^ Pho is good. Used to eat it once a month. But a big part of the charm about Vietnamese food is the low price. Pho used to be $3.50 a bowl in the Valley but now it is $4.75. So I don't eat Pho much anymore. At that price, I'd rather get Ramen.

Heard Vietnamese food is still really affordable in other parts of L.A. that's good.

Chinese is definitely the best one much more diverse , I heard the Vietnamese dish "Pho" was invented by the Chinese

it's just a variation of a Chinese dish

Any dish of Viet food from a typical Viet restaurant here ranges from around 6 to 8 dollar.

But many go above to 9-10 dollars and some go below to 4-5 dollars.

Edit:
Hm on the topic, I didn't have good experiences with Thai food. I looked for some authentic Thai restaurants with good reviews but the food there disappointed me. I ended up leaving behind half of the all the food I ordered because I couldn't eat them. The good thing about Thai restaurants is that their customer services are so nice! I like their attitudes. They greet you when you walk in, always say something kind and polite to you instead of the simple "what do you want?" questions. When they give you your meal, they would wish you enjoy your meal and check back once awhile to make sure you're enjoying their food (though the last part can be make you feel a bit uncomfortable sometimes). It's totally different from the customer services in Viet restaurants around here where things just go like: "What do you want?" "I want lah lah" "Ok here". *Eat*

I got one experience with Indonesian food and it was pretty good (The food I had was satay and some dish whose named started with "Nasi"). Though the service was kinda bad. I was very hungry when I stepped into the restaurant and the lady let us wait for like an hour before serving food to us (compared to about 10 minutes of waiting I often have in regular Viet restaurants in Little Saigon). I understood that they needed time to make the food but waiting just drove me mad especially when I was very hungry (the lady was talking on her cell phone for a long time, and it took them like 15 minutes just to bring us cans of coke then another 10 minutes just to bring us some bowls, then some spoons and forks...). So I didn't go back to that Indonesian restaurant again. Still looking for some Indonesian restaurant with better services so I can try more of their food.

My experience with Japanese food was pretty bad. I tried to eat sushi many times at different places but I still couldn't swallow it. Once I tried some "Miso noodles" and it was like the worst noodles I've ever head. I know many people like Japanese food but unfortunately I haven't had a good experience with it. Still looking for some reputable Japanese place to find out.

Chinese food are everywhere. I used to like it, but recently I think I just grew out of it. Maybe too much Panda Express lol. I think I like the Chinese food outside the Canton region. Cantonese food are a bit overrated (well for one thing, they are often a bit too salty for my liking and sometimes they're quite oily, maybe it's just the restaurants.)

I've only had Korean BBQ once and it was pretty good. At least I liked it. icon_smile.gif

Never had any experience with "real" Filipino food and Indian food (aside from the ones served at my campus food court, but I know they are not real Indian food, more like Americanized versions lol).

^ Chinese fast food is garbage. I can't believe you can stomach it. It's not real Cantonese food anyways. Real Cantonese food is very light.

Yeah, Chinese food is pretty broad.

^ No, I was talking about the Chinese food I had in Chinese restaurants in general, like Seafood Cove for example, but maybe it's just the restaurants, I don't know about homemade Chinese food.

Panda Express was just among the things made me sick of Chinese food recently. I never ate Panda Express until the past few months when I didn't have time to drive for like 30 minutes to some Asian community for food, so I just had to settle for the Panda Express place on my campus. embarassedlaugh.gif At least it's a good alternative of chicken nugget, burger and fries, which I usually have when I'm lazy. embarassedlaugh.gif

another favorite asian food is Filipino foods, one of my favorite restaurants is a place called "KUSINA NI TESS" in San Francisco, the food is already cooked and you just tell them what you want, it's kind of set up like Panda Express, but the food is better more like filipino home style dishes.
