Obviously this list is incomplete and there's overlap in their American manifestations at least, but these are the main options in the US afaict.

I'd probably go with Korean which I hadn't had until I met my wife and my first meal with her parents.

Chinese20.0%

Japanese26.7%

Vietnamese 6.7%

Korean13.3%

Got hooked on Vietnamese when the SARS scare cleaned out the restaurants a few blocks from where I worked in Boston, next level hospitality too. Was happy to support those family restaurants while everyone was crazy.

Lots of French cross-pollination in their cooking makes it pretty unique imo

Japan and Korea for quality (meat, seafood and service) Japan for rice quality Thai for taste Vietnamese for pho's life-giving nutrition Chinese and Malay for dexterity

This is a tough one. Overall all things considered I'll go with Chinese. It definitely has the biggest variety.

Second is Japanese. I'm not even that big a fan of sushi, but I love ramen, udon, Japanese curry, and even their take on western dishes

Third is Korean. Korean BBQ may be one of the best ways in the world to eat meat, but I'm not as big of a fan of their other traditional dishes.

Fourth would be Thai because I love Pad Thai. Fifth Vietnamese. Haven't eaten enough of the rest to form a strong opinion

I think I have to go Japanese because of my love for sushi but Chinese, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese are all good. The others I haven't really tried enough to be a good judge.

It’s between Japanese and Chinese for me, but I’ve lived a very American life with limited exposure to East Asian authentic cuisine.

There's no match to the Japanese from East Asia. My friend @cryotosensei will have to agree on this.

Oh yes I am about to be that guy

You I believe the food I had in Hong Kong was Cantonese based. It was absolutely perfect!

Yeah, I have a feeling that most Americans haven't really been exposed to good, authentic Chinese food.

Same is true for the rest as well, but I think the impact is more significant for Chinese food because of the huge variety of Chinese subcuisines that they likely haven't been exposed to, like Cantonese Dim Sum, or Sichuan spicy food, or Taiwanese street food.

Korean is underrated.

It's not just the food. There is a whole social aspect to it. Doing the table bbq together. Or the thing where you build a domino of shots falling into beer. It's fun.
