While Asian restaurants as a whole dominate much of the country’s food scene — amounting to 12% of all restaurants — the subgroups that fall under it have drastically different levels of representation.

Chinese restaurants are the most common type of Asian restaurant by far, which experts said is unsurprising. In fact, 39% of all Asian restaurants in the country are Chinese restaurants, outranking Japanese and Thai, which follow at 28% and 11%, respectively. “I think what unites these two cases is higher education and the capacity to speak English,” said Krishnendu Ray, an associate professor of Food Studies at New York University. “If you speak English and have a college degree, you do not get into the restaurant business. The restaurant business is a very tight business, a very labor intensive business. It’s mostly sweat capital.”
“Depending on the city, depending on the place, what we call Indian food is largely cooked by Bangladeshis,” he said. “There are many more Japanese restaurants in the United States, but most Japanese restaurants in the United States are not run by Japanese chefs … most Japanese-style food in the U.S. today is produced by Koreans and Chinese and the Latinx population.”
Japanese food has been up and coming for several decades, and now casual sushi spots and chopstick use are a fixture of life in most big cities. Korean food has also rocketed in popularity in recent years with the emergence of South Korea as a cultural power, according to Ray.“The presence of Japanese food, the strength of Thai food, and the emerging presence of Korean food is linked to the political, economic and cultural entanglement that is not there in the Indian case,” Ray said.
