chinese students working in restaurant illegally is not a bad thing at all. However, I cannot deny that there are a lot of Chinese students are living on their family's support from China.
