Chinese got Peking duck and dim sum and great noodles
Japanese got sushi and hibachi and sake
Vietnamese got banh mi and pho and banh xeo
Korean got BBQ and awesome side dishes
Thai got pad Thai and awesome coconut dishes
Taiwanese got bobba tea and great small dishes

Chinese and Vietnamese for me

All inferior to I-talian food.

I've just never been a fan of grossly overrated gaysian food.

Raw fish heads and rice just doesn't do it for me...

I'm Italian myself but yet I do get tired of Italian dishes fairly easily. I seriously would prefer Thai and French food.

Food from El Salvadore > French, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Persian

Ooooh...someone knows good food and knows it well. [I'm impressed with the Viet dishes - about no one knows the names except pho).

Italian food wasn't being compared.

Neither was Swedish.

Nor Cuban.

Capiche?

Thai wins for me. I'm not a big fan of pad thai, but love getting dishes thai hot. Not 3 peppers, but 7. When it is so hot it hurts. Japanese is probably next. But I do love dim sum and pho...

It's all good, and we are very lucky in FFU world with the variety. I am partial to Thai food and like Vietnamese pho on a cold winter day. Korean food is pretty good, but not made for carry-out or those unfamiliar with it, at least in these parts. The Burmese restaurant Myanmar in Falls Church is excellent and a real gem. However, I do wish we had a Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant 'round here.

1.thai
2.chinese
3.japanese

We're having crepes tonight (which is banh xeo if the phonetic matches up) - spring onion, bean sprouts, shrimp, possibly even chick peas all cooked into/wrapped with the rice flour batter, then covered with veggies like raw shredded cucmber, mint, some wierd veggie similar to lettuce but a lot darker - and the special sauce made with fish sauce, hot peppers, vinegar, sugar, etc.

Yum.

She (wife) says that's "sesame leaf" - cool flavor. Also had lettuce and basil in addiiton to the mint.

Double yum.

My wife and daughter love that stuff - I'm sorta "meh" w.r.t., though.
