Chinese food: This depends. There is an exception worthy of mentioning. For old timers, they will remember the typical old style Chop Suey type restaurant. Then in the late 1960's came a new wave of immigrants, first from Hong Kong and then from Taiwan but now from mainland China. All this plus Thai, Vietnamese, Korean barbecue and tofu thrown into the mix. Even sushi bars were not popular in the post WWII era until much later.

The old style Chop Suey joint had its distinct flavor. Most of it was catered to the Americans. And now it still does. Very few Chinese eat there but you will find Americans and even Japanese Americans going there. In Los Angeles, Little Tokyo, there was the Far East Cafe, chinese owned but a typical chop suey joint nonethelss.

Where I live, I can mention some that still serve this way, old style chop suey joint. By the way, sometimes I like to have pork chow mein (pan fried noodles).
