A neighborhood beggar retrieved the food as soon as Mr. Chang was out of sight. Some years went by, and Mr. Chang had a tremendous financial setback.

He lost everything—his beautiful home, his possessions, every asset he had. Wonton soup is a classic Chinese Dumpling soup loaded with the flavors of shrimp,pork, ginger and seasonings in a light broth. This inexpensive dish is a great way to use up leftover pork!

Are you in the mood for a change of pace? Perhaps another taste of the Far East will whet your appetite! If Szechuan cuisine suits your fancy, Chengtu Chicken is worth the time.

A true scotch egg consists of a hard-cooked egg wrapped enveloped in sausage, then coated in bread crumbs and baked or fried! Here is one of my favorite inexpensive homemade Chinese food dishes.

Chinese chop suey is the quintessential comfort dish — chicken or pork and vegetables cooked in a flavorful sauce. Served with fresh steamed green beans and jasmine rice, you might want to consider making a double batch as the family will go back for seconds and thirds!

Chicken Tikka tends to get overcomplicated in recipes, but this one is fine, quick and easy.

We have a world of food to choose from in the US. Unless someone else was paying for it like a corporation entertaining clients and the cost will be written off on their taxes as a business expense, French restaurants would not survive in the US.

They are not cost competitive with other ethnic food tht is every bit as enjoyable to most Americans. Chinese food is actually quite popular in the US. I mean, there are more restaurants catering that type of food than there are McDonalds here. Because of that, I am only a little surprised that there are only a few upscale Chinese restaurants.

In America, we value mass production and the popular something gets, then the cheaper it is as well and the more likely people will eat it.

We used to live in just above Manhattan, in Riverdale, a nice neighborhood in the Bronx. Every Friday after work we would make it a ritual to go to Aoyu Sushi for a nice night out in an authentic Japanese restaurant. After trying out dozens of sushi restaurants in New York we found Aoyu to be the best bang for your buck.

The fish served here was always of the highest quality, made by real Japanese sushi chefs, and served to us by real Japanese people. From the free green tea to the decor, to the sushi, I loved every one of my Friday nights here.

Here are the directions. Cameron and Natasha blog at The World Pursuit. is this good! New Wonjo is right smack in the center of Koreatown on West 32nd Street.

Here is where I learned to love Korean food. They have the best Korean BBQ. The classic Korean BBQ is upstairs. The first floor is reserved for non-BBQ, traditional Korean fare. The line for Naya at 54 West 56th street, at least at lunchtime, is almost all the way down to the end of the street.

After figuring out it WAS actually for the restaurant I got in the queue which, thankfully moved very quickly.

Once inside this pleasant, efficient eating establishment, you see why the line moves so quickly. The team behind the counter at this Middle Eastern restaurant is super-fast.

And the food is super good. I was delighted to find this slightly out of the way restaurant in Elmhurst, Queens. I loved the Singapore Laksa, one of the most popular dishes, which felt like I was back in Singapore. Worry not!

Karen blogs at Wanderlustingk. This unassuming little neighborhood gem in Jackson Heights will do more than surprise you with its tasty fare, it will absolutely delight you.

Thakali Kitchen offers authentic fine Nepalese cuisine. It is cozy, comfortable and so much fun to try the different menu selections.

The staff is very helpful. Just tell them the type of food you like, and they will make suggestions that invariably hit the mark. One of the most fun things about Thakali is its location.

It is in the middle of Jackson Heights, the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods on planet earth. Japanese street food, particularly that found in Osaka, is in a category by itself. That is why here it is treated as separate from the cuisine of greater Japan.

One of the key components of Osaka street food is the okonomiyaki, a savory pancake concoction consisting of flour, shredded cabbage, and various meat toppings.

Otafuku is the Japanese goddess of mirth. Her job is to make you happy and these tasty pancakes will do just that. Peruvian food has rapidly and methodically climbed its way into the ranks of top ethnic foods in NYC.

And Pio-Pio the sound a Spanish-speaking chicken makes is right up there with the best of them. I first discovered them in Jackson Heights many years ago and was blown away by the taste of their signature dish, chicken flavored with lime.

There are now 9 Pio-Pios strategically situated all over the city. It was even better! Quebecois food. Canada is ethnic. Jaspers Taphouse and Kitchen is a fun place on 9th Avenue and 51st, in the Theater District. But here is a place where they actually seem to have improved on the original you get in Old Quebec.

And now for something completely different. The bar was once the setting for the movie, The Manchurian Candidate. But the back story gets even better. Sinatra, Johnny Carson and other celebrities frequented the restaurant which became known as a hang out for the famous. The restaurant changed hands and became the Russian Samovar but the decor, as especially the famous bar, stayed the same.

I always wondered why tapas were not more popular in the United States. One of the best food experiences you can have is wandering in and out of tapas bars in Spain.

Spain, along with Italy, France, and China, is one of those countries you speak of in hushed, respectful tones when you speak of its cuisine. Boqueria does this legacy justice. Named after the iconic and colorful Barcelona food market, Boqueria serves up tapas, both traditional, and with its own twist.

Try anything here. It is all good. And the wine pairings only serve to enhance the experience. LTK started life in on East 53rd Street, Midtown adding yet another great Thai restaurant to New York City.

Today it continues the Thai food revolution. The flavors are so subtle. Apparently Veselka was one of the top authentic ethnic restaurants in New York City 60 years ago and has retained that spot ever since. I have to admit I did not know much about Ukranian food going into this.

I assumed it was similar to Russian or Polish cuisine which I really like. Yes, there are similarities but, I am told by Ukrainians who know their stuff, that the food in Veselka is unique, authentic and tastes like the food back home in Kiev. They have a large menu that the staff will be happy to help you with.

The delicious dishes are comfort food at its finest. Have the perogies! You can still see vestiges of this community in the local churches, community centers and the few Slavic restaurants that remain.

Veselka itself has been there since They are open 24 hours and opened another location in The Bowery in Pho Sandwich Shop on the Upper East Side is much more than a sandwich shop.

It is a full service, sit-down restaurant with friendly staff, pleasant environment and some of the best Vietnamese food outside of Vietnam. For some strange reason, it is difficult to get authentic Vietnamese food.

I really want to learn how to cook a new favorite, Ethiopian sourdough teff bread with different toppings. It is also worth noting that when we eat out, we often find ourselves at a restaurant that is either Thai, Vietnamese, and Ethiopian, among others because the prices are good, the meals are flavorful, and we can easily share entrées.

These meals eaten out often give me inspiration for learning how to make them at home, for even cheaper! Lamb, by the way, is almost always completely grass-fed, so we often choose that when we can. A local ethnic store can be a great source for many ingredients though always label check, some contain soy oil, MSG, and other unsavory ingredients , as well as fresh seafood, and hard to time food items.

Great tip! So much of ethnic cooking is from scratch, too. Blessings, Nancy. So true! Many of the local restaurants in our area cook from scratch, which is what I look for. We tend toward eating at ethnic restaurants when we eat out as well.

Given my dietary restrictions food sensitivies and GAPS diet and breastfeeding , it seems that ethnic places allow me something I can actually eat. Indian food seems to be our favorite. I get concerned at some Asian places about MSG, soy, sugars, etc. It has always seemed to us that Indian restaurants were the least likely to use things like MSG and packaged foods.

I currently live near Washington, DC and love it because we have every kind of ethnic market available due to the diplomatic population.

Within a five mile radius of my house, I have four Asian supermarkets alone. We also have the restaurants but I love cooking ethnic food so we do that, mostly. That is so neat!

Our Asian markets are fine for the most part…but I hear that there are way better ones on your side of the country. When my husband and I visited Hawaii long ago, we ate on the cheap, buying groceries and making our own meals. However, there was one little deli we stopped at again and again.

Over the last half a century, the most expensive American restaurants served French, then New American and Continental, and now Japanese food, the price of which climbed sharply in the late s and s. Flip that years later, and we think Japanese food is terrific and all of us ought to be eating Japanese food.

Chinese food could be the next cuisine to go upscale. Photo by Flickr user Meg Stewart via Creative Commons license. Italian food received similar treatment when Italians immigrated in the late s and early s, according to Ray.

Their food practices were initially met with disdain, but are now a beloved part of the American diet. These days, Indian food is still on the inexpensive side, but that could change soon, since not all immigrants from India are poor; half are college educated and enter directly into the professional class when they arrive in the United States.

Previous Post. Next Post. This has nothing to do with racism, bigotry, or even plain old bias. Japanese cuisine is a close second because it, too, uses expensive ingredients and requires advanced training.

In other words, this article is looking for racism where none exists. You are absolutely right about the cost of ethnic foods. Racism has nothing to do with food pricing while the amount of work needed to prepare and the cons if its ingredients are. Chinese food would be a lot more expensive if we had to use Yak meat and native chinese vegetables to make it.

By the way there are also many high class chinese restaurants around the USA but even in them the prices are not that high and out of this world. If there were the price of French food would go down like it has for dishes like French Onion Soup and Chicken Cordon Bleu.

When moldy French cheese costs twice what a New York strip steak costs per pound in a supermarket, you know French food is a ripoff. Not only that, their meager portions in restaurants, pretentiousness, and overrated quality are clearly a poor value for money.

We have a world of food to choose from in the US.
