[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of it is the physical restaurant. I rarely see nice places to eat Thai or Chinese, whereas it's possible to find fancy dining with Italian or French.

I'm with you on the French. Their food is thoroughly overrated.[/quote]

Because it is a chicken and egg.  Who wants to dump millions into fine dining fir Chinese or Thai if the vast majority of consumers associate it ‘cheap eats’ and it’d be hard pressed to get them to spend $30-50 per entree?   Yet look at an Italian place, they can serve you mid food like chicken parm with boxed pasta and charge you $30+ per plate. [/quote]

You never heard of places like Moon Rabbit, Slanted Door, Hiraya, any number of luxe sushi restaurants with omakase?[/quote]

Japanese food is the only one that gets premium treatment from westerners.  It’s kinda funny too, because Japanese food is pretty bland. It must be a thing - the more bland and one dimensional your food is, the more premium it gets. [/quote]
lol  I kind of agree, not that you state this.[/quote]
