I don't care for Vietnamese or Thai. The latter ppl seem to go crazy for. I don't get it.
Wings. There's so little meat, and you have to eat around those little bones. I don't like chicken drumsticks either. Or steaks with gristle. Gristle is rubbery and disgusting.

Bananas. Disgusting taste, consistency and even the shape is of a cock, because banana lovers got the big gay. Even banana flavored candy is shit. Put it in any milkshake and it ruins that too, no matter how little it is
Milk chocolate is for children

Durian's just really polarizing because of it's smell.
They expire and go brown and disgusting within 2 days.
You're working from an anti banana propaganda position here but in fact a brown banana is not expired, they are perfect for smoothies and baking at that point because the sugars are concentrated.

What a horrible opinion
Clearly never ate Indian food
Salad, as in, leaf green salad - not something like potato salad - is almost universally trash.
A food so bad that you have to use an unhealthy dressing to make it palpable.
It really isn't a shock American's dislike vegetables when salad is so prevalent. I think I can count the amount of "wow, that was a great salad" I've had on one hand, and that was partially thanks to the cheese, olives, and dressing.

Get some cobb in your life. GOAT salad
Brothers and cisters, I have another reason bananas are trash. So roommate brought bananas yesterday and one of the bananas in the bunch had its opening revealed a bit, now there's flies. Just one little push can accidentally make the peel come off a bit and expose some skin. Just a little touch can bruise a bananas. They expire and go brown and disgusting within 2 days.

I also have another reason I hate bananas, I used to eat those tiny baby bananas since they were small and compact and a quick snack and since they were so small I could eat it fast enough to not really notice the taste, which also wasn't so strong in them imo.
Well one time I go and open the bag of baby bananas I had bought the day before and it was full of baby spiders :holeup :gddr5 Yup, that was the last time I bought bananas. Trash fruit.
Japanese food that isn't sushi
You do have to shell out a lot of money for a genuinely great salad. People don't know how to make dressings or actually PHYSICALLY assemble a good salad. Like it's just way easier to throw bacon and cheese on shitty iceberg with ranch on the side :yuckonce i started making my own dressing i enjoyed salad much more. that bottled shit is mostly pretty gross.
I usually make my dressings with a nut butter or seed butter base. Tahini and peanut butter.

Ah yes, the salad that is only "good" because it has bacon in it. At that point why even eat the salad? You know why you're eating it and it's not the vegetables.
For my money greek salad is the best - and probably only good - salad.
Iceberg lettuce is one of the more pointless foods on the planet.
Better than not eating any veggies at least.

I dislike the ramen I've eaten. There arent many Japanese where I live so I may not have eaten good ramen. However, I've disliked every ramen I've eaten so far. Every time I try ramen I imagine myself eating a bowl of pho instead.
Mochi is highly overrated to me and has a disgusting, skin like texture to me. Takoyaki is okay. Japanese curry that I've eaten is mediocre or worse than that. It's easily the worst curry I've eaten.
Even pockey and ramune are crap to me.
I do enjoy Japanese bread.
Granted, maybe I haven't had actual good Japanese food. But I have lots of Asian food options here and it's easily the lowest tier of Asian food for me. Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean all destroy it in my experience. But I'm keeping an open mind and hoping it's just my location because where we are now I'd be perfectly satisfied never eating Japanese food that isn't sushi ever again. The food I've eaten is that bad.
Haven't had Okonomiyaki or Karaage.

They don't really work that way, it's all small family owned stuff. The only "chains" that are in large parts of the country are Morimoto's places (and his new ramen shop here in Seattle is a disaster). Like I said, Japanese food isn't prolific like other Asian fare.
THE BENIHANA STORY
Like any good story, the history of Benihana begins with the descendent of a samurai warrior and a small Tokyo coffee shop.
:lawd
Just after the war, Yunosuke Aoki (a samurai descendent and popular entertainer) decided to start a coffee shop with his wife, Katsu. Wanting to offer something different than other coffee shops in the area, Yunosuke Aoki rode his bike over 20 miles to purchase real sugar to serve in his shop.
:aah
This flair for doing something different caught the eye of his son, Hiroaki. As did the shop’s name: Benihana. After college, Hiroaki (or Rocky, as he would become known) moved to the U.S. to pursue his dream of opening his own restaurant. One that combined his father’s flair for doing something different with food that was truly memorable. But with little money to his name, Rocky’s path was not an easy one.
:larry
He started by selling ice cream on the streets of Harlem while studying restaurant management at night. The ice cream business turned out to be very profitable, thanks in part to the colorful Japanese cocktail umbrellas he added to the treats, and he managed to save up $10,000 for his first Benihana restaurant.
:gladbron
With his seed money in place, Rocky took out a loan and used it to start America’s first Japanese teppanyaki restaurant on West 56th street. Named after his parents’ Tokyo coffee shop, Benihana opened in 1964, featuring an authentic Japanese farmhouse interior and food prepared on steel teppanyaki grills right in front of customers. His highly trained teppanyaki chefs delighted customers with intricate knife work and theatrics. Not to mention delicious food. But it wasn’t until legendary food critic Clementine Paddleford gave Benihana a rave review that the restaurant really took off, paying for itself in just six months.
:whew
Soon after, Rocky opened a second Benihana in New York and a third Benihana restaurant in Chicago. By 1972, there were six Benihana locations in the United States, with more opening every day. Sadly, Rocky Aoki died in 2008 at the age of 69. But, his legacy lives on with more than 70 Benihana restaurants in the United States, Caribbean, and Central and South America, and more than 100 million meals served.

Not talking chains but specific restaurants in NYC or LA.
What about the most prolific Japanese chain on the planet?

There's a place called Japan Village in Brooklyn that has a cluster of small restaurants that serves up street food... the only place I've seen a variety of okonomiyaki in the states. If you come out to the island, there's a few restaurants called Kotobuki, it's some of the highest ranked Japanese food in the tri-state area (though mostly known for sushi)
The cafeteria at work does a lot of Japanese food you don't normally see on the menu at stateside Japanese restaurants due to the large amount of expats working here.
NYC also has Go Go Curry and Yoshinoya branches too. And of course Benihana is all around the country. :piss Steve Aoki :piss2

There are a couple of good chains out there:
Kura is a chain of rotating sushi bars. It feels right out of Japan- love going there. No locations in NYC, but they do have ones in LA and NJ. Also several in Texas if you're still there(?). One in Bellevue, too, Mr. Gundam!

I'm not snobby about chains or anything.. seems OK for "cheap sushi" looking at their menu.. but if that reminds you of Japan you'd love living here because that menu is pretty standard fair.
The Haas is the only avocado anyone really eats in the US/Mexico... when I googled it looked like they have those elsewhere but also a lot of other varieties.
I love sushi, but I'm more frugal with food than I used to be... and yes, Ramen I crave far more often. I love Kizuki; Samurai Noodle on the ave is pretty good too.

Distantmantra: Huh, didn't know that existed... go to U-Village fairly often but guess I haven't walked through that area in a while, I'll give it a shot.
And def jealous of your Japan trips lol.. would totally geek out on Ramen there over sushi too.. sushi is more about the product and it's handling and while I'm sure the average is way better there, there's no shortage of good sushi here... Ramen on the other hand I've heard Seattle doesn't even compare to other US cities.
